Though H1 FY 2017-18 first quarter was good, Q3 FY 2016-17 was the worst in the year as we had several natural calamities with delayed material deliveries. Customer demands for the existing products & packages were volatile however have seen phased increased in order receipts. Your Company had maintained good relationship with all its Customers in US & Europe and have seen good improvement in capturing business from one of the big Customers in the US. It is expected to improve production orders in FY 2018-19. The outlook for FY 2018-19 is good and SPEL has plans to induct new Customers from Europe & US regions.

2. Dividend

Due to the loss for the year, dividend could not be paid during the year.

3. Reserves

The reserves of the Company has been reduced from Rs 49,01.97 lakhs to Rs 40,90.24 lakhs at the end of the year.

4. The Global Semiconductor Industry

According to Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing U.S. leadership in Semiconductor manufacturing, design, and research, worldwide sales of Semiconductors reached $111.1 billion during the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 20 percent compared to the first quarter of 2017, but 2.5 percent less than the fourth quarter of 2017. Sales for the month of March 2018 came in at $37.0 billion, an increase of 20 percent com pared to the March 2017 total of $30.8 billion and 0.7 percent more than the February 2018 total of $36.8 billion.

Regionally, year-to-year sales increased in America (35.7 percent), Europe (20.6 percent), China (18.8 percent), Asia Pacific/All Other (13.3 percent), and Japan (12.4 percent). Month-to-month sales increased in Europe (3.9 percent), China (2.2 percent), Japan (0.5 percent), and Asia Pacific/All Other (0.2 percent), but decreased slightly in the Americas (-2.0 percent)

Forecast for FY 2018-19

Despite the upward revision for 2018, the quarterly growth profile for 2018 is expected to fall back to a more normal pattern with a mid-single-digit sequential decline in the first quarter of the year, followed by a recovery and buildup in both the second and third quarters of 2018, and a slight decline in the fourth quarter.

Worldwide Semiconductor revenue is forecast to total $451 billion in 2018, an increase of 7.5 percent from $419 billion in 2017, according to Gartner, Inc. This represents a near doubling of Gartner''s previous estimate of 4 percent growth for 2018 Market Drivers for future

It was a growth year for the Semiconductor industry in 2017. Semiconductor earnings were driven by increasing memory prices, a boost in crypto currency, increasing adoption of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) by Data Centers and Cloud Companies for Al (Aartificial Intelligence) tasks, and the growing popularity of e-sports.

Although the Semiconductor industry may not be able to replicate the double-digit growth it saw in 2017, it could continue to grow in 2018. The US Congress passed its tax reform bill in December 2017, which could make US Companies more competitive with their overseas competitors.

Another major development could be the adoption of Al (Artificial Intelligence) Technology across various verticals. Handset makers Apple and Samsung have already brought Al functionality to smartphones. The drone market is growing, and 2018 may see the commercial rollout of Al-powered drones throughout the world, many industries, from construction to healthcare, could adopt Al technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs

Next major development could be the shift to a 10 nm (Nanometer) node by Intel, which could put it back in a technological advantage. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) and Samsung could also shift to a 7 nm node, but that would be equivalent to Intel''s 10 nm node. The move to a smaller node could bring significant cost savings and improve the performance of the chips.

The Semiconductor industry could also come closer to the deployment of 5G (fifth-generation) technology. Although that may not generate any revenues in 2018, it could create significant growth opportunities for the future. Even AR/VR (Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) adoption could pick up in the industrial as well as gaming space as Companies such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) work to make wireless headsets more user-friendly.

Outsourced Assembly and Test (OSAT) Industry

The Global Semiconductor assembly and testing services (SATS) market was valued at US$ 27,700 Mn in 2017 and is expected to register a CAGR of 4.7% from 2018 to 2027. Growing demand of consumer electronics, increasing integration of electronics and connectivity in automotive are major factors driving growth of the global Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Services (SATS) market.

On the basis of application, the global Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Services (SATS) market is segmented into communication, computing & networking, consumer electronics, industrial and automotive. The revenue contribution from the consumer electronics segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2018-2027.

