DIRECTORS’ REPORT
To the Members,
Your Directors are pleased to present the Fifty-fifth Annual Report with the Audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended
31st March, 2016.
FINANCIAL RESULTS:
1546.46 1346.54
OPERATIONS:
Automotive Division:
With improved traction on the sales front, the overall Commercial Vehicle sector has returned positive numbers in 2015-16 due to
the increase in spending on infrastructure and benign fuel prices. During fiscal 2015-16, Heavy and Medium Commercial Vehicles
maintained their growth curve. The strong sales, was attributed to fleet operators replacing their aging fleets. After struggling for
more than two years, the LCV segment has seen the green shoots of recovery and entered positive territory.
Indian Tractor Industry 2015-2016:
Farm sentiments continue to remain weak. The decline which started in October 2014 continued during the year registering
a degrowth of 9% for domestic sales. The demand in the market continues to be marred by weak farm sentiments, a result of
stressed farm incomes on account of consecutive crop failures, and a second consecutive year of weak south-west monsoon.
Despite of the sluggish tractor industry & marginal growth in LCV segment, the Company was able to achieve top line growth with
the help of M&HCV segment growth and various initiatives taken for increasing the after market sales and getting approvals for
Industrial Bearings.

3. The Tractor industry’s degrowth pattern has reversed, albeit with very small positive growth.
4. Both the Commercial Vehicle and the Tractor Industry customers are not committing year long schedules as they are
uncertain about the turnaround being permanent.
5. The monsoon activity has a huge impact on the Industrial growth.
6. The aftermarket continues to be plagued with spurious bearings, though continuous efforts are being made by the
Company to control this activity.
f) Environment & Sustainability
Towards fulfilling our responsibility for the environment, we continuously work for reducing the impacts on environment.
Various initiatives like revisiting the manufacturing process for minimizing the waste generation, minimizing the consumption
of natural resources, coolant recovery from grinding dust, reduction of energy consumption by using energy efficient lightings,
implementation of reusable packaging systems are undertaken for environmental protection.
As an integral part of our Environmental Management System ISO 14001:2004, we measure and monitor the key environmental
parameters like water consumption, effluent discharge, gas emission, electric consumption etc. and improve every year.
The management extended the environmental responsibility throughout entire supply chain, moving one step ahead towards
our one of the environmental objectives, minimizing the consumption of natural resources, during year 2015-16 joint efforts
with the suppliers, we minimized the use of input material through suppliers’ process optimization.
We design lighter bearings keeping the load carrying capacity same as previous which helps customer to improve energy
efficiency. We design and manufacture the bearings with higher load rating within the existing boundary dimensions which
gives longer service life or allows customer to use down sized bearings for same application.
g) Internal control systems and their adequacy
The Company has strong internal controls which enable it to comply with the policies, procedures, standard guidelines and
laws to help protect its assets against financial losses. The Audit Committee comprising of Independent Directors regularly
reviews the financial and risk management policies, monitors control procedures, reviews key audit findings and recommends
measures to improvise risk mitigation plan concerning the business of the Company. The scope of work for the Internal
Auditors is designed in the manner that they review the processes and transactions on periodic basis, discuss their findings
with the operating management and make recommendations which are submitted to the Audit Committee. The Senior
Management Team carries out monthly reviews to assess the internal control environment and their adequacy concerning the
business and environment and make recommendations. We believe that these internal control systems provide, among other
things, a reasonable assurance that transactions are executed with management authorization and that they are recorded in
all material respects to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with established accounting principles.
h) Financial performance with respect to operations
The total income for the year stood at R 201.25 Crores compared to R 179.79 Crores of the previous year. In light of our main
customers i.e. Commercial Vehicle showing a modest growth of 12 % and Tractor Industry showing negative growth of -9%,
it is quite modest to state that the Company is able to show approximately 14% growth over the previous year.
Profit before tax was higher Rs 8.38 Crores against the R 4.81 Crores in previous year on comparable basis. There is a
marked improvement at operating levels largely on account of increase in sales.
i) Human Resources and Industrial Relations
The Company has one of the lowest rates of attrition within the industry and also as compared to the neighbouring industries.
This is primarily the result of continued focus on employees and implementing many initiatives to improve the employee
motivation and performance.
During the year, the Company implemented 102 Kaizans which were initiated by blue collar employees to improve productivity
on the shop floor. This year Company participated in Kaizan competition arranged by Baroda Productivity Council. Total 17
Companies participated out of that the Company won runners up trophy.
Periodical training programmers are conducted in modern manufacturing practices, lean and quality management and
behavioral aspects to teach and motivate the employees for bettering themselves and the environment.

ANNEXURE - II
ABC Bearings Limited
Annexure to Independent Auditors’ Report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2016
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-Section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ABC Bearings Limited (“the Company”) as of 31st March,
2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
The Company’s management is responsible for ensuring that adequate internal financial controls systems is operational as
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include implementation of policies and procedures adopted by the Company
for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its
assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the
timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
(the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial
controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established
and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system
over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that
48
2015-16
the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting
and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2016, based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India.
