 Outlook for the current year.
 
 Your company will establish infrastructure facilities for separate
 super speciality for Cornea and Retina at Peelamedu Main Hospital,
 Coimbatore.
 
 Your company is on the look for better infrastructure facilities either
 own or rented at Salem the existing facility at Peramanur East, Salem
 does not have lift facility and the space is not adequate.
 
 Your Company is on the look off to find a better building at Tirupur so
 that the present building can be shifted to the new facilities.
 
 Corporate Social Responsibilities:
 
 In its role as a socially responsible corporate citizen, your Company
 reaches out to the needy sections of the society in many ways. In line
 with this policy, your Company has been continuously organizing many
 free eye camps along with trust to provide free eye treatment to people
 below the poverty line.
 
 Opportunities and Threats:
 
 Through there is a stiff competition in eye care, our company is
 reasonably doing well. It is because of the established name for
 quality eye care and increase in demand for eye care in the public.
 
 Our company is situated at South India and faces competition from other
 hospitals in the home town. We have introduced new departments in
 Ophthamology and additional facilities for patients in Coimbatore and
 other centers.
 
 The remaining objects are being pursued.
 
 Unutilized IPO funds are held as investment in deposit account of Rs.
 88.52 lacs, Current account of Rs. 2.91 lacs. An amount of 5J. 646.92
 lacs has been used to reduce the term liability from ICICI Bank and
 Indian Overseas bank to reduce interest cost as an interim measure
 pending deployment towards Objects of the issue.
 
 Competition:
 
 The competition from the un-organized sector would be met by delivering
 quality eye care on par with international standards which the
 un-organized sector lacks in view of constraints in investment to
 create a quality eye hospital.
 
 Because of increased opportunities, many private players are entering
 into this sector. Your Company can counter this challenge by providing
 focused eye care delivery and by deploying the state of the art
 equipments backed by panel of expert Doctors.
 
 Shortage of Skilled Manpower:
 
 Increasing demand for health care services combined with the aggressive
 expansion by the Indian private health care players is expected to
 significantly increase the demand for medical professionals. Similarly

 talented and skilled manpower in terms of Doctors, Nurses and
 para-medical staff. We continue to attract talented and skilled medical
 professionals.
