 DIRECTOR’S REPORT

To,
The Members, Dabur Foods Ltd.
Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the 8th Annual Report on the business and operations of the Company together with
the audited statement of accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2005.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL RESULTS:

Your Company registered another year of fantastic performance in 2004-05 by growing sales by 51% and tripling profit. The
business crossed the landmark of Rs.100 crs sales mark. The business recorded a turnover of Rs.130.14 crores and profit after
tax of Rs.5.25 crores. The key highlights of performance are:
• Real Juice strengthened market leadership position and also crossed the Rs 100 crs balance sheet sales mark.
• Strong growth from new product launches and exports.
• The line extensions of Hommade also continued to drive the growth.
The primary growth drivers of your business were its two fruit juice brands ––“Real” and”“Real Activ”. Real grew by 40 per cent
and Real Activ recorded an even more impressive growth of 43% during 2004-05. During the year your Company repositioned
its offerings to put in place a well-segmented product strategy. Your Company now has three distinct brands across the fresh
fruit juice category. Activ’s new identity, which has now become distinct from the Real brand, has been brought out in its new
contemporary and trendy packaging. The Activ range now has five flavours including the two new additions – Mixed Fruit
Cucumber Spinach Juice and Mixed Fruit Beetroot Carrot Juice.
Expanding it’s portfolio, your company launched a new innovative brand to tap an emerging consumer need. While Real
continues to be the offering in the medium segment with growth thrust provided by continuously launching new flavours, the
economy end of the portfolio consists of “Coolers”. These drinks are based on traditional Indian formulations, which have a
cooling effect on the body. They were launched in 3 flavours — Watermelon, Pomegranate and Aam Panna.
The Hommade brand grew by 41% in 2004-05. This brand offers a range of cooking pastes, tomato puree, coconut milk and has
recently test marketed a soup concentrate.
Besides the retails channel, the product is extensively distributed in the food services channel, dominating this channel by
making it available in the best hotels, restaurants, airlines and several institutions like business houses to Indian army. In the
current year, a separate brand called Nature’s Best has been created for institutional sales and it consists of products like
ketchup and corn powder. There was impressive growth in sales of honey to institutions, which is done in special 1 kg packs
Dabur Foods’ multi-fruit processing facility at Siliguri, West Bengal under the name of its wholly owned subsidiary – Pasadensa
Foods Limited became fully operational during the year. The plant produces pulp and concentrates and has brought the Company
a step closer to achieving full backward integration and realising the resultant cost efficiencies. The plant meets the stringent
requirements of the Codex Alimentarius Commission Guidelines, the Recommended International Code of Practices and the
General Principles of Food Hygiene.
In 2004-05, Dabur Foods acquired a new facility near Jaipur for manufacturing fruit juices. The plant currently has manufacturing
facilities for 200 ml packs. This facility will be upgraded to manufacture 1 litre and 200 ml packs of ‘Real’ brand of fruit juice and
also the ‘Coolers’ range of products. With this acquisition, the Company will be able to de-risk its business by considerably
reducing its reliance on the Nepal plant.

Schedule N - Notes Forming Part Of The Accounts For The Year Ended 31st March,2005

A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies are summarized below:
1. Accounting Convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with applicable mandatory
Accounting Standards and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.

2. Use of estimates
• The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting policies requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported balances of assets & liabilities and
disclosure relating to contingent assets & liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported
amounts of income & expenses during the period.
• Management assesses using external and internal sources whether there is an indication that asset may be
impaired. An impairment occurs where the carrying value exceeds the present value of future cash flows expected
to arise from the continuing use of the assets and its eventual disposal. The impairment loss to be expensed is
determined as the excess of the carrying amount over the higher of the asset’s net sales price or present value
as determined above.
• Contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Investments
Long term investments are stated at cost. A provision for diminution is made to recognize a decline other than
temporary in the nature of value of investment.

4. Sales
Sales are recognized net of returns when goods are supplied in accordance with terms of sale. Sales comprise of sale
price of goods including sales tax. Breakage and leakage claims from customers are charged as expenses upon
approval.

5. Fixed Assets and Depreciation

• Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost includes inward freight, duties and taxes and expenses
incidental to acquisition.
• Depreciation on Fixed Assets has been provided on written down value method at rates specified in Schedule
XIV of the Companies Act.

6. Inventories
Inventories, other than goods in transit, are valued at cost (on FIFO basis) or estimated net realizable value, whichever
is lower, after providing for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, where considered necessary.

7. Deferred Entitlement on LTC :

As per the opinion of the Expert Advisory Committee of the ICAI, the Company has provided liability accruing on
account of deferred entitlement towards LTC in the period in which the employees concerned render their services
even though no expenditure has been incurred on performance of journeys.

8. Foreign Currency Transactions

• Transactions in foreign exchange, other than those covered by forward contracts, are accounted for at the
exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions. Assets and Liabilities, if any, remaining unsettled at the
end of the year, other than those covered by forwards contracts, are translated at the closing rates. Realized
gains and losses on Foreign Exchange transactions are recognized in the Profit and Loss account.
• In respect of transactions covered by the forward contracts, the difference between the contract rate and the
spot rate on the date of the transaction is charged to the Profit and Loss account over the period of contract.

arising from unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses which are recognized to the extent that there is
virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against such deferred tax assets.

transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals of accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash
flows from regular revenue generating; investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.
