PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

The year 2008-09 saw a growth of 33% in value over 2007-08. However mainly due to introduction of new products at a competitive rate against customers, own manufactured products, the margin on the new products are much lower. The major losses were on account of a Forex coverage (almost 5% of turnover), b) forex on dues to penn color which has gone up substantially due to INR depreciation (0.5% of turnover), c) higher inventory cost for import from penn color INC and d) operational cost mainly for energy.
