 THE PERFORMANCE
 
 Your Company has changed its Financial Year as April to March,
 effective 1st April 2011 instead of July to June as practiced for
 earlier years. The main purpose of shifting of financial year from
 April to March is to have a uniform financial year along with other
 Group Companies of Your Company. Consequent on the change in accounting
 year from June to March, the financial performance of the Company for a
 period of 9 months from 1st July 2010 to 31st March 201 lis highlighted
 above and hence it is suggested not to compare the previous year''s
 figures. During the year under review the Company has achieved a profit
 before tax of Rs1008 lacs and a profit after tax of Rs.516 lacs.
 Considering the proposed expansion plans of Your Company which requires
 resources, Your Directors consider it prudent not to recommend dividend
 for the year under review.
 
 FUTURE PLANS AND PROSPECTS
 
 Your Company is planning to concentrate on consolidation of operations
 during 2011-12. In that direction Your Company is planning to add new
 capacity of 28 MWduring 2011-12in Kamatakaand in Tamil Nadu. Your
 Company is already implementing the shifting of the sale of powerfrom
 Government utility to commercial customers, to enhance the price
 realization per unit. In that direction, Your Company has restructured
 the asset holdings and has already formed a subsidiary Company called
 Indowind Power Private Ltd. Already power sale to new corporate
 clients have started. Nearly about 20 million units have been added and
 another 5 million units may likely to be added in the current year.
 
 The industry is expecting new policy initiatives viz., introduction of
 Renewable Energy Certificates, trading of the same through power
 exchanges during the year 2011-12. As viability of the IPPs were
 strained due to the increase in interest cost it is becoming important
 to set up new projects by availing higher realization benefits. Your
 Company is planning to add capacities in future in order to enhance the
 profits.
 
 RISKS AND CONCERNS
 
 Payment delays from State Electricity Board are continuing to be a
 risky proposition for renewable energy projects. Availability of long
 term projects from the financial institution at an acceptable interest
 rate is equally a risky factorfor the Company. As the economy is
 tightening and the growth rate slowing down, credit disbursal is also
 increasingly squeezed out by the banks The availability of good sites
 for wind projects which can generate higher PLF has become a
 constraint, this coupled with the high capital cost of Equipment &
 higher interest cost prevailing in the Banking Industry, tends to make
 the projects financially unviable on standalone basis unless per unit
 realization is increased. Strategic funding on SPVare being worked out
 to fund the projects.
 
 Grid connection and availability are posing a major risk factor for
 implementing new Projects. Long distance evacuations from the existing
 wind sites are still not been fully established and stabilized by the
 Government in Tamil Nadu and Kamataka. The delay in execution of the
 projects causes a major concern for the new projects.
 
 OPPORTUNITY AND THREAT
 
 Power Exchange India Ltd/ Mumbai (PXIL) and (Indian Energy Exchange Ltd
 / New Delhi (IEXL) are proposed to be explored for selling the power
 through these exchanges. For new projects which are having inter-state
 connectivity, major disagreements among developed countries over the
 reduction in carbon emission, introduction of carbon tax and supporting
 the Kyoto protocol beyond 2012 is a threat for making the project
 viable, using carbon revenue as an additional factor. Introduction of
 RECs and proposed trading by REC (Renewable Energy Corporation) during
 the year 2011 augers well for a new income stream. Increasing
 Government support for solar even though well received, for solar
 projects isactuallyoffsettingtheGovemmentsupportforwindprojects
 
 STATUS OF FCCB
 
 You are aware that Your Company has made a Foreign Currency Convertible
 Bond (FCCB) in December 2007 and raised 30 Mn USD. The FCCBs are due
 for redemption in December 2012. Due to fall in share price of the
 Company and to avoid the significant debt burden which would arise in
 the event that all or a significant amount of the FCCBs have to be
 redeemed on the due date, which may place considerable strain on the
 Company''s financial position, the Company has proposed FCCB
 restructuring by changing them to zero coupon and reducing the
 conversion price to reflect current market realities. The share holders
 have approved the restructuring of FCCBs in their Extraordinary General
 Meeting held on 12th Aug, 2009. However the Bond holders wanted to have
 a review on this structuring model and therefore the Company has made
 an additional offer by providing three different options as to
 redemption and with different price and period and the decision of the
 bond holders are expected in this regard.
