During the current year under review, the average egg price stood at Rs.2.28/egg when compared to
Rs.1.92/egg during the previous year ended 31st March, 2009. The average realization of egg powder had
also shown decline from Rs 316.23/kg during the corresponding previous year 2008-09 to Rs.258.70/kg
during the current year under review. Despite worldwide recession, the quantity sold during the current
year stood at 4391.67 MT, when compared to 3865.01 MT during the previous year. The Interest &
Finance charges increased to Rs.8.12 crores due to expansion of Feed Mill and Egg Powder unit and
increase in average borrowings.
The Capital Expenditure incurred and funded for the year is Rs.4573.10 lakhs of which Rs.1096.70 lakhs
pertain to plant and machinery.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The steep recession continuing in the countries where the company is predominantly exporting its products,
is restricting the increase in sales volume and reducing the price realization. Therefore, the sales outlook
for the year 2010-2011 will remain the same as that of the previous year. The shell egg price in Europe is
low and there is no increasing trend, as expected. But the egg prices in US after the financial crisis has
fall in drastically. Hence due to low cost eggs in US, we are facing stiff competition on price front in Japan
and Europe. In order to sustain our volume of business, our company has also reduced the selling price.
However, there are signs of recovery of shell egg price in the future. The company is evolving strategies,
in such a way, to retain at least the present price levels and volume. Because of this, the margin continues
to be under pressure, as we do not want to lose the customers. The customers are happy with our quality
and strict adherence to time schedule.
Egg processing industry is a raw material intensive industry and hence fluctuation is egg price widely
influences cash position and operating margin of this industry. The egg price was ruling at high throughout
the year and this factor had a substantial adverse effect on the bottom line of the company for this year
also. Indian egg processing industries do not have any domestic market for processed eggs and therefore
the performance of the company is having a direct correlation to the performance of the global economy,
The slow down in the performance of the US economy resulted in appreciation of Indian Rupee against US
dollar and as a consequence the operating profit of the company during this year was lower as against the
previous year.
The company has been working very hard on value added products to get a premium prices from the
market price. The company has identified Russia as an important destination for Egg yolk powder. It is in
the process of establishing the branch office in Moscow.
With our standing experience in overseas for over years, we had indentified few sources who will be able
to help us in our operations at Russia. We believe that our direct contact with end users will give us
better realization and relationship. We plan to make use of different agents in Russia to service our
customers and pay a commission to them on the business provided by them. With our experience in
Europe Union and other markets, we are confident of establishing a market share in Russia, taking
advantage of better unilateral relationship our Country had developed over these years.
During the recent visits, we have started opening dialogue with the prosperous buyers there and we have
received encourage response. Our credibility can be easily established with the fact that our products
exported to Europe are further value added and exported to Russia. The biggest step now is to further
value add our product to suit the Russian Market, which needs a lot of time and effort technically and
commercially. These measures are absolutely required, if we want to retain our position in the overseas
market. We are confident that our efforts will bear results in about a year or so.
We are also closely monitoring the political situation in that country and the payment terms of the customers
also. Since the market is booming and the realization is better than any other overseas country, we are
serious about this market. As the entire situation is in a fluid state, we will be able to firm up our assumptions
with solid figures over a period of time.
In addition to our efforts in Russia, our exclusive offices SKM Europe and SKM Japan are continuously
working to expand our market with better realization.
We are confident of increasing our volume and realization in the coming years with the help of the economic
recovery in the US and the EU.
POULTRY PROJECT:
We are taking about 450000 eggs from our farm on daily basis. It is expected that this project would
make a significant contribution to the bottom line of the company in the ensuing years. In addition to the
monetary benefits, this project will enable the company’s tracking system to extent upto the stage of feed
ingredients level. The advantage of poultry farm is that we can purchase good quality salmonella free
chicks from known source which is pre requisite for food safety. The company has a very good bio
security control in our premises and strict monitoring of health of birds. We can also produce good quality
residue free eggs by giving good quality feed & water to birds. Traceability is much easier in our own
production.
Poultry, in fact, is one of the fastest growing segments of the Agricultural sector in India. A significant
feature of India’s poultry has been its transformation from a backward activity into a major commercial
activity in just four decades. This transformation has evolved sizable private sector investments in breeding,
hatching, rearing and processing.
Particularly the investments in Layer farming is expected to be much better and we can visualize it at the
rate of 7.5% increase every year and this increase is directly proportional to the population and the per
capita consumption. National Eggs Coordination Committee has already projected a poultry plan for the
year 2015 based on the target of achieving 180 eggs as per capita consumption. This will have a thrust on
developing the rural consumption which is the focal point at the pace of 20% per annum.
