    Sakthi Sugars Limited

    MANAGEMENT'S ANALYTICAL REPORTAn overviewThe Company is engaged in the business of manufacture of white crystal sugar, industrial alcohol and soyaproducts. Molasses, one of the bye-products, is used in the distillery for manufacture of industrial alcohol. Press-mud is processed and converted into bio-fertiliser for direct application in fields. The Company has entered intoan arrangement with Tamil Nadu Newsprints and Papers Limited under which the bagasse produced by theCompany is exchanged for steam required for operation of the mill and the boilers at Sakthinagar.The Co-generation plant erected at Sakthinagar with a capacity to produce 32 MW of power is expected tocommence commercial production during the fourth week of October 2003.The Ethanol plant with a capacity to produce anhydrous alcohol of 12500 KL per annum at Sakthinagar and aBottling Plant with a bottling capacity of 600 bottles per minute at Sivaganga are ready for commencement oftheir commercial production.Industry Structure and DevelopmentDuring the crushing season 2001-2002, the total level of production of sugar in India was 185.271akhs MTs. Theglut in the sugar market had an adverse effect on the pricing front and the free sale sugar price had touched rockbottom level. This was due to off-loading of sugar stock by some of the sugar mills based on the Court Orderswithout obtaining release orders from the Government. However, the Government has taken certain correctivemeasures by making necessary amendment in the Essential Commodities Act. Rays of hope are visible as theprice for free sale sugar is gradually picking-up.The Government has decided to create a buffer stock of 20 lakh tonnes of sugar for a period of one year. TheCentral Government has notified to reimburse the internal transportation cost and freight charges on exportshipment of sugar upto an extent of Rs.350 per tonne with a view to encourage export of sugar.Blending of ethanol with petrol upto 5% has been made mandatory in nine States and four Union Territorieseffective from 30th June 2003.Opportunities and threatsWhile the policy of the Government with respect to mixing of ethanol with petrol and creation of buffer stockupto 20 lakh tonnes will be encouraging factors to the industry, over production of sugar and resultant glut inthe market pose threat to the industry. The action of the Government with respect to implementation of releasemechanism of sugar stock may help in firming up of sugar price. The drought situation in Tamil Nadu willadversely affect the availability of sugarcane and thereby the level of crushing during the ensuing season wouldlikely to come down.All new projects, viz. co-generation plant, ethanol plant and bottling plant will commence their operations shortlyand generate sizable revenue to the company.Segmentwise and Productwise performanceSegmentwise results are given in the accounts for the year ended 30.6.2003. Productwise performance is furnishedin the Directors Report.Financial performance with respect to Operational PerformanceThe gross income for the year under review is Rs.27958.58 lakhs.

No provision has been made for income tax.Internal Control SystemThe Company has an in-house internal audit function to ensure that all activities are monitored and controlled.Adequate internal checks are built in to cover all monetary transactions. These checks and controls are reviewedfor improvement periodically.Human Resources DevelopmentIndustrial relations at all plants and offices remain cordial.