Among the regions, Taiwan is projected to exhibit relatively high growth in the global market, registering a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period. Revenue from the Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Services (SATS) Market in North America and APAC (excluding Taiwan) is expected to collectively account for over 40% of the global Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Services (SATS) Market revenue in 2017.

Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Services providers can focus on expanding their footprints across several countries in APAC and Europe regions such as India and UK. The Indian Semiconductor Industry

India is strongly focusing on Semiconductor manufacturing, It is expected that the increased demand for modern chip designs and growing demand for electronics devices would drive the need of Semiconductor IP designing. The Indian Semiconductor component market is expected to be worth USD 32.35 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% between 2018 and 2025.

The Indian Semiconductor ecosystem is quite robust, with most of the major global Semiconductor players having their R&D centers in India. In addition to global R&D centers, the past decade has seen quite a few Indian entrepreneurs starting their own fabless IP or SoC design houses. India is a highly attractive destination for global R&D centers owing to the availability of talent, as well as lower cost (compared with the US and Western Europe).

"India''s ESDM (Electronics System, Design & Manufacturing) sector is poised to reach $228 billion by 2020 from $100 billion in 2016-17, growing at 16-23 per cent annually," said a joint report of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and global services firm Ernst & Young (EY) at a summit.

5. Company Performance

The performance of your Company had improved significantly as compared to previous Financial Year and plans are in place to further improve significantly during the years to come. This is evident from the business with most of the Important / Growing / Emerging Customers is on the rise during Q1 FY 2018-19. There have been improved orders, new product introductions & Customer additions during this year. This was made possible due to the Engineering, Application support from SPEL apart from the QCDS factors (Quality, Cost, Delivery, and Service).

Withdrawal of Buyer''s Credit facility by RBI from middle of Mar 2018 is another policy change which has resulted strain on already tight cash flow. Earlier implementation of GST from July 2017 onwards had placed additional strain as we had to pay GST on all our imported materials including on wafers and later on claim refund. We had paid GST till middle of Oct and applied for refund and there had been delay in obtaining refund. Above policy changes by Government has affected our operations to a very major extent. SPEL was able to strengthen relationship with its one of the biggest European Customers and the volumes are growing. The outlook for FY2018-19 is good and other strategic partnership for new projects in the field of Aero Space & Medical.The demand for the packages supported by SPEL is steady for leaded packages and growing for QFNs and contribution is expected to increase in future years.

a. Leaded Packages - SPEL in able to find opportunities for increased loading from existing Customers to utilize the available capacity. No new capacity additions have been planned.

Directors’ Report

The Directors present the 31^st Annual Report of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the year ended Mar 31, 2016.

1. Financial Highlights / Performance

The Operating results of your Company for the year ended Mar 31, 2016 are given below

(Rs, in Lakhs)

Particulars	Year ended	Year ended
	Mar 31, 2016	Mar 31, 2015
Sales	25,85.04	47,19.37
Other Income	81.74	1,37.81
PBIDT	(9,39.79)	13,70.71
Interest	3,04.40	4,06.71
Depreciation	10,71.32	10,12.40
Profit / (Loss) before} Exceptional item	(22,47.94)	(48.40)
Exceptional item	(1,14.39)	-
Profit/ (Loss) before Taxation	(23,62.33)	(48.40)
Tax / Deferred Tax	(3,83.33)	(13.18)
Profit / (Loss) after Taxation	(19,79.00)	(35.22)

During the year combined outcome of Labour unrest, tight cash flow situation, devastating floods and reduction in Customer demand due to traditional year-end holidays, resulted in the above loss.

The above loss was taken after including Rs, 3,98 lakhs from write-off the carrying value of the certain items of plant and machinery and impairment loss of certain other items of plant and machinery.

However, the Forecast from top Customers for FYQ4 2016-17 is positive which will result in reducing losses during FY 2016-17.

2. Dividend

Due to the loss for the year, dividend could not be paid for the year.

3. Reserves

The reserves of the Company have been reduced from Rs, 40,85.75 Lakhs to Rs, 21,06.75 Lakhs at the end of the year.

