Stock Exchanges will not adversely affect the interest of any investor
including the members located in the regions where the said Stock
Exchanges are situated. The equity shares are being compulsorily traded
in demat mode at BSE, which enables the investors to trade in the same
from anywhere in the country. As the equity shares shall continue to
remain listed on BSE, which has the national presence, no exit option
is required to be offered to the Shareholders. Further, the delisting
of equity shares from GSE, CSE and ASE will entail savings in Annual
Listing Fees and other related administrative costs. A Special
Resolution has accordingly been proposed for approval by the Members at
the ensuing annual general meeting of the company.
CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated as a private limited company on 13th
November 1987 under the name and style of "Manjushree Extrusions
Private Limited" having its registered office at Guwahati (Assam). The
company setup its Flexible Packaging Unit during 1988-89 at Guwahati,
which was equipped with Plastic Extruders to convert plastic granules
into plastic films by adopting extrusion process and thereafter
reconvert the same to plastic pouches and bags suited to customers
specifications with the aid of other auxiliary equipment. The company
was converted into a public limited company on 12th December 1994 and
thereafter made a public issue of shares in September 1995 to
facilitate the setting up of a PET Containers unit at Bangalore. In
addition, the company commissioned a diversification plan for
manufacture of
Multi-layer containers, with a thrust on export markets, during the
year 2002-04 by setting up a new unit at Bangalore. In order to
concentrate on its core and successful activity for manufacturing of
PET and Multilayer Containers, the company in the meantime disposed-
off the Guwahati Unit on 1st October 2000 with requisite approvals. The
registered office of the company was thereafter shifted from Assam to
Karnataka on 23rd May 2003 and the same is now located at 143C5,
Bommasandra Industrial Area, Hosur Road, Bangalore-560 099.
The company recently made a rights cum public issue of shares in order
to part finance its expansion cum diversification project for
manufacture of PET Preforms. The shares have been listed at Bombay
Stock Exchange in addition to existing stock exchanges at Guwahati,
Kolkata and Ahmedabad, where the shares have been listed since 1995.
In view of the above, the word "Extrusions" forming part of the
existing name of the company no longer correctly reflects on the
present core activity and strengths of the company, which are now
targeted more towards providing advanced packaging solutions to a host
of multinational and domestic companies in the field of innovative and
value added packaging medium in the form of Monolayer and Multilayer
Plastic containers besides PET Preforms designed and developed by the
company suited to the specific customers technical specifications.
Most of the equipment used by the company are imported, while the
products of the company are being exported to other countries. The
company has developed in-house R6tD Centre besides a unique Packaging
Museum to cater to its innovative efforts in this direction.
Therefore, it is proposed, subject to requisite approvals, to change
the name of the company to suitably reflect on its present core
competence and operations.
The Board of Directors has approved the proposed name of the company as
"Manjushree Global Limited" in view of the global nature of its present
as well as proposed operations. However, as the members may be aware,
the change of name is subject to availability of name from the
Registrar of Companies, Karnataka, Bangalore. Pursuant to section 21 of
the Act, approval of members and Central Government is also required to
change the name of the company. Accordingly, an enabling resolution is
being proposed at the ensuing annual general meeting for approval of
members, consequent upon which, necessary application will be made to
Registrar of Companies, Karnataka, Bangalore, as well as Central
Government seeking requisite approvals to give effect to change of name
of the company. However, the Board will have the liberty to adopt the
new name or any alternate name or retain the existing name, as may be
considered expedient indue course.

The analysis would reveal that the operational performance in terms of
turnover is higher at Rs.5150.14 lacs as compared to Rs. 3658.72 lacs
reflecting an increase of 41 % YOY, which is attributable to higher
capacity coupled with better capacity utilisation. The gross profit
has increased from Rs. 784.98 lacs to Rs. 939.81 lacs reflecting an
increase of 20% YOY, but has come down as a percentage of sales from
21.45% in 2004 to 18.25% in 2005, primarily due to increase in cost of
inputs, which could not be passed on to customers in present market
scenario.
The operating performance in terms of the net profit before tax during
the year is higher at Rs. 177.34 lacs as against a surplus of Rs.
152.29 lacs during the previous year reflecting an increase of approx.
16%, which should be considered quite satisfactory and encouraging.
The notes on accounts referred to in the Auditors Report are
self-explanatory and do not call for any further comments.
DIVIDEND
In view of comfortable cash generation during the year inspite of
substantial capital expenditure in the ongoing capacity expansion, the
Board at its meeting held on 31st January 2005 declared an interim
dividend @ 10% (involving an outflow of Rs. 47.61 lacs including
dividend tax) payable to those members whose names appeared in the
register of members on 1st March 2005, and the same has been duly paid
to such members. Considering the level of profit after tax, the Board
has resolved not to make any further distribution and recommends to the
members to consider the interim dividend already paid as the Final
Dividend for the year 2004-05. The surplus for the year amounting to
Rs. 64.81 lacs alongwith brought forward surplus of Rs. 458.59 lacs
aggregating to Rs. 523.40 lacs is proposed to be carried to the
Balance Sheet.
FINANCE
During the year under review, the company undertook further capacity
expansion plans with an outlay of approx. Rs. 900 lacs, which has been
funded to the tune of Rs. 600 lacs by State Bank of India by way of
term loan in addition to companys internal accruals. The company has
continued to avail financial assistance from its esteemed Bankers, SBI
by way of Rupee Term
Loans, Rupee Cash Credit limits and FCNRB Loans on extremely
competitive terms for its operational and capital expenditure
requirements. The Company has been regular in making scheduled
repayments against term loans availed from the Bank alongwith interest
due thereon. The Directors confirm that the funds obtained by the
company by way of term loans/working capital borrowings have been
duly utilised for the purposes for which the same are meant.
OPERATIONS
As already stated, the company undertook a planned capacity expansion
of its existing PET containers manufacturing facilities to raise the
installed capacity from 2250 MT to 2970 MT during the year while
further capacities are being added during the current year in line with
the market trends and potential. The capacity of Multilayer containers
unit has remained static at the earlier level of 480 MT resulting in
overall plant capacity of 3450 MT. As against the same, the company has
turned out impressive performance with a production of 2860 MT
resulting in a capacity utilisation of 83% on unannualised basis, which
is quite satisfactory. The turnover was also higher at 2765 MT as
against 2135 MT during the previous year. The company is continuing its
efforts towards expanding the market for Multilayer containers, the
technology whereof is being tried in the country for the first time and
therefore has to face the initial teething troubles, while the company
is quite confident of its potential considering the vast and virgin
market prospects for the product in Agro-chem, Pharma, Food Products,
Cosmetics and allied sectors. The company, in view of innovative edge
to its products aided by R&D efforts, continues to enjoy the patronage
of leading multinationals and domestic companies in the FMCG and allied
sectors and is confident of maintaining its operational growth in
future with assured demand for its products leading to consistent
increase in turnover and profitability.

the gross profit has increased from Rs. 558.66 lacs to Rs. 784.98 lacs
reflecting an increase of 41% YOY, which is attributable to higher
capacity coupled with better capacity utilisation, higher sales
realisation, controls on expenditure and growing market for companys
products.The operating performance in terms of the net profit after tax
during the year is higher at Rs. 97.77 lacs as against a surplus of Rs.
73.12 lacs during the previous year reflecting an increase of approx.
34% on YOY basis, which should be considered quite satisfactory and
encouraging.
The notes on accounts referred to in the Auditors Report are
self-explanatory and do not call for any further comments.
DIVIDEND
In view of major capital expenditure in the expansion - cum -
diversification projects during the previous year as well as the
current year, the Directors propose to skip dividend for the year in
order to conserve resources and also to conform to the companys
bankers stipulated credit rating requirements. The surplus for the
year amounting to Rs. 97.77 lacs alongwith brought forward surplus of
Rs. 360.82 lacs is accordingly proposed to be carried to the Balance
Sheet.
FINANCE
During the year under review, the company has commissioned the project
for manufacture of multilayer plastic containers with an outlay of
approx. Rs. 661 lacs. The company has continued to avail financial
assistance from its esteemed Bankers, State Bank of India by way of
Rupee Term Loans, Rupee Cash Credit limits and FCNRB Loans on extremely
competitive terms for its operational and capital expenditure
requirements. The Company has been regular in making scheduled
repayments against term loans availed from the Bank alongwith interest
due thereon. The Directors confirm that the funds obtained by the
company by way of term loans / working capital borrowings have been
duly utilised for the purposes for which the same are meant.
PET CONTAINERS UNIT
The PET containers unit has turned out impressive performance with a
sales turnover of Rs. 3122.77 lacs (including exports of Rs. 120.95
lacs) during the year as compared to Rs. 2771.57 lacs (including
exports of Rs. 88.99 lacs) in the previous year. The improved
performance is attributable to higher capacity utilisation, better
realisation in domestic and international markets and turnaround in the
FMGC markets leading to higher offtake for its products. In
quantitative terms, the sales during the year was 1821 MT (2003-1589
MT), while the produc- tion was 1802 MT (2003-1626 MT) reflecting an
average capacity utilisation of 86% of expanded capacity. The company
is confident of maintaining its operational growth in future with
assured demand for its products leading to consistent increase in
turnover and profitability.
MULTILAYER CONTAINERS UNIT
As already stated, the Company has commissioned its project for
manufacture of multilayer plastic containers in July 2003 during the
year. The technology is being tried in the country for the first time
and therefore has to face the initial teething troubles, which the
company hopes to overcome at a fast pace. The unit has still turned out
an impressive sales turnover of Rs. 535.94 lacs during the year against
a production of 343 MT and sales of 323 MT in quantitative terms, which
can be considered quite satisfactory. The company is confident of
expanding the market for multilayer containers to various MNCs in the
country considering the vast and virgin market prospects of the
product, which is likely to substantially replace the existing
packaging medium in Agro-chem, Pharma, Food Products, Cosmetics and
allied sectors. The company has taken necessary steps to enter into
long-term arrangements for the products with leading companies like
Hindustan Lever, Nestle and Heinz besides leading agrochemicals
companies in the field.

As you are aware, the Flexible Packaging Unit of the Company at
Guwahati was disposed off w. e. f. 1st Oct. 2000, as such the
performance for the year ended 31st March 2001 consists of 6 months
operational performance of erstwhile Guwahati Unit also. As such, the
figures for the years 2001 and 2002 are not strictly comparable.
The analysis would reveal that the operational performance in terms of
sales as well as operating profits has marginally come down during the
year as compared to the previous year. The overall sales turnover is
lower at Rs. 1910.19 lacs as compared to Rs. 2306.37 lacs, while the
gross profit of the Company has come down from Rs. 472.26 lacs to Rs.
393.88 lacs. The net profit after tax during the year is lower at Rs.
43.34 lacs as against a surplus of Rs. 91.55 lacs during the previous
year, primarily because of profit on disposal of Guwahati unit
amounting to Rs. 55.16 lacs earned during the previous year.
The downtrend in sale and gross profit levels is mainly due to lower
offtake by the FMGC sector in view of overall sluggishness in the world
economy besides the consistent rise in cost of inputs, which is getting
difficult to be passed on to customers under the present day
competitive environment. However, the Directors continue to explore
more remunerative export markets for Companys products in the Asian
region, besides looking for diversification opportunities in related
sectors in order to boost the Companys profitability.
The notes on accounts referred to in the Auditors Report are
self-explanatory and do not call for any further comments.
