CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholder,

Last year saw our international consultant’s report being submitted and broadly
accepted by the Management of the Company. This acceptance mandates, among
other things, significant organizational changes and H.R. growth, introduction of new
products and concentration on linking manufacturing to sales and design in a way
which will prepare us well for the succeeding decade.

We must operate our business in the context of some significant events in the world
which also impact us in our societies. Some of these events are that much of the
world, including India, remains mired in poverty; the estimated future prices of fossil
fuels for energy are going to be so high that the way we live will be comprehensively
altered, bringing a host of new opportunities which will change our lives in presently
unknown ways. Many forces including the impact of rapid industrialization of
developing countries, is causing the world’s natural ecological balance to shift with
completely unpredictable consequences.

Therefore we must commit to run our business to fit into the particular scenarios of
how life and business will be in the future.

Accordingly, all of our products must provide a healthful, cheerful and sustainable
way of life. This requires significant application of mind and then great courage to
stay the course. It is in this way that we can help make a better life for many. This is the
set of values we must live by. All of our products must necessarily get Energy Star
ratings so that the customer may know that we, with them, are active subscribers
and participants in programmes to conserve energy. The consequential initial higher
price to the consumer will give a long term return to the society, and therefore
themselves. We must propagate that reducing each person’s carbon foot print
through lower energy consumption will make for a better life for all of us. Therefore
we must look for materials that are recyclable, most convenient to be accessed, easy
to use, so that our customers may say that they are participating in the world campaign
for lower energy consumption and reducing global warming.

We cannot do this alone. While we will of course use many design firms and R&D
establishments, including our own, we must enlist the assistance of all stakeholders
such as our customers/ shareholders/employees/dealers. They can and must tell us
and give us ideas how we may proceed on our mission. We live in this world together
and therefore must be partners in making a better life for all of us.

.

The previously announced merger of Usha International Limited into The Jay
Engineering Works Ltd is now complete; we have changed the name of the merged
entity (i.e. The Jay Engineering Works Ltd) into Usha International Ltd to better express
our brand. Thus now, for the first time, Usha International is a composite of our own
manufacturing, our own selling and distribution, our own brands and our own sourcing
and distributing. Now that this is achieved there are many plans to improve our
business over the next 3-4 years.

We are exploring new businesses that we may enter into including the establishment
of additional brands and distribution of other brands and products through our
superior distribution system. You will see evidence of this in the coming months.

We have targeted that UIL will grow at a rapid but measured pace. For this however
there has to be a complete overhaul and re-envisioning of our human resources
structures. Consequently a comprehensive overhaul of all policies are being
undertaken and streamlining and modernizing a bottom-up top-down approach to
evolving an H R Vision is under way. We believe that this will significantly enhance
the attractiveness of our Company for encouraging bright new talent to join us and
for retaining existing skills. We have already embarked on expansion of top and
senior management at different levels to fill out our growing needs, investing
significantly higher amounts on executive education at all levels and involving each
employee in representing the Company and our corporate brand to the external
world.

At present the Company shares post merger are not traded. Procedural matters with
the exchanges where your Company was originally listed (Delhi and Calcutta Stock
Exchanges) have been completed and subsequent applications on the BSE and NSE,
where they were never listed, will be made. Please bear with us on this.

With warm regards,

Siddharth Shriram

CEILING FAN

9. Management Discussions and Analysis Report


A. Product Categories
 Fans

Production of fans by the organised sector in India crossed the 20 million mark during
2007-08, a growth of 18% over the previous year. Usha retained the No. 2 position in the
organised sector and grew volumes by 12.5% during the year.

In the financial year 2007-08, Usha International, responding to the growth in demand
from the construction sector, reinforced its distribution across the country with over 600
redistributors and direct dealers added to the sales network. Deeper penetration in the
market has been achieved due to an increased presence in small towns. The Company has
a dedicated team promoting the brand in large format retail outlets in urban and semi-
urban commercial centres.

Last year 20 new models with distinctive styles and features had been introduced in the
market. Presently, the brand offers the widest portfolio of products across categories in
the fan industry.

Segmentation has played an important role in defining the marketing strategy. Usha
entered the air circulator segment, a niche that has evolved owing to the rapid
industrialisation taking place in the country. Similarly, in the lifestyle segment, the Company
has bolstered the existing portfolio by adding four new decorative models in the ceiling
fan category.

