| Chairman's Speech (Athena Financial Services) | Year : Jun '00 |
Dear Shareholders, India today is the second largest two wheeler market in the world and the industry is experiencing strong growth. A growing economy, large population with an increasing disposable income in urban and rural sectors has led to sustained growth of the two wheeler industry in India. Though the scooter industry as a whole has shown a decline, the increasing preference of the consumers for ungeared modern scooters has enabled the sale of Kinetic scooters to growth by 20%. Your Company has the unique advantage of financing the buyers of Kinetic brand of two wheelers across the country. With the increase in sales of Kinetic brand vehicles, your Company felt that the merger of all the finance companies in the Kinetic Group into one umbrella corporate entity would help in pooling of resources and synergies to further exploit the existing and emerging opportunities. Thus the most far reaching change in your Company has been the amalgamation of the two other finance companies of the Kinetic Group into your Company. With this amalgamation, your Company would be able to reap the benefits of operations of scale and provide synergistic linkages besides economies in costs by combining the business functions and operations. Your Company also gets a nationwide reach and greater opportunities for growth and would be able to serve its clients from about 350 locations with a combined manpower of around 600 people and 40 of its own offices. An infrastructure and network of this dimension is unmatched in the NBFC industry today. The combined reach and marketing muscle of the amalgamated company would be harnessed to further capture market share by offering more and more better services to the customers. During the period under review, your Company has increased substantially the number of vehicles financed by extending easy credit facilities to consumers in its area of operations through its vast network of dealers. Accessibility, favourable terms, prompt service etc have been some of the factors which have helped in establishing the credibility of your Company as one of the leading two wheeler finance company. Kinetic Engineering Limited and Kinetic Motor Company Limited plan to launch new generation vehicles employing the latest available technologies. With this growth, your Company will be ready with innovation and attractive schemes to help the customer buy his dream vehicles, the Kinetic vehicle. The past performance of your Company has been good and the future looks brighter and your Company looks set to reach great heights. |
