MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT a. Business Environment

In FY 2015-16 the global economy showed signs of recovery with growth in demand from the developed countries in the second half of the year. Emerging markets, including India, had to face multiple challenges of rising current account deficit, depreciation of the local currency and additional pressure due to capital outflows.

Your Company’s performance for the year 2015-16 has to be viewed in the context of aforesaid economic and market environment.

b. Industry Structure and Developments

The Company is engaged in the business of producing Sorbitol and Starch. Sorbitol is a water soluble polyhydric alcohol having sweet taste and high stability besides properties of plasticizing. It finds application as input material in various industrial sectors such as Tooth Paste, Pharmaceuticals, Vitamin-C, Cosmetics, Paper and Paints etc. Sorbitol and Starch industries in India are very much fragmented and scattered throughout India. In case of Sorbitol at present only four major players are there in South India. When it comes to Starch, nearly 50% of Indian Starch production comes from Gujarat where four major Starch Factories are located.

The consumer industry i.e. Tooth Paste, Pharma, Cosmetic, Paint etc have shown growth which may lead to further improved business to the company. However, the growth in demand for Sorbitol is fluctuating and presently the prices are encouraging. When it comes to Starch, since 60% of starch goes for food based industry, the demand is not even throughout the year. Further the industry is also suffering from excess capacity and can be compensated only when the demand picks up continuously.

c. Opportunities and threats

The Starch Industry at time shown good future, the raw material availability at reasonable prices and cheaper imports of starch from the neighboring Countries will have an impact on the profitability of the Industry and Your Company is not an exception to it. The company has been facing the threat of import of Sorbitol.

However, your Company is likely to face competition from other competitors; there may be risks inherent in meeting unforeseen situations not uncommon in the industry. Your Company is aware of these challenges and is geared to meet them.

d. Out look

The outlook for the company’s products is reasonably good but the management feels that the Company should be provided with sufficient working capital to achieve higher operations levels. The Company is improving its operating efficiencies in terms of better utilization of plant capacities. The Company is optimistic about its growth prospects in the future. During the year the Company explored exports markets for the products and achieved significant business. It has ambitious plans to capture more new markets to expand the business.

e. Risks and Concerns

The Company faces risk of lower realization in the event of cheap imports. Other risk faced by the Company is that Sorbitol is based on the agro commodity which is exposed to factors of Monsoon in the Country. Besides the factors mentioned above agricultural income, economic scenario, wholesale and consumer price level, impact of trade agreements with other countries and trade blocks etc. are some of the factors which affects the performance of the Company.

f. Internal Control Systems and their adequacy

The Company is in the process of adopting an Internal Control System to balance the financial, operational, compliance and other risks and explore its business opportunities at the fullest to achieve its desired objectives.