The industry is expected to achieve good growth in the coming years. The pace of growth
however will witness a decline as it will be impacted by macro trends in the Indian
economy with real estate adversely affected and increasing interest rates reducing
disposable incomes.

 Sewing Machines

During the past year Usha International sold 500,000 straight stitch sewing machines.
Usha is the market leader in this segment with a market share of 75% of the organised
sector

For Usha, the automatic zig-zag sewing machine segment is growing rapidly with a
growth of 21% over last year. The Company has recently introduced a new model ‘ALLURE’
from it’s long time partner Janome of Japan, in the automatic zig-zag category at an
attractive price point, which should boost sales even further. Plans are being developed to
extend the distribution reach of the automatic zigzag sewing machines to smaller towns
across India.

Usha has introduced a range of automatic computerised embroidery machines targeted


at boutique owners and job workers. In 2007-08, the MC-200E from Janome was launched
in the Memory Craft series.

In addition to this, seven new sewing machine models were introduced in the high-speed
industrial category.

14
.

AUTOMATIC ZIG-ZAG SEWING MACHINE

Sales and service standards have been upped to further establish the brand within the
several sewing and embroidery machine segments. Product training, including service
training by qualified engineers from Janome of Japan has been organised for sales staff
during the past year. Apart from increasing promotional efforts through exhibitions,
improved logistics and service support has given a boost to sales

The Company has an established presence of 1,500 dealers spread up to small towns.
Focussed initiatives in the past year have resulted in expanding the customer base.

In the coming year, plans have been firmed up to enhance initiatives both in the zig-zag
and highspeed industrial segments. The high-speed industrial machine range as well as
its marketing network is being expanded to offer more options to target garment exporters.
For the zig zag range, hobby centres are being opened to serve as interactive touch-
points with customers.

 Sewing Schools

The Usha sewing and design school network has grown to a strength of 325 with a view
to doubling this number in the next two years. The curriculum has been revamped and
implemented. These schools now offer a viable vocational option and are professionally
managed.

 Home Appliances

During 2007-08, the industry grew at 18%. Growth of the organised sector was more
robust at 24%-25%. The industry is highly fragmented, which indicates opportunities in
the distant future.

Usha’s presence in the home appliances market is extensive. In the financial year 2007-08,
the Appliances division registered a topline growth of 19% over the previous year. Factors
inducing growth were better visibility by way of promotions, a wider distribution network,
and an expanded product range.

Mixer-grinder is an important product category and its contribution in the Company’s


appliances portfolio has been considerable. In the past year, Usha introduced:

 A new Mixer-Grinder model catering to the economy segment.

 A new Room Cooler model featuring an all-new design with a larger tank capacity.

 New products in categories including juicer-mixer-grinders, steam irons, toasters,


halogen heaters and instant water heaters.

Brand visibility is being built up through the introduction of Usha Lexus home appliances
across a number of large format retail chains. The dealer network has been strengthened
both in terms of numbers and through service and training inputs.

Plans for the coming year include new model introductions in key categories, as well as
the development of niche segments. The strategy includes aggressive pricing, introduction
of economy models and an expansion of the distribution network.

