During the year under review, the account of the Company is continue
under Stress Asset Management (SAM) with State Bank of India and

the same at the earliest. The defaults were due to reasons beyond to
the control of the management.
The question of rectification of the receivables regarding excise duty
and interest amount there upon does not arise since the entries are
correct and payments are yet to be received.
The amortization of brand would be appropriately considered in the best
interest of the company.
Merely because of individual break up of retention money and earnest

DIVIDEND :
During the year the Company has incurred loss and, therefore your
Directors are unable to declare any dividend for the year under review.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS :
The Company during the year under review was in the process of
consolidation after having completed the massive expansion in previous
years. However, the projected targets could not be achieved for the
reasons :
1. The targets were for a period 12 months, whereas the accounts
prepared are for 9 months consequent to the change in the accounting
year.
2. During the period under review there were fluctuations in the
exchange rates and due to the strengthening of the Rupee Exports became
a losing preposition . Due to this your Company had no other option but
to practically stop the Exports. The Company has now decided to
concentrate on the Domestic Markets and necessary steps are being taken
in this direction.
3. Due to incessant Rains during the period of July-September, 20O6
there was flooding in the plate making Department at U-116 M1DC &
Entire Mondha Unit II . This flooding damaged the machines & Stocks.
Insurance claims for the damages has been submitted to the insurance
company. It took quite a long time to set right the damaged machines
which ultimately resulted in reduction in Turnover
Industry Structure & Development :
The Company is in the field of manufacturing of Paper Based Printed
Packaging Material including Labels. Duplex Board. Mono Cartons
Corrugated Boxes etc -and stationary items. Daring the year under
review the Company further consolidated its operations after completion
of its expansion project. As on date the Company is having three
manufacturing units.
1) At U-116, M.I. D.C. Industrial Area Hingna (Printing Unit)
2) At Khasara No. 49. Mondha (Stationary Unit)
3) At Plot No 49, Khasara No 69, Mondha (Packaging Unit)
As the Company is classified as printing industry & as such reporting
of segment wise performances is not applicable to the company.
PROSPECTS:
With the imposing of Ban on use of Plastic as Packaging material world
wide due to environmental reasons, the paper based packaging industry
has a bright future. Your company is talcing necessary steps in this
direction and is in negotiation with some big buyers for supply of
packaging material.
For stationery Division, the Company shall be concentrating on the
Local Markets and the end users. The company has taken its first step
in this direction by opening a stationery Super Stores in the Heart of
the City.
As far as the Printing division are concerned, we are concentrating on
our existing customers and trying to increase our share. With this we
are hopeful of increasing the turnover of the company to optimum level.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW & OUTLOOK :
PRINTING OPERATION :
With the imposing of Ban on the use of Plastic Material for packaging,
the Printing industry has a good future. Your Company has decided to
concentrate on the existing customers and also to identify new
customers who can generate sizeable printing orders to the Company
STATIONARY DIVISION :
Due to Downward Trend in Exchange rate of US Dollar there was reduction
in exports. The Company has therefore, decided to concentrate on Local
Market to set off the reduction in Sales due to Low Exports. The
Company has opened a mega Stationery Stores in the heart of City so as
to reach the consumers. The Store is getting encouraging response.
PAKAGING OPERATION :
Due to price cutting by the competitors we were unable to achieve the
expected results. In order to overcome this problem the company has
identified new Parties to whom the supplies have already started and
are hopeful of achieving substantial growth in the sales of this
division in the current year.
CORPORATE AFFAIRS :
Finance :
The Bankers State Bank of India, Hingna Industrial Estate, have on 17dl
March, 20O7 implemented the restructuring proposal sanctioned in
November, 2006. Due to implementation of this restructuring proposal
the repayment installments of the Term Loan have been substantially
reduced which would ultimately help the Company to improve its cash
flow position in the year to come.
During the year under review the relations with the Bankers have been
very cordial and the Board of Directors would like to place on record
their Special Thanks to the Bank for the co-operation extended to the
Company during the year.
Trading & BSE Matters :
During the year, the Company has been submitted timely information and
compliances to Bombay Stock Exchange and other Stock Exchanges. The
Company is continuously making representation to the Bombay Slock
Exchange for revocation of trading of Companys scrip and is hopeful to
get it at the earliest in the interest of shareholders and liquidity of
their investment.
Voluntary Delisting of Ordinary (Equity) Shares :
The Companys Equity Shares are one of the scrips which the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has specified for .Settlement only
in the dematerialised form by all Investors since 2nd January. 2002.
With extensive networking of Bombay Stock Exchange Limited, Mumbai
(BSE) arid extension of BSE terminals to other cities as well,
investors have access to online dealings in the Companys Securities
across the country, even if these are not listed on local stock
exchanges.
Since the past 3-4 years, there has been nil or negligible trading in
equity shares of the Company on the Exchanges at Ahmedabad, Delhi and
Madras from where Delisting is proposed as no particular benefit is
derived by investors of the Company by continuing listing on these
Exchanges.
The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange of Ahmedabad, Delhi and
Madras for delisting of its securities which has been approved by the
Shareholders at 13th Annual General Meeting. But due to non-revocation
of trading of scrip at BSE (Online Terminal), the application could not
be proceeded with. As one of the condition for delisting was to
revocation of trading for exit opportunity to the shareholders of the
regions covered under the Stock Exchange of Ahmedabad, Delhi and
Madras.
The proposed voluntary Delisting will not adversely affect the
investors as the Companys equity shares would continue to be listed
and traded on BSE. In view of the same, the members of the Company at
13th Annual General Meeting has already approved the Proposal of
Voluntary Delisting from Delhi, Madras & Ahmedabad Stock Exchange There
would be no change in the capital structure and shareholding pattern of
the company on account of the proposed voluntary delisting. The

