LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

YEAR UNDER REVIEW

 

During the year, the Company achieved a net turnover of Rs. 953.600 Millions as compared to Rs. 774.700 Millions in the previous financial year. The Company has earned a profit after taxation of Rs. 30.900 Millions in the financial year as against Rs. 3.100 Millions profits in the previous year. Sales of thin clients have grown from 40,000 units during 2009-10 to 74,000 units during 2010-11, registering a growth of 85 %.

 

The company is confident that the improved export business would ensure a turnaround in the company’s operations.

 

OVERSEAS OPERATIONS

 

The Company continues the tie up with Priya Limited for providing support in Logistics and Distribution of its products in Europe and USA.

 

VXL-UK has been able to extend good support in terms of marketing of the Company’s products in Europe and especially in USA during the year.

 

Subject has been one of the first Indian Companies to venture into the export market and in spite of many obstacles and misconceptions about Indian progress as IT Hardware compared to Indian Software, Subject has established itself worldwide as a player of the long run.

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

A.      GENERAL

 

As has been informed to the shareholders in earlier years the Company keeping in mind its overall competitiveness in international markets has closed the unit at No. 86A and B, 4th Cross, Electronics City, Hosur Road, Bangalore – 560 100. This unit used to manufacture CRT Terminals (GVX) for which there is no demand over many years. The workforce had become surplus. Workmen raised certain objections on the closure of this unit which have been rejected by the Secretary, Department of Labour, Government of Karnataka.

 

B.      EXPORT

 

With the introduction of new products carrying better features and with the strengthening and addition of better and more features in their complementing software products, the company expects a substantial jump in exports in the next financial year.

 

As per Global Industry Analysts Inc’s recent global report on Thin Clients market, the world market for Thin Clients is projected to reach 14.36 million units in sales by the year 2015. Growth will be primarily driven by the ability of thin clients to present exceptional environmental and cost benefits to the user. Desktop virtualization and growing need for anytime, anywhere accessibility to corporate and Internet networks are the other trends that augur well for thin clients market.

 

Growth in the worldwide thin clients market is also fashioned by a range of environmental benefits that thin clients offer, including efficient use of energy and less use of raw materials. Thin clients are also the growing phenomena across the corporate world, as companies increasingly opt for providing their employees, just the basic systems required for processing their assigned tasks. The much awaited revolution in enterprise computing is now close at

hand, thanks to the proliferation of cutting edge technologies, such as, virtualization, which is helping push thin clients into the mainstream enterprise business.

 

VXL Instruments UK (subsidiary of VXL Instruments Limited, India) had announced in 2010 an agreement with Lenovo who develop, manufacture and market high quality, secure and easy to use technology products and services world-wide.( Lenovo group had earlier acquired the IBM Personal Computing Division.)

 

Under the agreement;-

 

– Subject thin clients will be made available through standard Lenovo Channels.

 

– Subject will also be selling Lenovo’s ThinkPad PCs.

 

Through this agreement Subject expects to increase its global and national reach through Lenovo’s widely spread sales channels.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

VXL, UK has managed to earn a profit of USD 30,376 during the year.

 

The wholly owned Indian subsidiary, XL Net Software Systems Limited has been wound up with effect from 8th October 2010. It did not engage in any active business operations in the past few years.
