Forward Looking Statements
In this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and take informed investment
decisions. This report and other statements - written and oral - that we periodically make, contain forward looking statements that set out anticipated results
based on the management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as ‘anticipate’,
‘estimate’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’, and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance. We cannot
guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in assumptions. The achievement of results is
subject to risks, uncertainties, and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions
prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Readers should bear this in mind. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Topics and Structure

This report combines our financial, operational and sustainability reporting and is addressed to interested users and readers from all fields. This year we
report in detail on how well the Company has performed, what has enabled us to do so and how we are going to carry forward the same into the future.
The report contains information on the detailed profile of the Company, its operations and its people, the Central Theme, the economy and the industry in
addition to the Directors’ Report, Auditors’ Report and the Company financials.
The information on the financial position and financial performance of the Company is based on the requirements of accounting principles generally
accepted in India, Companies Act, 1956 and conformity to other laws and principles wherever required.
External Auditing and Validation

Our reporting is audited by a third party. Karnavat & Co. have audited the financial statements of the Company for the year 2008-09 and have stated
therein that the financial statements present a true and fair view without any qualification. The audit was conducted in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India.
‘Unique’ is the attribute that sets
an entity apart from the throng of
faces. Our record books are filled
with the stories of the ‘unique’.
When Pasteur explored the
nebulous possibility of a vaccine
or when Columbus beheld the
New World, unique instances
came into being representing the
superlative strive to go beyond
the obvious.
So what spurs a unique action? What makes an entity unique?
In simple words, it is the ‘idea’. It is that slight nibble in the grey cells which has fascinated man to rub the flint stones together to bring forth fire
to the day when the desktop came to your room.
Vinati Organics Limited represents this very spirit. This is an organisation that thrives on the inspiration of unique ideas and enjoys the resultant
successes of its innovative solutions. It is the unique facet of the ideas that enabled Vinati Organics Limited to position itself as a powerful
entity in an industry where entry is only a mirage and merely a dream or hope to many.

Incorporated in 1989, Vinati Organics Limited (VOL) has been operating in the
chemical manufacturing industry since 1992. The Company was co-promoted
About Us by Mr. Vinod Saraf along with Maharashtra Petrochemicals Corporation Limited.
The Company has successfully implemented technology which is available to
only few in the world. It has always focused on using a technology that is more
efficient than the previous one. This has enabled it to achieve economies of
scale. VOL produces organic intermediaries and monomers.
VOL primarily produces IBB (Iso-Butylbenzene) and

ATBS (2-Acrylamido 2 Methylpropanesulfonic Acid). Its
manufacturing facilities are located at Mahad and Lote
Parshuram, Maharashtra. IBB and ATBS contribute practically
to whole of its revenue and profits. Since domestic market for
its products is small, the Company exports bulk of its products
to USA, Europe, Asia, Middle East and China. The first
manufacturing unit was installed in Mahad, Maharashtra
in collaboration with Institut of Francais du Petrole (IFP),
France.
Operations With a strong consumer base, which includes some of

the leading companies of the world, the Company
has attained a leadership position. Vinati Organics
is now the world’s largest producer of best quality of
Iso-Butylbenzene (IBB) and N-Butylbenzene (NBB). It
is also only the third company in the world to produce
2-Acrylamido 2-methylpropanesulfonic Acid (ATBS). ATBS is
produced in the Company’s second plant installed at Lote
Parshuram, Maharashtra based on advanced technologies
developed with the aid of National Chemical Laboratories
(NCL), Pune.

Management Discussion And

Analysis
Economy Overview
Financial Year 2008-09 was indeed a very tough one for all economies especially large and advanced economies. The related
side effects spread to Emerging Market Economies like India and China. Inflationary conditions witnessed sharp volatility during this
period. It went upto 13% at around August, 2008 and came down to under 1% towards the end of the period.
During the year 2008-09 and also post this period, large institutions around the globe have faced high distress. Indian economy
witnessed the slowdown as well growing at around 6.7% after growing for over 9% in the preceding 3 financial years. However,
the fundamentals of the economy are still strong. During a time when economies have decelerated, Indian economy has surged
ahead. IIP figures for the first quarter of 2009-10 indicate the quick recovery of the economy. Fiscal deficit, however, still remains
a concern.
Industry Overview
Without any reservation, year 2008-09 was a tough year for the chemical industry. Prices for raw materials skyrocketed and
remained volatile throughout the year. No one in the industry forecast that oil prices would reach nearly $150 per barrel, sending
material costs soaring. Economic conditions around the world, which initially seemed weak but essentially stable, suddenly worsened
dramatically.
Mixed, often conflicting economic signals throughout 2008 made it hard for chemical companies to lock in medium and long-
term commitments. As the reality of a global recession became all but certain, it became increasingly difficult to pass along price
increases, particularly to clients with contracts that were fixed for six to 12 months. The rate of innovation in the chemical industry
continued to slow.
Isobutyl benzene (IBB)