PERFORMANCE REVIEW & OUTLOOK :
PRINTING OPERATION
During Last two years printing & packaging industry under recession.
But since last few months some changes in industrial policy & foreign
affairs by Government of India, the future and prospects of Printing &
Packaging Industry are looking better. Similarly, the Government of
India banned plastic products and consequently, it has benefit to the
printing packaging products. The printing division has good prospects
looking toward overall scenario of printing industries all over India.
The Board of Directors looking towards the WTO era expecting good
future for Printing and Paper based materials.
STATIONARY DIVISION :
Having regards to the Psycho fear of Chinese products in Indian Market,
the Stationary products had same fear since last 2 years and because of
that the prices of Stationary Products not rised but Cost of Paper and
other raw material was rising which affect companys turnover and
profit. Looking towards Government Education Policy , the future of
Stationary products hold good. Now the company is stabilising its
Stationary Operation after Chinese fear to Stationary Products and
Company expecting to be in Profit in coming years.
PAKAGING OPERATION:
Looking towards the packaging division of Shakti, the Board of
Directors like to deliver that due to massive price cutting by
competitors in packaging products, packaging division could not
generate estimated turnover. However, your company is expecting the
growth of 25% from packaging division.
CORPORATE AFFAIRS :
Finance:
Despite the general rise in interest rates, the interest cost continued
to be low due to a judicious mix of rupee/foreign currency borrowing
by Our Bankers. We are greatful to our Bankers to extend their
co-operation in respect of Borrowing by Company and conversion of Term
loan and part of Working Capital into FCNR Loan. In order to protect
the Company from financial risks, an exhaustive study was conducted to
identify the impact of financial risks on the companys cash flow.
Trading & Bse Matters :
Due to non-submission of timely information to the Bombay Stock
Exchange, the trading of Scrip of the Company has been suspended by the
BSE on 21.12.2004. With respect to Compliances of BSE, it is in process
of revocation of Suspension and Secretarial Department continuously in
touch with the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited, Mumbai. Further, the
compliances in respect of EDIFAR ie. Electronic Data Information Filing
& Retrieval System have been complied with and the documents i.e.
Quarterly Results, Shareholding Pattern, Annual Reports, Balance Sheet,
Profit & Loss Account (yearly). Corporate Governance Report, etc are
viewable on the SEBI Website viz. www.sebiedifar.nic.in.
Board of Directors of the Company expects revocation of trading within
short span of time and they are regretting the inconvenience caused to
the investor & general public.
Voluntary Delisting of Ordinary (Equity) Shares :
The Companys Equity Shares are one of the scrips which the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has specified for Settlement only in
the dematerialised form by all Investors since 2nd January, 2002. With
extensive networking of Bombay Stock Exchange Limited, Mumbai (BSE) and
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd, Mumbai (NSE) and extension of
BSE/NSE terminals to other cities as well, investors have access to
online dealings in the Companys Securities across the country, even if
these are not listed on local stock exchanges. Since the past 3-4
years, there has been nil or negligible trading in equity shares of the
Company on the Exchanges at Ahmedabad, Delhi and Madras from where
Delisting is proposed and no particular benefit is derived by investors
of the Company by continuing listing on these Exchanges. The Companys
equity shares are actively traded on the BSE.
The proposed voluntary Delisting will not adversely affect the
investors as the Companys equity shares would continue to be listed
and traded on BSE. Therefore, the Board of Directors proposed in their
meeting held on 28th November, 2005 to delist the Companys Scrip from
Delhi, Madras & Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and proposed an special
resolution at ensuing AGM for members approval. There would be no
change in the capital structure and shareholding pattern of the company
on account of the proposed voluntary delisting.
