Bradstreet noted by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 13th
May 2011, could not be fully achieved because of the adverse market
condition and the demand recession in both Europe and U.S. In the
current manufacturing operation although there is a small cash surplus
without considering the interest and depreciation but because of the
high interest cost on carry over debts there is a huge deficit. In the
current scenario repayment and servicing of the interest to the banks
and financial institutions will be under severe stress going forward.

of CDR. But this infusion has only helped in servicing the interest
during the year 2012-13. But to meet the future cash flow requirement
the marketing strategy, product mix and profitability will have to be
reworked and the management expects that even in the present scenario
the viability can be revived only by opting for one time settlement
with the banks and financial institutions. The management is working in
those lines and appropriate amount in respect of the settlement shall