Isobutyl Benzene (IBB) is manufactured out of toluene and propylene. It is an organic, aromatic, neutral, colourless liquid. It is also
known as 2-methyl-1 phenylpropene. Conventionally, isobutyl benzene is produced industrially by the side chain alkylation of
toluene with propylene using an alkali metal catalyst.
IBB is a high value speciality chemical and is a basic raw material for manufacturing Ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory/anti-arthritic/
analgesic medicine for pain management. It is also used in Perfume industry.
The total demand of ibuprofen is estimated at around 22,000 tonnes globally, translating into a consumption of around 18,000
tonnes of IBB. Ibuprofen is mainly manufactured in India, China and the US. India is a net exporter of both IBB and Ibuprofen. The
world market for Ibuprofen is estimated to grow at 5-6% annually.
2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid (ATBS), Sodium salt of ATBS (Na-ATBS), N-tert-Butylacrylamide (TBA)
These specialty monomers have wide applications & mainly in oil-field recovery, water treatment, acrylic fiber manufacturing,
adhesives and personal care products. It is used as Co-Monomer in acrylic fiber industry, Co-Monomer in surfactants for personal
care products, in water treatment chemicals for Corrosion inhibitor silt control, in paper and pulp as a filter aid sizing dispersant
and in mining as a flocculant.
Management Discussion And Analysis
25
Vinati Organics Ltd. (VOL) was established

in 1989 and manufactures specialty organic
intermediaries and monomers. It is listed on
the Bombay Stock Exchange and has over
300 employees.
Acrylonitrile and isobutylene are the key inputs for this chemical which are derivatives of petroleum crude, the price of which has
shot up globally.
A major potential application for the monomer is for EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery). With the big increase in oil prices, many major
companies are in process of developing these projects. The world demand for ATBS is growing steadily and is expected to
increase 2 to 3 fold with the production of enhanced oil recovery polymers.
There are very few manufacturers of these products world-wide. At present there are only 3 manufacturers of ATBS in the world. With
the growth of the above industries in India, these products will find new applications domestically. Demand for ATBS in India at
present is very limited. A major portion of the production in India is exported. The main destinations for exports are Europe, America
and other Asian countries.

Safety & Quality

As a crucial element of any organisation in the manufacturing sector, reputation is built on control over safety and quality. Vinati
Organics Ltd. always gives prime importance and top-most priority to the safety and health of employees and the protection of
the environment. We believe that all accidents are preventable and all identifiable health hazards are containable.
The Company is an ISO 9001:2001 certified Company at both its plants at Mahad & Lote, Maharashtra. The Certificate of
National Safety Award was presented to the Company for outstanding performance in Industrial Safety as runner-up during the
Performance Year 2005.
Technology & Environment

We use innovative methods for operations while at the same time reducing environmental pollution. The Company has devised
scheme to treat waste products and polluting agents and sell them to industries that can re-use them. Efforts are being undertaken
to captively use the products in the plant itself. The technology used at the plant recovers, recycles and purifies and then reuses
the products. The success lies in the fact that the Company converts a large portion of the residuaries after neutralisation into a
low-cost saleable polymer, which can be once again be used in a number of applications. While this does not add significantly
to the revenues, the major benefit is yielded in terms of significant reduction in ETP (effluent treatment plant) load both in terms of
quantity as well as the almost total elimination of organic waste.

Risk Review
Porter’s Five Forces Model of Competition
Determinants
of Buyer Power
An over dependence on a handful of
customers could prove detrimental in the
Threat of event of their attrition. The Company’s strong
New Entrants client list comprises of brand enhancing
international and domestic companies. The
Cost leadership & scale economies in IBB Company’s product customisation capability

Low Rivalry
among Existing Firms
VOL produces specialised chemical products

which requires state-of-art technology available

oligopoly in the 2 products that it manufactures.
However, there are large and established firms
in the segment. The Company has entered into

Low
29
Other Risks
a) Availability of Skilled Personnel
The Company’s success depends upon its ability to attract and retain skilled personnel. Any failure in being able to do so
would adversely affect the business and the operations.
Mitigation
The Company has undertaken expansion programme due to which efficient and skilled management will be the pre-requisite.
The Company is also implementing human resource development programme, survey of employee training, payroll/contracts
etc.
b) Risk of Foreign Exchange
The Company’s revenues are largely generated from exports and hence denominated in foreign currency, predominantly
US Dollars. Given the nature of business, a large proportion of the costs are denominated in Indian rupees (INR) leading to
currency exposure.
Mitigation
The risk is limited to the contribution margin, as the company procures raw material through imports and local purchases and
even locally sourced raw material track import parity price. Even the contribution margin is not fully exposed as long term
contracts have provision to share the forex risk
c) Economic Downturn
A downturn in the economy could adversely affect demand for the products. Chemical industry overall has been affected
during the downturn and there was a downfall in production globally.
Mitigation
Products of VOL are exported to a lot of countries around the world. The Company is expanding its product base at the
same time.
d) Price Risk
The main raw materials to manufacture IBB are petroleum products and hence the prices are linked to that of crude oil.
Weakening of Dollar may cause a drop in margins as most of our export orders are negotiated in this currency.
Mitigation
The Company has hedged itself against such risks. First, they have long term contracts in which the pricing changes regularly
as it is benchmarked to the crude prices, so they don’t suffer because of fluctuating crude. Also, their contracts mention rupee
equivalent, so even the forex loss doesn’t apply to us.
e) Quality Risk
In the Company’s specialized business erratic quality could lead to customer attrition.
Mitigation
The quality of product is monitored rigorously by a dedicated Quality Assurance Department and technically qualified
executives. This Department supervises quality control and assurance requirements in addition to providing technical service
to customers; certifies the sample (specifications) given by the client that will need to be developed by the Company and
provides certificate of approval for what has been produced, thus clearing it for dispatch.
f) Technology Risk
A technology-intensive business, the kind of which the Company is present in, could attract technology obsolescence and
expensive overhaul.
Mitigation
The Company continuously upgrades technical support used in its manufacturing, research and development facilities.
