- MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

- Economy and Developments

In 2016-17 the world economy showed a very moderate increase. The global economy for a long time has been bearing the brunt of the sluggish pace in global investment and adding to the woes have been the diminishing growth of world trade. For the April 2016-March 2017 period, the Indian economy advanced 7.1 percent, in line with the estimate but below 8 percent in the previous year. However as compared to the world economy the Indian economy has shown a positive trend.

The demonetization move by the Government in December 2016 had a short term adverse impact on the Indian economy. For the first time in over a decade the production volume in the Industry showed a decline. However the Cement Industry was quickly able to recover from this disturbance and was probably one of the sectors to show the quickest recoveries.

- Opportunities, Threats, Risks, Concerns and Outlook

The Union Budget 2017-18 has been considered as a very optimistic budget especially for the infrastructure sector. With the PM Awaas Yojana, there will be one crore houses to be made for the homeless, the allocation for the same has increased from Rs, 15,000 crore to Rs, 23,000 crore.

Infrastructure and Rural development as in the last year has been a focus in the current year as well which will definitely boost the demand for cement.

The prices of coal and petcoke have risen sharply in the past six months, leading to higher fuel costs, which is a matter of high concern for the Cement Industry.

However considering the Government''s constant endeavor towards infrastructural development, the best days for the Cement Industry are not far away

Cement Sales revenue grew 12.66% to Rs, 35,981 lakhs mainly on account of increased sale volumes and also due to better price realization.

Company continued to maintain its cost streamlining efforts during the year. The continued efforts resulted in bringing down the variable costs at slightly lower levels as compared to previous year.

The Company rationalized its finance costs during the year by repaying its term loan through internal accrual and efficient utilization of working capital limits.

Depreciation cost during the year was lower as compared to previous year as major part of Plant & Machinery (Line I) was depreciated fully during previous year based on useful life as provided in Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

- Economy and Developments

As has been the case in the last few years the global economy continues to be extremely gloomy and volatile and the effects in the market are only palpable. The biggest task in which India has been continually excelling is the one of insulating its economy from the ramifications of global economic uncertainties. India continues to be among the most stable and growth oriented economies in the world. While the Global economy reels under a growth of less than 4%, the Indian economy stands strong at around 7% growth. Sustenance is the key and the fact that India can still do better by reducing the Corporate Debt and improving credibility only shows that a long term growth vision of 8-10% growth is not over optimistic.

Being just short of 400 Million Tonnes capacity, India is the second largest cement producer in the world. The demand for cement in the last year has once again failed to reach the expected levels due to the sluggish real estate sector and the industrial demand not picking up. The major demand for cement is largely from the housing sector, however the industry did not see the spurt in demand as anticipated.

The industry currently stands at crossroads wherein the production capacities have been increased in anticipation of the infrastructural development creating a huge demand supply inequality. However once the infrastructure projects take off we can expect this inequality to be considerably reduced

- Opportunities, Threats, Risks, Concerns and Outlook

Cement is indispensable for nation building and despite the current slowdown; the demand for cement is expected to rise considering the slew of infrastructural and other projects that the Government has visualized to execute.

The Government has in the current budget announced a 100 per cent deduction for profits to an undertaking in housing project for flats up to 30 sq. metres in four metro cities and 60 sq. metres in other cities, approved during June 2016 to March 2019 and completed in three years. This continued emphasis that the Government has been giving the housing sector will in the years to come give a definitive impetus to the Cement Sector.

Currently both the demand for cement as well as prices of coal and fuel is at its lowest. The production process of cement being fuel intensive, any increase in fuel and Coal prices coming along with an increase in demand for cement would impact the price realization substantially. This is a risk and concern constantly confronted by the Cement Industry.

Though India is the second largest producer of Cement in the World, its per capita consumption still ranks among the lowest in the world. So there is huge scope for improvement and outlook is always positive.

The Central Government has announced additional allocation for Smart City development and Pradhan Mantri Gram sadak yojana to the tune of over Rs, 25000 crores. The various State Government''s have also made substantial schemes and provisions for infrastructural development in their respective budgets. Any activity of infrastructural development is good news for the prospect of Cement Industry and its future outlook.

The Government''s impetus for affordable housing will also give a boost to the cement sector.

Although the current scenario seems bleak, but the Government''s continued efforts to improve the infrastructure condition will definitely lead to a boost in the cement sector.

Mar 31, 2013

To, The Members,

The Directors have pleasure in presenting the Twenty Ninth Annual Report together with the Audited Accounts and Cash Flow statement for the financial year ended 31st March 201 3.

