SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
The "Residential Building Project" at Santacruz, Mumbai is in the
final stage of completion and will be completed shortly.
During the year under review, the company recorded turnover of Rs.
1407.73 Lacs and earned profit after tax of Rs. 66.95 Lacs for the
year.
A statement pursuant to Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956 and
Audited accounts and Reports of Board of Directors and Auditors for the
period ended 31-03-2014 relating to the subsidiary company are attached
to the accounts.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As required under clause 32 of the listing agreement, Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2014 along with
report of the auditors thereon are attached herewith.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
The Directors present their report on the specified matters to the
extent relevant or within limits that in their opinion are imposed by
the company''s own competitive position, as under:-
Industry structure and development
No reliable and published data is available specifically on boron
products industry. As boron minerals are not found in India, the basic
inputs have to be essentially imported.
Opportunity, threats, risks and concerns
As, the basic input of the boron mineral is imported, thus timely
availability of basic inputs at competitive prices in desired quality,
composition and quantities has been, continues to be and expected to
remain a matter of concern, risk and threat. The company is
continuously engaged in exploring and developing alternative sources
for imported raw material to minimize the risk.
Segment wise or product-wise performance The company is operating in a
single reportable segment i.e. manufacturing and selling of Chemicals.
Hence, segment- wise break-up is not applicable to operations of the
company on standalone basis. The construction projects being executed
by the subsidiary company has started generating revenue during the
year. Segment wise information is given in the notes to accounts in
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Outlook
The policy of Government of India encouraging import of finished
products at the cost of domestic industries is a real threat, thus the
margins may come down resulting in unpredictable operations. Otherwise,
the domestic market is expanding every year and the Company can sell
more quantity, as its products are well known for its quality.
Internal control system & their adequacy
The Company has proper and adequate systems of internal controls to
provide reasonable assurance that all assets are safeguarded;
transactions are authorized and recorded correctly to ensure compliance
with policies and statutes. Internal control systems have been found
to be adequate and commensurate with the size and nature of the
business of the company and are reviewed from time to time for further
improvement.
Discussion on financial performance with respect to operational
performance
The sales in current year stood at Rs. 7,018.14 Lacs compared to Rs.
7,411.83 Lacs in previous year. Production of boron products decreased
by 0.37 % as compare to 16.93% increase in previous year.
Human Resources Development & Management
There are no material developments to be reported in the matter of
human resources and industrial relations which were cordial throughout
the year.

report of the auditors thereon are attached herewith.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
The Directors present their report on the specified matters to the
extent relevant or within limits that in their opinion are imposed by
the companys own competitive position, as under: -
Industry structure and development:
No reliable and published data is available specifically on boron
products industry. As boron minerals are not found in India, the basic
inputs have to be essentially imported.
Opportunity, threats, risks and concerns
As, the basic input of the boron product is to be imported, so timely
availability of basic inputs at competitive prices in desired quality,
composition and quantities has been, continues to be and expected to
remain a matter of concern, risk and threat as well as opportunity
Segment wise or product-wise performance
The company is operating in a single reportable segment i.e.
manufacturing and selling of Chemicals. Hence segment-wise break-up is
not discussed.
Outlook
The policy of Government of India encouraging import of finished
products at the cost of domestic industries is a real threat and the
margins may come down resulting in unpredictable operations. Otherwise,
the domestic market is expanding every year and the Company can sell
more quantity, as its products are well known for its quality.
Internal control system & their adequacy
The Company has proper and adequate systems of internal controls to
provide reasonable assurance that all assets are safeguarded;
transactions are authorized and recorded correctly to ensure compliance
with policies and statutes.
Internal control systems have been found to be adequate and
commensurate with the size and nature of the business of the company
and are reviewed from time to time for further improvement.
Discussion on financial performance with respect to operational
performance
The sales in current year stood at Rs. 3831.35 Lacs compared to Rs.
4508.86 lacs in previous year. Production of boron products was 6123 MT
compared to 6432 MT in previous year.
Human Resources Development Et Management
There are no material developments to be reported in the matter of
human resources and industrial relations which were cordial throughout
