This year has been one of the most exciting ones for MoserBaer as your company successfully transformed itself from asingle business into a multi-technology business organization.It gives me great pride in stating that our newly articulatedvision of touching lives through technology products andservices encapsulates our commitment to embrace nextgeneration technology to harness the immeasurable powerof our knowledge capital to set new technology benchmarks.

It gives me great satisfaction to share with you that many ofthe events and milestones your company achieved during theyear will take us closer to this vision.

In addition to the above, 2007 was also a year of tremendousfinancial accomplishments which we believe has set the stagefor long-term sustainable growth. Our revenues rose 20% toINR 20,740 million and profit after tax increased by 23.5times to INR 1,098 million when compared to the previousyear. Along with our financial performance, 2006-07 wasnoteworthy as we achieved many distinctions and entered anumber of new businesses.

BUSINESS OVERVIEWOPTICAL STORAGE MEDIA

The year has been a landmark one for our optical business.While the business reverted to normal profitability after twolong years, more importantly, your company has been able totransition itself into a technology leadership position. Forinstance, your company was the first company in the world toship out the next generation HD DVD. Also with theacquisition of OM&T, B.V, an erstwhile subsidiary of Philips,your company is amongst the very few companies in the worldto have Blu-ray disc manufacturing capabilities. We areconfident that your Company is prepared to lead the nextgeneration curve in the Blue laser based products.

The information explosion continues without any respite andso does the demand for cost efficient storage. On the back ofthe R&D efforts, Moser Baer’s optical media productscontinue to be one of lowest cost per megabyte storageproducts, a milestone, which we believe, will drive robustdemand for our products over the foreseeable future.

PV BUSINESS

As costs of conventional energy sources are rapidly rising, weare continually reminded of the need to find alternate sourcesof energy. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energies are infinitein their supply and minus the impact of global warming andair pollution.

We are leveraging our corecompetencies in R&D and manufacturing toemerge as a significant player in the global photovoltaicindustry. While shipments from the first phase of the crystallinesilicon project have already begun, the second phase remainson fast track. With a strategy to straddle multiple technologiesin this area, we are aggressively evaluating emergingalternative technologies and are confident that we bring downPV electricity costs to match conventional energy price points.In line with this strategy, we intend on setting up of the world’slargest thin film solar fab in the country.

HOME ENTERTAINMENT

Our initiative in this business aims to bring about a paradigmchange in the home video market – a market characterized byhigh fragmentation and rampant piracy. With superior quality,unbeatable price points and a rich library, we are confident ofredefining the home video market in India. Additionally, thisbusiness will allow us to capture higher value addition in thechain and we are optimistic of emerging as a leader in thishighly exciting segment.

So far we have launched less than 5% of our library and itgives me great pride to state that the response to this newbusiness has been overwhelmingly positive. This is just thebeginning…We are confident that this new business willcreate significant shareholder value.

OUR PEOPLEToday Moser Baer is an organization of strong leaders andexceptionally talented an d dedicated individuals. People havebeen central to our success and it is through their unyieldingcontribution that Moser Baer will continue to make adifference to the lives of more people than before. I take thisopportunity to thank all our employees for their dedicationand hard work.

Finally, I want to thank all our Shareholders, Bankers,Suppliers and Customers for their continued support as weenter into what we believe to be an even more exciting newera for Moser Baer.

I assure you we will all continue to work hard to achieve it.

We are living in an age where digitization of information is happening

at an exponential pace.

According to the Challenge Forum, if the digitized dataavailable to mankind could be expressed physically, it wouldcover an area equivalent to the island of Mauritius in 1920,Madagascar in 1940, the Congo in 1960, the Africancontinent in 1980, all the continents by 2000, the whole ofearth now, and cover 1,700 planets every year by 2020!

This astronomical surge in digitized data continues unabated,resulting in a pressing requirement for secure, reliable andcost-effective data storage products and solutions.

Moser Baer is a global technology leader that understandspeople's digital data storage requirements. The Companyleverages its competencies in base material engineering, thinfilm coating and precision sputtering to lead the technologydevelopment curve.

With a capacity to manufacture over 3 billion discs per annum

and a market reach in over 82 countries, Moser Baer is livingits vision of touching almost every life across the globe byproviding superior solutions in storing and archiving preciousdata.

In addition, Moser Baer has the technological prowess tomanufacture the entire range of optical media ranging from700 MB CDs to over 50 GB blue laser based discs.

Moser Baer is committed to continuously leverage itstechnology platform, rapid commercialization abilities to offerhighly efficient, technologically advanced, low cost opticalstorage media that promises to ‘touch lives’ of people acrossthe globe. Every day.

Solar Energy

‘A LEADER IS A DEALER IN HOPE’- Napoleon Bonaparte.

Moser Baer is excited at the prospect of leading the technologydevelopment and manufacture of photovoltaic cells and modules aswell as promoting the usage of solar power at competitive rates. Thisis an endeavor which promises to `touch lives' of people in theremotest part of the globe by encouraging its usage and indirectlytouching lives of people on this planet.

Worldwide the demand for power exceeds supply and this demand-supply gap is increasing at an alarming pace. Research indicates thatconventional energy sources are failing to fulfill the global powerdeficit which has resulted in substantial investments being made in

TOUCHING LIVES

non-conventional alternative sources of energy such as wind power,solar energy and bio-fuels.

In addition, there is the huge catastrophe of global warming andclimate change that are threatening to take over. While someindication of the possible impact are already visible, in the long term,this could cause serious and far-reaching problems from rising sealevels, melting glaciers to changes in our health impacting people,bio-diversity and inhabitants across the world. As the global warmingdebate continues, it is apparent that the world's future energygeneration is on the threshold of a dramatic change.

Moser Baer forayed into the photovoltiac business with a strategy tostraddle multiple future technologies, including crystalline silicon, thinfilm, low and high concentrator and nano technology and emerge asa significant technology-driven company. This strategy will allowMoser Baer to lead the technology curve and provide a road map tothe sub-dollar per watt costs. This coupled with its existing technologycommercialization and efficient manufacturing capabilities willenhance Moser Baer's ability to expand markets and ‘touch lives’.

Solar Energy Time line : From powering orbiting satellites and spacecrafts in the late 50s, remote telecommunications, cathodic protectionand signaling systems in mid-60s, remote residential and commercial systems since 70s, utility oriented residential and commercialapplications in the 80s, solar energy is now touching lives by becoming the key energy generator in rural areas and for many remote ordispersed off-grid applications including telecommunications, water pumping, navigation aids, transportation signals, remote lighting plusfor a growing range of commercial, industrial and consumer applications.

