Review of Operation

Financial Year 2012-13 was a very challenging for RDBRL. Persistent recession in the global and domestic markets drastically reduced demand of packaging material.

2. Exports decreased from Rs. 89,277,276 to Rs. 27,224,391.

3. Profit before tax decreased from Rs. 23,392,541 to Rs. 11,174,385 primarily due to non-recognition of interest accrued in the Escrow Account, since the matter is sub judice. The recognition of interest has been postponed in accordance with the AS-9 "Revenue Recognition". Hence, the net profit after tax has also decreased from Rs. 15,612,917 to Rs. 7,655,485.

SEBI Matter

During the period when Company IPO was in process, the security market experienced severe price fluctuations, primarily in the scripts of companies which had come out with IPO in the recent past. Concerned by such price fluctuation SEBI initiated investigations and unfortunately your Company also came under the orbit of SEBI's investigation. Towards end of December 2011, SEBI issued an ad interim ex-parte order directing the Company, inter- alia, to retain its IPO proceeds in an Escrow Account with a schedule commercial bank pending conclusion of the investigation.

In deference to SEBI's order the Company deposited the proceeds amounting to Rs.31.60 crore in the Escrow Account

in a scheduled commercial bank but being aggrieved with the SEBI order filed a Writ petition in the High Court of Calcutta challenging the validity of the ad-interim ex-parte order by SEBI. The matter is sub judice now.

The detailed utilisation of IPO proceeds as on 31.03.2012 has been reported under note no. 2.1(h) in Notes to the Accounts.

Postal Ballot

However, subsequently, Management thought it prudent to explore other avenues to achieve the same object. To this end the Company sought members' approval through Postal Ballot to alter, modify, vary the deployment of IPO proceeds by including but not limited to rescheduling the utilisation in the project set out in the prospectus, deploying the proceeds in acquisitions, joint venture participation, expansion of greenfield/brownfield projects, any where in India. The members accorded their approval by overwhelming majority and the results of the postal ballot were declared on 7th April 2012.
