Services Pvt. Ltd. and their address is detailed in the compliance

FUTURE OUTLOOK
The PCB industry may have seen positive growth in 2012 at $ 60.6
Billion (Source N.T. Information), but various reports suggest there
may have been a drop of over 4% in for 2013. There have been dramatic
changes in technology, for the electronics industries and therefore the
PCB industry necessitating a proliferation of materials to cater to
diverse, high end uses and product profiles especially the use of high
performance laminates. BPA Technology Consulting projects growth at US$
68.5 Billion by 2016, with China still accounting for over 51% of the
world''s total production. However, high technology applications such as
defence, aerospace, proprietary technologies and designs etc. are
increasingly getting localized, with this trend beginning to gather
momentum in the past few years. Also gaining ground a is the concept
now being dubbed as "re-shoring", with companies increasingly moving
production back to their home countries as well.
The Indian PCB market continues to grow at an acceptable pace, with no
new large ticket investments in the electronics industry, or in PCB
manufacturing per se. In fact growth prospects seem to have stagnated
at below 17% CAGR, a total market of approx. US$ 600 Million, as demand
for electronics remains stagnant. Domestic production too has settled
at approx. US$ 200 Million, with the rest being imported, thereby still
presenting an opportunity to existing domestic PCB producers, albeit in
the higher technology space. However, with very little or no
substantial investments forthcoming, this trend of import of PCBs of
all types and materials will continue.
The Company expected to receive permission to exit from the 100% EOU
Scheme for which it had applied well over four years ago and in was
forced to suspended production till receipt of the de-bonding
permission from the Commerce Ministry (NSEZ). Keeping in view
continuing and exceptional delays in the de-bonding process, the
Company''s plans to recommence business have been virtually stalled by
inaction by Governmental authorities. The Company can only hope that it
will be in a position to restart operations this financial year, with a
changed politico-administrative environment which industry in India
sees as a positive indicator, with focus on implementation of stalled
projects.
(b) Conservation of Energy and Technology Absorption:
The Company has been pursuing an active policy of identifying and using
eco-friendly materials and processes in its production processes, as
also in every other sphere of activity. The Company estimated 28%
savings in its power/energy consumption due to this policy emphasis in
its operations while in production. The Company shall continue in its
endeavors to identify new means of for such energy conservation and
savings on an ongoing basis as a matter of policy.
(c) Employees:
As required by the provisions of Section 217(2A) of the Companies Act,
1956, read with Companies (Particulars of Employees) Rules, 1975 (as
amended), the names and other particulars of the employees drawing
remuneration more than Rs. 5,00,000/- per month or Rs. 60,00,000/- per
annum are required to be given forming part of the Directors'' Report.

FIXED DEPOSITS

FUTURE OUTLOOK
The year 2011 has been one of cautious optimism for some and pessimism
for others in the PCB industry. The electronic supply chain growth had
recently stalled in many regions. Europe''s tighter fiscal policies had
squeezed consumer purchasing power and there were ongoing
sovereign-debt tensions. In the U.S., high unemployment and politics as
elections come nearer raises its own issues. China has seen rising
costs, labour shortages and a real-estate bubble looms large. For Japan
the strong Yen and ongoing repercussions from the earthquake and
nuclear disaster has had severe implications.
All told, despite a resilient German market, the recent return to
recessionary scenario clouds the international market in general. While
the industry as a whole is still expected to grow to approx US$ 76
Billion by 2015, the European crisis and shaky and uncertain growth in
the US warrant a relook at such projections. While Asian growth
continues, India and China look increasingly inward due to their strong
and growing domestic markets.
The Indian PCB market is still growing at a healthy pace, with large
investments in the mobile communications, telecom, industrial, consumer
electronics, EMS, and automotive industries already made. The growth is
expected to still touch 30% per annum. The total market is approx. US$
2 Billion. Domestic production is a little over US$ 300 Million, with
the rest being imported, thereby presenting a large opportunity to
domestic PCB producers.
The Company has thus refocused its business towards a much higher
presence in the domestic market, and relegation of exports to the
future when growth resumes to levels sustaining healthy pricing and
returns, the falling Rupee nonwithstanding. The Company expects to be
receive permission to exit from the 100% EOU Scheme for which it had
applied well over a year ago very soon, and has in the interim again
suspended production till receipt of the de-bonding permission from the
Commerce Ministry (NSEZ). In any event, with import duties for most raw
materials and machinery for PCB manufacture being zero, the Company
foresees a better product, market and hence financial positioning as a
major domestic player.