The glamorous world of Indian cinema churns out dreams,

fantasies, romances and exciting thrillers, which not only attracts

millions to cinema halls but also enthuses many to watch them in

the comfort and warmth of their homes.

Yet, the Indian home video market has failed to keep pacewith the potential considering that India is the world's largestproducer and consumer of films. Rampant piracy and highfragmentation in this business have unfortunately impactedthe industry. Despite the huge potential of the home videomarket, this market accounts for a mere 8% of the INR 79billion film industry, which compares poorly with US homevideo revenues, which is double the size of its theatrical

market.

Moser Baer's foray intothe home video

market is anotherinstance where it

has leveragedits technologyleadership toenter asegment at anascent stage

and thereafter expand the market through its pioneeringand path breaking initiatives. The Company is using itsproprietary and patented technology which both enhancesquality and significantly reduces the cost to launch moviesin VCD/DVD formats. The movie titles at an attractive pricepoint of Rs 28 / Rs 34 vindicates our the technologicalcapabilities and represents an interesting paradigm changein the home video market. Today, the Company's initiativeis encouraging movie lovers across the country to build theirown libraries and create an enriching family entertainmentexperience in their living rooms.

At Moser Baer, this is just the beginning.

The Company has already acquired copyrights/exclusivelicense for around 7,000 movie titles across languages suchas Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada,Bhojpuri, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi whichcombined with a strong three tier distribution model willmake Moser Baer titles available in over 200,000 outletsacross the country.

And in the process, touch every town where there is a movieloving family.

"BUSINESS EXCELLENCE" IS A CATALYST FOR BRINGING ABOUT DEEP TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE AND BUILDING ON THE

FOUNDATION THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. EXCELLENCE IS A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY AND EVERY NEW ACHIEVEMENT BECOMES

A PAST ACHIEVEMENT TO BE FURTHER IMPROVISED. EXCELLENCE IS AS MUCH ABOUT THE JOURNEY AS IT IS ABOUT THE

DESTINATION.

Our "Business Excellence" journey was kick started in 2006-07, a year that saw the Company cross several importantmilestones. A 2+ cycle roadmap for reaching a selfsustainable stage in our excellence journey was developed asa guide. The first level envisaged was the ‘change initiationand enhanced alignment’ phase followed by the ‘resultsorientation’ phase. The third and final level is the `leveragingthe momentum' phase. In each phase a number of initiativeswere started (the "creation cycle") which then are furtherrefined in the next phase (the "reinforcing cycle") to eventuallyget integrated into the way we do business ( the "routine

cycle"). Each phase builds on the previous phase activities,further refining the past as well as starting new initiatives.

As part of the transformation roadmap, we have developed a"Planning & Execution" framework forming the core-engine for organizational transformation based on theexpressed and underlying needs of the organization. Thissubtle, simple yet very powerful framework lays emphasis onfour key pillars: Strategy Development & Deployment,Budgeting, Strategy Execution and Performance Management.The business excellence framework underpins the integrationand cross-linkages between all the four strategic pillars.

In the ‘Strategy Development’ phase, the company focuses ondesigning and channelizing its resources in a synchronizedmanner through the Balance Scorecard process forming the‘Strategy Deployment’ phase.

As a part of the ‘Strategy Execution’ phase, we have deployeda holistic corporate Six Sigma framework for effectivelyexecuting our strategic priorities and realizing results with highreliability. In the first year, this has already generated annualizedfinancial benefits (cost savings plus enhanced revenue potential)in excess of 4% of profit before tax plus other strategicallyimportant non-financial organizational benefits. In the current financial year, we are targeting an ambitious target of 15% of profit before tax for annualized financial benefitto the Company.

During the year, as part of its performance management

module, the Company rolled out a new set of company wideReward and Recognition program to recognize and rewardindividuals and teams that stand out in various types of activities.

In endorsement of our path to "Business Excellence," Moser Baerwas honored to have received the 2006 IMC RBNQACommendation Certificate award as well as the 2006 AmityCorporate Excellence Award.

A key element of the ‘strategy development’ phase is to have arobust process that allows the organization to look beyond thepresent and identify strategically important opportunities for theCompany to achieve its long term goals with the lowest possibleoverall risk. Towards that effect, we have implemented a STRAPprocess that best aligns our organizational vision & mission with ourcapabilities in order to identify opportunities and minimizes overallrisk

PV BUSINESSIndustry developments in 2006-07Overview

Global energy demand is increasing at a rapid pace. Nations willspend USD 1 trillion this decade to meet electricity generating needs.Energy costs are rising globally, in line with oil prices and grid powercosts are slated to rise by 8-10% annually. Energy security is agrowing concern worldwide, leading to increasing dependence onrenewable energy sources.

Amongst the renewable space, photovoltaic technology is fastemerging as the most viable technology that has the potential tosatisfy the rising demand for distributed peaking power needs of theworld.

Increasing emphasis on cleaner, renewable fuels coupled with arapidly expanding list of countries, including Spain, Italy, Greece andFrance which are implementing or have implemented legislationsfavoring PV technology, the global demand for PV energy andsystems is on a very high growth trajectory. The global PV industrysize in 2006 grew to over 2.5 GW representing a 40% y/y growth.

The various R&D programs and technology initiatives to reach parity with base load grid power cost continued to dominate theindustry mind space during the year. The other important focus area for the industry is to scale up the Balance of Systems (BOS) technology so as to reduce BOS costs in line with cell &module cost curve.

While polysilicon continues to be supply constrained, large global

combining them with its existing technology commercialization andefficient manufacturing capabilities.

During the financial year, the company also announced its entry intothe exciting Indian content distribution/entertainment market throughthe Indian home video segment. This move will take advantage ofMoser Baer's established production capability and a well developednational distribution network. This business will also act as a lever tode-commoditize the blank optical media business given its highervalue addition and high returns on invested capital. During the yearthe company did a phased national launch of its video content onDVD and Video CD (VCD) formats using its proprietary and patentedtechnology with enhanced quality and significantly reduced cost. Thiswill enable Moser Baer to revolutionize the quality-price parity andoffer unprecedented value for the consumers in Indian market.

GLOBAL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTSOptical storage media

The global optical media industry steadily recovered during thefinancial year, driven by a confluence of factors - including continuingconsolidation of capacity, growth in consumer demand and softeningof input costs. The company further consolidated its position andaccording to Techno System and Research (TSR), Japan, maintained

its position as the second largest manufacturer of optical storagemedia in the world.