4. Semiconductor - Global & Indian scenario During FY 2015- 16

The Semiconductor industry witnessed slow growth in 2015 after enjoying strong growth in 2014. This was due to 3.9% YoY (Year-over-Year) growth in the Asia-Pacific region that was offset by a 10.3% fall in Japan and 8.2% fall in Europe. Moreover, the demand for Semiconductors was affected by the slowdown in PC (Personal Computer) shipments, a strengthening US dollar, economic contraction in Japan, the European crisis, and the crash of the Chinese Stock Market. China accounts for more than 50% of the global Semiconductor consumption.

In the India context, the Indian Semiconductor industry offers high growth potential areas as the industries which source Semiconductors as inputs are themselves witnessing high demand. The end-use industries such as mobile devices, telecommunication equipment, information technology, office automation (IT & OA), industrial machinery, automobiles and several other industries have applications for computing in some form or other and thereby necessarily have growing demand for Semiconductors. Now with the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) picking up momentum, the next generation of interconnected devices would further increase the demand for intelligent computing, thereby creating sustainable demand for Semiconductors.

Forecast for FY 2016-17

The Semiconductor market will pick up its pace over the coming years, with 1.4% growth in 2016 and 3.1% growth in 2017. However, the 9.9% growth witnessed in 2014, before the slowdown, is unlikely to repeat in the near term. The forecast is based on the assumption that the macro economy will revive during this period.

According to the 2016 forecast, the highest growth will come from the Americas region, followed by a revival in Japan and loss improvement in Europe. However, the Asia-Pacific region—the key Semiconductor market that has been driving growth in the industry so far—will witness a slowdown, mainly due to China’s weak economy, all regions are expected to post growth in 2017.

Looking from the product perspective, all Semiconductor products to report growth, except for memory in 2016 as the demand for PC and Smartphone’s slows. However, growth is expected to gain momentum in 2017 over the anticipation of renewed demand for PCs.

b. Professionalism : defines us as Individuals

c. Citizenship : defines our contribution to Society

Dividend Due to inadequate profits dividend could not be paid during the year. SPEL performance during the year

SPEL Semiconductor Limited is India''s first & only Semiconductor IC Assembly & Test Company with a successful track record. Established in 1988, the Company is a 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU), diligently serving Customers in the United States of America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The existing capacity is 425 million units per annum. SPEL is a reliable source to over 50 global Customers.

The financial year 2013-14 witnessed disquieting oscillations in demand followed by a slowdown during the second and third quarters. However, SPEL contracted new relationships and quelled the turbulence with foresight and cost economy. This helped improve gains from existing Customers and in fold new Clients in USA and Europe.

SPEL has presence in US among the Top 20 Semiconductor Companies. The Company has made strategic moves in Europe into sectorial demands of Industrial & Automotive components. Customized package solutions and service will help expand its spread in this region.

The capacity utilization in the last fiscal quarter of 2013-14 improved. It is now proposed to invest on Equipment and Processes that give an edge to technology and cost efficiency besides enhancing capacity. SPEL has introduced the Ultra-Thin Quad Flat No-leads(QFN) package during the current year leading upto a package thickness of 0. 4.m. The potential for increased earnings is high.

Natronix Semiconductor Technology Private Limited becomes the Holding Company

During the year under review, Southern Petrochemical Industries Corporation Limited (SPIC) which held 55.97 percent of the Company''s Equity Share Capital, sold its entire Shareholding to Natronix Semiconductor Technology Private Limited, Singapore (Natronix). Natronix was granted exemption by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) from the obligation of making an Open Offer under SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 vide Order No. WTM/PS/42/CFD-DCR/ SEPT/2013 dated Sep 6, 2013. With this acquisition of Equity Shares, Natronix became the Holding Company of SPEL from Mar 24, 2014.