AUDITORS & THEIR REPORT
Auditors of the Company, M/s S.K. Mittal & Co., Chartered Accountants,
are retiring at this Annual General Meeting and are proposed to be
appointed at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
Notes to the accounts annexed to the Auditors' Report are
self-explanatory and need no explanation, as there is no qualifying
remark of the Auditors. FIXED DEPOSITS The Company did not invite /
accept any fixed deposits during the year under review.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Company being a 100% EOU, is impacted by developments in the
international markets, especially net importing nations / continents
which are largely USA / North America, Western Europe, and Scandinavia.
Here it is pertinent to highlight such developments and their impact on
the business potential in terms of exports from India / Asia.
1. Global market scenario in 2010 (source IPC, USA)
- Approximately 2,600 PCB fabricators produced an estimated US $54.77
billion in 2010.
. PCB production grew in all regions in 2010 as the industry
recovered from the recession.
. Production grew by 6.9% in North America, 14.4% in Europe and
21.1% in Asia, increasing Asia's share of world PCB production to 87%.
. Rigid-flex was the highest growth category. Metal-core PCBs, while
less than one percent of world PCB production, was the second fastest
growing category in 2010.
2. While the industry as a whole is expected to grow to approx US$ 76
Billion by 2015, the European crisis and shaky and uncertain growth in
the US warrant a relook at such projections.
3. The positives emanating from such global developments point to
robust Asian growth, with countries such as Indian and China looking
increasingly inward due to a strong and growing domestic market.
4. The Indian PCB market is growing rapidly, with large investments in
the mobile communications, telecom, industrial, consumer electronics,
and automotive industries. Importantly, most of the top ten Electronics
Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies worldwide have set up assembly
and design facilities in the recent past. With the entry of a number of
international companies in these industries, the growth is expected to
exceed 30% per annum.
The total market assessed currently is approx. US$ 2 Billion. Domestic
production is US$ 300 Million, with the rest being imported, thereby
presenting a large opportunity to domestic PCB producers.
In conclusion, while global growth is highly uncertain from here on,
and the likely fall-out in terms of protectionism that is reasonably
certain to kick in soon as the developed world struggles to prevent
slippage into a recessionary phase again, the future growth
opportunities are clearly emerging in the Asian economies including the
BRIC countries. It is time indeed to look at growth in home markets for
the foreseeable medium term.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Company has revived its production and commercial operations,
consequent to successful implementation of the BIFR Sanctioned Scheme,
and to receiving all requisite approvals required from Ministry of
Commerce / NSEZ / Customs / DGFT etc. in December 2008. The Company
commenced sales in the domestic market, which has remained stable
despite the global melt-down world-wide, including the PCB industry,
which impacted China as well very substantially.
A US$ 48 billion industry had been growing at CAGR of over 9 % per
annum from 2004 till mid à 2008 when international markets once again
shrank considerably from US $ 52 Billion in 2007 with the onset of the
recession to $ 39 Billion in 2009. It is now expected to grow as such
up to 2015 to over US$ 76 Billion. While the outlook for the industry
is not very encouraging internationally, for the time being, it is
expected to improve gradually starting 2010, especially from the 2nd
half of the year, and expected to reach $ 52 billion again by 2011-12.
The domestic PCB market : is growing rapidly, with large investments in
the mobile communications, telecom, industrial, consumer electronics,
and automotive industries. Importantly, most of the top ten Electronics
Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies worldwide have set up assembly
and design facilities in the recent past. With the entry of a number of
international companies in these industries, the growth is expected to
exceed 30% per annum.
The total market assessed currently is approx. US$ 2 Billion. Domestic
production is US$ 300 Million, with the rest being imported, thereby
presenting a large opportunity to domestic PCB producers.
The Company thus plans to recommence exports by early to mid - 2011 in
line with world markets revival of global market.
The promoters have invested considerably in reviving the plant and itÃs
operations including refurbishing the machinery, replacing obsolete
equipment, infusing working capital, and adding new customers to itsÃ
existing ones.
The Company has adequate business orders for domestic sales, as also
deemed exports. The Company expects to achieve considerably better
sales and operating results in the FY 2010-11 as it increases domestic
sales and exports commencing 2011.
