 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE 
 
 The  Company's sales have been consistently growing at a rate better than the growth of the bearing industry in India. For the year 2005, The Company has had a sales growth of 26% (2004: 21%). It was mainly in the imported bearings and Exports. OEM, Aftermarket and Railways recorded a reasonable growth. Exports of the Company were Rs.720.1 million (2004: Rs. 424.7 million). 
 
 Gross Operating Profit increased by 42.2% (2004: 19.7%). Profit Before Tax (PBT) was higher by 58.4% (2004: 40.1%) and Profit After Tax (PAT) was higher by 55.1% (2004: 33.3%). 
 
 The intense competitive pressure on prices and margins continued this year also. The Company continued its emphasis on the Aftermarket, imported bearings business and focussed product mix planning. The production of bearings went up by 18.5% over the last year (2004: 6.4%). 
 
 During the year the Company was audited for recertification as per ISO/TS 16949 by TUV-Sued and assessed for compliance to the newly issued 'Schaeffler Management Handbook' by Schaeffler Group. There was also a certification audit by M/s. INTECHNICA, Germany for assessing compliance to ISO 14001. All the audits were successful. In addition, Company has implemented important environment and safety related measures like 'Rain Water Harvesting', installation of 'Leak Detection Systems' for hazardous gas storage, etc.

 Directors recommend for your approval dividend for the year ended December 31, 2005 at the rate of Rs. 3.50 (2004: Rs. 3.50) per equity share amounting to Rs. 58.2 million (2004: Rs 58.2 million). 
 
 The Company will pay the income tax on dividend as per the provisions of the Income-Tax Act. 
 
 FINANCE 
 
 During the year, with tight controls on inventories and receivables and effective financial management, the capital employed was utilized judiciously. No long term loan was taken and credit facilities from the banks for working capital were sparingly utilized at the minimum cost which resulted into positive net interest income. 
 
 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
 
 (a) Industry structure and developments 
 
 Indian Bearing market size is estimated at Rs. 32 billion. Approximately one third of this demand is met through imports and the balance is met through indigenous products. The sales of the organised bearing industry in India are estimated at Rs. 19.0 billion. The bearing industry experienced a significant growth of 16 to 17% during the year 2005. FAG India sales during the year 2005 shot up by 26% much higher than the growth in the industry. FAG India's share in the total market is around 14%. 
 
 The fortunes of the bearing industry in India are linked to the growth of the automotive industry. Based on declared sales 2005 was consecutively a good year for the automotive industry; the growth is estimated at over 14%. The Passenger Cars including Utility Vehicles sales were not too impressive registering a growth of approx. 6%. The overall growth in commercial vehicle industry is estimated to remain at a healthy 13%. The sales growth of two wheeler industries especially motorcycle, (which had been growing at a faster pace for the past few years) stabilized at around 15%. The tractor industry that faced one of the worst years in recent times is clearly on a revival path. The demand from Railways - another important market segment - remained flat during the year. 
 
 OEM industries, such as two-wheeler, are facing price competition in their own markets and continue to exert price pressure on the local bearing suppliers. In face of the accelerated demand from the automotive industry and other sectors like steel, power & heavy engineering due to general economic revival, the market environment is quite favorable for the bearing industry. 
 
 
(b) Opportunities and threats 
 
 Indian economy seems to grow at 7 to 7.5% supported by a smart growth in manufacturing and services sectors. Demand outlook for the year 2006 is quite positive. 
 
 The industry has to be on guard against the menace of counterfeit (i.e. spurious bearings) which has increased over the last few years, in spite of serious efforts to check it.