With continued growth in consumer demand for optical media,industry variables have improved and are reverting to normal levels.Efficient manufacturers with scale should benefit from theconsolidation which has followed the recent turbulent period in theindustry.

Strategic Marketing & Decisions (SMD) estimates global demand forblank optical media products to be 19 billion units in 2006representing a growth of 15% over 2005. This is mainly on accountof a 68% y/y growth in demand for DVDR/RW formats while demandfor the CDR/RW formats remained stable.

The year also saw the commercial shipments of next generationformats like the HD DVD and Blu-ray. While their shipments are stillsmall, SMD expects these formats to be the key growth driver for theindustry. Moser Baer was the first company in the world tocommercially ship HD DVD format to its top tier customer base.Increasing supply of Blue laser optical pick up heads and emergenceof drives which can read/write both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats aresignificant positive developments which should provide furtherimpetus to growth of these formats.

players have initiated significant capacity expansions and technologyinnovations which should lead to an improved supply and costscenario for this key input in the long term. The emphasis is on newtechnology to manufacture polysilicon and also on convertingmetallurgical grade silicon to solar grade silicon.

Globally, utilities are increasingly entering into long term PowerPurchase Agreements (PPA) with the solar energy installations. The market is also moving towards large form factor applicationswith new technologies being the key enabler. Building IntegratedPhoto Voltaic (BIPV) systems is another emerging application whereinsolar systems can be integrated into the building during itsconstruction.

Indian Market & Policies

Currently India has an installed power generation capacity of about123 Gigawatts (GW) per annum. With a robust economic growth,the per capita electricity consumption is expected to rise from 435KwH at present to 2000 KwH by 2015. However, the capacitycurrently lags demand with an estimated energy shortage of 8% anda peak load shortage of 11.6% at present.

India has started looking at renewable energy and progressively solarenergy as a serious alternative to conventional energy needs. Thecurrent demand for PV systems in India is estimated to be 40 MWwith major applications being limited to rooftop energy generationand solar thermal applications. Driven by emerging technologies andindustry factors, a reduction in the price of solar energy productscould significantly expand this market to a multiple of GW potentialin the next few years.

Several national programs have been launched for off gridinstallations in India. Among other incentives, the Indian Governmentalso directs state utilities to buy a specific part of their energy needsfrom renewables - of which solar is set to rapidly increase its share.

Recently announced semi conductor policy provides significantbenefits to the PV manufacturing sector through capital subsidiesunderlining the rising importance of this sector in Government policyinitiatives.

PRODUCT-WISE ANALYSIS AND OUTLOOK

CDR / RW

Strategic Marketing & Decisions (SMD) estimates global demand forCDR/RW formats to be over 12 billion units in 2007. Consumerdemand for the CDR/RW format continues to grow in Asian, LatinAmerican and Middle Eastern markets. There are also certain

emerging corporate applications and niche segments like theprintable media and LightScribe, which are seeing a rapid growth inthe CDR/RW space.

Meanwhile global CDR/RW supply continues to consolidate throughcapacity conversions and closure of inefficient capacities around theworld. This is helping CDR/RW demand-supply balance return toequilibrium, thereby providing a stimulus for firm CDR/RW pricingenvironment in the medium term.

DVD / RW

Shifting consumer preferences, increasing drive penetration andimproving price-value proposition of DVDR/RW media is leading to asharp growth for the format. As per SMD global shipments ofDVDR/RW formats rose 68% y/y in 2006 to 6.2 billion units from3.7 billion units in 2005. SMD expects DVDR/RW shipments to touchalmost 9 billion units in 2007 representing a 43% growth. TheDVDR/RW media prices are expected to continue to follow itsmanufacturing cost curve, enabling healthy margins for manufacturers.

Next generation formats

Despite the next generation format war, SMD believes that it is theBlue lazer technology (BD & HD DVD) that has the potential ofsignificantly mitigating the impact of possible cannibalization ofoptical media demand by emerging alternate technologies in thelong term. During the year, first commercial shipments of these nextgeneration formats were started, spearheaded by Moser Baer. Thecurrent pricing for these formats which offer 15-23 GB space onsingle substrate is 15-20 times that of the DVD formats.

While SMD expects 2007 to be the first big year for Blue laser basedtechnology, the race has already begun in this next growth phase ofthe global optical media industry. As per US based StrategicMarketing and Decisions, the demand for the next generation highdensity formats, including HD DVD and Blu-ray media, is expected atgrow sharply to 1.7 billion discs over the next three years driven byincreasing applications driven by high definition video content andimproving price value proposition offered by these formats as theirpricing curve approaches the inflection point required to expandmarket demand.

Given the complexity and manufacturing capabilities required tomass produce these formats, only a select group of companies willemerge as key players in this high growth segment, thereby increasingthe differentiation between the technology innovators and developersand the tier-II companies over the long term.

PV BUSINESS - BRIEF TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS ANDOUTLOOKIncreasing emphasis on clean energy sources and expandingfootprint of PV friendly legislations around the world coupled withreducing cost of solar systems enabled through technologyinnovations are sharply growing the global photovoltaic market. ThePV market is on a high growth curve with global demand expectedto grow from current 2 GW to over 10 GW resulting in over USD 40billion in revenues by 2010. Demand for solar energy systems ishighly price elastic, as electricity costs from solar energy systems nearparity with conventional energy costs, the global demand for PVsystems should rise exponentially.

The innovations in the established crystalline silicon technology andvalue chain coupled with emergence of potentially disruptive newtechnologies like the Concentration Photovoltaic (CPV) technology,Thin Film technology and Nano technology, provides a clear pathwayto drive the PV energy costs to parity with the conventional energycosts.

Amongst the emerging technologies, Thin Film and Concentratorsare best positioned to be commercialized at a price point which couldpotentially go below grid parity at USD 1/watt.

There are broadly three emerging factors for success which willdifferentiate companies in this industry over the long term. Firstly, thescale &/or manufacturing efficiencies; Secondly, access to technologyand lastly, the level of integration along the PV value chain fromstarting input to BOS.

Companies which are highly efficient manufacturers and haveachieved scale will emerge as front runners in established crystallinesilicon technology. Additionally, these companies will need to takepositions in one or few of the emerging technologies to establish orsustain competitive edge given their potential to reduce PV systemcosts.

