revenue from the manufacturing operations, and the expenses incurred on
settlement of the workmen's and other statutory dues. With regard to
the Debt Assignment, the Board of Directors after due consideration and
based on the commercial viability, decided to assign the debt.
Subsequent to the disposal of the assets at its plant, the Company
continues its trading activities, and is also exploring other business
avenues, in terms of the Memorandum of Association of the Company.
