The Directors wish to inform that profit before tax is placed at Rs. 54.200 millions as against Rs. 87.600 millions in the previous year.  The current year net profit cannot be compared with the last year due to the reasons mentioned above.  The directors are actively taking the steps to increase volume thereby profits of the company.  Having regard to the circumstances the directors are of the opinion that current year results are satisfactory.

 

The directors would like to state that due to the globalization, the IT hardware industry is facing fearceful competition coupled with increase in the cost and inability to increase the price has put tremendous pressure on margins.  The directors would like to state that in spite of the above factors company has done well due to over all cost control and operational efficiency.

During the current year the directors expect that performance of company will show reasonable growth in volume and correspondingly profits from the business.

 

EXPANSION :

 

With a view to reap the benefit and seize the opportunities of globalization, the directors have thought to expand the product base either by manufacturing or taking trading agencies of the well known multinational companies.  They have taken distributorship of renowned multinational companies for marketing their Laser Printers, Thermal Printers and Scanners.

 

The Board has thought that it is advisable to set up a unit at Badi a backward industrial zone in Himachal Pradesh to manufacture new range of products.  The unit will be eligible for Excise, Sales Tax and Income Tax benefit.  The industrial shed has been taken on rent and orders for equipment and machinery have been placed and received.  The production at Badi has started effective from 26.05.2005.