Financial Results

The Financial results for the year ended 31st March, 201 3 are summarised below:

Rs.in Lakhs

Review of Operations

The company has produced a quantity of 8,37,993 MT of cement during the current financial year compared to the previous year production of 7,89,1 74 MT of cement registering an increase of 6%. The quantity sold during the year under review stands at 8,40,872 MT compared to the quantity of 7,94,528 MT during the previous financial year showing an increase of 6%.

The gross sales in terms of value during the year under review were at Rs. 3281 1.12 Lakhs as against Rs. 33062.32 Lakhs during the previous financial year. Similarly the Profit Before Tax for the current financial year amounts to Rs. 463.21 Lakhs against Rs.1 821.21

Lakhs during the previous financial year The profit after tax for the year under review stands at Rs. 309.1 1 Lakhs compared to Rs.1 580.45 Lakhs during the previous financial year.

It can be observed while there is an improvement in the performance in the physical terms, there is a decline in financial terms during the year under review compared to the previous year because of decrease in sale price.

The higher production and sale in terms of quantity has not helped the company to post a better performance compared to the previous year. During the year 2012-13 the sale price has gone down substantially due to excess capacities over demand in consumption. The average increase in unit charges of power stands at about 38% (current year cost per unit is Rs.5.53 while Rs.4.00 during the previous year). Further there was a set back to cement industry in Andhra Pradesh due to non supply of sand on account of High Court intervention for a period of six months. This has resulted to force the company to sell its product in other states and there by the margins have come down due to higher cost of freight.

But for the increase in these costs, the company would have been in a much better position during the year 201 2-1 3. Inspite of the increase in these fuel costs and volatile market conditions, the company could perform on par with other cement companies due to higher production and sales quantities.

The cement industry, with its fluctuating fortunes, is known for abnormal variations in the prices owing to several reasons including the changes in demand for the product, supply side changes, increase in installed capacities, changes in the Government spending pattern, emphasis on infrastructure projects, political Situation etc. Althought the year under review was quite discouraging it is hoped that the situation would improve better for the coming year.

The statistics available show that there is negative growth in AP for cement demand by about 3% during the year 201 2-1 3 compared to the positive growth of 2 % in the year 201 1-12 and 1 2% during 201 0-11. The company could over come the impact of this negative growth by expanding its marketing network in neighbouring states by increasing the sale in those states.

Dividend

The Directors have not recommended any dividend since the resources are required for the continuance of the business.

Fixed Deposits

The aggregate amount of deposits accepted by the Company stood at Rs.451.49 Lakhs. Deposits matured and unclaimed as on 31st March, 201 3 were NIL.

Review of Operations

The company has produced a quantity of 7,89,174 MT. of cement during the current financial year compared to the previous year production of 6,51,278 MT. of cement registering an increase of 21 %. The quantity sold during the year under review stands at 7,94,528 MT. compared to the quantity of 6,38,449 MT. during the previous financial year showing an increase of 24%.

The gross sales in terms of value during the year under review were at Rs.37645.47 Lakhs as against Rs.22379.87 Lakhs during the previous financial year translating into an increase of 68 %. Similarly the Profit Before Tax for the current financial year is Rs.21 85.42 Lakhs against Rs.1 29.49 Lakhs for the previous financial year. The profit after tax for the year under review stands at Rs.1 580.45 Lakhs compared to Rs.57.61 Lakhs during the previous financial year.

It can be observed that there is a significant improvement in the performance both in the physical terms and financial terms during the year under review compared to the previous year.

The higher production and sale as well as and the improved sale price have helped the company to post a better performance compared to the previous year. During the year 201 1-12 there was an increase in the cost of electricity and coal, which are major components of cost for a cement industry. The average increase in unit charges of power stands at about 1 1 % (current year average Rs.4.00 per unit and Rs.3.59 during the previous year) and the cost of coal per tone has gone up on an average by 28% (from average of Rs.3923.00 during 201 0-11 to Rs.5049.00 during the year 2011-12). But for the increase in these costs, the company's profitability would have been much better during the year 201 1-12. Inspite of the increase in these fuel costs, the company could get a better financial results with the help of higher production and sale quantities and better realizations in sale price.

The cement industry, with its fluctuating fortunes, is known for abnormal variations in the prices owing to several reasons including the changes in demand for the product, supply side changes, increase in installed capacities, changes in the Government spending pattern, emphasis on infrastructure projects, political Situation etc. The year under review has seen a better price realization and it is hoped that the situation would continue.

The statistics available show that there is negative growth in AP for cement demand by about 2% during the year 2011-12 compared to the negative growth of 12 % in the year 2010-11 and positive growth of 3% during 2009-10. The company could over come the impact of this negative growth by expanding its marketing network to neighboring states by increasing the quantum of sale in these states.

