LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK:

The company established several records during the year, notable ones being.

· Highest ever annual sale volume

· Highest ever annual sale revenue

· Highest ever annual profit after tax

Key Highlight of 2009-10 performance in comparison to 2008-09 were…

· Overall Sales tonnage increased by 25%

· Gross Sales revenue was up by 29%, riding on the volumes growth

· Total input costs were higher by 12% due to increased volumes and helped by reduction in prices of key raw materials like base Oil, whose effective unit procurement cost dropped by 30%.

· Employees costs were higher by 36% mainly due to changes made in working assumptions to calculate value of compensated absence and Gratuity,

· Other expenses escalated by 23% due to higher repair costs associates with increased utilization of plant and equipments.

· Financing costs were down by 73% due to improved cash realization from operations and favorable working capital changes.

· Depreciation charge was higher by 18% reflecting the increased capital spending.

The company effect of all the above development resulted in the company clocking its best performance ever.

The company has drawn up plans to sustain the growth in volumes and profitability achieved during the completed year.

MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES

Process plants were stretched to meet the increased demand leading to frequent equipment breakdowns. Record production of components and finished products were achieved during the year. Power restrictions imposed by the Tamilnadu Electricity Board continue and are managed by purchase of a high capacity DG set.

The supply situation of raw materials continues to be tight and was the main reason for the low year-end inventory level in spite of higher level of operation.

A project to manufacture an anti-oxidant was successfully implemented.

MARKETING ACTIVITIES

There was an economic recovery in India during 2009-10 post the slowdown that occurred during the later part of 2008-09. Consequently, there was an all round growth across industries. Automobile industry too recorded substantial growth in sales compared to the previous year, Leading to an overall growth in sales volume for major segments in the domestic market. There were also export opportunities which further contributed to the volume growth. The Company benefited from all these developments and posted the highest ever annual sales tonnage and revenue.

The Indian Rupee appreciated by nearly 11% over 2009-10 after the sharp depreciation seen over 2008-09. This lead to lower sale price realization for globally negotiated USD based businesses. Competition too incaresed from overseas suppliers an d pricing was under pressure. Owing to the rising trend of input and products costs, sale prices were increased for customers in the second half, wherever contracts allowed.

A Customer Seminar was conducted at Goa between 8th and 10th December, It was well participated by- Lubricant Industry.
