FINANCIAL RESULTS Rs. in Thousands Income Expenditure EBIDTA Interest Depreciation Profit before tax (PBT) Provision for Taxes Profit after Tax 2010-11 2009- 10 1739082 1563321 192734 47 16926 175761 35663 140098 1400709 1341958 83311 1679 22881 58751 12518 46233 The economic environment for the domestic business continued to remain conducive for most part of the year and all major players in the watch industry witnessed strong growth, which was largely driven by fashion and youth segment and expansion of the retail footprint. The high inflation rate and rising cost of commodities prices, if not contained, is likely to adversely impact the consumer sentiment and the overall economic growth environment in the year ahead. The year 2010-11 has been a year of major transformation, during which, your Company has delivered its highest ever volume, revenue and profitability performance. Sales Revenue grew by 25% at Rs 174 Crore and Profit before tax grew by 203% at Rs 14 Crore. The year begun with a leadership change in the management team and the subsequent finalization of your Company’s three years strategic plan. Under the new leadership, several key initiatives were taken to drive efficiencies across the organization and also align all stakeholders of the Company with the goals to create a strong sense of vision and focus for the business. Some of the key marketing initiatives taken were as under; • Revamped the product portfolio and introduced new styles with improved aesthetics and at the same time generated a higher gross margin for the business. • Launched New Brands – to target different consumer segments and widen the appeal of the Timex Group Portfolio. The brands launched this year were; o o o o Mark Ecko Versace Tarun Tahiliani Helix : in the fashion segment : in Luxury fashion segment : in the premium women’s segment : in the fast growing youth segment • Partnered with “ICC Cricket World Cup 2011” event as the “Official Product Licensee” • Increased media spend with a focus on Television Advertising. A new brand television commercial was developed for the Timex brand during the year to reinforce the “conversation starters” theme. This campaign was well received by trade and consumers. • Visual Merchandising development. A marketing toolkit was conceptualized and executed across points of sale in the different store formats. This has helped build a consistent image for the different brands across the country. • Expanded the number of franchised retail stores, “The Time Factory”, to 76 during the last year. 4 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS THE INDIAN WATCH MARKET The size of Indian watch market is estimated to be at Rs 5000 Crores of which 60% of the business is contributed by the organized sector. The brands at the premium end of the market and in the fashion and youth segments continue to grow significantly faster than other brands. While the unit growth is driven by low price unbranded products, the growth at the mid and higher price points is driven by creating higher value through improved styling and technology features. The growth in the market has been led by marketing investments made by several Indian and Global brands (including the launch of several new brands) which are increasing their focus on the Indian market. This increased competition and marketing investment is a good sign; since we believe this will drive the growth of the industry, which is still in a nascent stage when compared to penetration in developed countries. The entry of several brands especially in the Fashion and Luxury segments of the market has resulted in increased competition for the rather limited retail space available in the multi brand watch retail environment. And in turn this has led to further investment and development of “modern retail” channels to meet the increased demand. The industry has overall witnessed an increase in the contribution of “modern retail” to the overall business. The development of this channel, while enhancing the consumer buying experience in terms of an international environment to shop in, is leading to an increase in margin expectations from the branded companies. In view of this, companies which are in a position to offer a portfolio of brands are better positioned for faster and profitable growth. OUTLOOK/OPPORTUNITES & KEY CHALLENGES The economic growth of India and the changing life style of the Indian consumers (especially the relatively younger consumers) who are aspiring to a more international way of life on account of the growing awareness of the global fashion trends, bodes well for the growth of the watch industry. And your company is well positioned to take advantage of this. The company has an unique advantage of having several international brands with domestic manufacturing capabilities. This allows international products to be sold in India at prices which offer tremendous “Value for Money” to the consumer. The company also boasts of a portfolio of seven Global brands and the presence of its own franchised retail chain, “The Time Factory”, comprising of 76 stores. This allows TGIL to participate at all ends of the value chain which in turn enhances margins. By doing