Next 3 Year Goals (FY 2014-15 to FY 2017-18)

Assiduous will be taken to strengthen operations investing to enhance capacity, upgrade technology, seek new markets and achieve rigid cost economy. The strategy ahead will be,

1. To work for a market distribution consisting of 50% in United States, 30% in Europe & 20% in rest of the world.

2. To diversify application base bringing in Medical, Auto-Aero and Industrial segments and expanding supplies.

3. To introduce new package variants every year.

4. Thrust on Research & Development for to attain technological excellence and leadership.

5. To build up cash reserves equivalent to a year''s expenses.

6. Continued focus on Green Environment.

Your Company has responded to hard times and slackness in demand by hacking costs, in folding new Customers, developing new products and improving the qualifications. Besides, constraints were removed, equipment was modernized to support new enhanced product mix and tasks for the future were identified. SPEL will thus be able to stand its ground and stride with confidence. Our approach including manpower rationalization has been pro- active and has secured us from the vicissitudes of Pricing and Recession.

Causes of concern

i. The shift in pattern to low pin count packages from high pin count packages contracts optimum capacity utilization.

ii. There was an alteration to the package mix by Customers with reference from what was to the disruption of Planning and Production.

iii. SPEL has to be ever alert to respond to its Customer''s emerging requirements. This requires investments on critical Equipment like (a) Die Attach Systems - to address increased loading in low pin counts, (b) Wire bonders - to enable copper bonding and overcoming obsolescence, (c) Handlers to handle QFN small package mix.

iv. Increasing resort to captive power generation in the wake of mounting power shortage depressed the PAT.

How addressed : The Management met these challenges with fortitude as has been explained in the notes above and chiefly with the grit of its Employees, Suppliers & Customers notwithstanding the global melt down. Investments were made in critical areas with assistance from Banks. Alternate power solutions are being employed to combat Power Cost.

Subsidiary

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

SPEL''s medium for CSR is through Socio-Economic Contribution (S-E-C) and SPEL Employees Social Service Organization (SESSO).

S-E-C

For most people, the idea of Social Service is donating money to a social organization - perhaps an old-age home or an orphanage or similar. This however is the easy part. The difficult part is volunteering one''s time to improve society.

When can we make a contribution to Society

- During Phase 1 of our lifetime, perhaps up to the age of 35, we are so focused on building our careers, starting our families & establishing a name for ourselves

- During Phase 2, perhaps from age of 35 thru 65, we are the most active in our work, working as a team, being able to significantly contribute to Economic Development

- During Phase 3 perhaps from age 65 onwards, we are most able to contribute our time on an increased basis to social causes

S-E-C at SPEL is all about how we can contribute socially during Phase 2 itself while also handling Economic Development. Towards this, there are 3 areas that each of us can assist by making these a part of our day-to-day approach :

1. Following discipline in any and everything we do

2. Providing a helping hand to people around us in any way we possibly can

3. Showing the right path forward to people around us

S-E-C in SPEL is primarily done by One-to-One Mentoring as each person encourages & motivates the other, towards a more purposeful & effective lifestyle.

SESSO

As part of the Core Values, following activities were undertaken through SESSO during the previous year.

i) Provided educational assistance to the needy people in and around the Factory.

ii) Conducted a voluntary Blood Donation Camp.

iii) Provided assistance to an orphanage and old age home located near the Factory.

Mar 31, 2013

The Directors hereby present the 28th Annual Report of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the year ended Mar 31, 2013.

Semiconductor - Global & Indian scenario

Global Scenario : The Global Semiconductor sales for the year 2012 were US$299.9 Billion, a decrease of 2.6% compared to 2011 according to Gartner Inc. The normal drivers of Semiconductor industry growth — the computing, wireless, consumer electronics and automotive electronics sectors — all suffered serious disruption in 2012. Even the industrial / medical, wired communications and military/aerospace sectors ordinarily less affected by changes in consumer sentiment suffered severe declines in Semiconductor consumption. Excess inventory levels also remained a growth inhibitor.

As per World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organization (WSTS), highest growth of 10.5% achieved in America and 7.8% growth in APAC. However Europe (-4.9%) & Japan (-12.3%) markets slowed down.

