ORGANISATION STRUCTURE The organisation structure of MRO-TEK is detailed below:

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Networking is one of the fastest growing areas of business worldwide. With the integration of voice, data and video, the Networking business is undergoing a paradigm shift in terms of explosion of new technologies, capabilities and applications that are significantly changing our lives. In particular, the growth of mobile phones and Internet is revolutionizing the way we communicate and how business is conducted by not only the Networking equipment manufacturers and operating companies but also by the firms across the vertical markets of banking, insurance, finance, retail, etc. Wireless and Wireline Telephones, Pagers, PCs and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are getting integrated in a unified network and in future their functions will merge.
|
The growth of Internet is driving the Networking business as never before, resulting in demand escalation for more bandwidth and telephone lines for improved access. Worldwide, privatization of Networking industry has taken strong roots and increased competitive activity is spearheading the demand for software intensive solutions to support ever-expanding customer requirements. New markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America are catching up in Telephone Density from 2 Lines per 100 to 50 lines per 100 population as commonly found in the developed world.
|
Changing market dynamics have also resulted in network vendor consolidation. Customers today expect to source most of their products and solutions from a single vendor, networking companies are acquiring each other or merging at an incredible rate. More important, the proliferation of new technologies is occurring faster than existing large vendors can handle, and time-to market pressures means that they are forced to acquire new product ranges rather than develop them in house.
The opportunities for a company such as MRO - TEK are being driven by key technology trends that are already having a major impact on the backbone service provider / telecom service provider / Internet Service Provider and Enterprise networking markets. These technology trends and their impact on the market segments are summarized in the following paragraphs.
|
Voice Over Data
Integration of networks and convergence of voice, video and data transmission is driving development of new products and services to cater to future customer demands. In addition, Internet is creating a host of new opportunities for companies. With the amount of traffic carried over the Internet is estimated to double every 100 days the total volume of data carried over the world's telecom infrastructure is likely to exceed that of voice in the next two years. As a result, telecom providers would be required to transform their infrastructure fundamentally from a circuit-switched networked designed to carry analog voice traffic and modified to carry data, to a packet-switched network designed and optimized for data that carries voice as just another data type.

Intensive competition and the high cost of laying fiber-optic and copper cables is forcing telecom companies in countries such as India to innovate and offer value-added services to their subscribers to retain market share. There is a need for these companies to migrate to new technologies and also enhance the capabilities of existing copper networks.

Next Generation Carriers
With deregulation taking effect the world over, key industry trends have emerged in the telecom carrier market. While Mergers and acquisitions have enabled service providers to achieve global scale and enter new markets, smaller, local operators such as cable, electric and wireless firms are expected to emerge as providers of niche services. These are also expected to partner companies having greater telecom expertise and become competitors to the super-carriers. MARKET SEGMENTS India, China, Asia, Africa, East & Latin America have relatively poor telephone density. These markets are beginning to accelerate the growth of Telecom services. India is considered as a typical representation of the emerging markets in the countries mentioned above. BACKBONE SERVICE PROVIDERS / TELECOM SERVICE PROVIDERS The Telecom industry in India comprises of Public and Private sector operators and supported by Backbone service providers. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) a Government of India undertaking, primarily operates the Basic Telecom network in India. DoT has made provision in its perspective plan for 1997-2007, to employ optical fiber technology in an extensive manner for the local, junction and long distance network.

The National Telecom Policy of 1999 (NTP '99) envisages that in urban areas, PCOs (Public Call Offices) should be provided for every 500 persons. As a rough estimate, the urban population is likely to reach 300 Million by the year 2007. To provide an urban PCO within easy reach of every person, it is envisaged that 0.6 Million urban PCOs would be added during 1997-2007. The total number of urban PCOs as on March 31st , 2007 is expected to reach 1 Million.
NTP '99 also plans to leverage the existing backbone network of public and private transmission companies such as BSES, Indian Railways, GAIL and ONGC for national long distance voice and data communication from January 1, 2000. This would include the setting up of Metropolitan Area Networks ( MAN) within metros and cities.
|
Private Basic Telephony Operators (BTO)
The prime beneficiaries of this policy are basic telephone and cellular operators. In the past the private operators had to pay huge license fees, which took up 60% of their fixed costs. In contrast, under the NTP '99 basic operators are asked to give 15% of their revenues to the Government, and multiple players in each circle are permitted. Rules for interconnection and 'last mile' operation have also been relaxed. As per NTP '99 BTOs are free to offer long distance services from January 15, 2000. BTOs can also provide in the service area, all types of services including voice, non-voice and data while utilizing any type of network equipment that meet ITU/TEC standards. In addition BTOs can establish 'last mile' linkages within the service area.
|
New investment opportunities are likely to exist in this sub-segment, as to date only six of India's 20 circles have been licensed. Demand is growing by between 17-20% per year and India's tele-density is estimated to grow from around 2 now to 4 by 2002 and 9 by 2007.

