from its inception in 1976 as Head of Internal Audit and held important positions of Chief Accountant, Marketing Manager,
General Manager - Marketing, Vice President - Sales & Marketing and eventually as Chief Executive of the said Division

of profits under Section 349 as explained earlier, Mr. Gupte could not be paid remuneration as per the terms approved by

its meeting held on 30th January 2006 decided to revise the remuneration payable to Mr. C.R. Gupte with effect from 1 s '

During the current year as per the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement approved by the Bombay High Court by its order dated 8th June
2005, the specified net current assets of the Plastic Products Division have been transferred to RELPOL Plastics Products Limited (formerly
known as NOCIL Petrochemicals Limited, a business associate of Reliance Industries Limited) with effect from 20lh July 2005 which was
the "Effective Date" in terms of the said Scheme of Arrangement. Consequently as mentioned in the previous Annual Report the Rubber
Chemicals business remains with the Company and accordingly the core business of your Company will be manufacture and sale of
rubber chemicals.
You are aware that the net worth of the Company which was completely eroded as on 30th September 2003 due to the accumulated
losses of the Petrochemicals Division, has become positive on account of the transfer of certain liabilities of the Petrochemicals Division
to Relene Petrochemicals Private Limited under the Scheme of Arrangement and your Company has ceased to be a sick company under
the provisions of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. You will be pleased to know that BIFR has by its order
dated 30th November 2005 declared that your Company is no longer a sick company.
Consequent to the demerger of the divisions, the Company during the year made provisions and has written back liabilities pertaining to
such divisions as per the understanding and the terms of the demerger.
DIVIDEND
We are pleased to announce that considering the healthy performance of the rubber chemicals business subsequent to the restructuring
of your Company, the Board has recommended payment of dividend of 5% on the equity share capital of the Company.
TRANSFER OF UNPAID DIVIDEND TO GENERAL REVENUE ACCOUNT OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
As per the provisions of section 205-C of the Companies Act, 1956 all unpaid dividends including and upto final dividend for the year
1997-98 have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund.
PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY
The turnover of the Company for the period under review was Rs.398 crores as compared to Rs.440 crores during the 18 month period
ended 31 st March 2005. The production of rubber chemicals and their intermediates was 30922 MT for the year under review. The
production of finished products during the year was higher by 5% than that of the corresponding previous period.
•J N0C1L \
During the year under review the Rubber Chemicals business witnessed relatively stable market conditions as compared to the previous
year and showed a growth in both domestic as well as export market. Despite stiff competition the Company was in a position to record
a positive growth in its volumes both in the domestic as well as international market. The high prices of natural rubber resulted in
slowing down of production of some of the non tyre customers and the continued import of low priced rubber chemicals from China
remained a major cause for concern. During the year under review the Company was able to secure a favourable decision from the
appropriate authorities in the anti - dumping proceedings. However, some of the products were not included by the authorities and
hence these products continue to be imported in large volumes at low prices. Even though the decision is inadequate in its scope and
coverage, it will to some extent help in curtailing the rampant dumping of low priced rubber chemicals in the country.
There was some relief on the raw material front as the volatility in the price of raw material abated for some time which resulted in
favourable input cost than what was anticipated at the beginning of the year. A fairly exhaustive shut down of the Plant was carried out
after a gap of nearly two years.
During the year under review a number of process improvements were completed resulting in further improvement in cost and quality
of the products. As a result of extensive development work, new products were introduced and commercial production was started in
these products.
The Company has undertaken various energy conservation and other efficiency measures due to which there was an improvement in the
consumption norms of utilities and raw materials.
During the year under review there was temporary disruption of work due to unprecedented rains on 26th July 2005 but all the plants
were put back in operation within a short time by taking prompt corrective and preventive actions.
EXPORTS
The Company has been successful in achieving export of rubber chemicals of a total value of Rs. 146 crores during the year under review
signifying a growth of about 44% as compared to the previous period. The increased volumes and better pricing in the international
market contributed largely to this better performance. The Company was able to finalise contracts with major international buyers for
their annual requirement of rubber chemicals. The Company was successful in obtaining the approvals from some of the customers for
newly developed products which are expected to start contributing to the business very soon. The Company continues to maintain very
strong long term relationship with all its domestic as well as international customers who have accepted the status of the Company as
one of the leading manufacturers of rubber chemicals.
The Management of the Company felt the need to revalue certain class of Fixed Assets of the Company in order to reflect the true value of
these assets as on the date of the Balance Sheet as on 31 st March 2006. The revaluation was done by an approved valuer. The market value
of these assets which have been revalued now stand at Rs. 166.34 Crores as against Rs.64.75 Crores computed on the historical cost basis.
FIXED DEPOSIT
As at 31 st March 2006 fixed deposits amounting to Rs. 0.42 crores have not been claimed by the depositors from the Company. The fixed
deposits which have matured on or before 31 st March 1999 but remained outstanding since then have been transferred to Investor
Education & Protection Fund as required under Section 205 C of the Companies Act, 1956.
INSURANCE
The Company has taken appropriate steps to insure all the properties and insurable interest of the Company as required under the
various legislative enactments. The Company was able to recover a sum of Rs.2.21 crores from the Insurance Company by way of
settlement towards material loss and loss of profit on account of stoppage of production due to the impact of flooding in the plant on 26*
July 2005.
The Company has continued its efforts to ensure the health, safety and environment of the employees and the surrounding area by
setting up state of the art technology to monitor the various environmental and other parameters within the plant premises. The
employees of the Company as well as those of its contractors are being given extensive training in handling of hazardous chemicals, fire
fighting and first aid. The Company also arranged training programmes for the drivers of chemical tankers to enable them to handle
emergencies on road thereby ensuring safety of the general public. The Company has been monitoring the health of all its own as well
as contractor's employees through regular medical check ups.
The Company continues to be certified for ISO 9000 (Quality Management Systems) and ISO 14001 (Environment Management Systems)
as well as for OHSAS - 18001 (Occupational Health & Safety System Standards).

