PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
Performance of your Company did not meet the expectations due to
various factors that include recurring and persisting problems of power
shortage, general economic slow down and other contributory factors
like unanticipated reduction in other income and these had severely
impacted its operations to a great extent. Adverse market environment
is considered greatly responsible for lower turnover achieved by the
Company as compared to the expectations and it dented its bottom line,
which too remained much below the projected forecast.
Due to consistent pressure on operations, continuous stress on
liquidity due to prevailing adverse market environment the overall
impact on Company's liquidity position has remained under stress.
The industry is witnessing all around growth in the global scenario,
which is coupled with rise in demand in the housing and infrastructure.
Changing life styles and people's acumen to opt for sophisticated
standards are the key factors in its growth pattern too. These factors
will help the Company to achieve its projected growth out lined for the
future.

Due to consistent pressure on operations, stress on liquidity due
prevailing economic environment, your company decided to conserve its
financial resources for operations and accordingly requested its
lenders for realignment of present debt commitments in line with cash
flows. Lenders have already approved the proposal for debt recast, and
this would certainly strengthen the liquidity position and improve the
