 3,35,000/- have been renewed or repaid up to the date of this Report.
 
 The Company has complied with the requirements of the Companies
 (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975.
 
 6.  OPERATIONS
 
 During the year under review the traditional business of lamination
 films in Export market was adversely affected, because one of the
 customers has back-integrated into film manufacture based on the large
 quantity of film required. Sales of films for other application have
 grown marginally.
 
 Volatility in input cost, inflationary trend in commodity market,
 higher borrowing cost and fluctuations in Exchange rate has adversely
 affected the business growth and profit margins.
 
 The company continues to make investments in equipments and ancillaries
 to provide customers with improved film performance and quality
 consistent with their requirements.
 
 7.  PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR:
 
 The company expects current year to be full of challenges.  The
 abnormal increase in input cost, stagnancy in demand coupled with high
 inflation rate and increased borrowing cost will put pressure on volume
 growth as well as profit margins. Medium and small enterprises will
 look for consolidation
 
 The uncertainty continues in behaviour of oil prices which will affect
 the prices and availability of critical raw material.  Abnormal
 fluctuations in Exchange Rate will also have adverse impact on cost of
 raw material
 
 The company expects a marginal growth in volumes.  However
 profitability will be determined by focussing efforts on promoting
 films for speciality applications.
 
 The traditional business of multilayer film for production of laminates
 for consumer packaging has become very competitive but the volume of
 business in this sector has some relevance in providing improved plant
 productivity.
 
 The company''s strength has been in ability to understand the ultimate
 customer''s end use performance characteristics of the film and to
 develop its properties that meet with specific performance
 requirements. It is this strength that has allowed the company to
 venture in to some niche market applications hitherto serviced by
 imports. These are mostly industrial applications, pharmaceutical
 packaging and highly specialised laminate applications where the
 margins on sales are consistent with company''s growth objectives and
 its reputation as a supplier providing value to customer.
 
 8.  SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
 
 During the year under review the company has acquired additional 5,
 96,680 equity shares in Synergy Films Private Limited for a total
 consideration of Rs.97, 50,000. With this, company now holds 8, 96,020
 Equity shares of Synergy Films Private Limited which is 74.96% of its
 Equity Capital. Synergy films Private Limited thus has become
 subsidiary of the company.
 
 Pursuant to provisions of Section 212(8) of the Companies Act,
 1956(Act), the Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide its General Circular
 No 2/2011 dated February 8, 2011 has granted general exemption subject
