FAIRFIELD ATLAS LIMITED
Management Discussion and Analysis
(a) Industry Structure and Developments
The Company�s core business operations fall in the broad categories of agriculture, construction, automotive,
energy, mining and more specifically the on-off highway power transmission sector. Indian Manufacturers of
gears for these markets/industries can be classified on the basis of being an original equipment supplier or
a replacement market supplier or a combination of both. Currently, leading manufacturers in these industries
source their gear requirements through their captive in-house facilities, if any, or from suppliers approved by
them. Fairfield Atlas Ltd., is one such approved and preferred supplier to OEM�s in the markets mentioned
above. The demand for the Company�s product is a derived demand and hence is dependent upon growth
rate of its OEM customers. In the recent past the automobile industry has shown a positive growth rate, the
tractor industry has also witnessed growth owing to a strong rural demand and liquidity. With the government
focus and thrust on infrastructure development the construction industry is poised to reap the benefits of the
Government�s policy. There is also a revival in the export business of the company due to a gradual decline
in the recessionary conditions prevailing in the company�s export markets.
(b) Opportunities and Threats
The Company is in the category of supplier to original equipment manufacturers both for its domestic and
international business. It has therefore built up a reputation in respect of the quality standards of its products.
Moreover it has procured an internationally acclaimed quality management certificate for establishing its
quality management system. Apart from its inherent reputation and capability the company being a unit in
the Oerlikon Group which includes Oerlikon Fairfield in USA and Oerlikon Graziano in Italy its international
strategic partners presents opportunities for broadening the offering of its products. Oerlikon Graziano Italy
has a presence in India viz. Graziano Trasmissioni (India) Pvt.Ltd. Consequently there are opportunities for
exploring the various synergies between the two companies so as to augment and strengthen the ability to serve
its domestic and international customers by making optimum use of its resources. A low level of vehicle
ownership in India as compared with the world average implies an opportunity for growth of the Automobile
industry which will benefit the domestic business of the company. However the company also faces competition
from the presence of other auto component manufacturers in the country. The Company proposes to provide
diverse services in the field of engineering and consulting and has accordingly initiated action for altering the
objects clause in the Memorandum of Association of the company. The Company�s assessment has revealed
that there are significant opportunities in these areas which would facilitate growth and increase the area of
operation of the company.
(c) Segment-Wise Performance
The company has determined it business segments as on-highway (select applications), agriculture, mining,
energy and construction related transmission gears. There are no other primary reportable segments since
100% of the Company�s business is from transmission-type gears. As indicated above, the company will
evaluate and establish strategic investment and growth initiatives in these segments that will yield appropriate
returns on investment.
(d) Outlook
As the Indian economy is projected to grow it will drive greater demand for the Company�s products in the
domestic market as well as exports globally. With the synergy that would be developed with Graziano Trasmissioni
India Pvt.Ltd., on various aspects of the business, there is a potential for widening the scope of the company�s
business which could lead to expanding its footprint in India. The outlook of the company as regards to the
new business proposed to be commenced in the field of engineering and consulting is encouraging and in the
long run could be a potential revenue earner for the company. With these developments the outlook for the
company�s business continues to be positive.

21st Annual Report 2010�2011
(e) Internal Control System
The Company�s internal control system is an intrinsic part of the overall Governance process and is exercised
within a framework of appropriate checks and balances. It ensures an effective internal control environment
that provides assurance on the security of assets and efficacy of its operations. The internal control system
is further strengthened by the ERP mechanism.
In addition to statutory audit, the financial and operating controls are reviewed by the Internal Auditors. The
company has appointed a reputed and experienced Chartered Accountancy firm to conduct the Internal Audit
and their Internal Audit Report is forwarded to the Audit Committee of the Board for discussions. The
company�s cost records are subject to Cost Audit as prescribed by the Government. Compliance with various
laws and regulations pertaining to the company are also monitored by placing compliance reports at every
Audit Committee meeting.
(f) Human Resources / Industrial Relations
Industrial relations at the Plant continued to be cordial and harmonious during the year. The Company is
committed to maintain good industrial relations through a process of dialogue and negotiations. Various
training programmes were conducted at outstation locations for employees at all levels. These training
programmes covered a wide range of topics like development of communication skill, stress management and
interpersonal relations. These programmes were well attended by the employees.
The company has a strength of 544 permanent employees as on 31st March, 2011.
(g) Risks and Concerns
Since export revenues continue to be a significant contributor to the Company�s turnover a slackening of the
export markets can have an impact on the overall profitability. Further as the export business of the Company
is billed in foreign currency it is exposed to currency fluctuations and volatility against the Indian Rupee and
would therefore impact the foreign earnings of the Company. The spiraling cost of raw materials and
petroleum products and rising inflation are matter of concern although the company is taking steps on an
ongoing basis to mitigate the adverse effects by resorting to cost saving measures as well as recovering the
impact of cost increases from its customers. The recent trend amongst business enterprises in India of acquiring
auto component plants abroad could be a matter of concern particularly when these plants have gear
manufacturing facilities.
DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FIXED ASSETS
Company�s gross block has gone up by Rs. 932 lakhs over the previous year in keeping with the budget made
by the company at the beginning of the year. Out of Rs. 932 lakhs, net increase of Rs. 846 lakhs is towards plant

increments along with Bonus.