QFN is still widely used in applications across all segments. However, there is excess capacity in the industry for the traditional QFN packages that was built during the industry boom in 2010. Chip designers are designing more products in the Fan-in and Flip Chip categories. The next recovery cycle expected in 2013 will help to utilize the capacity built at SPEL. The growth for leaded packages is declining but SPEL is able to maintain similar performance as of FY 2011-12 due to Customer bases in niche packages and applications

Indian Scenario : Your Company adequately represented the Electronics policy to the concerned Ministry through various industry associations. The Ministry is planning to rollout new policy on the IT Hardware during the current year. This will give an impetus to the Domestic units as the Ministry is planning to procure their requirements to various Government departments from these companies.

Your Company is making its presence felt in the IC requirements for the Government organizations/Ministry of Defence and domestic Industries. Your Company is looking for volume growth in commercially viable projects with various Government Departments.

Forecast for 2013 by segment

Internet-capable converging technologies and mobile electronic systems will keep demand for ICs strong through 2016.

The PC industry is struggling to identify innovations that differentiate PCs from other products and inspire consumers to buy and instead is meeting significant resistance to changes perceived as cumbersome or costly. PC industry efforts to offer touch capabilities and ultra slim systems have been hampered by traditional barriers of price and component supply, as well as a weak reception for Windows 8.

- Tablet and Ultrabook PCs — Demand continues to surge for Table PCs and anticipation is building for new Ultrabook PCs.

- Smartphones — Smartphones remain by far the fastest growing segment of the cell phone market IC content represents about 31% of the average selling price of a smartphone, whereas IC content in a basic cell phone is 23%. The success of 3G/4G smartphones is set to continue having a big impact on the future analog, DSP, logic, and NAND flash memory IC markets.

- Smart TVs — Internet capability has replaced 3D as the must have technology in 2013. Despite "upgrade fatigue,” consumers are drawn to Internet-connected Smart TVs, a favourite trend for suppliers of LED drivers, power management ICs, and MCUs/MPUs, which are expected to be big winners in this market segment.

- Smart Grids and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) — Home appliances and other residential electrical systems are being designed to interact and communicate with power-utility companies and Customers via the Internet. Global investment in smart grid technology is forecast to grow 19% annually through 2016.

SPEL performance during the year

SPEL got into supply chain of a consumer electronic major in Q1 and registered impressive volumes in Q2. However, these volumes dropped to Zero due to the cold response for their latest products. Also, the volumes for TDFN''s/ UDFN''s fell sharply amongst two of the major Customers from Q3 due to the falling demand for feature cell-phones & end Customer preference to other packaging options like WLCSP

Migration to Cu wire happened briskly in the second half and currently 15% of volumes processed in Cu wire that had a revenue impact in terms of ASP. Continued slowdown in PC market has affected business for SPEL as they are the major consumers of Semiconductors. Some of our Customer''s business are affected due to decrease in product life cycle because of frequent design changes / uncertainty in demand.

SPEL has focused on markets in Taiwan / Europe, have made progress and qualified new Customers. It expects to see revenues coming in from FY 2013-14. Your Company has formalized aggressive marketing strategies across the globe to tap the potential market.

Cause of concern

PC market continued its downward trend for the most part of 2012 falling further sharply in 1Q13. Industry observers are surprised at the steep fall of 13.9% during 1Q13 which is more than their estimated 7.7% decline.

Despite some mild improvement in the economic environment and some new PC models offering Windows 8, PC shipments were down significantly across all regions

compared to a year ago. Fading Mini Notebook shipments have taken a big chunk out of the low-end market while tablets and smartphones continue to divert consumer spending.

Continued power crisis and its consequent increase in power cost because of DG usage, and substantial outflow of interest payment, has strained the operating cost.

How addressed

The Management with its strong commitment and extensive support from its Employees, Suppliers & Customers, maintained its position, despite the Global Slowdown and Economic Crisis in Europe. Investments were made to address the vital requirements of operation with Bank''s assistance. Your Company is also sourcing alternate power solutions to combat ever increasing power cost.

