Navneet -A Brand :Navneet ’s brand initiative extends to four A ’s that are indispensable for achieving business success.

Awareness :

Creating awareness of publishers ’products is an art by itself.Direct contacts with thousands of schools,teaching community and trade are the basics behind this great success.With over 400 employees specially designated to keep direct contacts and explain the benefits of Navneet ’s publications and stationery products is the key strength of Navneet ’s field force.A localized brand before 5 years is now national in all respects and also becoming an international brand, particularly among young NRI ’s.

Availability :Direct contacts with over 60,000 retail outlets and over 20,000 schools by the field force of the Company ensures availability of all products throughout the year.

Acceptance :Navneet ’s content is accepted over the years.Many debates among the education fraternity have ended referring to Navneet ’s content. Continuous delivery of quality content has made users accepting Navneet ’s products without any hesitation.

Affordability :Education has to be for the masses.Spending on education has always been a concern among the parents in our country.Navneet has believed in selling all its products at affordable prices and within reach of the masses.

Creating Shareholders Value :The focus of the Company has always been to create and maximize the Shareholders ’value.As stated last year,SAP implementation has completed one year.The Company did face several issues before settling down successfully.The dedicated team efforts across the Company have paid dividends in implementation.The benefit of such implementation would start accruing hereinafter with the optimum utilization of all its resources. Kaizen Practices at most of the production facilities have increased the productivity and has benefited in proper planning

Page 8: NAVNEET

throughout the year.With such benefit,your Company has decided to implement such practices in material movements and various marketing activities.

The Madhya Pradesh initiative of the Company,last year in a small way and this year in a little better way has proved that quality sells everywhere.It is a great opportunity for the Company to create content for maximum number of titles for this new area and complete the whole range in the next 3 years.With proper planning,the management is confident to achieve its success in Madhya Pradesh.

Navneet ’s Policy on Dividend :For both the business divisions of the Company,no huge capex is required in the near future.With that in mind,the Company continues to have a liberal dividend policy as earlier.Your Company has already paid Rs.5/-per share as an interim dividend and further has proposed a final dividend of Rs.2.50 per share,which make the total dividend for the year under review of Rs.7.50 per share (75%).The total dividend pay out works out to 40.63%against the Company ’s liberal dividend policy of declaring at least 25%.

Business Overview :The Company has basically two major business Divisions,namely“Book Publishing ” and “Paper stationery ”.

Book Publishing :The Book Publishing Division comprises two major categories of books,“Educational Books ” and “Children and General Books ”.

As discussed last year and also as stated by your chairman,static syllabus for last several years in both the states of operations has restricted the growth of Educational Books category.Second hand book market is a dampener for the growth of this category of Books.With the successful launch of the Madhya Pradesh curriculum based books and definite plans of changing curriculum from current year in both the states shows a positive outlook for the next few years for your Company. Children and General books category continues to grow across India and particularly in international markets.With the help of dedicated and creative team within the Company,your Company has been able to successfully launch new products for international markets and also able to conceptualize various products which are accepted by several international buyers with a few changes.Your management is confident on generating huge volumes in this category of publications.

Paper stationery division :The paper stationery Division has two different markets,Domestic and International.

Domestic Market :Your Company basically deals in scholastic stationery products.Thereis lot of competition in domestic stationery market,with many unorganized players,but with the strong brand,consistent business policies (contrary to the trade),the Company ’s policy of creating value addition in each and every product,and systematic distribution systems has helped this business

to grow successfully.The recent‘Tight Bound ’notebook series,a unique concept of binding for the benefit of students has literally surprised the unorganized markets. Creating awareness among institutions for usage of quality products also helps this division to grow rapidly. Your Company has decided to introduce more and more value added products including few office stationery products in the coming years.

International Market :Company ’s stationery business could grow substantially only because of continuous growth in the international market.Competition is growing year after year.Appreciation of the Rupee has further worsened the salability in terms of pricing.With the help of Kaizen practices,your Company has been able to increase the productivity and eventually is able to compete.Surprisingly major US buyers have been focusing sourcing from India instead of fully

Page 9: NAVNEET

relying on China. Your Company has started receiving inquires from such major buyers. Your Company expects good growth in the current year and thereafter.

For International markets also,your Company conceptualizes value added stationery products and have started marketing such products in European markets.