Companies will also integrate themselves along the PV value chainto capture higher value addition and offer customized solutions totheir consumers worldwide to differentiate themselves.

MOSER BAER DEVELOPMENT FY 2006-07During the year the company evolved into a technology driven,multiple business translational by adding high growth technologydriven businesses to its portfolio which have the potential tosignificantly increase combined revenues and overall returns oninvested capital.

Optical Storage Media

FY2006-07 is a year of recovery with the global blank optical mediaindustry steadily returning to normalcy, driven by robust consumerdemand, consolidation of capacities & consequent price stabilizationand softening of prices of raw materials. Consequently the company'soperating & financial parameters also returned to normal andsustainable levels during the year under review.

During the year, the company increased its blank optical mediacapacity from 2.8 billion discs per annum to 3.4 billion discs perannum in FY07 through an efficient mix of new capacity andopportunistic acquisition of couple of distressed capacities in Europe.This has led to a significant improvement in our asset turnover during the year.

The base optical media business reached stabilization during FY07 and has emerged free cash accretive driven by improvingprofitability, asset turnovers and sharp improvement in workingcapital cycles; growth and returns remain attractive from long termperspective.

With the company's improved manufacturing efficiency, growingmarket share, proprietary technology and "first to market" position innext generation Blue laser based formats; the company is well placedto benefit from improved industry dynamics and high growthpotential.

During the year, the company emerged as the second largest playerin the global blank optical media industry with the largest marketshare of CDR/RW segment and the second largest share of the fastgrowing DVDR/RW segment. The share of the high value DVDR/RWsegment has increased sharply during the year and currentlyconstitutes over 50% of revenue against less than 25% in FY06.

A major highlight of the year is the transformation of Moser Baer froma technology innovator to a technology developer through itsrelentless efforts on R&D and various technology collaborations.

In the 2Q FY07, the company achieved the status of being the firstin the world to commence commercial shipments of next generationHD DVD-R media to its top tier OEM customers. Additionally, thecompany's proprietary and patented technology was established asone of the four standard media to be included in the Blu-ray discspecifications by the Blu-ray Disc Association. The company'spioneering work in Blue Ray phase change technology and a uniqueIP position should provide a significant competitive edge to thecompany and enable it to change the cost dynamics for the formatto consumer. As per Strategic Marketing & Decisions (SMD) BlueLaser based formats (HD & Blu-ray) demand is set to exceed over1.7 billion discs by 2009 from a couple of million units at present,and the company is well positioned to capture a significant share ofthis emerging opportunity.

In the last quarter of FY 2006-07, Moser Baer acquired 81% stakein OM&T B.V., a highly specialized technology company from Philips.This acquisition will complement the existing cutting edge technologyresearch being done in Moser Baer's R&D center in India and help thecompany to be at the forefront of technology in both the optical andsolar photovoltaic (PV) segments.

A significant part of the Blue-ray technology development andcommercialization was done by OM&T and it will enhance theleadership position of Moser Baer in this format. Moser Baer will alsobe able to leverage OM&T's best in class mastering and stampermaking capabilities.

OM&T also possesses world class capabilities in thin film, wetchemical processing, optics, concentration and testing procedureswhich will enable Moser Baer to take a significant leap forward in itsR&D efforts in multiple PV technology verticals.

In another major development, the company's in-house R&D centerwas granted recognition by the Ministry of Science and Technology(MoST), Government of India. The company is now amongst a selectfew in India to have its R&D centre approved by the Department

Page 31: Touching lives - Moserbaer€¦ · single business into a multi-technology business organization. It gives me great pride in stating that our newly articulated vision of touching

of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), MoST.

Having established the `Moserbaer' brand as a market leader in thefast growing Indian storage media market, the company alsoleveraged its strong brand equity and an extensive distributionnetwork to address another market niche by launching 'Moserbaer'range of USB Flash drives in the Indian market in the third quarter ofFY07.

Developments in the PV business

Moser Baer leveraged the existing core competencies in wet chemicalprocessing, photo lithography, base material engineering and nano-etching into the photovoltaic space by establishing a solar cells and modules manufacturing facility in India's first renewable energy SEZ.

Moser Baer utilized its engineering capabilities and learning from theoptical media manufacturing to design a unique horizontal, in-lineconfiguration allowing higher throughput, inherent flexibility in waferusage and a pathway to thin wafer handling. The company willrapidly increase deployment of thinner wafers and set industrybenchmarks in production efficiencies in line with its strategy toemerge as one of the most efficient manufacturers in the photovoltaicspace.

The company's initial 80 MW of crystalline silicon cell manufacturingproject crossed significant milestones towards commercializationduring the year. The first 40 MW of phase I of this project is set toachieve commercialization. The company is also in the process ofadding a module manufacturing facility to capture incremental partof the PV value chain and provide customized solutions to thecustomers.

In addition to the target of being one of the most efficient solar cellmanufacturers, the company also put in place an efficient siliconsourcing strategy to adequately address current demand supplyimbalances in silicon availability. In line with this strategy, thecompany announced the strategic sourcing tie-up with DeutscheSolar, a leading global silicon wafer manufacturer, for the supply ofsilicon wafers. The company has recently also acquired 40% strategicequity stake in the Slovenia-based Solarvalue Proizvodnja d.d. Thisstrategic stake will help MBPV secure long term supplies of solargrade silicon wafer at competitive prices.

The company's strategy is to straddle multiple future technologies andemerge as an engineering & technology driven company withdifferentiated business model to peers. In line with this strategy the company made strategic investments into US basedConcentration Photovoltaic (CPV) technology companies, namely,Solaria Inc. and SolFocus Inc.

Solaria's unique low-concentration technology platform shouldenable Moser Baer to produce two to three times the number ofmodules from the same amount of silicon material used in today's

conventional cells and modules. Solaria's technology fits seamlesslyinto the existing PV supply chain; has the same form, fit and functionof traditional solar PV offerings; and can be deployed in a range ofcommercial, industrial and residential rooftop and ground-mountedapplications.

The low cost of SolFocus high concentration solar panel productswill enable a dramatic reduction in the cost of delivering renewablesolar energy, and for the first time enable solar to compete with conventional fuels in several large multi-billion dollar energymarkets. The strategic investment of Moser Baer into SolFocusrepresents a significant step towards commercialization of this CPVtechnology.

The company also entered into a technology partnership with the USbased Applied Materials Inc, a global leader in nano manufacturingtechnology solutions for the electronics industry, to manufacture largearea Thin Film modules. This enables Moser Baer to have a firstmover advantage in the manufacture of large area Thin Film moduleswhich are ideal for energy farms, rural applications and BuildingIntegrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) markets.