Sales Network established to serve Asia Pacific / Europe regions.

Financial Performance

The Operating results of your Company for the year ended Mar 31, 2013 are given below :

Profit before Taxation (569.32) 75.49

Tax / Deferred Tax (116.15) 21.20

Profit after Taxation (453.17) 54.29

Due to this increased expenditure on manpower, power, marketing expenses, other overheads, which were necessitated due to operational growth, had an impact on contribution. All the package lines of your Company are in good demand and are expected to increase the contribution in future years.

Emphasis on Values

Your Company has adopted the following as its Values. The Management is highly committed to put these in practice such that all Employees understand. Training sessions are conducted every month such that all Employees attend this program at least once in 6 months :

Mar 31, 2012

The Directors hereby present the 27th Annual Report of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the year ended Mar 31, 2012.

Semiconductor - Global & Indian scenario

Global Scenario: The Semiconductor industry grew by less than 1% in 2011 despite weak global economic scenario and natural disasters that affected production in Asia. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) projected that the industry's worldwide sales will hit $301 billion in 2012

- a 0.4% increase over 2011 sales of $299.50 billion. Beyond 2012, the industry is expected to grow at a significantly faster pace across all regions, Prediction is for a 7.2% growth for 2013 ($322 billion in total sales) and 4.4% growth for 2014 ($337 billion).

The PC shipments have crossed the 89 million mark globally in the Q1 CY 2012, showing a growth of a 1.9% over shipments 87 million in the same quarter last year. As per Gartner, a research agency, these results have exceeded their earlier projections of a 1.2% decline for the quarter. Also the Mobile phone production is expected to grow 6.7% with semiconductor revenue for mobile phones totaling $57.2 billion in 2012.

Indian Scenario: The national policy on Electronics will have an impact across the board and present several new opportunities. The demand for electronics goods in the country in 2011-12 stood at $69.6 billion, with less than half of this sourced locally. With studies pegging the demand at $400 billion and local production at $100 billion by 2020, the country is expected to import goods and components worth $300 billion.

This year will be characterized by opportunities and challenges. The policy if implemented has the potential to be a game changer with far reaching consequences for all of us. This policy will address the huge gap between locally produced electronics and the demand for it. Notwithstanding a weak global economic environment the industry expects boost in demand following the Government of India's decision to connect 2.5 lakh villages with broad band facilities during 2012. Roll out of the National knowledge network project would also be crucial for the industry. Consumer, Industrial and medical segment is also expected to do significantly well during this year.

Forecast for 2012 by segment: The communication segment forecast calls for the strongest semiconductor growth in 2012-13 as it will have 5.5% growth followed by computing industry 4.2% growth.

From an application perspective, smart phones, mobile PCs and tablets will fuel semiconductor growth through 2014. Total smartphone shipments will reach 659.8 million units in 2012-13, up 33.5% from the 494.2 million units shipped in 2011. Gartner estimates that semiconductor revenue from tablets will grow from $2.4 billion in 2010 to $17.8 billion in 2014. India and Brazil are estimated to be in the top five countries in smart phone usage and sales.

In the PC market, consumer PC purchases grown to 1.8% in 2011 as per International Data Corporation and expected to grow 5% in 2012 and 9.5% in 2013. However, some of this slowdown is being made up for by stronger-than- expected sales of tablets. Revenue for other PC semiconductor components, including CPUs, will increase.

The outlook for mobile phone production has improved. Overall semiconductor revenue from mobile phones is on pace to total $51.85 billion in 2011. In 2012, worldwide semiconductor revenue from mobile phones is projected to reach $57.31 billion, a 10.5% increase from 2011.

SPEL performance during the year

Your Company continues still to be 1st & only Semiconductor IC assembly & Test production facility. It is continuously maintaining this position despite the market fluctuations and other external factors. SPEL continues to be a trusted & strategic contract manufacturing partner for many of the world's leading Semiconductor companies.

