By order of the Board For BHANSALI ENGINEERING POLYMERS LIMITED Place: Mumbai Dated: 24th June 2006 B. M. Bhansali Managing Director REGISTERED OFFICE: Bhansali House, A-5, Veera Desai Road, Andheri (West), Mumbai- 400 053. 5 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Dear Members, Your Directors take pleasure in presenting the Twenty Second Annual Report and the Audited Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2006. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PERIOD : The figures for the year ended on 31st March 2006 are not comparable with the figures of the previous period of nine months ended on 31st March 2005. FINANCIAL RESULTS : Current Previous Accounting Accounting Year ended Period ended 31.03.2006 31.03.2005 (12 months) (9 months) (Rs.in lacs) (Rs.in lacs) 30655.49 17551.76 —————— —————— Profit before interest, tax and depreciation 3407.96 2218.66 Profit before tax 1546.71 1228.76 946.51 967.23 1605.34 827.29 —————— —————— 2551.85 1794.52 —————— —————— 189.18 189.18 2362.67 1605.34 Sales Profit after tax Balance brought forward Proposed dividend including tax thereon Balance carried to Balance Sheet DIVIDEND: The Directors have pleasure in recommending for the consideration of the Members at the Annual General Meeting, payment of Dividend of Re.0.10 per share (10%) for the year ended 31st March, 2006 (previous period : Re.0.10). The total outgo including tax thereon will be Rs.189.18 lacs. OPERATIONS: (a) The Company was able to optimally utilise its production facilities and achieved significant growth in production and sales. A record production at 34469 MT and turnover at Rs.30655.49 lacs were achieved during the year under review, reflecting an increase by 53% and 31% respectively on an annualized basis. It is noteworthy that during the year under review, your company earned Rs. 3407.96 lacs profit before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITD), an increase of 54%. It’s net profit before tax at Rs.1546.71 lacs, cash profits before tax at Rs.2185.36 lacs against the net profit before tax at Rs.1228.76 lacs and cash profit before tax at Rs.1654.39 lacs in the previous period reflect an increase of 26% and 32% respectively. However, due to provision for taxation, net profit after tax at Rs. 946.51 lacs was marginally lower than previous period’s net profit after tax at Rs.967.23 lacs. (b) Wild fluctuation in global monomer prices continued throughout the year, perhaps as a sequel to unabated turmoil in crude and petroleum prices. However, your company is learning fast to live with such uncertainties hence could achieve some good results. Furthermore, your Company has revamped its process technology to achieve in post expansion phase cost and quality leadership and also successfully implemented ERP Programme, mySAP. 6 FUTURE PLAN: The programme of expanding current capacity from 48 KTPA to 60 KTPA has been shelved owing to the reasons, enunciated hereinafter. The incremental step to achieve 25% higher production capacity is fraught with the risk of stopping the heart of the production facility, i.e. Bulk SAN plant, for 12 to 14 weeks to carry out modification, during which production of ABS will come to a grinding halt. Owing to near optimal utilization of production facility together with the absorption of the product at the market place, it is not becoming possible to create adequate inventory of Bulk SAN to cover production schedule of ABS uninterruptedly for 12/14 weeks. Moreover, upon further in-depth examination, it is not being found so attractive from cost reduction angle, as a step preceding the mega capacity expansion to 200 KTPA. Therefore, the company’s strategy for capacity expansion is being re-engineered to implement mega expansion programme to 200 KTPA from the present level of 48 KTPA in single or two phases. The implementation strategy whether to reach 200 KTPA in single stage or implement in two stages will be finalised in the next few months because it involves intensive study presently being carried out with respect to utility engineering as your company is coming out with a novel scheme to implement co-generation power plant. Indian manufacturing scene, in general and no exception in particular to ABS business, is getting exposed to international competition in the domestic market. Therefore, the watch words are cost competitiveness globally and quality competence at par with the best in world. There is really no choice for your company than to think big and out of box to get going with it’s mega expansion project in the manner that cost wise the company is slim enough to wrestle at the market place and remain financial-healthwise robust. The strategy, therefore, is right sizing of the capacity expansion and reducing the cost of the utility at minimal level, which would be achievable through co-generation facility your company is planning to build as an integral part of 200 KTPA expansion project. The cost of energy saved will reflect directly in bottom-line improvement. Your company’s endeavour is to carry out the study intensively for achieving cost and quality leadership and equally extensively to arrive at a better understanding of the growth dynamics of Indian and transnational markets. On the one hand there is no alternative than to grow and on the other absorption, of higher volume turn out from the manufacturing outfit, by the market on value added basis posess formidable challenge. While determining the growth model your company is simultaneously formulating the financing strategy. It will be possible for your company to determine by end of the calendar year, financing programme befitting the expansion plan, blueprint whereof will be ready by September, 2006. No doubt there has been delay in working out and implementing the expansion plan but to find the right way in such densely and rapidly changing competitive environment takes some time. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION: Your Company continues to accord high priority to the areas of Safety and Environment Protection. Compliance with safety norms and regular training programs for employees for various safety measures and to increase the safety standards and awareness are an integral part of the Company’s operating system.

