 Review of Operations
 
 During the year under review, your Company has achieved a gross
 turnover of Rs. 7295.39 Lakhs as compared to Rs. 7035.09 Lakhs during
 the previous financial year. Inspite of slight increase in the
 turnover, the Net Profit has come down to Rs. 323.47 lakhs from Rs.
 673.23 lakhs.  This was mainly due to the reduction in selling prices
 of the products, increased competition and higher interest costs.
 
 To achieve forward integration and to reduce the dependency on outside
 suppliers for End Fittings, which is crucial for manufacture of
 Insulators, the Company has set up a foundry in its manufacturing unit
 no. 2 at Plot No. 8, IDA, Gaddapotharam Village, Jinnaram Mandal, Medak
 District. The Management is working to bring this foundry into
 operation by April, 2012.  When the foundry becomes fully operational,
 the company would be having all the facilities (end to end) under one
 roof and any excess production from this foundry could also be sold,
 which will give a contribution to the bottom line.
 
 Surge Arrestors
 
 As informed to the Members in the previous annual report, the Company
 sold a small quantity of this product during the year under review.
 The Company is expecting to increase the volume of this product during
 the years to come.
 
 Solid Core Insulators
 
 Substation Equipments like Solid Core and Hollow Core insulators are
 presently being manufactured by the other players in the market with
 Porcelain material which has certain disadvantages like causing heavy
 losses to the transmission sector, low level of resistance to bad
 weather conditions, frequent maintenance, etc.
 
 With a view to expand the operations in this area and to offer high
 quality product, the Management is proposing to manufacture Solid Core
 Insulators. The company has already completed feasibility study and the
 in-house R&D is working on this Project with an aim to commence the
 commercial production of Solid core Insulators during the current
 financial year.  Keeping in view the existing market for this product
 and the advantages that the product is having, the Management is
 confident that once the commercial production commences, it will
 further improve the financial performance of the Company in the years
 to come. After successful commencement of commercial production of this
 product, the Company is planning to go for the production of hollow
 core insulators, which may take one more year.
 
 High Voltage Insulators
 
 Your Management is happy to inform that with the objective to
 manufacture high voltage insulators (which are more profitable), the
 Company had entered into a Technical Collaboration Agreement with a
 reputed foreign company (Technology Provider). This collaboration
 consists of transfer of technological details for the manufacture of
 Silicon Rubber Polymer Insulators from and above 400KV to 1100 KV of AC
 and DC of all combinations of mechanical-strengths as may be required
 by your Company. The Technology Provider will offer activation or
 installation support, including assisting with the implementation of
 any Licensor software, diagrams or technological upgradation, wherever
 applicable. Once the remaining formalities are over, your Management is
 of the opinion that the Company would be in a position to commence
 commercial production of high voltage insulators and thereby increase
 the profitability of the company.
 
 Dividend
 
 Keeping in view the funds requirement for reduction of interest costs,
 expansion and diversifications plans of the Company, your Directors
 have recommended a dividend of Rs. 0.20 (i.e. 5%) per equity share of
 Rs. 4/- each for the year ended 31st March 2011. The payment of