Your Company faced various challenges during the current financial year and it was addressed efficiently. In the process it also addressed (a) Production bottlenecks to improve productivity (b) Modernization of equipment for enhanced product mix and (c) equipping itself for future expansions. This would enable SPEL to address increased outsourcing from present & potential Customers in future. Due to these pro-active approaches, SPEL had effectively handled the pricing pressures that resulted from the recession and emerged with reduced impact.

Cause of concern

a. The change in Customer loading pattern, i.e. increase in low pin-count packages volumes in place of higher pin-count packages has affected optimum utilization of operating capacity.

b. Increased QFN / DFN packages loading at the expense of leaded packages have resulted in skewed capacity utilization creating bottlenecks in certain areas.

c. SPEL has to respond to critical Customer's requirement for future growth. They are very high volumes and low Average Selling Price (ASP) products. These requirements can be met only if continuous investments are made in certain Assembly and Test Equipment

d. Imposed power restrictions resulted in increased diesel consumption which contributed to reduction in PAT during the year.

How addressed: The Management with its strong commitment and extensive support from its Employees, Suppliers & Customers, maintained its position, despite the Global Slowdown and Economic Crisis in Europe. Investments were made to address the vital requirements of operation with Bank's assistance. Your Company is also sourcing alternate power solutions to combat ever increasing power cost.

The Customer portfolio has widened with reduced dependency on single Customer. Also, your company serves three of the top 20 Semiconductor Companies in the world. Significant product wins achieved during last quarter for very high volume requirements for hand held applications where small device foot-print is needed.

Sales Network established to serve Asia Pacific / Europe regions.

Financial Performance

Mar 31, 2011

The Directors have great pleasure in presenting the 26th Annual Report of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the year ended Mar 31, 2011. Your Company completed its Silver Jubilee year with the whole hearted support and contribution from all its Stakeholders.

Global and Indian Industry scenario

The global "Great Recession" during the year 2009 shook up the global Semiconductor industry in a major way but the year 2010 has brought in a lot of confdence to the Semiconductor industry and to the global economy as a whole.

The Semiconductor industry has risen by 31.8% in the year 2010. The outlook for the year 2011 looks promising with a 9% growth predicted; global Semiconductor revenues are expected to reach US$ 325 Billion up from US$ 298 Billion in 2010.

Of the total revenues forecasted for the year 2011, about 40 percent can be attributed to the computing industry, which accounted for sales of $113 Billion. The rapidly growing smart phone segment accounted for about $80 Billion in sales in 2010 and is expected to grow although there is pressure on price points to remain low.

There are huge growth opportunities for the electronic industry in India, but there have been some missed opportunities in the past decade. So, while the future holds a lot of promise, we need to address existing challenges in infrastructure, taxation, supply chain and logistics, labour laws, R&D and funding.

SPEL performance during the year

Your Company still continues to be First & only Semiconductor IC Assembly & Test production facility. It is continuously maintaining this position despite the market fuctuations and other external factors. SPEL continues to be a trusted & strategic contract manufacturing partner for many of the worlds leading Semiconductor companies.

Your Company had invested around Rs.6.00 Crores during the 1st Quarter, to address (a) Production bottlenecks to improve productivity

(b) Modernization of equipment for enhanced product mix and

(c) equipping itself for future expansions. This would enable SPEL to address increased outsourcing from present & potential Customers during FY 2011-12.

Various cost & energy saving measures initiated during FY 2009-10 have started producing positive results. Due to these proactive approaches and manpower rationalization SPEL effectively handled the pricing pressures that resulted from the recession and emerged with reduced impact.

The Computing segment reported a sliding trend in the US & Europe during Q2 FY 2010-11. However, SPEL was able to maintain revenues during this quarter due to its balanced exposure across Communications, Computing & Consumer Electronics. The impact on sales was mainly due to the comparable impact on volatile foreign currency parity. It was also due to change in pattern of raw material consumption of smaller pin count packages, without corresponding price increase. The rising power & diesel cost is a major cause for concern.

Rise of gold prices has propelled your Company towards investment in copper-process tools. SPEL will place most of its above expansion on leading-edge process and cooper-interconnect process capacities, both of which are estimated to boost the Company`s revenue and earnings during FY 2011-12.

