1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANYS WORKING DURING THE YEAR

Everything is in limbo on account of the continuing IBC proceedings under CIRP and our appeal disputing the Corporate Guarantee in the NCLAT. As a holding on measure the plant is being run on rental under leave and license arrangement with Green Line Electronics. The rental, though abysmally inadequate, does partly meet the skeletal overhead of Security, Company Secretary, the sole staff, RTA and other Regulatory Overheads. It does fall short of meeting the hefty BSE ALF which is liquidated over a prolonged period of 6 to 8 months in instalments. Fettered by the IBC provisions our accomplishments fall far short of our intent. But like everything even this should pass.