DIVIDEND
in view of downtrend in profitability, the Directors propose to skip
dividend during the current year in order to conserve resources for
stabilisation of the present level of operations. The Surplus for the
year amounting to Rs. 43.34 Lacs alongwith the brought forward surplus
of Rs. 370.45 Lacs is proposed to be carried to the Balance Sheet.
FINANCE
The Company has been regular in making scheduled repayments against the
Term Loans availed from State Bank of India for financing the PET
Containers Unit alongwith interest due thereon. The Company is also
availing various fund based/non-fund based facilities from the Bank to
meet its Working Capital requirements. The Directors confirm that the
funds obtained by the Company from its bankers by of Term Loan/Working
Capital Borrowings have been duly utilised for the purposes for which
the same are meant.
PET CONTAINERS UNIT
The operating performance of PET Containers unit at Bangalore has been
marginally down with a sales turnover (net of taxes) of Rs. 1910.19
Lacs during the year as compared to Rs. 2088.07 lacs in the previous
year representing a decrease of 8.52%. The shortfall may be attributed
to lower offtake by customers as well as the incidence of sales tax and
turnover tax amounting to Rs. 47.93 lacs during the current year, which
was almost nil in the previous year. However the Company continues to
enjoy the patronage of leading institutional customers for its
products, and has continued to make inroads in the export markets
during the current year also with successful results in export market.
In quantitative terms, the sales during the year was 1096.065 MT
(2001-1169.714 MT), while the production was 1115.437 MT (2001-1186.547
MT), reflecting a decrease of 6.30% and an average capacity utilisation
of 93% on present Installed Capacity. However the Company is confident
of a turnaround in the market scenario very soon and of maintaining its
operational growth in future too.
DIVERSIFICATION PROJECT
The company is exploring the possibility of venturing into a
diversification project for manufacture of Multilayer Containers for
application in Food Processing, Pharmaceuticals, Pesticides and Agro-
chemicals sector, which has a vast potential demand in the country.
Necessary action in being initiated in this direction and the Directors
would keep you apprised of further developments in this regard in due
course.
SHIFTING OF REGISTERED OFFICE
As you are aware, the Company, pursuant to requisite approvals of the
members as well as the companys bankers, disposed off the immovable
and movable properties of its Flexible Packaging unit at Guwahati w. e.
f 1st October 2000 by executing necessary agreement of sale in favour
of the buyers. As such, the company is now left with practically no
business or commercial activity at Guwahati or in the State of Assam.
The Companys existing factory and works are now located at Bangalore
in Karnataka. The Company is registered under the Karnataka Sales Tax
Act and Central Sales Tax Act. The PET containers manufacturing unit of
the Company at Bangalore has continued to turn in impressive
performance right since commissioning of operations during the year
1996, with further expansion during the year 1999, and the Company is
confident of maintaining its operational growth in future with
corresponding increase in turnover and profitability.
As the companys entire activities are now being substantially
controlled and managed from Companys office at Bangalore (Karnataka),
the maintenance of Registered Office at Guwahati (Assam) has become
progressively unmanageable as well as uneconomical. The Board of
Directors therefore feels that in the interest of the Company, it would
be just, necessary, expedient, and desirable to have the Registered
Office of the Company shifted from the State of Assam to the State of
Karnataka, so that entire activities of the Company can be carried on
more economically, advantageously and efficiently from one and the same
place. Since the shifting of registered office requires approval of
members besides confirmation of the Company Law Board, necessary
enabling resolution is being moved at the ensuing AGM for consideration
and approval of the members.

terms of sales has improved as compared to the previous year, the net
profit after tax during the year is lower at Rs.32.74 lacs as against a
surplus of Rs.34.82 lacs during the previous year. This is mainly as a
result of charge of full liability on account of Entry Tax in respect
of Bangalore Unit assessed during the year under review pursuant to
judgement of the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court amounting to Rs.15.70
Lacs. Moreover, there has been a consistent rise in input costs, which
could not be passed on to customers under the present day competitive

export markets in Asian region in order to boost the Company's
profitability.
