MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In the competitive market, the Company was able to achieve Sales and Other Income, in monetary terms for the year to Rs. 41.51 crores as compared to Rs. 34.23 crores in the previous year and the Income was Rs. 0.10 crores as compared to Rs. 0.06 crores in the previous year. The profitability of the Company has been increased as compared to previous year inspire of slackness of sale of writing,printing&newsprint paper.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:

The Indian paper industry is highly fragmented. According to estimates, the total number of mills vary from anywhere between 500 to over 1000. The top five producers account for 15 per cent of the total paper capacity in the country. The industry is highly diverse, technical and capital intensive. Further norms relating to environmental pollution such as chlorine free operations and tighter effluent treatment/discharge parameters etc. have restricted rapid expansion of paper industry's capacity. Paper consumption is an indicator of the economic and literacy status of any country. While India accounts for nearly 15% of the world population, it consumes only1% of the world paper production. India's per capita consumption of paper at about 7 kgs. is very low as compared to the world average of over 50 kgs. The impact of just 1 kg. Increase in per capita consumption would lead to increase in demand by 1.1 million M.T. of paper. Paper demand is inextricably linked to economic growth, industrial production, advertisement expenditure, expenditure on education etc. while industrial paper demand is driven by industrial output and packaging industry growth etc. printing and writing paper demand is determined by public spending on education, expenditure on publicity and general literacy levels. The growing demand of paper has encouraged a gradual improvement in capacity utilizations. Stringent pollution control norms will act as a determent to smaller players from adding capacities as it would require significant investment to upgrade the existing facility to meet these norms. Though currently there is no law in force, the company that the Indian paper industry will be compelled to eliminate the use of chlorine for bleaching in the next few years.

The paper industry in India is dependent on three parameters:

1. The literacy level (which is dependent on government expenditure on education).

2. The GDP growth rates India has witnessed phenomenal development in the field of education - both in quantitative and qualitative terms, since independence. However, the national goals of universal elementary education and total eradication of illiteracy still remain elusive. The Government is committed to achieving these national goals and has been steadily increasing the budgetary allocation for education. The Country has also made significant strides in higher and technical education. With the Indian economy on a growth path and the government increasing emphasis on the education the future of the Indian paper industry looks positive with immense growth potential.

3. The domestic demand of paper has been forecasted to be 10 million M.T. by 2010 and over 14 Million M.T.by the year 2020. At present the demand of the paper is witnessing a healthy growth of 6.6%(app.) as compared to 5 percent (pp.) in the past. The Indian paper industry is highly fragmented with a large number of organized and unorganized players operating in the market. Some of the key players in the industry are Ballarpur Industries, ITC, Sirpur Paper Mills, West Coast Paper Mills, J K Paper, Century Paper Mills, Tamil Nadu Newsprint, Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited, Rama Newsprint & Papers Limited etc. Indian paper industry needs the following to be globally more competitive:

- Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) and bulk import of waste paper to supplement the raw materials supplies.

- Adequate modernization of the manufacturing facilities.

- Improvement of infrastructure.

- Quality improvements and reduction in cost of production.

- Import policy conducive for import of material, equipment, instruments, raw materials and technologies.

- Achieving Economies of Scale.

However, the Prospects of paper industry appear positive with the existing demand-supply gap, and the Government's focus on education at every level. The further imposition of 1% Higher education Cess and Education Cess of 2% introduced by the Government reflects the focus of the Government towards Education in the Country. The above steps initiated by the Government are expected to further fuel the demand for paper.

Domestic paper prices are linked with international price. Hence, paper prices in India are very much dependent on the international demand supply situation for paper. However, recent stress on education sector and growth in the retail sector has acted as a catalyst for demand in packaging grade paper and therefore the fortunes of the Indian Paper Industry is largely internally driven.

OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY:

The paper industry has been showing signs of increasing demand, and the long-term outlook and growth prospects of the industry appear positive.

The rapid industrialization of the country during the previous five years plans together with the increase in population escalated the country's demand for paper and paperboards. The extent of usages of paper & Packaging Industry in a country is generally taken as parameters of its cultural and industrial activities. It plays an increasingly important role in modern civilized society.

RISKS & CONCERNS:

In this scenario, the player with lower production costs would be in a position to utilize capacities optimally.
