INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

The Chemical industry as such is not looking good. The scope for development has come down drastically. The Company has sold off all fixed assets during the year. However, it does not affect its status as a going concern as the Company continues to look for various other opportunities.

SEGMENT-WISE OR PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE:

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

The Company is considering a change in the existing management to aid in exploring the opportunities. Continuous losses have substantially wiped off the value represented by the Capital, reserves and surplus and accordingly the financial statements do not reflect the correct picture of the health of the Company. For ensuring that the financial statements of the Company reflect the real picture and the Capital, reserves and surpluses which are lost are not continued to be shown on the face of balance sheet, it was necessary to undertake a financial restructuring by way of reduction of capital of the Company. The reduction of capital will enable the Company to have a rational capital structure which is commensurate with its remaining business and assets. The financial restructuring will help the Company to reflect better its operational efficiency, improvements in the future years and reflect the true shareholder value. Further, there would be a positive impact on the various key financial ratios such as Net Profit Margin, Return on Capital Employed, and Return on Net worth etc.