Moser Baer's acquisition of OM&T BV - a Philips' technology andR&D subsidiary will also contribute in significantly enhancingcompany's development efforts in the large area thin film modulespace.

The company also invested into Stion Corporation, a breakthroughinnovator of nanotechnology for solar photovoltaic industry. MBPVhas acquired a significant minority stake in Stion Corporation, ananostructures technology company based in California, formerlyknown as NStructures. Stion Corporation is a pioneer in the cuttingedge Nanostructure based PV technologies. The technology customtunes nanostructure particles using several substrate materials toabsorbing nearly the entire solar light spectrum, enabling highefficiency solar cells at a low cost. This technology is still at lab scaleand a couple of years away from commercialization.

MBPV is expected to start commercial production of its first phase ofcrystalline silicon capacity in FY08 and rapidly achieve scale byramping up capacity to over 200MW over next three years.

Additionally, its thin film project is expected to start commercialproduction in early 2009 with an initial capacity of 40 MW, which willeventually ramp up to 200 MW capacity over three years - makingit the largest thin film solar fab in the world.

The Concentration Photovoltaic (CPV) vertical will start contributingto revenues in early 2008 with an initial capacity of 40 MW

ENTERTAINMENT SPACE AS A NEW BUSINESSINITIATIVEDuring the year, the company forayed into the exciting Indian contentdistribution and entertainment market through the Indian home videosegment. Several positive attributes of the robust strategy and unique

Page 32: Touching lives - Moserbaer€¦ · single business into a multi-technology business organization. It gives me great pride in stating that our newly articulated vision of touching

30

opportunities underpin the company's positive prospects in the newbusiness venture.

Rising disposable incomes, increasing penetration of hardware, largeand increasing content base and hectic lifestyles will continue toincrease demand for home entertainment. According to estimates,while India has over 26 million DVD/ VCD users, they barelycomprise a fourth of population having TV ownership in the country.It is estimated that the number of DVD/VCD owners will grow at ahealthy clip of over 25% per annum.

The Indian home video market accounts for a mere 7% of the totalfilm revenues of INR 79 billion, which is very low when compared to50% in a market like the USA. Home Video share could rise sharplywith increasing consolidation and improving price value propositionbeing offered to the consumers.

Home Entertainment is a key revenue driver in theinternational markets

(Source: PWC-FICCI Report, company estimates)

StrategyThe home entertainment business will leverage Moser Baer'sproprietary manufacturing technology and established nationaldistribution network to offer quality product at a price point - INR 34for DVD & INR 28 for VCD - which will change the currentbenchmarks for price value proposition to the consumers and createa standard which peers will find extremely difficult to emulate. Theother key differentiators of the strategy are the diversity of content,library size, language options and a strong delivery mechanism.

In the long term the strategy is to create a business model which isagnostic to the type of content distributed and also selectively developcontent and movies for the home entertainment segment.

Moser Baer has already acquired copyrights/exclusive license/marketing and distribution rights of around 6,000 titles in all majorIndian languages comprising a third of all mainstream films everproduced in India, making Moser Baer the biggest player in the homevideo segment. The company has established distribution network ofover 450 distributors with DVDs and VCDs being available across200,000 outlets in the country. The company has also launched aweb-based sales initiative from its site www.moserbaerhomevideo.com.

The company has adopted the pull and awareness marketing strategythrough its "hello happiness" campaign to reach out to consumersand communicate the value proposition offered. As a mark ofassurance, the company is offering a certified quality money backguarantee in case of any manufacturing defect and is promising toreplace the disc absolutely free.

OutlookThe company plans to invest USD 100 million over the next threeyears in this business, mainly on acquisition of content and marketingexpenses. The price point offered to consumers is expected to expandthe market with higher share of legitimate content distribution. MoserBaer expects to catalyze this trend in the Indian home vide segmentand expects this business to significantly contribute to it's revenuesand earnings over the next few years.

1) Lower capital investment compared to industry standards and high process efficiencies enables global cost leadership.

2) Integrated & Flexible manufacturing facility enables adaptingto changing market dynamics.

3) Cutting edge R&D infrastructure enables development ofsuperior technology products and faster commercialization of the same to emerge "first to market".

4) Strong logistics and distribution network spread across the globe.

5) Present in multiple technologies within each businesssegment.

6) Excellent project management, large-scale production skills enabling faster technology commercialization.

7) Emerging from a technology innovator to technologydeveloper.

8) Committed shareholders add strength, longevity andsustainability to future plans.

9) Presence in multiple businesses having high growth and returnon invested capital.

Weaknesses

1) Key raw materials in the business are commodities, henceexposed to price fluctuations.

2) As the new businesses are in investment phase, they will require large investments of funds, manpower and resourcesin the short term.

3) Internal control and information systems need to be strengthened to meet the requirements of a multi businessesorganization handling large number of product variants across segments.

Opportunities

1. A first to market and unique IP position in the next generationBlu Laser based formats provides a significant competitiveedge and growth opportunity as demand for these formatsgrows to over 1.7 billion discs by 2009. Having a first moveradvantage in this segment, the company is likely to earn supernormal profits during the initial stages.

2. The company has emerged as the second largest player forDVDR/RW formats in the world - a segment which is to growover 40% p.a. in 2007.

3. Domestic market: India is one of the fastest growing markets

Page 33: Touching lives - Moserbaer€¦ · single business into a multi-technology business organization. It gives me great pride in stating that our newly articulated vision of touching

31

for optical media. The company is well positioned todominate this captive market.

4. Solar Photo Voltaic business: Increasing reliance on cleanenergy and falling PV system costs are set to grow globaldemand by over 5x (USD 40 billion value) by 2010 whichpresents Moser Baer with an exciting growth opportunity.Moser's core competencies along with its multi technologystrategy should allow the company to differentiate itself andsignificantly grow its market share.

5. Home entertainment business: Leverages existing strengthsand is highly synergistic. This business represents an excellentopportunity to leverage proprietary technology, enable thesetting of new cost benchmarks and de-commoditizing of theblank optic media business by higher value addition. Theinitiative should also increase Moser's brand equity in Indianmarket. The company is uniquely positioned in this businesswhich should ensure higher returns and growth for Moser Baer and also redefine the home video market in India.

