4. REVIEW OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS:

Your Directors wish to present the details of Business operations done during the year under review: During the year 2017-18, the Company's turnover has increased to Rs. 12,255.67 Lakhs as compared to last years' sales of Rs. 10,620.73 Lakhs and profit of the current year also increased to Rs.213.19 Lakhs compared to profit of Rs.162.67 Lakhs for the previous financial year. Your directors are hopeful of getting better results in the current financial year, however depreciation in the rupee as compared to US$ may have some effect on the Company's business.

Your directors believe that rising consumer spending will drive increased demand for organic colorants in textiles and plastics, while strong growth in global construction activity will boost demand in paints and coatings. Increase in value demand will reflect the growing importance of expensive, higher value dyes and pigments that meet increasingly stringent performance standards and preferences for more environmentally friendly products. Despite the healthy growth, even faster advances will be limited by a moderation in global vehicle production and slow growth in printing inks due to the challenges faced by the print media industry.
