In spite of this declining trend, the Company made a higher operational profit (before tax) of Rs.406.32 Lakhs as against Rs. 333.57 Lakhs for the earlier year, mainly due to better planning and cost management resulting in increased profits.

However, the Company had to make one time provision towards the losses incurred by its Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company (WOS) M/S Sherisha Technologies (S) Pte Ltd, Singapore.

The Board after taking into account the present recessionary trend in the economy and the possibilities of recessionary factors continuing into the major portion of next financial 2010-11 also, have not recommended any dividend for this fiscal period.

The Board hopes that with recessionary trends weaning away in the next financial year, the Company would be in a position to record better growth in the years to come and endeavor to reward the shareholder.

CURRENT INDUSTRY AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

During the period, your Companys sales had fallen drastically due to the fall in demand in Consumer durable and Air-Conditioning Industry. In spite of tough competition from the industry your Company has been steadily trying to maintain its market share. Your companys new product Refrigerant Gas in small cans have become a big hit in the market and have started supplementing the Cylinder sales. In few years time these Cans would reduce Marketing cost in Refrigerant gases by reducing the investment on cylinders and freight for movement of cylinders to and fro. Though your Company has tied up with many OEMs for supply of Refrigerant gases, your Company will be concentrating more on after Sales, Trade and Service Markets as the margins in this sector is much higher than the OEMs. Refex has become a brand which speaks of its quality in the Industry. Your Company has been successful in its endeavor to make Refrigerant gases a consumer product. Your Company with a state of the art refilling facility have earned a name with international manufacturers across the globe to market their products. In the current period the company has tied up with Daiken Arkema Refrigerants Asia Limited for exclusively marketing their specialty Refrigerant gases in India. This will increase the sale of speciality Refrigerants in the newer markets.

With rupee getting stronger the margins for the next season looks better. With Auto Consumer Durables, Cold storage, Refrigerated transportation etc looking up, the demand for your Companies product is set to go up. Your Company plans to increase its domestic market share of the HFC Brand Refrigerant in the next Two years, by continuously introducing new packing and products to cater to different segments. By following this line of approach your Company will contribute immensely to the non-ozone depleting products to the community at large.

During the financial period, the Company, secured members consent by way of postal ballot for amending the Memorandum of Association by inclusion of energy ventures as one of the Main objects, apart from its existing objects.

Your Company has been one of the first few to be awarded a project to set up a 5Mwp Solar Power plant under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) by NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited (NVVN). Your Company has already signed an MOU for the same on 24th July 2010 and the plant will be installed and commissioned within a period of 15 months. This is another endeavor by the Company to produce green energy and create a safer environment for our future generation.

The audited financial statements of the WOS namely, Sherisha Technologies (S) Pte Ltd, has been appended to this annual report as required under the Companies Act, 1956 and along with the statement under Section 212 of the Companies Act.