Threats

1. Alternate technologies: Given Moser Baer's presence in hightechnology businesses, managing technology evolution andbeing at the forefront of the technology curve assumes primeimportance. Threat of technology obsolescence and alternatetechnologies is a constant in the optical and PV space. However,over the years the company has evolved from a technologyinnovator to a developer and has also entered into strategictechnology alliances in PV space to emerge as a technologydriven company, thereby mitigating this threat.

2. Prices of key inputs: Polycarbonate for optical media andpolysilicon for photo Voltaics are critical key raw material. Thesecommodities are influenced by a variety of factors, includingcrude prices, respective demand-supply balance, etc. Any sharpincrease in prices of these commodities or demand-supplyimbalances could adversely impact business. The company isworking on strategic sourcing agreements, including investmentsinto production facilities, for critical raw materials. This shouldease the impact of any pricing volatility and improve productionplanning.

3. Anti-dumping and anti-subsidy / government policies: TheCompany derives a significant part of its revenues frominternational markets. These have seen a growing protectionistattitude and a tendency by some local governments to use anti-dumping and trade protection tools to provide protection to localbusinesses. However, the Company continues to keep a closewatch on this front and take necessary steps to minimize any fallout.

In the PV front, Government incentive programs and benefits toPV industry are providing strong impetus to demand growth forPV systems. Any adverse change in these policies could have anegative impact on global demand. Moser Baer's multitechnology strategy in PV space is not based on the pace ofincentive programs as these new technologies could deliverenergy at costs comparable to that of conventional energy.

4. Fall in product prices: As products move into the mature phase in their life-cycle, they start to emulate commodity-type characteristics. Also, optical media industry has relativelyhigh capital intensity; hence a sharp fall in prices could severely impact overall returns. The company has beenconsistently improving its asset turnover by installing moreefficient lines, improving product mix, etc. The leadership positionin high value next generation formats should further improvethese returns.

Currently, the growth in PV industry is demand constrainedleading to healthy pricing and margins. Given the shortage oninputs side, the pricing should continue to track input cost trendsin medium term. Demand being highly price elastic, any sharpfall in costs should significantly expand demand.

5. Emerging delivery platforms in entertainment segmentThe introduction of video-on-demand, IP TV, pay per viewservices, etc, which enable the customers to select and watchmovies at their convenience could compete with the physicaldistribution of home video. These technologies are still indevelopment and trial phase in India and may not offer the pricevalue proposition and "ownership" experience offered by physicalformats. The legitimate market is expected to significantly expandat the price points of the company's format, thereby helping thisbusiness grow in the long term.

foreign exchange risk management policy has been furtherstrengthened to ensure there is no adverse impact of volatileexchange rates beyond agreed-upon tolerance levels.

Interest

The outflow on account of interest and finance charges increased toINR 1,244.9 million in FY 07 from 935.5 million in FY 06,representing an increase of 33%, primarily on account of a rise inoverall debt levels as well as interest costs. However, despite thefirming interest rate environment, the interest cost as a percentage ofaverage debt for the company remains healthy at 7.4% in FY 07.

Capital expenditure

Gross block of the Company increased by INR 4,083 million during FY 07 to reach INR 39 billion. Majority of this increment inassets was to expand capacities to meet increasing demand. Ourblank optical media capacity increased from 2.8 billion per annumin FY 06 to 3.4 billion per annum in FY 07. We also invested intocreation of capacity for next generation formats and into theentertainment business. We intend to enhance our optical mediacapacity further during FY 08 and also incrementally invest in thephotovoltaic & entertainment business. The incremental capitalexpenditure is being funded by a prudent mix of internal accrualsand debt.

Depreciation

Depreciation increased by 12.9% in FY 07 (from INR 3,167.6 millionto INR 3,578.7 million) on account of increase in the gross fixedassets. Due to the flexible nature of the asset base and the relativelylong life-cycles of products in the industry, we believe that the risk ofthe asset base becoming obsolete is low.

Working capital management

The overall net working capital was 26.2 per cent of gross revenuesin FY 07, which has significantly reduced from the levels of FY 06,reflecting our focus on working capital management and improvingindustry environment.

Loans and advances

In FY 07, loans and advances decreased to INR 1,186.2 millionagainst INR 1,495.6 million in FY06. This is mainly on account ofreduction of advances to suppliers decreasing sharply by 67.5% asthe company secured better credit terms for key materials.

This implies an increase in asset utilization ratios and improvingworking capital management. Improving asset turnover and improvingoperating margins have resulted in a healthier Return on Average CapitalEmployed in FY07.

Management of surplus funds

In a growing business, there were junctures when the temporaryavailability of resources was higher than the immediate use. Theseshort-term surpluses were invested in low risk financial instrumentsthat optimized returns and protected the invested principal.

businesses - optical media, photovoltaic and content distributionhave an inherent risk quotient. These risks may stem from technologyobsolescence, high customer concentration, commodity cycles andgeographical risks amongst others. The company is, however, wellpoised to manage and mitigate these risks.

The obsolescence of technology is inevitable and the real challengeis to anticipate and respond to both evolutionary and disruptivechanges.

A solid entrenchment is observed with CD-R, whereby a huge globalinstalled base of readers and writers have served to provide theformat with considerable staying power even in the face of existingnew options. The position is strengthened by a number of factors theversatility of the CD and DVD format families has served to establishthem as a bridge between the information storage and entertainmentsegments, extending their utility and reach. The growth of DVDs notonly maintain backward compatibility with CDs, but also opens upcomplementary new video, multi-media, and game applicationsegments further strengthening the global mass appeal of the 120mm disc formats.

The company expects that the above factors will result in a steadystate for CD-R media, while DVDR and the next generation blue laserbased media will drive the growth in the medium to long term.

The company's strategy is to transform Moser Baer into a technologydeveloper and innovator from a technology recipient. The strongR&D will enable us develop high value products which will build thedifferentiation barriers in the long term. The world is moving towardsHigh Definition content. This is a significant technology shift in theglobal optical media industry and will radically change theconsumer's viewing experience. According to the US based StrategicMarketing and Decisions, the demand for the next generation highdensity formats is expected at 1.7 billion discs over the next three

years. This represents an exciting opportunity for us, as Moser Baernow has the first mover advantage as it began shipping HD DVD-R,a next generation format, to its global OEMs customers, during theyear. Also the company has also extended its technology leadershipposition in the Blu-ray media. Moser Baer's in-house developed andpatented technology has been considered as one of the four standardmedia to be included in the Blu-ray disc specifications by the Blu-rayDisc Association.

