The Companys manufacturing operations have been closed since June 26, 2008.

b. Opportunities and Threats

The Company continues to pursue various business re-engineering proposals, including the recommencement / relocation of its manufacturing operations.

c. Risks and Concerns

The high debt portfolio, in the absence of any revenue stream, is currently a major cause for concern

d. Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy

Subsequent to the closure of the manufacturing operations from June 26, 2008, there is nothing significant to report.

Consequent upon the closure of the manufacturing operations, there is no activity on this front.

h. Cautionary Statement

This Report deals with the Companys objective, estimates, expectations and forecasting which may be forward looking within the meaning of applicable Security Laws and/or Regulations. The aforesaid statements are based on certain premises and expectations of future events as such the actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. Government Regulation, Tax structure, demand-supply conditions, cost of raw materials & their availability, finished goods prices and economic development within India and the countries with which the Company has business relationship will have an important bearing on the statements in the above report.

The foregoing discussions and analysis only sets out the managements perception of the Companys operational environment in the coming months, which by its very nature is uncertain and may undergo substantial changes in view of the events taking place later.

Subject to this management cautionary statement this discussion and analysis should be perused.
