a. Industry Scenario/India key market trends
Economic activity in Asia picked up speed, as exports to advanced
economies accelerated. Domestic demand has been consistent, and retail
sales across much of Asia have been brisk. Exports, particularly to the
United States, Middle East and the euro area, have gained momentum.
India is an emerging economy with sizeable untapped potential for rigid
industrial packaging, especially in its main industrial centre's near
the coast. Industrial packaging in India is expected to grow with 10%
p. a. and will remain largely dominated by metal and plastic drums.
India's industrial maturity is still relatively low and low-value; low-
quality packaging will increasingly be replaced by rigid industrial
packaging products. Thus, industrial packaging demand growth exceeds
GDP and underlying industry forecasts. The need for roll able package
products such as drums is partly influenced by the country's lack of a
sufficient infrastructure network and easy ways for transportation.
As explained, the Indian packing industry as a whole, on positive,
progressive sea change and is expected to tremendous with the
encouraging support of the Government.
b. Opportunities and Threats:
Your Company operates in such an area where a large market exists and
offers ample opportunities for growth. Your Company's products are
well-received in the market. However, the Company faces tremendous
competitions in the market.
c. Outlook:
Your Directors are well aware of the competition by manufacturers and
prevailing scenario and have created a strategy to overcome this
difficulties.
In view of inflationary trend and keen competitions prevailing in the
market, your Directors feel the performance of the Company has been
reasonably good. Your Directors are also aware of the fact that Indian
Packing industry is highly potential to growth but competitive and
fragmented.
The management is conscious about the changing scenario in industry and
review take place regularly.
d. Risks and concerns:
i. Macro-economic risks: Risks emanating from changes in the global
markets such as the recent financial meltdown, regulatory or political
changes, and alterations in the competitive landscape could affect the
Company's operations and outlook. Any adverse movements in economic
cycles in the Company's target markets could have a negative impact on
the Company's performance. This risk is mitigated to some extent due
to the Company's presence in multiple, diverse markets.
ii. Risk related of Raw Materials: Risks associated with key
procurement relationships include:
a. the availability of raw materials;
b. the price of raw materials may be subject to material changes in
worldwide pricing levels;

prices may increase; and
d. key supplier relationships may be lost or impaired, contracts
renewed on less favorable terms or key suppliers may cease or reduce
their operations.
The Company plans well in advance to procure the raw materials. The
Company purchase raw materials from the domestic as well as
internationally reputed supplier located in different parts of words to
mitigate risk relating to availability of raw materials.
e. Internal Control System and their Adequacy:
Company's systems for internal control and risk management go beyond
what is mandatorily required to cover best practice reporting matrices
and to identify opportunities and risks with regard to its business
operations. The Company has mechanisms in place to establish and
maintain adequate internal controls over all operational and financial
functions. The Company intends to undertake further measures as
necessary in line with its intent to adhere to procedures, guidelines,
and regulations as applicable in a transparent manner. The Company
maintains adequate internal control systems that provide, among other
things, reasonable assurance of recording the transactions of its
operations in all material respects and of providing protection against
significant misuse or loss of Company assets. The Company's internal
control systems are supplemented by an internal audit program and