Expansion Project

The company has embarked upon an expansion project, through its fully owned subsidiary M/s.Vennar Ceramics Limited to set up a 6500 Sq. metres per day of ceramic wall tiles project at its existing power plant site at Perikigudem. The estimated project cost for the same stands at Rs.55 crores. As the company has started to scout for a strategic partner with experience in marketing of ceramic products particularly wall tiles, it has been identified that M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited is interested in taking up marketing arrangement as well as to invest in the company as strategic partner. In view of the fact that they have an established brand with all India presence and in order that synergies' in operation and marketing can be achieved, it has been thought of that the company should go in to a strategic association with M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited. They have been invited to take up a stake of 51%. Accordingly the total project cost of 55 crores is being financed both by Anjani Portland Cement Limited and M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited with term loan assistance of Bank of Baroda. The tiles project is expected to become operational during the middle of June, 2012. The management is confident that with the assistance of M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited the ceramics wall tiles project would be an added advantage to the Anjani Portland Cement Limited.

To The Members,

The Directors have pleasure in presenting the Twenty Seventh Annual Report together with the audited accounts and Cash Flow statement for the financial year ended 31st March, 2011.

Financial Results

The Financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2011 are summarised below:

Review of Operations

The company has produced 6,51,278 MT. of cement during the current financial year compared to the previous year production of 4,97,723 MT. of cement registering an increase of 31 %. The cement sold during the year under review stands at 6,38,449 MT. compared to 4,94,362 MT. during the previous financial year showing an increase of 29%.

The gross sales in terms of value during the year under review were at Rs. 22379.87 Lakhs as against Rs. 15147.05 Lakhs during the previous financial year translating into an increase of 48 %. Similarly the Profit Before Tax for the current financial year amounts to Rs. 129.49 Lakhs against Rs. 2079.31 Lakhs during the previous financial year. The profit after tax for the year under review stands at 757.61 Lakhs compared to Rs. 1168.93 Lakhs during the previous financial year.

As can be observed, there is a significant improvement both in the physical terms and financial terms during the year under review compared to the previous year. The main reasons for the steep fall in profit before tax during the year 2010-11 are as follows:

a. The interest cost during the year has gone up to Rs. 2590.14 Lakhs compared to previous year amount of Rs. 533.75 Lakhs (an increase by Rs. 2056.39 Lakhs). This increase is basically on account of the interest on the project cost which is fully to be charged to Profit & Loss A/c during this year which was not there during the previous financial year.

b. The higher depreciation during the year of Rs. 1274.78 Lakhs compared to that of Rs. 399.46 lakhs during the previous financial year ( an increase of Rs. 875.32 Lakhs) which is also due to the same reason as that of interest.

The company could achieve higher production and a higher sales value/turnover inspite of the fact that there is a steep decline in the prices of cement during the financial year compared to the previous financial years. As you may be aware, the drop in price realization is more significant in the state of Andhra Pradesh compared to the other markets in the country.

The cement industry, with its fluctuating fortunes, is known for abnormal variations in the prices owing to several reasons including the changes in demand for the product, supply side changes, increase in installed capacities, changes in the Government spending pattern, emphasis on infrastructure projects, political Situation etc. As the members are aware, during the year under review, there were several disturbances in the state of Andhra Pradesh which have had an adverse impact on the price realization as well as on cement off take.

The statistics available show that there is negative growth in AP for cement demand by about 12% during the year 2010-11 compared to the positive growth of 2.8 % in the year 2009-10 and positive growth of 19% during 2008-09. This negative growth has shown an adverse impact on the bottom line of the company, though there is a significant improvement in the sales turnover.

Expansion Project

A mention has been made about expansion project taken up by the company in previous annual report. The company could achieve higher production during the year 2010-11 partly owing to the additional capacity created by the expansion project, however, owing to the reasons explained above the production has not yet reached the full capacity utilization due to the adverse market conditions and it is estimated that the year 2011- 12 will witness a significant increase in both the quantity terms and in value terms as well as the profitability.

Dividend

The Board of Directors of the company has recommended a dividend of Rs. 0.80 paisa per equity share of Rs. 10/- each for the year ended 31st March, 2011.

Fixed Deposits

The aggregate amount of deposits accepted by the Company stood at Rs. 250.51 Lakhs and matured and unclaimed deposits as on 31st March, 2011 were NIL.

Review of Operations:

The company has produced 4,97,723 MT of cement during the current financial year compared to the previous year production of 4,74,030 MT registering a growth of 5 %.

However, the gross sales in terms of value during the year under review were at Rs.15147.05 Lakhs as against Rs. 16599.51 Lakhs during the