These intensive R&D thrust which enabled this feat will help us tofurther consolidate our global leadership position in the opticalmedia space.

Steps taken to mitigate technology risks

The company's technology-led optic media storage products beingpart of a very active market segment are prone to significanttechnological risks. These risks exist in a number of critical areas, allof which can have considerable commercial / financial implications.

As a prudent and forward-looking initiative, the company hasinvested substantially in R&D and engineering to address andmitigate risks in all these areas, often with multiple degrees ofredundancy.

� Strong in-house R&D capabilities, enables the company torapidly commercialize new products.

� Longstanding strategic partnerships with key technologyproviders, allows the company to access new technologies.

� Cooperative links with all major hardware suppliers facilitatesdrive/media compatibility.

� Seamlessly future-proofing our capital investments assureevolutionary capabilities of manufacturing infrastructure.

� Technology collaborations and tech sourcing arrangements

with global technology companies in emerging areas.

� Acquisitions of pioneering companies in optical media R&D, will enhance the leadership position of Moser Baer in the next generation optical format race.

Other risks and key management initiatives

a) INDUSTRY RISK MANAGEMENT

The company operates in an industry where technology trendsare constantly changing and evolving which may jeopardizefuture growth.

The company, however, faces no immediate threat from thedynamic environment in which it operates. On the contrary, itstands to benefit from the current growth trends in the DVDRformat. It also stands to benefit from the demand for the nextgeneration high density formats which is expected at 1.7 billiondiscs over the next three years. Moser Baer enjoys first moveradvantage with the shipment of HD DVD-R, a next generationformat.

As consumption evolves from analogue to digital technology, it isprompting legacy recordings to migrate to new media.

In line with the long term strategy of creating multiple synergisticbusinesses, the company made its maiden foray into theentertainment industry through the Indian home video market.This business is identified as an important value-enhancing,forward integration initiative to the optical media business. It willde-commoditize the blank optical media business due to thehigher value addition to its products. The entertainment businessis significantly less capital intensive compared to optical mediabusiness and will contribute to improving the overall returns oninvested capital.

Additionally, the company also entered the exciting globalphotovoltaic industry which is growing at a rapid pace. The PVindustry is also significantly less capital intensive than opticalmedia industry and it is expected to improve the overall returns oninvested capital.

Entry into both these businesses mitigates the risk of exposure toa single industry.

b) CUSTOMER ATTRITION RISK CONTROL

Over-dependence on a few customers could impact revenues inthe event of attrition. The company with its combined valueproposition of high quality standards, competitive prices, andexcellent service will continue to expand our customer base. Thecompany believes the event of customer attrition and the chances

of an adverse impact on the company would be low.

c) GEOGRAPHIC RISK MANAGEMENT

Concentration of customers and revenue bases in a closegeographic area may impact growth in case some of theseregions are not performing up to expectations.

A geographically concentrated revenue base may impact growthin the case of some of these regions not delivering as perexpectations.

The consumer base is primarily addressed through globaltechnology OEMs which sell products in different continentsacross the globe. As we supply to global customers, thegeographical risk is mitigated. Additionally, we continue to focuson emerging and new markets.

d) PEOPLE RISK MANAGEMENT

Quality of our human resources charts the success and growthpotential of our business.

The company has managed to keep attrition rates well in controlby imbibing a sense of ownership and pride and strong HRinitiatives geared to nurturing latent talent and unlocking thepower of intellectual capital. The company continues to driveorganization development and also build management resourcesfor a multi-business enterprise.

e) COMPETITION DE-RISKING

As installed capacities in global data storage industry have risen,prices have declined.

The company has addressed this through unbeatable price-valueproposition superior quality, timely delivery, attractive price andintroduction of new products.

f) FAILURE TO FORECAST ACCURATELY

Understanding and forecasting emerging tends in the technologyspace is critical.

The company is strengthening its forecasting and S&OP processto be used for high level production planning and cover plans forkey materials.

g) FAILURE TO ENTER INTO LONG TERM CONTRACTS FORCRITICAL RAW MATERIALS & CONSUMABLES

Sharp commodity cycles and demand-supply imbalances incritical raw material can severely impact operations. The

Page 43: Touching lives - Moserbaer€¦ · single business into a multi-technology business organization. It gives me great pride in stating that our newly articulated vision of touching

41

company is working on long term strategic sourcingarrangements with key raw material suppliers; which are expectedto significantly mitigate this risk.

h) CASH FLOW RISK

Moser Baer operates in a high growth and capital intensiveindustry. Hence, it is imperative to efficiently estimate andmanage cash flows in this volatile environment. The Company'sworking capital arrangements are well in place to guard againstany uneven or seasonal factors. The company is set to emerge asa free cash company aided by improving margins and betterworking capital management. The rising contribution of nextgeneration formats and value added products to further aidrevenue and margin expansion.

Additionally, the company also entered the exciting globalphotovoltaic which is growing at a brisk pace. The foray into thehome entertainment business with value propositions which willdirectly discourage the rampant piracy by facilitating much higherconsumption of legal home video content and expand themarkets.

This not only mitigates the risk of exposure to a single industry, butboth these industries are significantly less capital intensive thanoptical media industry, it is expected to improve the overall returnson invested capital.

i) SECURITY/DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

Natural, political and economic disturbances could disruptoperations. To counter balance this, the company hasimplemented an extensive IT disaster recovery plan across all itsfacilities. The company has mapped out all the related risks onthese accounts and put in place sufficient risk mitigations and control mechanisms which are regularly updated andmonitored.

NEW BUSINESS RISKSHome Entertainment

During the year, the company has announced plans to enter thehome entertainment business segment. This is a new business for thecompany and is prone to risk on account of firstly being a newbusiness on account of execution risk.

Diversity of offering and the library size will be important businessdriver in this segment. To achieve a leadership position, a strongpresence across all film genres will be critical. The company hasacquired copyright/exclusive license/marketing and distribution rightsof around 6,000 mainstream films ever produced across alllanguages in a short period. The company has adequatelyresearched the business and as a strategy, the company may eitheradopt the outright purchase of titles which provides a minimum 3years of exclusive rights on the content especially for catalogue

Page 44: Touching lives - Moserbaer€¦ · single business into a multi-technology business organization. It gives me great pride in stating that our newly articulated vision of touching

42

purchases. The company may even consider the revenue sharingmodel for latest movie releases. As a risk mitigation strategy, thecompany also has plans in future to develop its own content andmovies for home entertainment segment.

