4. Brief description of the Companys working during the year/State of Companys affair

The Company made reference to the Honorable BIFR in August 2003 and had been declared sick under the provisions of SICA, 1985 vide order dated 17th May 2006. The company made efforts and settled the dues of all the Working Capital Banks and IDBI Financial Institution in the year 2007 through One-time-settlement of their dues.

The remaining two secured creditors, Asset Reconstruction Company ARCIL and Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (bought portfolio from the Financial Institution, Exim Bank of India) had initiated recovery action under Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI Act) 2002.

As the Secured Lenders ARCIL And Edelweiss have taken action under section 13(4) of SARFAESI Act 2002, the Honble BIFR, pursuant to an application by the referred Secured Creditors, has ordered on 26.11.2007 to abate the reference filed under SICA Act.

The Company had been issued notice under section 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act for possession of Secured Assets, that include a part of land, building and complete machineries (except the machines charged to IDBI earlier) ,charged to the said Institutions. The Company had been appointed as Custodian of said Secured Assets with effect from July 11, 2007. The Company was allowed to continue the routine business operations on payment of Rs 25000 per month towards royalty charges. In April 2011 the Financial Institutions withdrew the custodianship from the company and took the physical possession of the factory.

ARCIL also filed a company petition under Section 433(1)(e) of the Company s Act 1956 for winding up of the company, before the Honble High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Indore Bench. The Company has filed proper reply opposing the winding-up petition filed by ARCIL. The petition is rejected by the Honble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Indore Bench.

As the Secured Creditors terminated the custodianship of the company and took the physical possession of factory in

April 2011, there were no manufacturing operations carried out in the factory. The Secured Creditors have sealed the production facilities and have deployed their own security personal. Consequently there was no production and sales in the company.

The company also could not perform any trading activity as the Commercial Tax Department has cancelled the registration of the company due to the tax liability being unpaid. The Commercial Tax Department has also raised its claim on the fixed assets of the company to recover their dues. There is a dispute between Secured Creditors and the Commercial Tax Department regarding priority of charge on the fixed assets of the company and the matter is still unresolved.

However the company started some operations in the form of arranging sales to different buyers on commission basis. This commission income helped the company to take care of all the expenses in the year. The management is continuously trying to have a settlement with the said two Secured Creditors so that the company can revive its operations in the future. Once the settlement is done, the company is also hopeful of reinstating of its commercial tax registration and start business operations.

Further as the company does not have any manufacturing activities, and also does not have any sales income, it faced severe hardship in complying with several statutory requirements like appointment of a Whole-time Company Secretary. The Company tried its best but considering the companys financial position, none of the candidates agreed to join the company. The company is still trying to comply with this requirement.

5. Change in the nature of business, if any:
