PERFORMANCE

The company''s gross revenue from operations stands at Rs. 2043.39 lakhs, during the previous year performance of the company was sluggish owing to increase in fixed cost incurred due to power shortage and dearth in labor. As progress is impossible without change, the Board of Directors resolved to consolidate the company''s operations to one unit as a measure to curb the significant fixed cost which stood as the major cause of concern for under performance by the company. Despite the fact that the operations have been consolidated Stanpacks has given positive breakthrough by achieving 93% of the revenue generated during the previous year.

The overall losses of the company was due to re-organisation and disposal of unused machinery. The Company has recorded a net loss of Rs.257.77 lacs for the year and has incurred losses in the previous year also, resulting in erosion more than of 50% of Net worth.. The Management is confident that the Company will be able to generate profits in future years and meet its financial obligation as they arise. The Company has restructured the entire operations by discontinuing business areas with very low operating margins, reducing the number of locations to reduce the fixed overhead.

The Company is working in economizing the purchase cost of raw materials to sustain price realization so that there is no loss of margin on account of price fluctuations. The promoters have induced liquidity of rs.168.66 Lacs in the last 2-3 years and will infuse support further. Long term liquidity support will flow in to the company by sale of lands belonging to the company at Nellore which is not being used currently. This would clear all long term loans to the bank which will reduce the interest burden considerably. These initiatives will ensure that 2013-14 will result in consolidation for generating profits in the coming years.

DIVIDEND:

The Directors have not recommended any dividend during the year under review, as the company did not have profits to distribute.

OPERATIONS:

The company made a turnover of 2694.47 Lakhs as against the turnover of 2887.84 lakhs during the previous year. This has resulted in the loss of Rs 64 lakhs. The cost of operation increased due to increase in cost of power on account of power shutdowns and also increase in labour cost. The shifting of the Marasur factory to Chennai has resulted in the loss of production.

The Marasur unit deals with production of agronit bags. The demand for which has greatly reduced. The scope for expansion at Marasur is not inconsonant with the current market situations in Tamil Nadu. Without expansion the cost of running is too high to continue the production there. Considering all these the Board had approved the shifting of the same to Chennai. Thus the plant and machineries in Marasur Unit has been shifted to Chennai Unit.

Regarding Auditors comment in clause xvi of the annexure to the auditors report that "the company has used Rs. 97.98 Lakhs funds on short term basis for long term investment."

The company would like to inform the shareholders that during the year the company had to shift the operation from Marasur (Bangalore) to Chennai for synergy in operation and to consolidate operations. The temporary disruption of production during this period, the cost of relocation initial startup expenses coupled with the additional power requirement cost was the major reason, for this. An amount to the tune of around Rs. 37 Lakhs was invested towards the same.

The benefits of this will accrue to your company during the ensuing financial year. Your company is confident of nullifying this effect during the current fiscal.

It is pertinent here to inform the shareholders that the balance amount was utilised towards Repayment of Term Loan .

DIRECTORS:

Sri. S.Ramakrishnan, Director retires by rotation at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for re-appointment.

Sri B.Surender, Director retires by rotation at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