Cellular Operators
The industry is estimated to have grown by 12% to the tune of Rs 1,400 crore in 1998-99 as against Rs 1,250 in 1997-98. The raise in cellular rental is likely to substantially contribute to the revenues of operators this year and this may result in some metro operators reaching break-even. The subscriber base in circles will grow by 50 percent and is estimated is would increase the cellular penetration 15 lakh. Service providers are also expected to offer more value added services.

ISPs & INTERNET Following NTP '99 the DoT has taken the initiative to build the National Internet Backbone (NIB)--a national network for Internet nodes over the length and breadth of the country and to provide connectivity to ISPs. This would consist of an 8MBPS optical fibre trunk network, covering initially 100 cities and towns, and progressively upgradable. Under this initiative the department and authorised ISPs will open Internet access nodes at all district headquarters and local charging of the service is expected to begin by 26 January, 2000. In addition towns with a population greater than 2 lakhs have been targeted for providing broadband access using technology such as Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). ISDN allows data and voice to be transmitted simultaneously across the world using end-to-end digital connectivity. With Internet available over ISDN from VSNL and other ISPs like MTNL and Satyam, the expected growth of the ISDN lines is around 50,000.

National Internet Back bone |
|
Since the announcement of the ISP Policy in November 1998 about 10 ISPs including VSNL operate in the country. Current Internet subscriber base is estimated at over 300,000 . ISPs have already begun to feel the pinch of being dependent solely on VSNL for their gateway infrastructure, and at least four large ISPs want to put up their own gateways.
VSNL had 80 Mbps of trunk / gateway capacity spread across 42 locations (six with international connections) for Internet traffic by November 1998, and has plans to increase this to 300Mbps. It plans to cover 70 cities in a few months. Improvements in the network is likely to help the market to grow . About 60% of traffic is expected to be domestic when the market matures, as against 10% today. India also has relatively low bandwidth (upto 2MBPS) Internet trunk at present. Indian Railways and Power Grid Corporation are planning to set up optical fibre networks - so there may be many choices - besides DoT, MTNL and VSNL - for ISPs wanting to provide better transport links. The situation concerning ISPs and Internet usage is expected to improve drastically once the Government's IT Policy (including Cyber laws) is ratified by Parliament.

ENTERPRISE NETWORKING
The Internet is offering new architectural choices in design of corporate networking. As the Internet becomes faster and more dependable, the orientation towards integrating the Internet into corporate networking infrastructure is likely to accelerate. Enterprise Networking grew by 92% in 1998-99. At present it is believed to be the fastest growing segment of the communications business. The major segments within this industry include-
|
LAN Equipment: The LAN equipment market in India, which includes NICs, Hubs, Switches and Routers, stood at Rs. 3953 mm in 1998-99 and is estimated to cross Rs 5230 mm in 1999-2000. Amongst LAN product categories, the Routers market is set to witness the highest rate of growth of 53%, in terms of value, during the years 1997-98 to 2001-02. LAN Switches are expected to grow at 32% during the same period.
|
WAN traffic: Integrated service digital network (ISDN) is expected to be the major mode of connectivity in internetworking by 2003. Modes like frame relays, fibre optic cables are also expected to be used along with radio microwave links and X.25 links.
Wireless Net: With the advent of Private ISPs and increase in demand for broad bandwidth, the demand for wireless net is expected to increase in future. Virtual Private Networks: A VPN is a connection that has the appearance and many of the advantages of a dedicated link but occurs over a shared network. It is estimated that about 61 percent of Fortune 1000 companies are already looking at VPNs for business-to-business extranet links. Internet/Extranet implementation: It is estimated that about 50 per cent of the Indian organizations have a presence on the web in the form of web sites/pages. About a third of the organizations have developed and implemented an Intranet. More and more are expected to add to this list while organizations are expected to get e-commerce enabled.