cost has gone up by a minimal Rs.8 lakhs only as compared to previous year.
Depreciation : Depreciation has gone up by Rs. 56.6 lakhs mainly due to purchase of equipment during the year
and running of the Plant in three shifts.

The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based onactuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognizes each period ofservice as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unitseparately to build up the final obligation.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discountrates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, arebased on the relevant market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.
(c) Long term employment benefits :

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible or a presentobligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possibleobligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosureis made. Loss contingencies arising from claims, litigations, assessments, fines, penalties etc are recordedwhen it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, theprovision is reversed.

loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable
amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost.

21st Annual Report 2010�2011
Annexure to the AUDITORS� REPORT
- 31st March 2011
With reference to the Annexure referred to in paragraph 1 of the Auditors� Report to the members of Fairfield Atlas Limited
(�the Company�) on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011, we report that:
(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation
of fixed assets.
(b) The Company has a regular programme of physical verification of its fixed assets by which all fixed assets are
verified in a phased manner over a period of three years. In our opinion, this periodicity of physical verification
is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies
were noticed on such verification.
(c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial, and therefore, do not affect the going concern
assumption.
(ii) (a) The inventory, except goods-in-transit and stocks lying with third parties, has been physically verified by the
management during the year. In our opinion, the frequency of such verification is reasonable. For stocks lying
with third parties at the year-end, written confirmations have been obtained.
(b) The procedures for the physical verification of inventories followed by the management are reasonable and
adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
(c) On the basis of our examination of the inventory records, in our opinion, except for pending updation of inventory
records of work in progress, the Company is maintaining proper records of inventory. Closing balance of work in
progress has been valued based on physical verification at year end. Accordingly, the closing balance of work in
progress as per books can not be ascertained. The discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventory
(except for work in progress) as compared to book records were not material.
(iii) The Company has neither granted nor taken any loans, secured or unsecured, to or from companies, firms or other
parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act.
(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, and having regard to the explanation
that purchases of certain items of inventories and fixed assets are for the Company�s specialised requirements and
similarly certain goods sold and services rendered are for the specialised requirements of the buyers and suitable
alternative sources are not available to obtain comparable quotations, there is an adequate internal control system
commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business with regard to purchase of inventories
and fixed assets and with regard to the sale of goods and services. In our opinion and according to the information
and explanations given to us, except for pending updation of inventory records of work in progress, there is no
continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in internal control system.
(v) In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations given to us, there are no contracts and arrangements
the particulars of which need to be entered into the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act.
(vi) The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public.
(vii) In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system commensurate with the size and nature of its business.
(viii)We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the Company pursuant to the rules prescribed by the

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India (�Indian GAAP�)
and comply with the companies (accounting standards) rules, 2006 issued by the Central Government,
in consultation with National Advisory Committee on accounting standards (�NACAS�) and relevant
provisions of Companies Act, 1956 (�the Act�) to the extent applicable.
2.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent liabilities as of the date of financial statements. Although these estimates are based upon
management�s best knowledge of current assets and liabilities, actual results may differ from those
estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future
periods.
2.3 Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of transmission gears and gear boxes is recognized on transfer of all significant risks
and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Related services are recognised once the services are rendered.
Sales are recorded net of trade discounts, rebates, sales tax, excise duty and sales return.
Interest income is recognized using the time proportion method based at the underlying interest rates.
2.4 Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation, amortisation
and impairment loss, if any. Cost includes inward freight, duties, taxes and direct expenses relating to
acquisition and installation of the asset.
Depreciation on fixed assets has been provided using straight line value method in the manner and
at the rates prescribed by Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, except for material handling
equipments which have been depreciated on straight line method over a period of three years and
technical know how fees is amortized over a period of eighteen months from the date of technology
being put to use.
Depreciation is charged on pro-rata basis for assets purchased / disposed off during the period.
Individual assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are depreciated fully in the year of purchase.
Impairment of fixed assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may
be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value based on an appropriate
discount factor. If such recoverable amount of asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its
recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the profit and