•S N O C I L I
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of Rubber Chemicals. It has manufacturing facilities at TTC
Industrial Area in Thane and Regional sales offices at Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Kolkatta.
The rubber chemicals manufactured by the Company are mainly used by the tyre industry and also by various other industries
manufacturing rubber products. These chemicals not only facilitate the vulcanization process of rubber they also improve and
enhance the life of rubber products. The Company is constantly working towards achieving further improvement in technological
and operational efficiency of the existing products in their application. It also strives to develop new products to increase its
participation in the market and to enlarge its product range.
The overall increase in the worldwide demand for tyres and rubber based products has presented a golden opportunity to the
Company to embark upon developing of new products and on expanding of the volume of its existing products. The Company is
in the process of acquiring a plot of land in a suitable industrial area for augmenting the manufacturing capacities of some of its
key products. During the year the Company has been able to achieve substantial growth in its business and is confident that this
trend will continue in future so that its position as a leader in the business of rubber chemicals both within and outside the country
is maintained in the future.
High crude prices are certainly a matter of concern since these not only drive our energy costs very high but also push prices of our
raw materials up. This trend is already being felt. Last couple of quarters, we have been witnessing certain amount of erosion in
Rubber Chemicals prices mainly caused by a temporary slowdown in the Rubber Industry due to very high natural rubber and
synthetic rubber prices. However a correction is expected in a reasonable period.
3. PRODUCTWISE PERFORMANCE
;
The rubber chemicals business was able to improve its performance during the year due to relatively stable market conditions.
There was a growth in the volume of tyre business but the volumes in the non tyre business declined due to large imports of
Rubber Chemicals particularly from China, at unrealistically low prices. However, due to reasonable market corrections in the
selling prices of the finished products, the Company was able to show good results during the year. The increase in the sales
volumes of rubber chemicals and better pricing in the international market contributed to a better performance in exports by the
Company. The business has been able to prove its intrinsic robustness and strengths as the quality of its finished products is well
accepted by all its domestic as well as foreign customers. The Company expects that the demand for rubber products is likely to
continue to increase due to relatively strong global economy and substantial investments in infrastructure projects in the country
and both are driving forces for Rubber Chemicals.
4. BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The rubber chemicals businesses expected to show a decent growth in the near future which should increase the demand for the
Company's products. The well established and wide marketing network which the Company has created which is in turn fully
supported by operations of the manufacturing facilities should enable the Company to meet this growing demand of rubber
chemicals both within and outside the country. The quality of the rubber chemicals manufactured by the Company is very well
accepted by both domestic and international customers.
The Company is in the process of increasing the capacity of some of its key products by debottlenecking and also through
technical developments based on ongoing Research & Development efforts. It also intends to take up the manufacture of some
critical new products which will not only help in the overall growth of the Company but will also help in achieving special status
in the Rubber Industry. The Company also proposes to set up additional manufacturing facilities for some of its key products at a
suitable alternate site.
During the year under review the Company was able to secure a favourable decision from the appropriate authority in the anti-
dumping proceedings in some of the products. While the decision is inadequate in its scope and coverage, it will to some extent
help in curtailing the rampant dumping of low priced rubber chemicals in the country.
5. RISKS AND CONCERNS
One of the major risk being faced by the Company is from the rampant dumping of some of the key products manufactured by it.
With the reduction in global prices of rubber chemicals towards the end of the year it has become easier for some of the foreign
manufacturers to offload their excess production in India at relatively low prices thereby creating problems for the domestic
industries. Even though the Government has imposed anti dumping duties these are not enough and the industry continues to
suffer the effects of dumping as some of the products have not been included by the authorities in the scope of the anti dumping
21
•JNOC!L S- NATIONAL ORGANIC CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
duties and these products continue to be imported in large volumes at very low prices. Over the past few years the rubber
chemicals business has also become very competitive due to the efforts being made by some of the major players particularly from
China, Korea etc. to acquire a larger market share of the global/regional business.
The Company has engaged the services of professionals for tabulating the risks faced by the various functions of the Company
and to prepare a framework for minimization of such risks. On the basis of the report submitted by the consultant, the company
prepared the formal risk management framework and minimization procedures which was presented and adopted by the Board of
Directors at their meeting held on 30th May, 2006. The Company plans to take this exercise forward so as to monitor the risks on
a regular basis and strive to minimize the risks.
6. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE - OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The Company has settled all the secured liabilities of the erstwhile Petrochemicals Division under the Scheme of Arrangement and
now there are no encumbrances on the fixed assets of the Company. The Company has been able to obtain working capital
facilities from two banks and is now confident of meeting all its financial commitments as well as raising necessary finances for
meeting the costs of the various expansion projects proposed to be undertaken by the Company. The Management has revalued
certain classes of fixed assets of the Company in order to reflect the true value of these assets. As on 3151 March 2006 the market
value of these assets is Rs.166.34 crores as against Rs.64.75 crores computed on the historical cost basis.
The Company has in place adequate Internal Control Systems and procedures covering all the financial and operating functions.
These systems and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the management regarding maintenance of
the appropriate accounting records, monitoring the economy and efficiency of operations, protecting the assets of the Company
from losses and ensuring the reliability of financial and operational information and proper compliance with the statutory enactments
and the rules and regulations made thereunder. Some of the significant features of the Internal controls systems and procedures
are as follows:
Appropriate delegation of authority limits with responsibility for incurring capital and revenue expenditures.
Approval and monitoring of annual revenue budget for all operating and service functions.
Procedure for approval of capital budget proposals and monitoring the expenditure on such acquisitions.
Formulating and reviewing the annual and long term business plans.
A comprehensive code of conduct for ensuring the integrity of financial reporting, ethical conduct, regulatory compliances
and conflict of interest, if any.
Review of the operations and financial plans in key business areas by way of monthly management meetings.
Appointment of an independent consultant for conducting internal audit for reporting to the Management and the Audit
Committee the adequacy and compliance with the internal controls and the efficiency and effectiveness of operations.
An Audit Committee of the Board of Directors which is functional since 1987 regularly reviews the findings of the internal
auditors, adequacy of internal controls, compliance with the accounting standards as wellas recommends to the Board the
quarterly and annual results of the Company and appointment of Auditors. The Audit Committee also reviews the related
party transactions, entered into by the Company during each quarter.
8. MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN RESOURCES
The Company has 140 Management employees and 246 Non-Management employees at all the locations. The industrial relations
have remained cordial throughout the year. The Company has entered into a long term settlement with NOCIL-RCD Employees
Union which is valid up to December 2006.
9. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

