PERFORMANCE

Almost every business, every individual has been impacted in these times and your company is no exception to it. This is the time for us to show our strength and what we can achieve. We have worked harder and smarter now more than ever. The true spirit is founded on our enthusiasm, cost consciencness, willingness to assume responsibility and the Will to ensure that we succeed. Your company backed by a list of Multinationals and Indian Corporate Giants and remarkable processing talents was able to face those challenges by bolstering talent and cost effective plans across the company.

Your Directors have to state that during the year ended March 31, 2010 your Company has not been able to maintain its growth history. The World Economic Crisis and the slump in the global market had put the Industry in a very bad situation. Your directors have to further state that in spite of the slump in global market, the Indian scenario was a shade better. In these difficult times your Company managed to float and avert the crisis to the best ability of your Directors. Our main customers are related to the Automobile and Electrical Industry. Both these sectors were in the red since the global and the domestic market was low. There was panic in the Industry too. The company managed to control the overheads to offset the lower revenue, increase in prices of electricity & labour costs.

FUTURE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES - DIVERSIFICATION

The current business scenario of Toll Compounding of Engineering Polymers is still quite good; however the returns are disproportionate. We are one of the oldest Companies in the field of Engineering Polymers. Our Processing facilities and capabilities are state-of-the-art; so as to produce Quality material.

Thus as a business decision, we have identified 2 lines of activity.

Engineering Polymers Mosquito Bed Nets – ITNs & Untreated

You will be happy to note that on a detailed analysis, all the relevant factors are in our favour thus justifying our decision.

With this proposed line of business activity, your Directors are hopeful and optimistic of generating additional revenues at a higher rate than the existing line of activity. Moreover, the demand for this product will never be in slump due to the sheer size of the Market. Moreover, the domestic Market itself is quite large.

The existing expanded scale of our operations, future developments, low overheads, and qualities of products matching with International Standards are our inherent strengths. This in turn continues to give us unparalleled platform to be more competitive. We are focused to deliver superior values to customers, ensuring International qualities for all the products and services.