JUICER MIXER GRINDER

 Engines and Pumpsets


Market conditions in this product category were depressed during 2007-08 owing to the
steep hike in the cost of pig iron, steel and other inputs. Aggregate sales including
imports of small horsepower diesel engines stood at 500,000 units for the year for the
organised sector industry. Slow-speed and standard segments witnessed a decline, while
the light-weight and imported engine segments saw a growth in sales.
Despite the adverse conditions, Usha achieved 20% growth in the sales of engines and
pumpsets over the previous year, improving its position in the imported, light-weight
and standard segments. Usha is now the largest selling small engines based pumpset
brand across the country.
Recent product introductions by the Company are in keeping with changing customer
preferences. The newly introduced light-weight engines and the Honda-powered kerosene
pumpsets have contributed substantially to Usha’s growth in the category. In the agro-
industrial segment, sales of aircooled engines picked up owing to various government
schemes.
Marketing activities proposed for the coming season include dealer network upgradation
and extension of service facilities in the rural markets. The Company proposes to introduce
imported engines for applications other than for pumpsets.
 Electrical Motors and Pumps
While the industry grew at around 7% during the financial year 2007-08, the Company
registered a growth of 30% in this category.
The submersible pumpset range launched two years back has clocked the fastest rate of
growth within the category at 49%. Designed to operate under low voltage conditions,
the Usha range is competitively priced. In addition, sales in the mini- monoblock segment
grew by 20%.
The Company has launched a full range of compressor pumps in the Eastern India. These
are specially suited to the high depth water table conditions prevalent in the region.
Also introduced during 2007-08 is a sleek new 0.5 HP Mini Monobloc model in the economy
segment.
The submersible pumps segment is a high growth area, and the Company plans to focus
on dealer network upgradation during the coming year to improve its sales and
distribution platform. New introductions are also scheduled in the Electric Monobloc,
Mini Monobloc and slow-speed Mini Monobloc categories.
 Water Coolers & Dispensers
The refrigeration business consists of two product categories – water coolers and water
dispensers. The market for the former product line has been sluggish at 7% growth for
the past couple of years. Water dispensers, on the other hand, have demonstrated good
industry growth, at around 30%.
In the financial year 2007-08, sales of Usha water coolers grew by about 7%, which
parallels the industry trend. Business for Usha water dispensers has grown by 43% over
the previous year.
Quality was enhanced through the introduction of PUF-injected insulation of water cooler
tanks in the last year. The Company shored up its service and distribution through a focus
on network expansion, dealer productivity and training inputs during the year.

.

PORTABLE PUMPSET

For the coming year, the Company has chalked out a sales plan targeting growth rates of
25% and 75% in the water cooler and dispenser categories respectively. The Company is
expected to tap the potential of the export market as well in this product category.
 Auto components
Following the tie-up for the marketing and distribution of the NGK brand spark plugs,
Usha’s auto component division has moved forward. The distribution network has been
revamped and extended across the country.
Aggressive promotions through display stalls and van campaigns elicited good customer
pull.
Emphasis has been on field level marketing in tier II and III towns, where the growth in
demand has been the strongest.
B. Exports
Exports for the Company comprise of four product categories:
 Electric fans : Exports in this category grew by 5%.
 Chemicals : Export of chemicals by the Company has declined owing to better realizations
in the domestic market.
 Diesel engines : The Company increased exports of diesel engines by 10%.
 Auto Components : Export of fuel injection equipment and auto components increased
by 12% during 2007-08.
Strengthening of the rupee and the rise in input costs has had an adverse impact on growing
the export business. The resultant increase in selling prices has affected sales across all
categories.
Participation in trade fairs has helped grow the brand in international markets. There has
been a favourable growth in the export of electric fans, and the Company maintains its
position as the No.2 exporter of fans from the country. Overall exports by the Company are
targeted to grow by 25% during the coming year.
C. Modern Retail
The Company’s business with Modern Retail has grown substantially in the year. The Company
currently does business with 18 Modern Retail format chains across the country. Market
leadership for Usha fans has been clearly established across all large format stores, and the
brand has over 50% market share in the three top chains.
Recruitment of dedicated sales teams and close interaction with major retail chains has
served to establish the brand in this area. Store-level promotions and deployment of the
appropriate product mix is regularly reviewed. A monthly training calendar has been chalked
up, both for the Company’s sales team and for channel promoters. New products have been
developed specifically for this channel. Products introduced last year include water dispensers
and automatic zig-zag sewing machines.
This sector is growing rapidly and the Company has set a target of 100% growth for the
coming year if not more.

MINI MONOBLOCK

D. Distribution Network
To support its sales force, the organization has an infrastructure backbone of 16 locational
offices, 57 Company showrooms and 33 warehouses. At the retail level, the Company is
represented through an extensive dealer network and a presence in all urban centres with
a population over 20,000. The Usha brand is well recognised even in the hinterland; sales
from semi-rural areas contribute to approximately 20% of the Company’s revenues.

The Company showcases its product range through its network of Company showrooms
across India, which will soon be expanded. New locations in upcoming retail districts are
being considered.

E. Information Technology
The Company wishes to greatly strengthen its IT operations backbone. The ERP system is
being upgraded to the latest version and HR and Payroll operations will be mapped during
the year. The Business Intelligence Warehousing component is being implemented for
better business analysis through strategic and operational MIS reporting processes. Network
infrastructure has been improved by upgrading to higher capacity links with improved
reliability.

