 2.  Dividend

 3.  Performance ISO Certifiaction
 
 The Bureau Veritas has issued the Company the ISO 9001 -2000
 certification. This certification would enable the Company to supply
 value added products to customers in such industries as auto
 components, automobiles, white goods and Defence.
 
 Implementation of BIFR order
 
 The company has complied with the BIFR Order as contained in the
 approved Rehabilitation Scheme and is implementing the same.
 
 Markets
 
 The first year after the BIFR Order has been rather eventfal. For the
 first six months the raw material prices were stable and we had managed
 to reach the production of 500 MT per month. Thereafter the prices for
 our raw material viz. Hot Rolled Coils (HRC) kept on increasing every
 month. This has created tremendous pressure on the company in terms of
 working capital and also achieving higher and higher sales prices.
 Despite these and other problems the contribution has increased though
 the production has come down.
 
 The production has come down due to the non availability of raw
 material.
 
 Fund Raising
 
 The company is exploring various avenues of fund raising. As the price
 of HRC is stabilizing at higher level, the Company is exploring
 strategic tie ups for the supply of raw materials and is further
 looking to restructure its business.
 
 Outlook
 
 Though the outlook looks uncertain due to the increase in prices of
 steel, power and transportation, we are confident that due to the long
 standing relations with customers and quality of products of the
 company we would be in a position to ride through the uncertain times.