Towards the beginning 2011 SPEL started investing Rs. 22 Croes in production equipment which will increase its capacity. Funded by a term loan from nationalized banks, this expansion is primarily on leading-edge process & copper-interconnect capacities. The additional capacity will be available from 1st quarter of FY 2011-12, fetching increased sales and enabling SPEL to further diversify package & market base.

The Management with its strong commitment and extensive support from its Employees, Suppliers & Customers, has continued to maintain its position as Proft Making Company, despite the Global Slowdown and Economic Crisis.

Dividend

Your Directors would like to place on record their appreciation for the Shareholders patient waiting for these days.

SPEL believes in business sustenance. Sustainability is not about what a Company does with its profts but how it makes profts. It is the business process itself. Towards this Company had invested in the Capex around Rs. 23 Crores, from the Allahabad Bank and through internal generations. These investments had helped the Company in offsetting the falling ASP, and had assisted to improve the PE ratio. Your Company is keenly concentrating on creating cash reserves, as the need for this is increasing, as Customers want to see this in place.

Your Companys above initiatives have assisted in maintaining PAT. However, you would concur that your Company has consolidated itself for achieving a strong fnancial position conducive for this.

Mar 31, 2010

The Directors have great pleasure in presenting the 25th Annua! Report of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the year ended Mar 31, 2010. Your Company is celebrating its Silver Jubilee during this year with the support & encouragement from all its Stakeholders.

Global and Indian Industry scenario

While the worst is definitely over, 2009 will probably be known as one of the steepest revenue declines in Semiconductor history due to a drop in orders. The official Semiconductor recession however started with the Q4 2008 financial reports, but could be seen even earlier in the year with failing forecasts and bulging inventories. So realistically it was the Semiconductor debacle of 2008-09. Early part of FY 2009 has been very difficult to most of the Semiconductor companies; some of them havent been able to handle the economics. Many others have realigned their market strategies and entered into strategic mergers to be able to weather the recession.

The global economic slowdown has severely impacted the Semiconductor industry leading to piling up of inventories and reduced capital expenditure. However in 2010 the Semiconductor market is expected to grow by 20% as per latest estimations by Gartner. Compared to last year, outlook for the Semiconductor industry appears to be healthier. In fact, the confidence level of most companies is quite similar to the level seen in 2007. Industry executives are very bullish on the future growth prospects of energy efficient and renewable products. In summary, while the Semiconductor industry is in a far better position entering 2010 than it was a year ago; the trajectory of the recovery is still unclear. In 2010 the Semiconductor industry will be back on track with revenue and shipments substantially greater than 2009. The mobile internet market will drive Semiconductors for the next decade with an incredible integration of electronic devices targeting the 6,792,600,000 consumers.

The impact of the global "Great Recession" was less severe in India. The country experienced a relatively muted and short-lived downturn. The year 2010 has brought in a lot of confidence to the Semiconductor industry and to the global economy as a whole. There are huge growth opportunities for the electronic industry in India, but there have been some missed opportunities in the past decade. So, while the future holds a lot of promise, we need to address existing challenges in infrastructure, taxation, supply chain and logistics, labour laws, R&D and funding

SPEL performance during the year

Your Company continues to be First & only Semiconductor IC Assembly & Test production facility. It is continuously maintaining this position despite the market fluctuations and other external factors. SPEL continues to be a trusted & strategic contract manufacturing partner for many of the worlds leading Semiconductor companies.

The Management with its strong commitment and extensive support from its Employees, Suppliers & Customers, has continued to maintain its position as Profit Making Company, despite the Global Slowdown and Economic Crisis.

Current years performance was largely affected by foreign exchange fluctuation loss, lower pricing due to global recession. Management as an austerity measure introduced various cost saving measures including, Lean manufacturing, investments in Energy saving Equipments. SPEL appreciates its Employees commitment and complements them by assisting their growth to become future leaders. In spite of all the recessionary trends Stakeholders may appreciate the fact that SPEL stood up to the times and posted marginal increase in PAT.
