FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK:

 

As can be seen from the financial performance reported above, the scenario for alternative fuel industry has continued to worsen. The company’s turnover has declined by 47%. However, with greater emphasis on purchase cost and several cost control measures initiated by the company has resulted in a decline in loss by about 40% (as compared to previous year) in spite of decline in Turnover.

 

As reported in last year’s Directors Report, the company conducted the test marketing of 2 wheelers LPG kit in several states where the Auto LPG is available. However, the response so far has been very slow, and not as per

the expectations of the company.

 

With auto LPG conversion market not showing any signs of pick up, the company continues to emphasise on building up the network for approval and distribution of CNG kits which has a good potential in current scenario.

 

The company has already applied for Euro IV approvals (mandatory from 1/04/2010) for CNG kits and they expect increase in business on receipt of the same.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

The companies merger with its subsidiary company Ace Gas Conversions Private Limited has already been approved by High Court – Mumbai vide order dated 18th March,2010.