The Indian Egg price has been historically very close to the American prices of around 0.4 Euro per Kg.
but from 2006-07 onwards it has gradually increased to 0.55 Euro per Kg. in 2008-09. In the last year the
egg prices are dramatically increased to reach a level of 0.75 Euro per Kg.
FEED MILL :
The company started production on 04/06/09 and the capacity of the plant is 200 mt/day. Feed cost
constitutes a major component in the cost of producing eggs and the benefits out of the poultry farm can
be improved. Also the cost of feed ingredients fluctuate widely and the company is not able to take
advantage of the price movements of feed ingredients which can be achieved by implementing efficient
purchasing system and the company hopes that it would make a considerable savings in the feed ingredients
and processing cost. In addition the company is receiving enquiries for supply of various kinds of egg
powders which can be possible if eggs are produced in the farm by changing feed composition mix on trial
basis. The purpose of extending its tracking system from present system up to feed ingredients stage is
possible. In view of the reasons cited, the company established a feed mill at Ayyempalayam village at
Aravakkurichi Taluk, Karur District.
For utilizing the maximum capacity from the present level, we have adopted a new strategy by which the
feed mill is given for lease to the prospective customers, for use of specific hours only, without compromising
use for our own consumption, which will improve the revenue generation of the company in the long run.
We have got offers from local farmers and other sources also.
SUBSIDIARY COMPANY :
During this year under review the company’s marketing subsidiary SKM Europe BV, Netherlands earned a
profit of Rs. 2.31 lakhs. The subsidiary helps the company in a big way in identifying new customers in
Europe and improved the confidence level of customers through timely and qualitative services. The subsidiary
is also taking initiatives to explore into markets which are untapped by the company till now. The Annual
Accounts of the subsidiary company for the financial year under review are attached with this report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
Management Discussion and Analysis forming part of this Report is in compliance with Corporate Governance
Standards incorporated in the listing agreement with Stock Exchanges and such statements may be “forward-
looking” within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Actual results could differ laws
and regulations. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Important factors
that could make a difference to the Company’s operations include economic conditions affecting demand/
supply and price conditions in the domestic and overseas markets in which the Company operates, changes
in the Government regulations, tax laws and other statutes and other incidental factors.
COMPANY PROFILE:
The company is engaged in processing of shell eggs for export markets. The company already started a
poultry farm for captive use of the egg processing plant situated at Cholangapalayam village in Erode
District. As the business of the company is export oriented, movements in local currency against major
currencies have a severe bearing on the performance of the company.
India is one of the leading players in egg production and the cost of producing egg in India is also cheap.
India ranks fifth in the world. India is exporting egg powder, frozen egg yolk and albumen powder to Europe,
Japan and other countries. Table eggs are mostly exported to middle east. The company uses predominantly
local inputs and exporting its final products, changes in economies both locally and at international level
affect the growth and performance of the company. The abnormal increase in the cost of ingredients used in
the manufacture of poultry feeds put a tremendous pressure on the cost of producing eggs which will in turn
have a direct bearing on the profitability of the company.
INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE:
As only few companies in India are engaged in processed eggs business, data relating to performance of
this industry are not available. The company operated its plant and produced 4549 MTs of egg powder as
against the installed capacity of the plant 6300 Mts. As rupee strengthened against US dollar unexpectedly,
the operating margin during this year is not commensurate with the increased volume of sale of 4391.67
MTs. However in the current financial year the situation of INR v US dollar took a reversed trend and it is
expected that the company’s operating margin would be improved to a significant level.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK:
Pronouncements by several leading economists and Central Bankers across the world would suggest that
the worst is over for the global economy, There are early, if feeble, signs of recovery in the US economy,
which as a significant bearing on the other major economies including India. Even though headline inflation
has been brought under control, the projected increase in government borrowing is likely to have a adverse
impact on market liquidity and consequently, on interest rate. Your company, as in the past, will continue to
pursue its objective of grow with quality; Your Company also continues to focus on new opportunities to
improve profitability.
The year under review faced with the problem of unprecedented increase in egg prices in this current financial
year also the trend of increase in raw material price continued as there is a spurt in feed ingredients cost.
As the increase in feed ingredients cost experienced through out the world there is a corresponding upward
movement in the final product price which neutralized the thread posed due to raw material price movements.
The outlook of this industry appears to be bright by considering the present trend in movements in the end
product price and raw material cost.
