LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS REVIEW:

 

The year was a buoyant year, recovering from the down turn in the previous year to a large extent. The Automobile industry and engineering industry in general are recording excellent growth which has assisted the company to register higher turnover and profits during the year.

 

On the support of the parent Company, the exports registered an increase of about 10% as compared to previous year. Export turnover includes the compensation received from Parent Company towards the under utilisation of plant capacity amounting to Rs.40.800 millions (Previous year Rs.68.800 millions)

 

The increase in turnover coupled with the cost saving measures adopted by the management has resulted into the Company registering net profit of Rs.42.000 millions as against loss of Rs.22.000 millions for the previous year. –

 

The management believes that the Company needs to augment its production capacity to meet the projected global demand of its products. Accordingly, the Company continued with its expansion during the year and an amount Rs.72.500 millions was invested in plant and machinery.

 

The Company started trial production of mono-block adapters in its EQU unit during the year.

 

Further, considering the cost-benefit analysis, it is found advisable that the present DTA operations of the Company be converted into an Export Oriented Unit, Suitable steps would be initiated in due course.

 

The Directors feel that, in the given circumstances, the overall performance of the Company is satisfactory.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

All the domestic economic indices have shown a positive and encouraging trend after September 2009. This trend is expected to continue for a few more years. However, the recovery in the European market is still not very encouraging. Since major capacity would be used for exports, its utilisation would solely depend on the recovery and growth in the European market. The Company is any way committed to control its costs.

 

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

 

Particulars

31.03.2010

(Rs. in millions)

The Company had imported certain machinery and goods under Advance License Scheme. Under the aforesaid scheme, the Company was required to fulfill certain export obligations. The Company is not able to locate certain records relating to these transactions, in absence of which, the liability on account of non fulfillment of export obligations, is presently not ascertainable by the Company.

Not

ascertainable

Short Payment of duty on reimport of goods exported by wrong availment of Cenvat Credit

c. Demand order for Stamp Duty on the Scheme of arrangement

11.829

d. ABN Amro Bank - First Loss Deficiency Guarantee

(FLDG) for Overdraft facility for Dealers of the

Company

e. Income Tax matter in appeal

f. The Company had imported certain Plant and Machinery at reduced customs duty under the Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme. Under the scheme, the Company is obliged to export goods aggregating USD 3,466,984 (Previous Year USD 6,087,291) which is equivalent to eight times of the value of the custom duty saved on the machinery imported.

 

Given that the amount of customs duty and interest and penalty payable for non fulfillment of the export obligation is dependent on the exports to be made by the Company till February, 11, 2017, as at date, the liability, if any, which may eventually arise, cannot be ascertained.
