Murli Industries Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

The global economic passed through challenges one more year. The output growth in the year 2013-14 was around 3.00% which was less than 3.20% the year in 2012-13. The slowdown can be experienced everywhere whether it was developed, developing or under develop countries. The Indian Economy also experienced slow down in the GDP this financial year. The GDP of the country was around 4.5% during the Financial Year 2013-14 which was less than the predicted. The decrease in the value of Indian Rupee and lack of clarity in the Govt. Policy also affected all the industries. The final budget presented by the new Govt. gives some hopes for the growth in the GDP and recovery in the performance of the industries in the upcoming period.

The slowdown affected across the board and none of the industry could escape from it.

Agro Products : The country witnessed an all time high production in the food grain during the financial year 2013-14. It achieved 263 million tones of production which means it was higher by 2.4% as compared to the previous financial year 2012-13. Rice and Wheat was the major part of the production and the growth was 1% in rice and 2% in wheat as compared to the last FY 2012-13. The Oilseed also witnessed 7% growth over the production of previous year.

Global Soya bean production could maintain the increasing trend in this year too. During the current FY 2013-14 the production was approx 284 million tones as compared to 268 million tones in the previous year 2012-13. The growth was around 6%. The global growth was mainly due to better production in the USA, Brazil and Argentina.

The soya bean production in India was very low during the current FY 2013-14 as compared to FY 2012-13. The availability of the soya bean in the market was very poor and the trading was very less. The company like yours suffered a lot due to higher production globally. The price of the finished product was less and due to non-availability of soya bean in the local market, the production cost became higher.

The Solvent Extraction segments of the company could not operate throughout the season. The Solvent extraction plant could not operate in the previous financial year due to shortage of fund. The management decided to start the operation in the financial year in question during the season. The lower production of the soya bean resulted less availability of soya bean in the domestic market and the price goes up. On the other hand the higher production in the global market the cost of the finished product was soft and hence company suffered on both side. The management decided to discontinue the operation shortly after the start of operation of the plant.

The Paper & Paper Board Segment : The global demand for paper and paper board marginally increased by 1% in the financial year 2013-14 as compare to the preceding financial year 2012-13. This is continuing third year when the demand for the product increased in globally even though the weak economical condition.

The performance of the paper & paper board was appreciable in the domestic market. When country was facing slow down in the GDP and other industries were struggling the paper and paper board grew by 6%. The demand for the writing & printing paper also increased by 10% during the same period in the domestic market.

The trend is showing that the market will witness a consistent growth of around 6% in the coming five years on year to year basis. The demand for the superior quality of the paper packages product will be higher as comparison to the other types of paper product because of the growth in demand of branded apparel industry, FMCG and organized retail industry.

The Cement : The cement industry of the country faced tough time during the current year. The Govt. took some harsh step to reduce the current account deficit of the country which impacted negatively to the domestic industry particularly related to infrastructure project. Due to the parliamentary vote, the government also could not take the major policy decision. Further due to surface of the coal scam the production of the coal dipped and availability of coal in the market was less, hence the price increases in the open market which resulted in the rise of cost of production. The Indonesian coal was available in the market but the depreciation in the value of the Indian Rupee affected negatively in that too. The starting of operation by new plants and addition of capacity by existing plants added the production capacity higher as compare to the increase in demand of the cement. Hence maximum plants are operating at capacity which is far less than its actual capacity that also affects the cost of production as well as profitability of the company. During the last year the monsoon also prolonged which was resulted the decrease in demand in cement. The manufacturers are also facing the higher cost of transportation due to rise in cost of road transportation and railway freight due to rapid increase in fuel price.

The sign of positivity can be seen in the policy of new government and in the budget. The declaration of govt. related to investment in the infrastructure projects look better prospect for the industry but it will take time to impact in the industry.

The financial year 2013-14 was consisted of nine months while the FY 2012-13 was of fifteen months hence the comparison cannot be reasonable. During the financial year under review the revenue of the company was Rs 24,680.34 lacs. The Profit After Tax was negative during the current year and the amount of loss was Rs 22,831.33 Lacs. The company achieved the revenue which is less than projected by the management. The negative result of the company was mainly due to lower capacity utilization of paper unit and Cement Unit, and non – operation of Solvent plants. The company has been facing cash liquidity problem and it was one of the main reason for affecting the result of the Company. Even though the scarcity of the fund, the company could manage to operate the Paper units and Cement Unit for partial period which helped to achieve the revenue mentioned above. The Cement Unit of the Company is performing at around 40% capacity and the management has been taking all necessary steps to improve the capacity utilization of the said unit but due to shortage of funds not able to take the effective solutions. We are sure that the problem will sort out shortly and it will achieve its true capacity. It is also a great pleasure for us to inform you that the cement product of your company established a niche market in the central and western India.

The Profit of the Company was negative during the period hence there is no transfer of any fund in the General Reserve during the year. During the current year the company referred to the BIFR under the provision of Chapter III of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 for determination whether the Company is a Sick Industrial Company or not. The same is under process before the BIFR.

Business Segments:

Solvent Extraction Plant

The Solvent Extraction business of the company was the main back bone of the business of the company since its inception till few years back. The company has been suffering through shortage of fund. The solvent extraction segment has suffered most due to the said problem. The company started its operation at the beginning of the season but could not continue for long and had to discontinue the operation during the season itself. The availability of soya bean in the domestic was lower as compared to other years and hence the price was higher. The production of the soya bean in the global market was better than as compare to preceding years so the price of the finished products was soft. Hence the company was facing hit from both sides and it affected the operation of the units. The lower revenue of the company during the period in concern is mainly due to non – performance of this segment.
