For C. C. CHOKSHI & CO., Chartered Accountants H. P. SHAH H. P. SHAH P A R T N E R AHMEDABAD DATED : J UNE 04, 2005 14 ANNUAL REPORT 2004-2005 ANNUAL REPORT 2004-2005 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT (1) INDUSTRY STRUCTURE : The Companys main products were Mixed Tocopherols, Sterols, Dimer Acid, Linoleic Acid and Monobasic Acid. (A) Mixed Tocopherol Concentrate : The Company continues to enjoy the advantage of First Mover for this product in India. Its product is well accepted by U.S. and J apan based Natural Vitamin E manufacturing Companies. (B) Sterols : Ours is the only Indian Company making exportable quality of sterols. During the year 2004-2005, the export of this product in terms of value was higher by about 50 %. The demand for sterols, particularly in U.S.A. is good. (C) Linoleic Acid : HKFLs Linoleic Acid has become a benchmark for quality standard in India. However, as of now market for such Linoleic Acid is limited. (D) Dimer Acid : In the 3 years of Companys entry which again was the first of its kind, in this Import Substitute product, Company has been able to achieve about one third share of Indian demand. Due to our strategy of pricing the product near that of final cost of imported Dimer to the user, we do not anticipate any difficulty in marketing and can increase our share when required. (E) Monobasic Acid : Monobasic Acid is a by-product of Dimer Acid production. The market for this acid is limited and growing at slower pace. However, we are able to sell the quantity produced by us. (2) OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS : Govt. of Gujarats policy of excise sops in Kutch region had attracted many vegetable oil refineries. This has resulted in easy availability of required raw materials. The location of our plant has thus become an ideal one. Our raw materials are by-products of Soya Oil refinery. As India is substantially short in edible oil supply, more and more multinationals, particularly from U.S.A. are setting up their shops here and have adopted joint venture and acquisition route to increase their presence in edible oil market. Their entry into our business segment may result inadditional competition for us. (3) SEGMENT WISE AND PRODUCT WISE : The Company has only one segment. As far as products are concerned, the Company now processes both the by-product streams of vegetable oil refineries viz. Vegetable Oil based Fatty Acid Distillate and Acid Oil. 15 H. K. FINECHEM LIMITED H. K. FINECHEM LIMITED (4) OUTLOOK : Outlook appears better. The fatty acids of the Company are considered to be of the best quality among the resin / paint manufacturing Companies in India. The products meant for export viz. Mixed Tocopherol Concentrate and Sterols are also looking up. With rawmaterial prices stabilising at its normal levels with their increased availability, the Company is well placed to derive the benefit by going for controlled expansion. (5) RISKS AND CONCERNS : The major threat for the Company is dumping of fatty acids at cheaper prices by Asian Countries, particularly Korea and China. With peak custom duty rate for the raw materials likely to be 10 % next year, the Company will have to match the price of its fatty acids with that of imported fatty acids. (6) INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY : The Company has an effective internal control system for all its departments. All the transactions of financial nature are well documented and authorised by concerned departmental head and finally approved by one of the two wholetime Directors. (7) DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE : The financial performance of the Company, since last 3 years has been continuously improving and the Company hopes to continue this trend during the year 2005-2006. This improved performance and its future sustainability has helped the Company to change its bankers from Bank of Baroda to State Bank of India who offered term loans at most competitive rate. This enabled the Company to swap its Foreign Currency Debt into Indian Rupee term loans. The Company is now insulated from future adverse foreign exchange rate as far as its borrowings are concerned. The Companys debt-equity ratio at 0.38 : 1 will enable it to avail fresh borrowings if and when required at competitive rate. The Company is having adequate working capital limits with State Bank of India. The Companys Share Capital stands at Rs. 9.50 crores. The book value of the Companys equity share stands at Rs. 14.11 as on March 31, 2005. (8) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES / INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS FRONT, INCLUDING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED : The relations between management and the personnel of the Company have continued to be cordial. The staff turnover ratio is very nominal. The average number of people employed by the Company during the year were 125. 16 ANNUAL REPORT 2004-2005 ANNUAL REPORT 2004-2005 Auditors Report Auditors Report TO THE MEMBERS OF H. K.
