REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

The sales turnover for the current year is Rs. 159.31 Crores against Rs. 236.71 Crores in the previous year. The total gross profit for the year ended 31st March, 2010 comes to Rs. 1063.20 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 942.13 lacs). After providing Rs. 114.70 lacs (Previous year Rs. 110.48 lacs) for depreciation and Rs. 136.31 lacs as provision for taxation ( Previous Year Rs. 230.00 lacs), there remains a surplus of Rs. 812.19 lacs (Previous year Rs. 601.65 lacs). There has been decline in the turnover of the company under review in comparison to last year. Main reason being competition in the market for the segment of transformers that we presently produce. After modernization of existing facility and up-gradation of transformer capacity to higher voltage transformers, we hope to be in a better position to fight competition and also increase the turnover. The result of this would only be reflected once we start executing the orders of higher capacity transformers after modernization and up-gradation of existing plant.

RIGHTS ISSUE

The Company has received good response to its Rights Issue in the ratio 1:1 share at an issue price of Rs. 100/- per share and is in the process of finalizing the allotment. This would increase the companys paid up capital to Rs. 8,77,63,100/- from the existing Rs. 4,38,81,550/-. The funds received from the Rights Issue will be used for modernization and up-gradation of the existing facility of transformer manufacturing division and also to meet other general corporate purposes.

DIVIDEND

We recommend payment of Dividend for the year 2009-2010 @ Rs. 0.25 per share (2.5%) on enhanced Share Capital after rights issue i.e. on 8776310 Equity Shares for the year, which will be paid after obtaining your approval in the Annual General Meeting.
