ANNUAL REPORT 12-13
Based on the experience of last three years of operation,UM School Trust has now decided to change its business model from
running affordable low cost school to running high end schools (with air conditioned classrooms, Buses, state of the art
laboratories and extracurricular activities). While reviewing the performance of school management business for last 3 years
(PAT Year 2012-13 ̀ 4.17 lakhs; PAT Year 2011-12 ̀ 3.87 lakhs; PAT Year 2010-11 ̀ 2.43 lakhs), the Board of Directors’ of UMEPL
feels that school business management requires considerable upfront capital Investments with returns coming over an extended
period of time and the existing resources available with the Company cannot support such required investments. As such the
management of UMEPL thought it appropriate to change its business model to licensing and consultancy and sell of its school
management business ‘as a going concern’. The sale is proposed to be done to a related party on such consideration as the
Board of Directors of UMEPL may deem appropriate arrived at on the basis of independent valuation undertaken by a firm of

to give effect to such sale of undertaking.

Industry Overview:
[Sources: Ministry of Human Resource Development: www.education.nic.in; Company internal research; Industry research reports by various agencies
like CARE, Salvus Capital etc]
Education is the key to unlocking and building lasting value in a robust economy. For any country to grow and prosper, a well-positioned educated population is the fundamental requirement to meet the demands of an increasingly global economy andproductive value creation. India has amongst the largest student population in the world and a low literacy level of 74.04%(2011). According to census 2011 figures, over 35.3% of the 1.21 billion people are between the age group 0-14 years.Additionally, there is shortage of employable manpower in various industry segments. In order to meet this existing andemergent demand, there is huge need of investments in the Indian education sector. Currently, education is primarily handled bythe government through its infrastructure and budget outlays. But given the small budget outlays and complex regulatorystructure, supply of equal education to all sectors is lagging far behind the demand of education.
The country’s literacy rate has improved from 64.8% during 2001 to 74% as per the Census 2011. With the growing penetrationof educational segments such as Pre-school, Information & Communication Technology (ICT) in schools etc, the market size of theIndian Education industry aggregated ` 3.46 lakh crore during FY12. Importantly, over the years, the role of private sector ineducation has increased with the setting-up of institutes. Even, the Government has emphasised on Public Private Partnership(PPP) in education so as to expand the reach and provide quality education to students in small towns & villages. This presentsa vast opportunity for private players in the education sector.
Company Outlook & Strategy
In continuation of its endeavor in becoming one of the most prominent quality service provider to the education sector of India,your Company has increased its emphasis on supporting setting up the Usha Martin University at Jharkhand, at the earliest.
As you are aware that the Company’s strategy for growth of training centers using infrastructure partner model has beensuccessful over the year and hence the Company wishes to focus on increasing profitability at all its partner and owned centers.Your Company is also exploring the possibilities of entering into online education segment which is expected to grow at a rapidpace.
Business Review
Learning Business Segment
As was depicted in the Business review in the earlier years, the Company has shifted its major focus on the undergraduatecourses.During the current year under review, your Company has successfully trained and provided placement assistanceto over 80% of the under-graduate students enrolled in its various study centers.
However, due to comparative higher cost of delivery for undergraduate courses, margins have declined.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe downward trend in the Indian Economy continued further during the year under review resulting in reduced employment
ratio. The impact is obviously more on the students having higher technical and management education. Following this trend the
in-take of post graduate students has been further lowered this year. The emphasis on undergraduate courses has been strengthened
with a focus to make this our primary business.
On a Y-o-Y basis, Revenues decreased by 7.09.% whereas Profit after-tax fell by 14.15%. Several key ratios are mentioned below:

The wholly owned subsidiary of your Company, Usha Martin Education Private Limited (“UMEPL”) is engaged in providingallied services to the schools originally set up under a trust by the name ‘Usha Martin School’ and currently functioning atvarious locations of West Bengal and Bihar. UMEPL also registered and/or applied for registration of brand names under itsumbrella for using those in school related services. However, as was stated in the Directors’ Report, UMEPL has decided to sellits business to another company, only retaining the brands registered and/or applied for registration in its name.
Opportunities and threats
Indian Government’s positive thrust on education, allocation of higher budgetary amount for the education sector and increasedfocus on capacity building presents a unique opportunity for growth of education business. Since majority of the Indian Statesare still not properly equipped to provide sufficient higher education to all the prospective students of the country, there is anopportunity for the private sector to act as a major catalyst in the system.
However, at the same time the global recessionary situation reduces the employment opportunity throughout the World. Thistrend is expected to continue for some times in the future also. A major aspect of higher education is the ability to be employmentready at the earliest. Hence there is always a chance factor in growth of the business of your Company which is majorlydependent on employment scenario.
Further there are normal risk factors of the Governmental policies which pose a deterrent to entry of private players in educationbusiness.
Adequacy of Internal Controls
Company is equipped with a proper and adequate system of internal controls for maintaining proper accounting cost controland efficiency in operation. Company has developed documented procedures and various methods as follows :-
Proper delegation of power to de-centralised the whole operation for making it more dynamic.

Financial control and approval based on budget allocation.
The Company also has adequate system to ensure that all of its assets are safeguarded and protected against loss fromunauthorized use or disposition, and transactions are authorized, recorded, and reported correctly. The internal control systemis supplemented by internal audits, review by management, documented policies and procedures.
