I. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & OPPORTUNITIESAfter witnessing consistent growth in the previous five years, our Country could achieve a growth of 7.5% against a projection of 8.5%. Global real GDP growth also slowed down at 3.7% compared to 4.9% year before. Current year Economy is expected to grow @ 8.1%, however due to inflationary pressure, it could slide to 7.0 to 7.50%. Automotive Industry, a prominent segment of the national economy was also affected and had to face flat growth during the 2nd half of the year. Hardening of interest rates coupled with higher inflationary pressures and industrial slowdown affected the input costs and availability of essential raw materials very adversely resulting in both bottom and top lines in the Automotive industry. However, on global platform, key Indian Automotive Companies continued the momentum in mergers & acquisitions. Joint Ventures by foreign companies with Indian counterparts and opening of IPO’s by MNC’s, would help the Industry to take lead in years ahead. Some of the products launched by Indian Companies have created new segments of competition in the Industry, giving a good preface and foundation to achieve the notified 10 year “Automotive Mission Plan” targeted to make Indian Automotive Industry as a global Hub for small Cars and a favourite destination for sourcing of components.

Ancillary and Allied industries supporting and depending on Automotive Industry are contributing substantially to the higher economic growth. Automotive Industry witnessed marginal growth across all segments especially in the heavy vehicle segment, the thrust sector for the Company.

[Source – ACMA]During the later part of the year, Automobile, Heavy Duty Commercial Vehicle and Motor Cycle Industries witnessed demand recession leading to dislocation in the growth of these sectors. The overall demand in commercial vehicle industry dropped by 0.8% during 2007-08 as against growth of 25.3% in the previous year. Other segments viz. three wheelers, tractors and LCV’s showed marginal growth in 2007-08. The year continued with the sustained spending

on infrastructure by Govt. of India, downtrend in the growth platform is a part of general economic cycle. Clutch Auto is catering to three sectors viz. OEM, Replacement Market and Exports. The Company was able to make good the shortfall in OEM sales by supplying to aftermarket segment. At Exports front, Clutch Auto has made long term commitments to OEMs’ in Commercial Vehicle & Tractor segments including a Co-Manufacturing Agreement with a MNC Clutch Manufacturer.

II. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANYClutch Auto has maintained a constant growth rate snapshot as under:

There was downfall in Company’s financial performance during this Financial Year due to slowdown in heavy-duty segment, coupled with sharp increase in the raw material prices and increase in administrative costs. The Company has struggled to maintain margins, mainly by cost reduction and improvement of internal efficiencies. Turnover, net of excise duties, at Rs. 216.98 Cr. vs. Rs. 235.07 Cr. in 2006-07 was lower by 7.7% due to sluggish demand both in Indian heavy duty segment and as deliberate withdrawal from the US market for a short duration. Raw Material consumption i.e. to Rs. 134.96 Cr (62.20%) in 2007-08 was Rs. 143.38 Cr (60.99%) in 2006-07. This was largely a result of unchecked high steel & Pig Iron prices during the last two quarters of the year. However, the Company has continued its VA & VE exercises as part of an on going cost reduction program and initiated global sourcing of key inputs at lower costs, maintaining stringent Quality norms as per customer needs. Major initiatives have been taken towards vendor rationalization and value engineering during the year.Employee Cost increased to Rs. 18.86 Cr. (8.69%) from Rs. 15.80 Cr. (6.72%) last year due to inflation and other employee welfare initiatives taken during the year. The Company maintained the number of employees at its previous year’s level. However, increase in productivity of the employees was neutralized by the decrease in turnover.

Current Liabilities of the Company increased at Rs. 47.24 Cr. in 2007-08 from Rs.40.61 Cr. in 2006-07.

III. SWOT ANALYSIS1. Initiatives taken during last couple of years give a long term edge to CAL in the Industry. Its selection by CSIR in association with distinguished Research Laboratories viz. International Advance Research Center (ARCI), Hyderabad; Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI), Kolkata; National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune and IIT-Delhi has opened linkages between the Company and the Research Establishments and industry leaders to develop new technologies with long term ramifications in the Clutch Industry. 2. Opportunities offered currently by leading passenger car and automotive manufacturers have opened up windows, which were so far denied to the Company has a self im-posed strategy, concentration have been on the commercial vehicle segment. 3. Steps taken during the last one year for increasing the Foundry capacity will supplement Company’s efforts to tap new opportunities in the years to come.

4. Engineering base created with the support of the Foreign Consultants and In-house development have given opportunities with the domestic truck manufacturers for a product to product technology which can offer opportunity and more extended life to the clutches.5. OEM’s target to have total control on the Aftermarket can significantly impact company’s Replacement Market operations. Competition from Chinese low cost manufacturers can be a threat to Company’s business in some segments. 6. Vertical integration exercises give a long term edge to the Company as a preferred low cost supplier in international market.7. Timely assistance from International Bankers is likely to help establish need based capacities and test capabilities to meet the Company’s International multifarious opportunities.

IV. TECHNOLOGY1. 77 new items launched during 9th International Auto Expo, 2008 (New Delhi) have opened up new vistas / opportunities with an edge in such segments where the Company has not pursued business opportunities.2. A new product “Self Adjusting Clutch” introduced in the US market has been extensively tested and proven its performance in field operations. 3. New proposals under consideration with leading Truck Manufacturers giving options of additional service life and cost reduction have given valuable opportunities for long term business. 4. Following comments from a leading International Truck Manufacturer are encouraging:“Clutches are critical components and the performance of our components is a key priority.”“Partnering with Clutch Auto will allow us to better manage performance and quality to deliver differentiation and value to our customers. Clutch Auto will help us deliver innovation in clutch design not available elsewhere.”5. New concept “Traceability Till Death” (TTD), currently under implementation, is going to have long term ramifications. 6.Fresh look at existing designs ab initio has resulted in development of Hi-Life & Extra Life Clutches, specialized CA City and universal Clutches which are giving a performance edge to the Company in the domestic market.7. Two leading truck manufacturers have already accepted Cushion Organic Clutches as standard fitment for Commercial Vehicles.

Page 37: Late Sh. K. S. Bhatnagar, Retired · PDF fileKarol Bagh, New Delhi – 110 005 BANKERS: ... as a part of the Annual Report along with the Practicing Company Secretary’s Certificate

34

Accounting Standard 26 (AS-26) on Intangible Assets, considers that the expenditure incurred are in the nature of self generated technical know-how and product development. As a result, the Company has been able to obtain patents for few designs in India and USA; and has applied for more in and outside India. The loan sanctioned by Ministry of Science and Technology (CSIR) under NMITLI scheme are specifically intended for meeting the aforesaid expenses. Such expenses have been reviewed by technical experts, who have confirmed that the expenses relate to product development. Consequently, the Company considers that the expenses qualify to be treated as “Intangible Assets” as envisaged in AS-26. It is expected that use of the intangible assets would generate economic benefits in future for the company. Estimated expense forming part of the Intangible Assets to be capitalized during the current year is Rs.189.70 lacs.