STRENGTH OF THE COMPANY:
The entire production process of the company is well documented which helps the company to track causes
for product complaints up to raw material sources level. The company has started poultry farm for captive
consumption and the tracker system of the company will be extended up to the feed ingredients level. The
company also made significant investment in process related and residue labs to be at par with international
standards and now the company is resourced with facilities to make sample analysis in its lab and thereby
obviating the need to get the sample analysis done in outside laboratories. The company’s marketing subsidiary
at Netherlands helps the company in servicing its customers and also provides required vital inputs for price
negotiation and finalization of new contracts. The company’s supply chain management is so effective
which made the company to register itself as one of the preferred suppliers of renowned customers.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
The steadily increasing oil price remained the overriding concern of the company. In order to overcome this,
the company is taking initiates to shift to some other cheap fuels.
The recovery in international prices will happen in tandem with the economic recovery in the US and the EU.
The economic recovery will lead to higher demand for eggs pushing the price of eggs in these markets.
Consequently the egg product prices will go up. On the other hand the egg producers are losing money which
will affect the production capability, resulting in lower supply which will also lead to increase in egg prices.
But the most important factor will be the economic recovery. Based on the past experience the industry will
correct itself in the supply side in 6 months to 1 year time period to have better realization. Considering the
economic situation we expect normal price situation in two years.
India exported around 1500 reefer containers of table eggs in the year 2004 mostly to the gulf market. Much
of these Exports are made from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Every Year there was an increase of 100
containers. We hope trend will continue and from our side we have to develop markets in South East Asian
and remaining Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt where the consumption is also quite high. The
local usage of egg powder in Bakery products, baby food and defense supplies will substantially increase
the production.
The overall development of the Layer poultry sector is continuing its pace and heading for a very bright future.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Indian economy has been, more or less, able to withstand tremors of global financial melt down. Even
though the rate of GDP growth has slowed down considerably it is expected to be around 6% The Company
has plans to penetrate into new markets which are untapped. Vast market for processed egg products is in
existence in Russia and the company is taking efforts to enter in to such markets. The company is in the
process of taking strategic action for tapping Russian markets.
The company’s consistent quality in products and services was very much appreciated by our customers
and we achieved good capacity utilization. We realized that we could get a better price from the customers
directly instead of invoicing through the collaborator Belovo. We had established our own subsidiary company,
SKM Europe in the Netherlands to cater to the EU Market. Simultaneously an exclusive distributor was also
appointed in the name of SKM Japan to cater to our Japanese customers. The rest of the market was
serviced through several distributors and agents.
With the efforts of our partners in Europe and Japan the company was able to realize better prices and
service the customers more precisely.
THREATS:
The company recognizes that threats are inevitable in business and believe in identifying and reviving risks
on an on going basis. Un-intercepted supply of raw materials at a competitive price is one of the threats that
will pose risk on the profitability of the company. As the raw material cost is having direct correlation with
feed cost, which predominantly uses agricultural commodities, climatic changes will affect the availability
of feed ingredients. Supply of raw material will be affected during the period of monsoon failure and the
company by making investment in its own farm resulted in de-risking the threat to a greater extent. It is
forcing companies to plant operations effectively and produce quality products at lower costs.
EXCHANGE RISK
The change in exchange rate plays a major role in determining the realization in Rupee. The cross currency
between Dollar and Euro also has an impact on the competitiveness of US offers in Europe and the
exchange rate between Euro and Dollar to the Japanese Yen also plays an important role in deciding the
competitiveness.
The price realized in Rupee has not increased proportionately to the price increase Euro and Dollars terms.
Despite of all these risks, overall prospects for the Indian poultry industry in general appears positive,
considering government stimulus packages and the Indian economy recovering faster.
The impact of risks will be reduced through continuous monitoring, timely action and control measures by
the company.
RISK MANAGEMENT:
The company has proper and adequate systems of internal control to ensure protection of assets, proper
financial & operating functions and compliance with the policies, procedures, applicable Acts and Rules.
The company’s internal controls are supplemented by sound internal audit practices. The Audit Committee
at their meetings regularly reviews the financial, operating, internal audit & compliance reports to improve
performance. The heads of various monitoring / operating cells are present for the Audit Committee meetings
to answer queries raised by the Audit Committee.
INDUSTRIAL RELATION:
The relationship between the management and employees are continued to be cordial. The company is in
the process of developing system for identification of contribution made by individual employees for rewarding
them commensurate with their performance. Restructuring salaries and wages are also under taken for
remunerating employees linked to the performance of the company.
The Company is committed to high standard of Corporate Governance in all its activities and processes.
Through its Corporate Governance measures, the company aims to maintain transparency in its financial
reporting and keep all its shareholders informed about its policies performance and developments. The key
elements of Corporate Governance viz transparency, internal controls, risk management and communications
are being scrupulously followed and being practiced.
The company formed various committees to oversee the functions of the management. The committees
meet regularly and transact the business assigned to it.