expectations or predictions may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations.

I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the generally accepted
accounting principles in India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, except for certain fixed assets which have
been revalued. (Refer note 2 of schedule 18 below)
2. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates
and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between actual results and estimates
are recognised in the period in which the results are known/materialise.
3. Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction or at revalued amounts less accumulated depreciation, amortisation
and impairment, if any.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will
flow to the enterprise and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. The intangible assets are recorded at cost and are
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
4. Impairment of Assets
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged
to the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognised in prior
accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount.
Finance Leases
Assets taken on finance lease are accounted for as fixed assets in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS 19) on "Leases",
issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Accordingly, the assets are accounted at fair value. Lease payments
are apportioned between finance charge and reduction of outstanding liability.
Operating Leases
Assets taken on lease under which all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified
as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as expenses on accrual basis in accordance with
the respective lease agreements.
6. Depreciation
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on straight line method in accordance with the Companies Act, 1956. Cost of
leasehold land is written off over the period of lease. Depreciation on fixed assets revalued is provided on straight line
method and charged over the residual life of the asset. The additional charge of depreciation on account of revaluation is
withdrawn from revaluation reserve and credited to Profit and Loss Account.
7. Investments
Investments classified as long term investments are stated at cost. Provision is made to recognise a decline, other than
temporary, in the value of investments.
8. Inventories
Items of inventories are measured at lower of the cost or net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprise all costs of
purchase (net of CENVAT and sales tax set-off), cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. Cost of stores and spares, raw materials, trading and other products is determined on
weighted average basis. Cost of stock-in-process and finished stocks is determined by absorption costing method.

