DELISTING OF EQUITY SHARES FROM GAUHATI, CALCUTTA AND AHEMDABAD STOCK EXCHANGES

As already stated, the equity shares of your Company are presently listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE), Ahmedabad Stock Exchange Limited (ASE), The Calcutta Stock Exchange Association Limited (CSE) and The Gauhati Stock Exchange Limited (GSE). The equity shares continue to be listed since the year 1995 at GSE, CSE and ASE after the initial public issue in September 1995 while the equity shares were listed at BSE on 28th February 2008 after the follow-on public offer cum rights issue of equity shares pursuant to offer document dated 18th December 2007. Post the Rights cum Follow on Public Issue, the equity shares of the company are getting traded on BSE only under DEMAT mode. Moreover, even prior to BSE listing, there was hardly any trading in the equity shares of the company at the other 3 stock exchanges during the last 6-7 years. The trading volume of companys equity shares since listing at BSE has been quite satisfactory to ensure liquidity to the members. In view of the same, your Directors, at their meeting held on 17th April 2008, have approved the voluntary delisting of equity shares of the company from GSE, CSE and ASE, subject to approval of members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and completion of necessary formalities in this regard in terms of SEBI (Delisting of Securities) Guidelines, 2003.

The proposed voluntary delisting of equity shares from the said three 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.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO

A statement giving details of conservation of energy, technology absorption, foreign exchange earnings and outgo in accordance with the Companies (Disclosure of Particulars in the Report of the Board of Directors) Rule, 1988, is annexed.

CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY

As the members are aware, 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) with the main object of manufacturing, processing and dealing in plastics, plastic products, plastic packaging and allied activities.

The company setup its Flexible Packaging Unit during 1988-89. at Guwahati (Assam), 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 Lamination and Printing plants besides 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 (Karnataka).

The PET Containers unit was expanded from time to time through various expansion plans undertaken by the company. In addition, the company commissioned a diversification plan for manufacture of Multi-layer containers during the year 2002-04 by setting up a new unit at Bangalore (Karnataka). 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.

As the members will observe from 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 designed and developed by the company suited to the specific customers technical specifications. Therefore, the Board at its meeting held on 30th June 2005 approved of the proposal to change the name of the company to suitably reflect on its present core competence and operations. Pursuant to section 21 of the Act, approval of the members and the Central Government is required to change the name of the company, and accordingly, the members approval is being sought at the ensuing Annual General Meeting while the Central Govt. will be approached in due course. The Directors commend the Resolution for members approval.

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.

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.

The analysis would reveal that although the operational performance in 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 environment. As assured in earlier reports, the Directors are exploring more remunerative markets for Company's products, including export markets in Asian region in order to boost the Company's 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 expanded level of operations.
