DIVIDEND:
In view of marginal profits generated by the Company your Board does
not recommend any dividend for the year ended March 31, 2011.
OPERATIONS:
As per the accounts, the total income for the year ended March 31, 2011
is Rs. 1217.64 Lacs as against Rs. 1512.69 Lacs for the year ended
March 31, 2010 registering decrease of about 19.51%. The cash profit
was much higher than last year and it is mainly due to improved
off-take of biometric products as the economy started showing signs of
improvement during the year.
Biometrics Products & Solutions Provider:
Your company continues to concentrate on the Biometric product segment
and the Tutis brand has been recognized as a Biometric Solutions
Company especially in Time Attendance and Access Management segments.
Currently your company concentrates on Finger Print Biometric products.
Your company has really done well in TA and Access Management products
and solutions in India and abroad. It has acquired more than 1000
clients in the Indian and International market in almost all business
Fingerprint Biometric products. Tutis Time Attendance solutions have
penetrated the Indian market right from small enterprise to very large
organizations with multiple offices across India.
Tutis has added 15 more Time Attendance, Access Control products in its
offering. Your company has conducted several pilot projects in
Biometric Time attendance system in several e-governance projects.
This year Tutis has added Enterprise Time Attendance software in its
offering and has acquired many large size clients across the country. A
number of International Schools, Multiplexes are using Tutis Attendance
Solutions. Tutis has successfully executed orders of Biometric
Attendance Solutions for educational institutes across India.
In respect of other Finger Print biometric solutions, Tutis is very
active in many e-governance projects.
This year Tutis has successfully integrated its biometric product in
one of the largest e- government project named as RSBY Tutis has
deployed its biometric product for RSBY in more than 25 districts
across India.
Tutis has increased its presence in Financial Inclusion projects like
conducting pilot projects with various Nationalized Banks especially in
ATM, financial inclusion and registration process.
This year Tutis has started offering Annual Maintenance Services to its
large client base for Biometric Product, Time Attendance and Access
Control System.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
Indian domestic market is likely to experience a steady growth rate,
with national ID projects, e-Passports and other security projects
spearheading market growth. So also increased use of biometrics in
other applications like RSBY, NREGA, Insurance, crime identification,
prevention of fraudulent transactions especially in e-commerce and
other application especially Time Attendance in the government and semi
government organisations.
Trends indicate that the industry has evolved a great deal over the
past 5 years due to the increased accuracy rates and performance levels
of the technology. Biometric standards, cost versus performance
benchmarks, and interoperability issues have enabled high uptake in
civil and commercial applications even as fraudulent activities and
identity thefts continue to cost institutions significant revenue
losses.
As per Frost & Sullivan report "With the proliferation of crime due to
the economic meltdown, the need for optimized security was apparent
across government organizations, financial institutions, retail, and
healthcare industries," "Initiatives by biometric vendors and
continuous investments in R&D to offer highly accurate and affordable
products will considerably enhance prospects for biometrics in the
coming years."
Tutis endeavors to deliver highly accurate and cost-effective solutions
to generate healthy profit margins. Innovative solutions with high
performance levels and value-added customer service hold the key for
company winning contracts.
Tutis will shortly come with additional capital raising to strengthen
the company's foray into biometric and other security products market.
All these efforts would create a niche market segment for the company.