Tel : 2269 4127 17 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT :(a) Industry structure ABS consumption in India has grown from 12362 MT during 1992-93 to 79828 MT during 2004-05, an increase of about 545% in a span of 12 years, i.e. CARG 17%. ABS exhibits wide range of properties, which allows the use of ABS for diverse applications, viz. Home Appliances, Automobiles, Telecom Industry, Electrical, Electronics goods, Business machines, Luggage, bus body and lots of other applications such as helmets, novelties, stationery items, etc. In a special study report on “Demand Forecast for Polymers in India till 2009-10”, published by Petrochemicals Data Service, Vadodara reflect demand for ABS is expected to continue it’s growth @ 17% CARG in future too. The choice of ABS polymer for a particular application is dictated by the quality/performance requirement as varied range of composition is available with wide spectrum of properties. (b) Industry development With the passage of time the reality reinvents itself but the core truth never changes. The only difference is that those who dare to dream turn out as achievers more so in a competitive environment. ABS market growth though impressive presents a chicken and egg story, i.e. the demand will grow if the product is available at a competitive price level even after considering the phenomenon of inter polymer shift. It is pertinent to cite the example of Chimei who started their journey of ABS manufacturing with 5000 TPA capacity in early 1990 and now have a capacity of 1.25 million TPA. Chimei is a global leader in terms of capacity build up, cost and quality in general purpose ABS market. They could convert a coveted engineering polymer (ABS) into a bulk polymer and compete well against several bulk polymers viz. PP co-polymer and HIPS. Your company is inspired by such glorious achievement especially because the consumption of ABS in Taiwan is insignificance and Chimei’s success story relates itself to the growing demand of ABS in China who today consume 3.5 million tons of ABS while a decade and half ago when your Company began manufacturing ABS they were at 0.1 million tonne consumption level. In India your Company and another manufacturer both are no doubt growing but at a snail pace because so far none has dared to set up the plant at international competitive level, i.e. 200 KTPA. Your company is indeed working seriously to launch a mega expansion project to achieve 200 KTPA capacity in the manner that cost wise it is competitive even against Chimei (because of low utility cost being aimed through power co-generation concept) and quality-wise at par with them and other respectable players viz. Lanxess, LG and Cheil. India presents the growth opportunity because consuming segment of ABS from automobile and telecommunication industries is likely to present phenomenal growth opportunity (a) because of telecommunication revolution in the domestic market and (b) because India in the next 10 years time will become global hub for automobile manufacturing. In these two market segments, India can boast of higher growth rate than China, though highest consuming segment of ABS in China is toy manufacturing for export especially to USA and Europe. In this segment Indian ABS market has practically not awakened at all. While implementing the growth plan your Company will direct efforts as to how to act as a stimulant in the toy industry in India who must slice out a share of global market, which is practically monopolised by China. (c) Outlook & Opportunities: The opportunity scene has already been presented in the foregoing and the realization has dawned upon your Company that there is no survival without growth. The growth in a highly competitive environment especially when international players are itching to enter Indian market, establishing the technology process to produce the best at a least cost has been the priority area for your Company in last two years. As already reported in the foregoing your Company has revamped its technology with which it is confident to manufacture quality at par with best in the world. Moreover, with implementation of the growth strategy in terms of capacity and lower operating cost to be enjoyed owing to innovative utility engineering scheme of power co-generation, your Company will be able to intimidate entry of any foreign player in Indian ABS manufacturing scene. It is expedient for your Company to expand its capacity with the approach laconically covered in the text herein. (d) Segment-wise or product-wise performance The Company has only one business segment covering ABS and SAN polymers. The figures of production and sales for both ABS and SAN are furnished in the Notes to Accounts. (e) Risks and concerns The Company knows it has to grow and it is gearing up to imaginatively plan and implement 200 KTPA capacity expansion programme. The major threat is delay that it may occur for Indian ABS market to grow and in the intervening period the Company will have to focus on transnational markets. With the unpredictable and widely fluctuating monomer market selling ABS in the spot market many a times presents risk of poor EVA (Economic Value Addition). Challenge, therefore, is to withstand uncertainty like trading with a coin depicting different denomination on either side, since relationship between ABS price and monomer price on standard EVA basis does not get established in sequel. Therefore, with economics of scale your Company’s growth strategy would also be focused on accentuating the growth of ABS market in India by directing efforts towards application research and development. 18 (f) Internal Control Systems and their adequacy The Company has an elaborate system of internal controls to ensure optimal utilization of Company’s resources and protection thereof, facilitating accurate and speedy compilation of accounts, management information reports and compliance with statutes, laws and regulations. The Company has a well defined organization structure, authority levels and internal guidelines and rules for conducting business. The Internal Auditors’ conduct regular audits to ensure adequacy of internal control systems, adherence to management instructions and compliance with laws and regulations of the country. (g) Discussions on financial performance with respect to operational performance There has been substantive growth in the business of the Company, resulting in improved profitability. (h) Human Resources The Company is conscious of the fact that it has to step up its efforts to foster human resource development work in the manner befitting the requirement which may arise out of implementing mega expansion project. Presently your Company is rationalizing human resource deployment in the manner that right man is on the right job. It is working in the direction of reducing multiplicity of supervision layer and developing a flat structure following Japanese philosophy of building manufacturing business organization. In order to remain competitive the entire human resource policy, plan and development strategy focuses on staying slim and empowering its employees much more with matching accountability. Therefore, greater stress is being laid on skill formation through on the job training for enhancing performance at all levels.