Conclusion
The National Telecom Policy (NTP) -1999 has led to the liberalization of the telecom sector in India and market trends are expected to become clearer in 2000. While the DoT is expected to be the dominant player for some time to come other PSUs such as GAIL, Indian Railways, PGC and private organizations such as Reliance and Tatas are expected to invest in infrastructure as well. Both Private Telecom Operators and Cellular Operators are expected to expand and consolidate in the coming years. The growth in Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) is likely to slow but steady growth as service providers get inter-connected.
|
The growth in usage of Internet is bound to increase with the increased penetration of PCs and Cable networks. ISPs are expected to grow faster with the reduction in last mile access rates and the government's expected approval for Private Internet gateways . It is estimated that close to 640,000 subscribers are likely to be connected to the Internet by 1999-2000 - an increase by 164% over 1998-99.
The Enterprise networking segment is estimated to have grown at a faster rate when compared to the overall IT industry in India. While the traditional LAN segments consolidated their positions, the carrier market opened up new avenues of business for the vendors. The total market size for the year 1998-99 was estimated at Rs. 750 Crore. The coming year is expected to see an increase in Corporate WAN Deployment primarily due to sharp cuts in leased line rates and opening up of the Telecom sector. The growth in deployment of WANs is likely to lead to increase in the sales of products like WAN switches, routers, leased-line modems, and voice/data multiplexers. In fact, in 1999-2000 and the subsequent year, WAN products is expected to see one of the highest growths among all segments. Usage of VPNs and Wireless Networks are also expected increase steadily.

Discussion on Financials:
1. Revenue Growth in Revenues are largely attributable to growth in markets for existing products, additions of new marketing alliances and introduction of new range of products. Growth is also substantially due to growth in the Telecom and ISP segments. The incremental growth in the projected sales and revenues of the Company is based on the assumption that the Company will enjoy the benefits of increased productivity, expansion of business and the repeat business anticipated from its clients, for the quality of services that would be rendered to them and the substantial growth in the market segments in which the company operates. The experience and skills of the Company's professionals would further enable the Company to solicit larger projects, contributing substantially to the Company's revenues and profitability.
|
2. Operating Expenses:
Cost of Goods Sold as a % of Revenue (Manufactured and Traded Goods) ranged from 78.31% for the fiscal year ended 31.03.97 to 74.78% for the 12 months period ended 31.03.99. The product mix has resulted in the decrease of Cost of goods sold. The company believes that the overall margins would be steady or may reduce marginally owing to competetive pressures in the company's product lines. 3. Unusual or infrequent events or transactions: There has been no unusual or infrequent events or transactions in the Company. 4. Significant economic changes that materially affected or are likely to affect income from continuing operations: There have been no significant economic changes that materially affected or likely to affect Revenue from continuing operations.
|
5. Known trends or uncertainties that have had or are expected to have a material adverse impact on sales, revenue or income from continuing operations:
The Company has adopted the latest technologies available globally and sources these technologies on a regular and continuous basis. As such considering the trends uncertainties may not effect much of the operations of the Company and the resultant revenues. 6. Future changes in relationship between costs and revenues, in case events such as labour or material costs or prices that will cause a material change are known: Future variable cost as a percentage of Sales are not likely to register and adverse trend. However depreciation in the value of the Rupee could to some extent affect the relationship between costs and Revenues.
|
7. Total turn over of each major industry segment in which the Company operates
There is no organised data on the total turnover of the industry across all the segments in which the company operates. 8. Status of any publicly announced new products or new segment: The company has introduced various products since inception. Amongst the new products introduced by the company include ASM series for 64KBPS Bandwidth, HDSL products for 2MBPS Bandwidths, Wireless products for WAN and Lan connectivity, Dial up modems, ISDN products , Virtual Private Network systems, Network attached Storage units,, Internet Server appliances etc. The company would continue to add new products incorporating the latest technology in these segments. 9. The extent to which business is seasonal: The Business of the company is fully diversified across various segments and is not seasonal.
|
10. Any significant dependence on a single or few suppliers or customers
The company depends significantly on the ISP's like VSNL, MTNL, Satyam, Dishnet etc in the ISP segment. In other segments the companies clients are well diversified and the company does not have any significant dependence on few customers.. The company is dependent on its Technology and marketing partners for products in each segment of its product range. 11. Competitive Conditions The company is focussing on latest technologies and hence has significant advantages over competition. The company`s technology intensive products constitute niche markets for strategic applications. A detailed discussion is covered elsewhere in the prospectus under the head competition.