so, the company is also better positioned to control its own destiny more effectively and this provides a sustainable growth platform for the business in the years ahead. In addition, your Company continues to enjoy the support of the Timex Group Global Design Centre located in Milan and also Global Supply Chain organization to support the business in India which has resulted in improved technology and styling of the products. The watch industry has changed significantly over the last few years and watches are being used as a fashion accessory more than a time telling device. This has resulted in a trend for multiple watch ownership;” A different watch for different occasions”. This is an encouraging trend for the industry and could propel industry growth significantly in future years and TGIL with its wide array of brands and styles, ranging from Fashion and Classics to Sports can take full advantage of this. In addition, India continues to be a key strategic market for the Timex Group and therefore enjoys easy access to its global resources across all functional areas, which should help improve our operational efficiencies due to the scale of the Group’s global operations. Finally, at TGIL, we are benefiting from the operating leverage we now enjoy as a business and this means that future growth will be more profitable. RISKS / THREATS The increase in the commodities prices, increased cost of sourcing from China and limited vendor capacity for the critical watch parts in India are resulting in the increase in the sourcing costs of key components. The rising input costs shall have an adverse impact on the operating margins, unless mitigated through various measures to cut costs (without compromising quality). Several initiatives are being developed to address this risk. 5 The ‘Tsunami’ in Japan has severely impacted the supply of watch movements in the last few months, which has since improved. Re-occurrence of such disasters in future could cause a supply chain risk for the Category. In addition to this, increasing consumer preference for usage of mobile phones as a time keeping device instead of watches also pose a major threat especially with the category of consumers who still use a watch to tell time. This is being suitably addressed by several marketing initiatives by promoting watches as a fashion accessory as indicated in the section above. GOVERNMENT POLICY Your Company has been actively involved with the “All India Federation of Horological Industries”, an apex body of Horological Industry in India. Your Company together with AIFHI has been taking up issues concerning the Watch Industry and your Company in particular, with the various government agencies. With the active participation by majority of brands in the Category, AIFHI has released a white paper on the industry, highlighting the key issues for which a change in Government Policy is recommended and taken up with the respective authorities for the overall growth of the industry. We shall continue our efforts to represent the interests of the Industry and your own Organisation. FINANCE Your Company has been able to manage its cash flow through improved collections and utilized the surplus cash to reduce the borrowings and accounts payable, which has resulted in savings in Interest costs despite firming up of Interest Rates. The Company does not hold any fixed deposits from the public, shareholders & employees. There were no overdue / unclaimed deposits as on 31 March 2011. During the year under review, the Company made payment aggregating to Rs.32.58 Crore by way of Central, State and local sales taxes and duties as against Rs. 30.06 Crore in the previous year. Your Company is also paying dividend on its Preference Shares at the agreed coupon rate. SEGMENT WISE REPORTING The segment wise information for watches and other activities are provided in the Notes to the Accounts. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY Your Company has endeavoured to continuously improve the internal controls both relating to financial reporting and Operations. Your Company has well established procedures for internal control, which are commensurate with its size and operations. The internal control mechanism comprises of a well-defined organization, who undertake time bound audits and report their findings to the Audit Committee, documented policy guidelines, predetermined authority levels and processes. The systems and operations are regularly reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure and review their effectiveness and implementation. The Statutory Auditors of the Company also attend these meetings and convey their views on the adequacy of internal control systems as well as financial disclosures. The Audit Committee also issues directives for enhancement in scope and coverage of specific areas, wherever felt necessary. HUMAN RESOURCES “Human Resources” continues to be a major thrust area in Your Company, which is highly critical for business expansion and growth. Your Company provides a challenging work environment that encourages meritocracy at all levels and has believed in an environment that fosters accomplishment, ownership, creativity and mutual respect.

