PERFORMANCE:  
 
The net turnover of the Company increased by 7% to Rs. 658.700 Millions from Rs.615.600 Millions in the previous year. The company's focus towards OEM business and the resultant investment in Fixed Assets and Technology have now started yielding results with high volume manufacturing. 

 
Despite an increase in the company's turnover, operating margins remain under Pressure, primarily on account of major cost escalations in Raw Materials and other input costs, that could not be passed on to the customers, due to competitive market conditions. Higher than normal expenses necessitated on account of the company's focus on OEM business, was an additional causative factor impacting on profitability. 

 
As reported in the earlier years, the company's Ghatkopar unit became unviable due to high operating costs, poor worker productivity and lower price realisations due to highly competitive market conditions. The management, having exhausted all avenues of resurrecting viable operations at the Ghatkopar plant, was left with no alternative, but to close this unit. Accordingly, pursuant to the settlement with the Worker's Union in November 2006, ratified by the Honourable Mumbai.  High Court, the company's Ghatkopar Plant was closed, effective 3rd August 2006. All Workmen were separated under the company's Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). The terminal benefits payable to these Workmen have been accounted as per the Accounting Policy consistently followed by the company. 


During the year, a new manufacturing facility to produce Asbestos Free Heavy Commercial Vehicle and Passenger Car Brake Linings was set up at the company's Paithan Plant, resulting in additional turnover from this unit, The Plant now manufactures the entire range of Asbestos-Free Heavy duty Commercial Vehicle and Passenger Car Brake Linings, Dis Brake Pads, Roll Linings and Railway Brake Blocks. 

 
The performance of the Bhandara Plant was generally satisfactory with increased production of Industrial Braze Linings. 


The working of the Jalna Plant, although improved, the profitability remained under pressure due to major escalation in input costs and price realisation not commensurate with manufacturing cost increase. 
 
Although, the overall position in the current year remains competitive, the company hopes to post better results in the coming years, with major investments being undertaken for capacity expansion and technology upgradation. The Company will continue to provide a major thrust towards growth in the OEM business with a focus on R & D. 


The Company has revalued all its Residential Premises as on 31.03.2007 on their fair market value, using standard indices as assessed and valuation reports submitted by approved valuers. This has resulted in a net increase in the book value by Rs.165.600 Millions, which has been transferred to Revaluation Reserve. 


The company participated at the Automechanika Fair Frankfurt in September 2006, thus increasing its exposure to new products and markets globally. 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSES REPORT:

 
OVERALL REVIEW: 

Indian economy continues to grow during 2006 - 2007. The manufacturing sector in general and the auto/auto component segment in particular, has been witnessing a phenomenal demand. However cost increases in essential raw materials are causing pressures on margins. 

 

 
PRODUCTION RANGE: 

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of fibre based composite materials, consisting of Friction and Sealing products. Friction Materials include Brake Liners, Roll Linings, Clutch Facings, Disc Brake Pads used in Heavy and Light Trucks, Motor Cars, 2/3 wheelers, of the roadvehicles, Construction & Mining equipment. Composition Brake Blocks are used in Railways. Sealing materials include Jointings, Textile and Insulation Board used in automobiles and various industries. 


OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS: 

With positive economic environment, the Company has positioned itself for a major growth. Technologies and focus on OEM business continue to be a driving force for the Company. Several new products in Asbestosfree segment have been developed at its technology centre. However, with too many small players in the Indian Market, more particular in small scale sector, prices have been under constant pressure resulting in lower realization. This threat is being overcome by constant product upgradation, cost reduction, value engineering and finding new markets both locally and globally. 

 
BUSINESS OUTLOOK: 

With the buoyancy in the auto component segment, increase in marketing activity, cost rationalization measures, improvement in quality and introduction of new products, the Company is hopeful of achieving better results in the coming years with continuous investment in modern equipments and process technology and focus on R & D.
