Subsidiary

A wholly-owned subsidiary in the name of "Accumax Rings Limited" was incorporated in the month of April, 2013. The subsidiary was established to focus on the Forged Rings business and your Company was to transfer its segmental assets and liabilities pertaining to the Forged Rings to its wholly-owned subsidiary. The reason to transfer this business to the subsidiary was to focus on its core activities of manufacturing and export of agriculture implements.

However since last one year, the export market for the agricultre implements has remained subdued. Your company, which was largely focused on the US markets for its agriculture implement business, is facing stiff competition leading to a very moderate growth in the said business.

Further under the newly elected Government, the domestic business sentiments have also changed for the better as it takes the right steps to provide an impetus to economy and industry, reignite industry demand even while enforcing fiscal prudence and contain inflation. This will also help the automobile industry which will lead to increased business of Forged rings where your company is taking steps to increase its footprints

In view of the above, your board feels that it would be in the long term interest of all the stakeholders to continue the bearing ring manufacturing business in the company itself and not to transfer the same to its subsidiary.