Background Timex Group India Limited (TGIL or the Company), a subsidiary of Timex Group Luxury Watches B.V. (formerly Timex Watches B.V.), is a limited liability Company incorporated on 4 October 1988 under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange in India. The Company’s business consists of manufacture and trade of watches and rendering of related after sales service. The Company also provides accounting and information and technology support to group companies. 2. Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements are prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (‘GAAP’) in India and comply with the accounting standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and the presentational requirements of the Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable. 3. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples of such estimates include estimated provision for doubtful debts, warranties, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans and estimated useful life of fixed assets. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the actual results are known or materialised. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised in accordance with the requirements of the respective accounting standard. 4. Fixed assets and depreciation Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation/amortisation. Cost is inclusive of freight, duties, taxes and any other directly attributable costs to bring the assets to their working condition for intended use. Depreciation on tangible assets other than leasehold land and leasehold improvements is provided under the straight line method over the useful life as estimated by the management or the derived useful life as per Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is lower. Depreciation on the following categories of fixed assets is provided at rates that are higher than the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV: • • • Plant and machinery (including office equipment) at rates ranging from 4.75% per annum to 100% per annum based on technical evaluation. Furniture and fixtures at the rate of 20% per annum. Tools and moulds are fully depreciated in the year of manufacture / purchase. Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition/installation. Depreciation on sale/deduction from fixed assets is provided for upto the date of sale/adjustment, as the case may be. Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease. Leasehold improvements are depreciated under the straight line method over the lowest of the following: (i) period of the lease (ii) useful life as estimated by management (iii) derived useful life as per Schedule XIV. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life of 5 years. Assets costing upto Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. During the previous year, the Company had revised its estimate of residual values of certain items of office equipment, leasehold improvement, IT equipment and furniture and fixture and had provided accelerated depreciation thereon amounting to Rs. 3,230 thousand. 31 5. Impairment The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date in accordance with Accounting Standard – 28 on ‘Impairment of Assets’ to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss account. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 6. 7. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories includes all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, the weighted average cost method is used. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. Finished goods and work-in-progress include appropriate share of allocable overheads. Finished goods held for the purpose of demonstration are amortised over a period of three years after deducting residual value. Employee benefits The Company’s obligations towards various employee benefits have been recognised as follows: Short term benefit All employee benefits payable/available within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages and bonus etc., are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which the employee renders the related service. Post employment benefits In respect of the defined contribution plan in the form of Superannuation, the Trustees of the Scheme have entrusted the administration of the Scheme to the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Annual contribution to the LIC is recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account. Charge for the year in respect of unfunded defined benefit plan in the form of gratuity has been ascertained based on actuarial valuation at the year end using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the valuation date having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Provident Fund (PF): In respect of certain employees, the Company deposits contribution with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and will have no obligation to pay further amounts. Accordingly, this plan is considered as a defined contribution plan. For other employees, the Company contributes to the PF Trust which is administered by trustees of an independently constituted Trust recognised by the Income-tax Act, 1961. Contributions, including shortfall, if any, to the Trust are charged to the profit and loss account on an accrual basis. As the provident fund scheme has a guaranteed return linked with that under EPF Scheme, 1952, the same has been considered as a defined benefit plan. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Other long term benefits Compensated absences are in the nature of other long term employee benefits. Cost of long term benefit by way of accumulating compensated absences that are expected to be availed after a period of 12 months from the year end are recognised when the employees render the service that increases their entitlement to future compensated absences. 32 The liability in respect of compensated absences is provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary at the year end. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Profit and Loss Account. 8. Revenue recognition Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on delivery of goods to the buyer which coincides with transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership. The amount recognised as sale is inclusive of excise duty and excludes sales tax and trade and quantity discounts. Revenue from services is recognised on rendering of services to customers on accrual basis. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis. 9. Foreign currency transactions Foreign exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account of the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies remaining unsettled as at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates on that date and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. 10. Warranties Warranty costs are estimated by the management on the basis of past experience. Provision is made for the estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the year of sale of goods. 11. Taxation Income tax expense comprises current tax/fringe benefit tax (that is amount of tax for the year determined in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing difference between accounting income and taxable income for the period). The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted as at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realisation. Such assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realisation. However, where there are carried forward losses or unabsorbed depreciation under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. The credits arising from Minimum Alternate Tax paid are recognised as receivable only if there is reasonable certainty that the Company will have sufficient taxable income in future years in order to utilize such credits. 12. Leases Lease rentals in respect of assets taken on operating lease are charged on a straight-line basis to the Profit and Loss Account. Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight line basis over the lease term. 13. Other Provisions and Contingent Liabilities A provision arising from claims, litigation, assessment, fines, penalties, etc. is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current management estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that have risen from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise. When there is a possible obligation or present obligation where the likelihood of an outflow is remote, no disclosure or provision is made. Provision for sales returns is recognised to the extent of estimated margin on expected returns based on past trends. 14. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. 33 SCHEDULE - 15 NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 1.