9. Retirement benefits
Contributions payable to the Company's Superannuation and Provident funds are charged to revenue. Contributions payable
to gratuity fund and provision for additional gratuity are charged to revenue on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the
end of each financial year.
Long service benefits payable to eligible employees are provided based on valuation at the Balance Sheet date made by
independent actuaries.
Cenvat Gredit available is accounted by recording materials purchased net of excise duty. Cenvat credit availed of is accounted
on adjustment against excise duty payable on despatch of finished goods.
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the original rate of exchange in force at the time transactions are effected.
Exchange differences arising on repayment of foreign currency liabilities incurred for the purpose of acquiring imported
fixed assets are adjusted in the carrying amount of the respective fixed assets. Exchange differences arising on settlement of
other transactions are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
Monetary items (other than those related to acquisition of imported fixed assets) denominated in foreign currency are
restated using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the Balance Sheet and the resulting net exchange difference is
recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. The exchange gain/loss arising on restatement of foreign currency liability
relating to imported fixed assets is adjusted in the value of the related fixed assets.
In case of monetary items which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the exchange rate on
the date of such contracts and the year end rate is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. Any profit/loss arising on
cancellation of forward exchange contract is recognised as income or expense of the year. Premium/Discount arising on
such forward exchange contracts is amortised as income/expense over the life of the contract.
(b) Revenue in respect of insurance/other claims, interest, commission etc. is recognised only when it is reasonably
certain that the ultimate collection will be made.

9. Inventories
Items of inventories are measured at lower of the cost or net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprise all costs of purchase
(net of CENVAT and sales tax set-off), cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost of stores and spares, raw materials, trading and other products is determined on weighted average
basis. Cost of stock-in-process and finished stocks is determined by absorption costing method.
10. Retirement benefits
Contributions payable to the Company's Superannuation and Provident funds are charged to revenue. Contributions payable to
gratuity fund and provision for additional gratuity are charged to revenue on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of
each financial year.
Long service benefits payable to eligible employees are provided based on valuation at the Balance Sheet date made by
independent actuaries.
Accrued leave has been provided at year end on actuarial basis.
11. Accounting of CENVAT credit
Cenvat credit available is accounted by recording materials purchased net of excise duty. Cenvat credit availed of is accounted
on adjustment against excise duty payable on despatch of finished goods.
12. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the original rate of exchange in force at the time transactions are effected.
Exchange differences arising on repayment of foreign currency liabilities incurred for the purpose of acquiring imported fixed
assets are adjusted in the carrying amount of the respective fixed assets. Exchange differences arising on settlement of other
transactions are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
Monetary items (other than those related to acquisition of imported fixed assets) denominated in foreign currency are restated
using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the Balance Sheet and the resulting net exchange difference is recognised in
the Profit and Loss Account. The exchange gain/loss arising on restatement of foreign currency liability relating to imported
fixed assets is adjusted in the value of the related fixed assets.
In case of monetary items which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the exchange rate on the
date of such contracts and the year end rate is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. Any profit/loss arising on cancellation
of forward exchange contract is recognised as income or expense of the year. Premium/Discount arising on such forward
exchange contracts is amortised as income/expense over the life of the contract.
13. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of cost of such
assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All
other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
14. Revenue recognition
(a) Revenue on sale of products is recognised when the products are despatched to customers, all significant contractual
obligations have been satisfied and the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably expected. Sales are stated net of
returns and sales tax collected.
(b) Revenue in respect of insurance/other claims, interest, commission etc. is recognised only when it is reasonably certain
that the ultimate collection will be made.
15. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current tax, deferred tax and fringe benefit tax (FBT). Current tax and deferred tax are accounted for in
accordance with Accounting Standard (AS 22) on "Accounting for Taxes on Income", issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid/recovered from the tax authorities using the
applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for future tax consequences attributable to timing differences
between taxable income and accounting income, that are capable of reversing in one or more subsequent periods and are
measured at relevant enacted/substantively enacted tax rates. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company reassesses unrealised
deferred tax assets, to the extent they become reasonably certain or virtually certain of realisation, as the case may be. FBT is
recognised in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Guidance note on FBT issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
16. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognised when there is a present obligation as a
result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Contingent liabilities are not recognised, but
are disclosed in the notes. Contingent Assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
