Company''s Affairs’

In comparison to previous financial year, during financial year 2018, the performance of the Company was fairly muted due to several factors such as: global trade disputes, raising crude oil prices, rupee depreciation and rising geopolitical tensions.

These issues have been amplifying since the start of calendar year 2018 and has affected your Company’s profitability during Quarter 4 of financial year 2018 which led to the downfall in the overall profit for the year.