The company is offering its products at an all-inclusive price point ofDVDs at INR 34 and VCDs at INR 28 as compared to the prevailingprice points of INR 300 and INR 125-150 for the similar legitimateproducts. In future, the company pricing strategy will depend on thecontent acquisition costs and cost of key inputs being stable. Anychange in these factors can impact the profitability of the company.The company believes that by narrowing down prices of pirated andoriginal disc, it will expand the whole home entertainment marketand encourage people to build libraries, and by driving volumes willbe in a position to sustain these price points.

PV business

The PV business which is also a part of the company's new businessinitiatives; is prone to risks on account of being a new business,project delays, technology risk, shortage of raw material, availabilityof fund for the business and shortage of manpower.

Project Execution Risk

Delay in execution of the company's new projects can negativelyimpact the company's profitability. Any delay in the company's secondphase 40 MW crystalline silicon or its Thin Film project will certainlyimpact the financial projections and return on investments of thecompany. The company is on track for its various projects and with a right teamin place, it is confident of mitigating the risk of project delays.

Technology and commercialization risks

PV being a new business and being a high technology driven businessfaces the risk of commercialization. Success will be determined bythe right human capital, right technology and being present at theright time. Moser Baer with its experience in high tech manufacturing,in achieving rapid scale and commercializing technology products ispoised to emerge as a global leader in this rapidly growing market.

The company plans to straddle multiple future technologies and hasmade strategic investments in high technology start-ups and jointdevelopment plans and it believes that the risk is adequatelymitigated. Additionally, the OM&T acquisition which has bought inworld class capabilities in thin film, wet chemical processing, optics& concentration and testing procedures will further reduce thetechnology risk.

Raw material shortage risk

A global demand supply imbalance of silicon exists which can impactthe PV industry. The company has already secured its short termrequirements of raw material and is in the final process of closingmedium and long term agreements. The company has also made aninvestment in a company as a backward integration measure. Theindustry is currently in the 'pass through' stage and the companybelieves that any hike in raw material prices can be easily passed onto its customers.

Funding Risk

The developmental plans of the PV business; envisages strategic tie-ups and technology-intensive capex projects to be executed whichrequires the mobilisation of funds. The company's inability to mobilizefunds would impact the business prospects. The company intends tofund these projects through debts and internal accruals as a measureof prudence; the entire PV business is being carried by through itswholly owned subsidiary Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Limited (MBPV).Keeping in mind the massive investment required in the thin filmproject, the project is being implemented through a Special PurposeVehicle (SPV).

Human capital risk

Human capital is a distinctive business driver as the PV business is ina nascent stage and is a technology driven segment requiresspecialized manpower. The PV space is an emerging and complexbusiness and challenge is in getting the right people with a deepunderstanding, skills and ability to take the business to the next level.The company has put in place the key technical and

43

managerial resources and has a team of 231 people dedicated tothe business.

Human Resource /Industrial Relations

The skills and dedication of our employees underpin the successes weas a company have achieved. In turn, we are equally committed toensuring the environment within which they work fosters development,growth, creativity and encourages ownership. The companyobjectively recognises and rewards individual efforts and evaluatesoverall performance through balanced score card regimes.

demand continued to be robust and pricing power started to comeback to manufacturers towards the end of the year. Additionally,subsequent to a steep rise, the prices of key inputs also started tosoften during the year. Strategic Marketing & Decisions (SMD) expectsindustry demand to expand to 21 billion units by 2009 - adding over2 billion units over existing levels, mainly driven by high valueDVDR/RW and next generation Blu-ray formats. The growth inindustry value should remain robust in the long term.

There was a sharp turnaround in the CDR/RW demand-supply andpricing cycle during the later part of the year driven by demandgrowth in Asian/Emerging markets and exit/conversion of inefficientcapacities. The improved demand-supply position aided the increasein ASPs (Average Selling Prices) of CDR/RW, a trend which shouldcontinue in the near to medium term. SMD (Strategic Marketing &Decisions) estimates global demand for CDR / RW during 2007 tobe 12 billion disks.

The DVDR / RW segment continues to grow at a rapid pace, withglobal demand at 6.2 billion units in 2006 - a 68% year-on-yeargrowth in volumes during 2006 (SMD estimates). Demand forDVDR/RW formats is expected to remain strong as global volumestouch almost 9 billion units in 2007. DVDR/RW media marginsshould remain stable as DVDR/RW media pricing follows themanufacturing cost curve in the near term.

The next generation Blu Laser based formats such as Blu Disc and HDDVD formats are the emerging growth drivers for the global industrydriven by increasing penetration of high definition/density videocontent and applications.

Market development

The financial year 2006-07 was the first year when your Companystarted "Retail Private Label" segment along with selling to OEMcustomers. With an eye to expand the existing market, your Companyhas already started focusing on value-added products which reflectsthe commitment to move up the value chain in terms of givingpremium & value added products to its customers.

During the year, your Company introduced a number of newproducts including double layer storage media formats, mini DVDrecordable and re-writable discs and Gold Media. The Companylaunched an in house developed "Aqua Shield" media, a nicheproduct for the European market. Your Company was also the firstcompany in the world to commercially ship next generation HDDVDR format. The acquisition of OM&T (an erstwhile subsidiary ofPhilips) has significantly strengthened your Company's position ofbeing a frontrunner in the next generation Blu-ray format given

OM&T's pioneering work and manufacturing expertise in the Blu-raydisc technology.

PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) CELL PROJECTMoser Baer Photo Voltaic Limited (MBPV), 100% subsidiary of yourCompany, has also ventured into the emerging and high growthglobal solar energy market by executing its first project tomanufacture photovoltaic cells and modules, targeting an annualcapacity of 40 MW in Phase I of the project. The initial project costis estimated to be Rs 2.6 billion, with Moser Baer investing Rs 1.2billion in this venture. The Company will leverage synergies betweenexisting core manufacturing and technology competencies to emergeas a significant player in the fast growing global photovoltaic market.The global photovoltaic market is on a high growth curve - salesexpected to grow over 6x to USD 40 billion by 2010. This demandis also highly price elastic. A lowering of PV electricity costs toconventional levels could exponentially expand this market as PVstarts to penetrate into base load demand of electricity. During theyear under review, the Company successfully completed final lineintegration and trials on its initial 40 MW crystalline photovoltaic cellproduction facility.

During the financial year, Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Limited acquireda significant minority stake in three US based technology companiesfocused on innovative photovoltaic technologies.
