Company Performance:
During the year ended 31st March, 2014 the annual income of the Company
was Rs.9.37 crores, as compared to Rs.71.19 crores in the previous
year, representing a decrease of 86.91% which was due to the non
performance of the company fromJuly2013to31stMarch,2014. It resulted in
a loss of Rs.24.66crores,
Status ofthe company:
In the year 2013-14 the company has suffered with severe decrease in
demand in the automotive sector and other market upheavals. Due to
unprecedented slow down in the industry, high cost interest rates have
worsened the over-all cost structure ofthe company there by reducing
its margins, paucity of working capital lead to in-operative condition
which resulted default with the secured lenders and subsequently went
through securitization Act initiated by M/s. Edelweiss Asset
Reconstruction Company (EARC). In nutshell the company has suffered a
great deal due to unavoidable circumstances,the situation has further
worsened due to on-going recession the end of which is still not in
sight. In view of the above problems the projected earnings ofthe
company has become inadequate to service the debt obligation at
existing terms and conditions. Hence, it is the need ofthe company to
re-structure the existing structure of borrowings which is under
progress.
But the company has got an overwhelming support from all customers, the
demand for your company''s products continuous to be encouraging as
vendor codes are still alive and management is putting it''s best of
efforts to revive the company''s out lookfrom the existing conditions.
Outlook:
There is recession in the overall Indian Economy and more so in the
Automobile Sector. Auto majors like M/s.Maruti and M/s. Tata Motors
Ltd.,haveincurred losses due to competition with MNCs like Hyundai
Toyota,Honda VolksWagon and Nissan Etc. The Auto mobile sector under
going a transformation and trying to compete globally by reducing the
overall cost of the production which in turn has impact on our
industry. On the other hand the input cost in the Indian Industry is
gradually increasing due to increase in cost of steel, fuel, transport
and salaries. In the situation the company would take a cautious
approach and concentrate on managing the risk and containing the cost.

With a view to the present economic situation,tight liquidity situation
and Company''s current business plans,the Directors feel it prudent not
to recommend any dividend on Equity Shares
