BUSINESS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS & GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES:
Perhaps the Shareholders have widely observed global economic impact
and rising of the Euro debt crisis leading to recessionary trends in
the Corporate Sector. Given the circumstances, your Company was still
able to overcome some of these hurdles and has achieved better
performance. Your Company continued to focus on the hardware business
and this segment turned out to be a major revenue earner this year too.
Your Company has registered and taken possession of 12 acres of
industrial land near Bangalore, allotted by the Government of
Karnataka.
Meanwhile, an important development which gives this project tremendous
fillip is that the E-Waste Disposal Rule has been passed by the
Ministry of Environment and Forests making it mandatory from May 1,
2012, for all to dispose of their E-Waste through authorised E-waste
recycler only.
The team from E-Waste Recycling Division is being expanded. Necessary
licenses were obtained from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board
(KSPCB), Bangalore wherein Cerebra has become one of the few
Enterprises to have this approval in the organized sector. Collections
of E-Waste from various Generators including from cities like Delhi are
being made for processing. The availability of the Shredder imported
from Singapore has been effectively communicated to the potential
customers. Aggressive marketing efforts are being infused to grow this
business.
Your Company has enhanced its head count in all its verticals. The
Directors report that the Company continues to be debt free.

iOS applications i.e.. Apple OS based applications for their equipment
which enhances the value of the product.

term partnership with Cerebra for product development and services
