PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

The year under review continued to be tough and challenging. The turnover of the Company slumped from Rs.5804 million to Rs. 3049 million.

The outstanding overdue payments and receivables in all segments of activities of the company has led to severe liquidity crunch. As a result, company is not in a position to honour its commitment to lenders / creditors.

The Company is making all out efforts to realize overdue accounts and retention monies. Further, discussion with prospective investor is under progress and if successful, significant funds would be infused into the company to revive the operations and restart the fabrication unit. The Management is confident of continuing business atleast at the same level as in previous year. Taking into account, the achievable business plan and anticipated inflow of funds, the financial accounts have been presented on principles applicable to going concern.