Navneet Publications (India) Ltd Biodata

In Nov.'91, Bookwing Publications and Trading Company was renamed Navneet

Page 11: NAVNEET

Publications (India). Established in the paper trading business, it started a printing press to print books on a job-work basis at Dantali, Gujarat. In Apr.'91, the company entered into an agreement with three publications - Navneet Prakashan Kendra, Vikas Prakashan and Gala Publishers -- whereby it acquired licenses to use the brand names of Navneet, Vikas and Gala. Promoted by the Navneet group, it is managed and controlled by members of the Gala family of Bombay. The company is the market leader in educational books and publications in Maharashtra and Gujarat. The company diversified into the manufacture and export of paper stationery items by setting up an export division at Vasai near Bombay, which became fully operational in 1994. The products are exported to the Gulf and the UK. It came out with a rights-cum-public issue in Mar.'94 to part-finance its expansion-cum-diversification programme. The company implemented the project at Daman for the manufacture of paper stationery items in 1995-96. In 1998, it pioneered a childrens website, www.navneet.com, to offer children the benefits of the phenomenal changes in modern communication brought about by computers and internet. In Jan.'2000, the site ranked 78th among the world's top 100 sites in the children's category. With offices in Ahmedabad, Pune, Nagpur and Madras, it continues to deliver value in education, its vision of excellence giving it the confidence to stride proudly into the new millennium. During the year 1999-2000, the Company allotted 95,28,600 Bonus Equity shares in the ratio of 1:1, increasing the paid up equity capital to Rs. 19.06 crores. Although, the bulk of the business still accrues from the western region, Navneet has already established its presence in 17 more states with its paper stationery and non-educational books business. The company wants to launch its academic books on a national scale. So it is currently working on the content based on the Central Board of Education (CBSE) curriculum, popular in the north and central India. Over the next two years, NPL has planned a phased entry into this Rs 500 crore market. NPL is also believed to be considering acquisitions to improve its penetration in other states. Besides, in addition to its collection of Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati and English books for children, it is now publishing books for children in Bengali, and will soon branch into south Indian languages as well. It eventually plans to spread its wings across 300-odd cities across the country by the end of the year. During March 2002 the Company commenced commercial production of Stationery products at Unit II in Silvassa.

CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH   NAVNEET PUBLICATIONS (INDIA) LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORT 2003-2004  CHAIRMAN'S REPORT  Chairman's Communique  Dear Shareowners,  Once again it gives me immense pleasure to give you an update on the performance of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2004. As all of you know well, the Indian economy surged in most of the Industrial areas of activities, which coupled with a good monsoon during 2003 gave an overall boost. The only factor which restricted growth of the economy including that of your Company was a recessionary trend in the developed countries, particularly the US.  The annual numbers of last year, which represented an 18 month period, are not directly comparable to the numbers under review. Overall the Company did grow well in Export of Publications and Domestic sales of stationery products. As was mentioned last year, due to continuation of the same textbooks (same curriculum) in both areas of our major operations, i.e. in Maharashtra and Gujarat, your Company could not grow in the educational books segment. Rupee appreciation coupled with severe competition from other countries was a major setback to our Exports of stationery products.  In the current year the position of Exports has not really improved in the first quarter. However due to change in the curriculum of few standards in Gujarat, reasonable growth is seen in educational books segment. Our Madhya Pradesh initiative is making inroads in major parts of the State. With the successful launch in the first year, your Company has decided to script a success story in Madhya Pradesh by expanding the product range and best quality books on the similar lines of your Company's success in the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat.  Your Company has decided to downsize the operations of its subsidiary and accordingly the increase in losses accrued till last year will reduce substantially. The

Page 29: NAVNEET

products (CD ROMs) of this Company have been further accepted among the educational fraternity but the present revenues still do not justify economics of the operations. Your Company will expand in this area as and when the technology is accepted well. Till such time the Company will continue to give major thrust to publication of books.  SAP (Business Process Systems) has augured well in synchronising information flow which enabled all round smoothening of operations of the Company. The success is attributable to the dedicated employee force of your Company who have worked very hard and proved that it is one of the best available systems. Your Company has already started reaping the benefits of such integration of all locations and all areas of activities. I once again reiterate that your Company is slowly and gradually moving towards fulfilling its mission.   Shivji K. Vikamsey

The Directors have pleasure in presenting their Eighteenth Annual Report together with the Audited Statement of Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2004.

The Paper Stationery Division has been successful in bringing out innovative ideas in the domestic as well as international market by translating those ideas into well thought of and well positioned quality stationery products.

Appreciation of the rupee did restrict the expected growth in the International Market.

Through visits of technical personnel to developed Western countries, the Company keeps abreast with the advanced Technology Development and through specific programmes introduces, adopts and absorbs these sophisticated technologies.

In view of the above, the Company has been able to achieve a higher production,, accuracy and perfection in printing.

Creating awareness of publishers' products is an art by itself. Direct contacts with thousands of schools, teaching community and trade are the basics behind this great success. With over 400 employees specially designated to keep direct contacts and explain the benefits of Navneet's publications and stationery products is the key strength of Navneet's field force. A localized brand before 5 years is now national in all respects and also becoming an international brand, particularly among young NRI's.

Direct contacts with over 60,000 retail outlets and over 20,000 schools by the field force of the Company ensures availability of all products throughout the year.

Navneet's content is accepted over the years. Many debates among the education fraternity have ended referring to Navneet's content. Continuous delivery of quality content has made users accepting Navneet's products without any hesitation.

Education has to be for the masses. Spending on education has always been a concern among the parents in our country. Navneet has believed in selling all its products at affordable prices and within reach of the masses.

The focus of the Company has always been to create and maximize the Shareholders' value. As stated last year, SAP implementation has completed one year. The Company did face several issues before settling down successfully, The dedicated team efforts across the Company have paid dividends in implementation. The benefit of such implementation would start accruing hereinafter with the optimum utilization of all its resources.

Kaizen Practices at most of the production facilities have increased the productivity and has benefited in proper planning throughout the year. With such benefit, your Company has decided to implement such practices in material movements and various marketing activities.

The Madhya Pradesh initiative of the Company, last year in a small way and this year in a little better way has proved that quality sells everywhere. It is a great opportunity for the Company to create content for maximum number of titles for this new area and complete the whole range in the next 3 years. With proper planning,

For both the business divisions of the Company, no huge capex is required in the near future. With that in mind, the Company continues to have a liberal dividend policy as earlier. Your Company has already paid Rs. 5/- per share as an interim dividend and further has proposed a final dividend of Rs. 2.50 per share, which make the total dividend for the year under review of Rs. 7.50 per share (75%). The total dividend pay out works out to 40.63% against the Company's liberal dividend policy of declaring at least 25%.

The Company has basically two major business Divisions, namely "Book Publishing" and "Paper stationery".

The Book Publishing Division comprises two major categories of books, "Educational Books" and "Children and General Books".

As discussed last year and also as stated by your chairman, static syllabus for last several years in both the states of operations has restricted the growth of Educational Books category. Second hand book market is a dampener for the growth of this category of Books. With the successful launch of the Madhya Pradesh curriculum based books and definite plans of changing curriculum from current year in both the states shows a positive outlook for the next few years for your Company.

Children and General books category continues to grow across India and particularly in international markets. With the help of dedicated and creative team within the Company, your Company has been able to successfully launch new products for international markets and also able to conceptualize various products which are accepted by several international buyers with a few changes. Your management is confident on generating huge volumes in this category of publications.

Your Company basically deals in scholastic stationery products. There is lot of competition in domestic stationery market, with many unorganized players, but with the strong brand, consistent business policies (contrary to the trade), the Company's policy of creating value addition in each and every product, and systematic distribution systems has helped this business to grow successfully. The recent 'Tight Bound' notebook series, a unique concept of binding for the benefit of students has literally surprised the unorganized markets. Creating awareness among institutions for usage of quality products also helps this division to grow rapidly.

Your Company has decided to introduce more and more value added products including few office stationery products in the coming years.

Company's stationery business could grow substantially only because of continuous growth in the international market. Competition is growing year after year. Appreciation of the Rupee has further worsened the salability in terms of pricing. With the help of Kaizen practices, your Company has been able to increase the productivity and eventually is able to compete. Surprisingly major US buyers have been focusing sourcing from India instead of fully relying on China. Your Company has started receiving inquires from such major buyers.

For International markets also, your Company conceptualizes value added stationery products and have started marketing such products in European markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s) about industry outlook, opportunities, threats, risks and concerns.

In the case of Publications business, as explained last year, the primary reason for lower sales was that your Company saw static syllabus for last several years in both the states of its operations.

Stationery sales in domestic market did better, but exports of stationery products faced dual challenges. One was the appreciation of INR against USD, the other being the competition from various countries. The competition from these countries was mainly on account of disparity in currency values of these competing

Your Company has a consistently bright future for at least next 3 years. Publication business is expected to grow because of continuous change in syllabus in the 2 states where we operate. Gujarat has already had an opportunity this year for change in syllabus of 2 standards. Maharashtra will have that benefit from next year as announced by the state government. The Madhya Pradesh initiative, though expectedly slow in progress, has started showing signs of a long and sustainable growth engine for your Company.

Stationery exports have also started looking up. Most of the developing countries are keen to buy from India as an alternate assured supplier. Your Company has already started receiving inquiries from big buyers from developing countries.

The operating margins of your Company have reduced in last 2 years mainly because of the product mix in revenue streams. Stationery offers lower margins than Publications. In the previous accounting period of 18 months, your Company had 2 lean periods. Hence the margins appear better this year compared to last year.

With various progressive initiatives undertaken together with focused attention on Publications revenues, your Company is likely to earn better operating margins in the coming years.

(4) Company was enjoying debt free status few years ago and now it has huge borrowing at the year-end. Why?

As you know, your Company has changed its accounting year from September to March last year. Every September, your Company enjoys and will enjoy debit status-this year as well as in future. Earlier too, each year your Company raised short term debts from banks to meet its peak level working capital requirement typically during the months February to May. All these loans are repaid fully during June to September every year.

Paper prices have remained stable for last 8 months. Recently it has moved up marginally. Your Company does not expect a rise in paper prices beyond 3%.

In the scenario of change in syllabus, it becomes very important for the Company to have facilities to print all required publications in very short time, for which, Company will modernize few of its printing facilities in the current year. Overall the capex investments of the Company will be around 1000 lacs.

The Company's CD-ROM products were well accepted among the student community. However, the volumes did not provide independent sustainability to the Company. This experience has been consistent for last 2 years and hence your Company has down sized the operations of its subsidiary. The Company will continue to

The Company had taken exposure to foreign currency in the form of Debtor, Borrowing and forward contracts meant for hedging against open debtors in Rupee appreciating scenario.
