Future Outlook :

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on Monday, March 31, 2014, inter-alia decided to de-merge the Metal Division of the Company into a separate entity in order to invite industry specific investment as well as unlock shareholder value.

The metal division of the company has two on-going projects:

(1) 36,000 MTPA Aluminum Alloy Plant.

(2) 18,000 MTPA EOU project for production of Non-Ferrous alloys.

The Proposal outlined to the board was that the second phase expansion would require an investment to the tune of Rs. 400 Cr. in fixed assets and working capital which may not be possible for the company to generate from its existing shareholder base and internal accruals. The Proposal suggested that the Company may seek FDI for the project. Initial discussions with a few players indicate that the investment may come in only if the metal division is a separate entity. To achieve this, the metal division would have to be demerged from the plastic division through Court to retain the licenses obtained till date intact. The demerger would have the added advantage of unlocking shareholder value of the existing stakeholders as well as allow the metal division to grow faster.

The Board was also presented with a proposal to merge the plastics business of UIC Corporation Pvt. Ltd. (hereinafter referred as ''UIC''), an Associate Company, with itself. UIC is engaged in similar business of reprocessing/recycling plastic materials and has achieved sales of Rs. 415 Cr. in the current financial year. The merger will provide the Company with operational synergy as well as a reduction in operational cost apart from adding to the revenue and profitability of the Company.

The Board was of the opinion that in order to enhance the Company''s focus towards its core business of plastics recycling and increase its market share, the Company should proceed with the merger as this would be in line with the overall vision of the company to achieve greater value for all its stake holders.

Dividend :

Due to drastic reduction in the profitability of the Company, your Directors have decided not to recommend any dividend for the financial year ended 31st March, 2014.