In the coming year, provision has been made to upgrade the IT infrastructure at all Company
showrooms. Modern retail requirements are being mapped to configure hardware and
software requirements, which will be networked to a central SAP system.

An online business information access platform is scheduled for implementation through


SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
solutions. This is expected to deliver greater transparency and strengthen the information
flow with stakeholders, including suppliers and key customers. All factories will be connected
through ERP and the next stage will be to integrate key suppliers.

As per the Company’s comprehensive IT security policy, internal and external audits are
regularly conducted.

F. Human Resources
The Company is revamping its complete HR structure to better address the needs of the
future. This will include the following, among other initiative areas:

I. Training and Development

II. Organisational Restructuring

III. Performance Management Systems

The restructured environment will be more transparent and offer all employees greater
opportunity for happiness and success. This is integral to the Company’s vision to bring in
and retain talent and effectively meet the demands of business in the future.

G. After Sales Service


The Company is committed to providing a high standard of customer satisfaction. A service-
centric approach has been formulated to deliver on this commitment.

.

WATER COOLER AND DISPENSER

The network of Authorized Service Centres has been expanded to 79, which is in addition
to a large network of service dealers across the country. To effectively monitor the
performance of these service centres, online monitoring systems have been implemented
at 45 major locations, with plans to expand to all service points.
During the year, a number of customer-friendly service practices have been put in place. For
added convenience, Usha Service Centres are now open seven days of the week; Satisfaction
surveys conducted by independent auditors on defined performance parameters are a
regular feature; A faster response on spare parts supply is now possible, thanks to an
upgraded logistic management system; Service engineers have been trained to attend to
the concerns of customers and to deal satisfactorily with customer complaints.
H. ISO Certification
The organization has documented and implemented a Quality Management System for it’s
marketing side, and this will be expanded to include the manufacturing side given the
recent merger. This will be continuously reviewed, and we plan to further strengthen the
effectiveness and reach of this system in accordance with international benchmarks.
At both the operational and functional levels, Usha’s Quality Management System
emphasises continual improvement and customer satisfaction. The Company made an
early move to the new ISO9001: 2000 standards in 2002. To facilitate implementation of the
upgraded standards, more than 50 internal auditors from within the organisation have
undergone quality certification courses conducted by recognised bodies.
Quarterly audits across locations help in gap-identification, process definitions and remedial
measures. In the past, the Company has earned all compliance credit in the surveillance
audits conducted by M/s DNV.
I. Corporate Communications
The department is largely responsible for helping to build the Company’s brands and
image and to communicate relevant information to all stakeholders. Corporate
Communications has been an active participant in marketing initiatives of the Company,
some of these areas are:
● To extend the brand’s perceptual advantage across categories, an exercise to
standardise communication activities was undertaken during 2007-08. Design templates
have been created across all products to cover all aspects of communication - packaging,
advertising, in-store and external signages and all product collaterals. Emphasis has
been on creating simple communication with a clear brand association. The Company’s
website has also been revamped to make for easy navigation and quick access. Sections
have been added to make the site relevant to all stakeholders.
● To make for more focussed interaction with the dealer fraternity, the format of dealer
meets is being revamped to make them more product centric, on a region-wise basis.
This will aid in more meaningful and relevant dialogue with this audience.
● Usha is the sponsor of the Ladies All India Amateur and the Northern India Amateur
Golf Championships. In fact the Group has been associated with the Northern India
event for the last 20 years. These annual events are keenly contested and serve as a
stepping stone for greater achievements in the international arena. To promote young
golfing talent, the Company has been sponsoring Junior Training Programmes and
Junior Tournaments in Delhi since 2006. This year, the Company plans to extend its
support and sponsorship to Junior Tournaments held in other parts of the country as
well.

