SECURED LOAN:

A) Term Loans from Financial Institutions are secured by first mortgage ranking pari-passu of all the immovable properties both present and future and a first charge by way of hypothecation of all the movables (save & except book debts) including movable machinery, spares, tools & accessories, present & future subject to prior charge to be created in favour of the company's bankers on the stock of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, consumable stock and such movables as may be agreed by the lead institution for securing the working capital requirements.

 

B) Lenders have at their option a right to convert the 20% of outstanding amount into fully paid equity shares, in the event of default by the Company in payment of principal and / or interest.

 

C) ICICI Bank Ltd (ICICI), who was the lead institution, has filed a Winding-up petition in Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh on 08.10.2004, which is still pending. However, the possibility of the Company being wounded-up appears to be remote. In the meanwhile ICICI has assigned its Debts to Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. (KMBL) and the same has been objected by the Company Pending the aforesaid petition, in a joint meeting dated 19th June 2006 calle.d by IDBI, the Company's representatives met the representatives of all the Financial Institutions/Banks, for settlement of the outstanding Secured Loans. The Financial Institutions/Banks proposed for a settlement at the principal amount of Rs. 77.200 Millions. The Company, however, expressed its desire for a One Time Settlement

(OTS) as per the parameters and norms of the NPA guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which are mandatory to all Financial Institutions/Banks. The total dues which would be payable to the Financial Institutions/Banks under the NPA Guidelines works out Rs. 0.262 Millions, after adjusting Rs. 1101.887 Millions already paid by the Company to the consortiun of the financial Institutions / Banks till 28.10.2005. The Company also filed a petition in the Hon'ble Court for directing the Financial Institutions/

Bank to accept the said amount of Rs. 2.621 Millions and the same is pending.

 

In the meanwhile, KMBL filed a recovery suit in the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Delhi which is pending in the DRT Court.

 

In view of the above, write back/provisions of interest & other charges on Secured Loans in the Accounts, of amount being unascertainable, will be made as and when the matters are finally settled.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW 

The Company is a leading manufacturer of Auto Suspension Springs and is one of the leading market players in springs for other Industrial Application. Business from the Auto Suspension Springs accounted for more than 67% of the turnover. With most of the economic indicators of the Country recording a growth of 9.5% during 200607, and low interest rates fuelled increased demand. The Automotive Industry witnessed significant growth from 8.5% for the previous year 2005-06 to 22%. Amidst this situation, although the Company's sales grew by 13%, the growth in Auto Components sector has only been 18%. 

The Company, with its record performance of 2.16 million Heavy Coil Springs, now contributes to approx. 40% of the 3 & 4-wheeler Vehicles springs sales. 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT 

The passenger vehicle Industry saw a significant growth from the previous year because of a combination of good economic growth and the Government's initiatives In the area of road Infrastructure. And with the low Interest rates, the Industry grew by more than 20% for the current year in comparison to 7.5% for the year 2005-06. Similarly, the growth rate of the commercial vehicle Industry also saw a significant growth to more than 32% from 4.5% for the previous year, This appreciable increase was also partly attributed to the Supreme Counts ruling on vehicle overloading practices. 

The requirement for the Door Checker Hinges Springs In Canada and UK, to whom the Company exports springs, has grown significantly during the current year. Although the requirement of the springs is In huge numbers, the Company has been able to marginally Increase Its supplies (approx. 17 million springs for the year 2008-07) to about 40% of the required demand of this one Customer. 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

a) Existing Products: 

The Company has a strong presence In the Mini & Compact Passenger Cars segment as Its main customer, Maruti Udyog Ltd., has 5 models in this segment with those compared to competition. Moreover, there was a significant growth of more than 25% in the Compact segment, which also contributes to very high volumes, Due to this reason, the Company has a market share of approx., 37% in the Auto Suspension Springs market in India. Growth in the Mid-size / Executive and Premium / Luxury Passenger Cars segments continue to be about 12%, but the total volumes were not so high, so the Company with its growth of 13% continued to maintain the above market share. 

Although the growth In the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles segment increased by over 36.0%, the Company faced a negative growth of -4.0% thereby reducing Its Market share to less than 60%. The main reason for the drop in the Market share was because of supplies coming in from China. 

The Company Is In the process of further ramping up Its coiling, grinding and prestressing Capacity to enable a substantial growth In Its Export Sales In the coming years and Increase Its Market Share from the present 40%. 

b) New Product Development: 

The Company Is In the process of developing Progressive Suspension Springs for new vehicles under development by Tata Motors Ltd. 

The existing Product Range of Springs up to 14.5 mm wire diameter for Auto Suspension as well as for other Applications was limiting the Company In increasing its Market share, The Company is developing a new process for manufacturing springs using higher wire diameter beyond its existing range. 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW 

Currently the rising Interest rates have affected the overall growth in the Automotive Industry. As per current indications, the growth may sloe down to 10-15% for the year 2007-08. However, the market share of MUL, the Company's main customer is increasing. As such the Company can expect a growth of around 15-20% in the Auto Suspension Springs business due to ramping up of its capacity for Heavy Coil Springs. 

Growth in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle segment is expected to be negative as the growth is expected to be significant in the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). As a significant growth in supplies from China is expected, the Company could face further negative growth of -20% to -25% in this segment. As such, the Company would have to re-strategize and develop other market opportunities. 

With the re-organisation of its processing systems, the Company has been able to increase its Export Sales to Canada and UK for the Door Checker Hinge Springs. As the demand is ever increasing, the Company has expanded its Capacity and expects to increase its Export Sales substantially in the coming years. 

OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS 

With Maniti Udyog Ltd., the Company's main customer, launching new / modified cars, especially in those segments where the Company has a good share of business, it is expected that these will contribute significantly to the Company's growth. 

However, with negative growth in the Mini Segment, the Company's growth could decline a bit. 
Threat from China and the negative growth in the Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles would substantially affect the growth of the Company's Sales in this segment. 

As the Company has only been able to cater to less than 40% of one Customer's requirements for Exports to Canada and UK, there is still ample opportunity for a strong growth in this segment. If the Company is not able to increase its capacity to cater to the increasing requirement by the customer, there could be a major threat by the Customer developing other suppliers, mainly from China.
