RECOMMENDATION OF DIVIDEND

MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS IF ANY, AFFECTING FINANCIAL POSITION

For last few years, the Company is going through a tough times. The demand from two wheeler manufacturers has not been doing well. Coupled with some IR issues and increasing fixed costs, the Board, in its meeting held on 21st March, 2018 had decided to close its Manesar Plant. Considering healthy demand from other customers, these events may not affect the overall financial position of the Company significantly. In opinion of the Board, there have been no material changes and commitments affecting the financial position of the Company which have occurred between the end of the financial year to which the financial statements relate and the date of this Report.

CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF BUSINESS

During the year under review, there has been no change in the nature of business of the Company. The main business activity of the Company primarily continues to be manufacturing and supply of sheet metal components. The Company is continuously exploring the possibility of venturing into new business areas to minimize its business risks. Indian Railways has been one of the main growth drivers in recent times so it was proposed to venture into new products in this area.

STATE OF THE COMPANY’S AFFAIRS, OPERATIONS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

During the financial year 2017-18, the total revenue of the Company was Rs. 1220.03 Crores as compared to total revenue of Rs. 1186.96 Crores (as per IND-AS) during the previous financial year, thus resulting a marginal growth over previous year. Profit before tax for the year under review was Rs. 0.57 Crore as against loss of Rs. 3.79 Crore (as per IND-AS), in the previous financial year.

Financial year 2017-18 was a challenging year for the Company. The demand from 2W manufacturers was not upto the expectation. Increasing fixed costs impacted the business of the Company adversely. However, during the year under review, demand from commercial vehicle manufacturers and Indian Railways witnessed a very good growth and poised to grow further in coming years.

Due to cost rationalization, the Company has taken many consolidation activities in the recent past. The management has also realigned its focus in new areas. As stated earlier, demand from 2W manufacturers was subdued. The management is working on to increase its customer base & product portfolio for Indian Railways, passenger car manufacturers and CV manufacturers. Recently, the Board has, in principle, approved capacity expansion for Indian Railways.

For further details, Shareholders may refer to Management Discussion and Analysis and Corporate Governance Report that forms part of this Report.

OPERATIONS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANY

The Net sales and other Income of the Company for the year under review has increased to Rs. 875.58 Cr. as compared to Rs. 834.35 Cr. in the previous financial year. This increase is

due to overall growth in domestic market and management initiative of diversification of companys business.

Despite the fact that total outstanding loans have increased, interest cost has reduced by Rs. 10.07 Cr. from Rs.42.39 Cr to Rs.32.32 Cr. This was primarily on account of reduction in interest rates and the Companys continuous efforts to minimize its overall working capital costs and optimal fund utilization.

The profit before exceptional income in the year under review is Rs. 16.37 Cr. in comparison to Rs. 9.02 Cr. recorded last year primarily driven by reduced interest costs. The Net Profit After Tax for the year 2009-10 has increased to Rs. 14.31 Cr. as compared to Rs. 5.42 Cr. in corresponding year, which includes an exceptional income of 4.07 Cr. from sale of land.

However, for the next financial year, management is very confident that your company will touch the INR 10 Billion mark, by achieving a turnover of Rs. 1000 Crores. This is possible due to forecasted boom in auto sector, full scale commercial production at Lucknow plant and diversification decision for getting into Home Furnishing and Railways. Further, we expect reduction in power cost due to successful installation of 100 kWp rooftop solar plants as well as Gas based Power Generators at Dharuhera & Manesar unit respectively. All these factors in turn will lead to improvement of the profitability of your company.

Two Wheelers

During the year 2009-10, this sector registered a growth of 25% from 84.41 Lacs vehicles to 105.11 Lacs vehicles. The companys major customer M/s. Hero Honda Motors Limited was the front runner in terms of sale in two wheeler segment.

For Omax Autos, this segment contributed net sales of Rs. 658.18 Crores during the year. Your Company is confident that the two wheeler segment, led by Hero Honda Motors will continue to witness growth in volumes and being a major supplier, your Company would be able to participate in this growth.

Commercial Vehicles

In Auto Sector, Commercial vehicle segment recorded a growth of 35% during 2009-10 i.e. from 4.27 Lacs to 5.76 Lacs vehicles. Medium & heavy commercial segment faced 40% downturn during 2008-09 but has now started to grow again with robust economy, industry and infrastructure growth.

During the year under review, the Companys Lucknow Plant had started its commercial production in September 2009. The Plant has been set up with an initial investment of Rs. 42 Crores and is engaged in the manufacture of chassis for Light & Heavy Commercial Vehicles for Tata Motors Limited.

The net sales under this segment was Rs. 8.26 Crores during the year 2009-10. Your Directors expect the commercial vehicle

market to grow further at a good pace. Omax is making continuous efforts to establish contacts with other commercial vehicle manufacturers for new business and expanding the product portfolio. With first full year operations, your company is expected to post a decent growth in this segment during 2010-11.

Automax is market leader in piston rod manufacturing, and secured orders to organically grow with International Tractors Limited (ITL) and New Holland Tractors.

Diversification

Your Company has made efforts towards diversifying the product portfolio and exploring the opportunity in various fields including the Home Furnishing and Railways. The strategy is to utilize the existing infrastructure and resources, thereby increasing the overall efficiencies of the plants. Nevertheless, wherever required, new equipments are also being added to complement the existing set up and to meet the enhanced requirements of its prestigious customers.

The Home Furnishing business of the company is divided into two parts viz. Stainless Steel Business and Carbon Steel Business.

Presently the Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel made Home Furnishing Products are being manufactured at plants located at Bawal and Dharuhera.

In this segment, total Sales of your company grew by Rs. 45.72 Crores from Rs. 24.42 Crores in 2008 -2009 to 70.14 Crores in 2009-2010.

In the year 2010-2011 this business is expected to grow with the launch of another new product "Stainless Steel Cookware" in high end range, to benefit from the existing opportunity in this business segment.

(B) Railway Business: Your Company has set up a new plant at Gurgaon for manufacture and supply of components for Railways and has commenced supplies to Indian Railways on tender basis.