L. Swot Analysis for the Company


STRENGTHS
1. Strong distribution network : Usha International Ltd. has a strong distribution network,
with a presence across all metros, class I and II towns, as well as potential class III, IV and
V towns. Apart from the trade segment, UIL has a good presence in modern retail, CSD
and channels selling to institutions. Separate sales teams handle each of these segments
and distribution upgradation is one of their Key Result Areas.
2. Strong brand : Usha has a high brand recall in most of its product categories. The
brand is associated with quality, trust and reliability.
WEAKNESSES
1. As we are targeting aggressive growth, we will be short on highly skilled HR resources
across the board in the near future.
OPPORTUNITIES
1. Multi-brand Marketing : With a strong distribution base, SAP, systems, infrastructure
and good knowledge of the consumer durable industry, Usha International is in a
strong position to enter the Multi-brand distribution and marketing business for
brands that might want to enter the Indian market.
2. Good macro economic performance : A GDP growth rate of 8% - 9% and rising income
levels are expected to result in greater demand for consumer durables despite temporary
problems.
3. Potential for home appliances : The present level of penetration of home appliances in
India is very low. As incomes rise and the standard of living goes up, this category has
a good potential for growth.
4. Potential of reaching rural India : Given the Company’s extensive product range, and
given good income generation in rural areas, the Company is in a strong position to
capture emerging demand from small towns and rural areas for new and innovative
products.
5. Favourable government policies : The government’s emphasis on rural development
and support for under-privileged sections of society provides good opportunities for
promoting the sale of products like pump sets and sewing machines.
THREATS
1. Threat to the straight stitch sewing machine business : Due to a steep increase in pig
iron, steel and other raw material rates, product prices have had to be increased by
nearly 20% in the last one year. The price increase could be even higher this year. This
will adversely affect demand and growth.
2. Competition from Small Scale Sector players : In most product categories, there is
intense competition from the large small-scale industry. This restricts the Company’s
margins.

22
.

USHA FAN INDUSTRIES

3. Talent Acquisition and retention : Attracting and retaining talent is a potential threat
for future growth.
4. Impact of macro factors on exports : Government policies with respect to export
incentives and exchange rates will have an adverse effect on the Company’s exports,
which accounts for 9% of the turnover.

5. Low price imports from China and elsewhere : The low price of imports from China and
else where is a threat to the Company. The government’s policies on regional and free
trade agreements could result in opening the door to more imports at far lower prices,
resulting in unequal competition.

6. Inflation and feel good factor : In the short run, consumer durable sales get affected by
the ‘feel good’ factor. The present inflation and other economic indicators are not
favourable for consumer durable sale.

7. Chinese and other foreign companies entering India as stand alone companies.

which is designed to cover all assets over a period of three years and, in accordance
therewith, physical verification of major portion of the fixed assets of the Company was

the assets physically verified in the current year, reconciliation with the book records is in
progress.
(c) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, no

adequate internal control systems commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature
of its business with regard to purchases of inventories and fixed assets and with regard to the

has complied with the directives issued by the Reserve Bank of India and provisions of Section

arise.
(vii) The Company’s internal audit is carried out by a firm of Chartered Accountants. In our opinion,
the Company’s internal audit system is commensurate with the size and nature of its business.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

We have audited the attached balance sheet of Avro Sales Private Limited as at 31st March, 2008 and
the profit & loss account for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those
Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supperting the amounts and desclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of financial statements. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Since paid-up capital and reserves of the company are below Rs. 50.00 lacs there were no loans
outstanding in excess of Rs. 25.00 lacs from any bank or financial institutions and the turnover did not
exceed Rs. 5.00 crores, the Companies (Auditors Report) order, 2003 (CARO) is not applicable to the
company and has therefore not been commented upon.
Further we report that :-
(a) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge
and belief, were necessary for the purpose of our audit.
(b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the company so
far as appears from our examination of the books.
(c) The company’s Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss account dealt with by this report are in agreement
with the books of account.
(d) In our opinion the Profit & Loss account and Balance Sheet of the Company comply with
accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956.
(e) Based on the representations made by all the Directors of the Company and the information
and explanation duly certified given to us by the Company none of the Directors of the Company
has prima facie any disqualification as referred to in clause (g) of sub-section (1) to section 274
of the Companies Act, 1956.
(f) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the said accounts read with the notes to the accounts and Statement of Accounting Policies
appended thereto, give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view:
(i) In the case of the Balance Sheet of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March,
2008; and
(ii) In the case of the Profit & Loss account of the Company of the loss for the year ending on
that date.

reasonable certainity that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
Deferred tax assets can be realised.
2. Till the end of last year the company was computing liablities on account of Gratuity and leave
salary as per acturial valuation. However, since only a limited number of employees remain, the

employee makes a claim at the end of the year.
3. Balances recoverable /payable on account of debtors (Rs 1093355), Advances (Rs29485) and
amounts payable (Rs113062)have been shown as good for recovery/payment and have been

a going concern.
