 OPERATIONS
 
 The Company has recorded a strong growth in sales in the financial year
 2009-10. Overall sales increased by 31% over the previous year,
 although sales of the flooring division declined by 10%.
 
 The pre-tax profit increased by 189%*to Rs.592.81 lakhs, while the
 profit after tax increased by 651% to Rs.  464.28 lakhs. This
 performance should be viewed in the light of the extremely challenging
 business environment which the Company faced in 2008-09 on account of
 the decline in demand for cars resulting from the overall economic
 slowdown witnessed during that year. •
 
 The Company continues to invest in new technology and assets to make
 available adequate manufacturing capacities for the growth that it
 expects in the forthcoming years.
 
 In its relentless pursuit of customer delight through manufacture of
 world class products at competitive prices, the Company has adopted
 Total Productivity Management (TPM) techniques in production. Lean
 manufacturing has been pursued diligently for improving efficiencies,
 productivity & yield. New product development has been a thrust area
 and several greener, recyclable and lighter products that have been
 launched in the past now contribute steadily to the Companys turnover
 and profits. We continue to lay emphasis on safety and health, quality
 systems and cost reductions through VAA/E. Institution of energy audits
 and implementation of the recommendations to optimise energy
 consumption, as well as strict control over overhead costs is also
 given due importance.
 
 FUTURE PROSPECTS
 
 Automotive growth is expected to be robust during 2010-11, and the long
 term outlook continues to be positive because of the low per capita
 ownership of 7 cars per 1000 persons in India. With global car giants
 looking for low cost production countries to contain costs, India is
 becoming a hub for small cars, as well as for outsourcing of auto
 components. Our Company is poised to participate in this growth story
 through its existing wide range of products which it supplies to most
 car manufacturers in India. The Companys order book shows a healthy
 growth with sales having commenced for the recently laupched models of
 Maruti, Honda, Hyundai and Tata Motors. The Company anticipates cost
 pressures, but plans to maintain its margins through improved
 productivity, cost reductions, VA/VE measures and focus on high value
 added products.
 
 JOINT VENTURE WITH JUKEN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, SINGAPORE
 
 Your Company had incorporated a joint venture company namely Juken
 Uniproducts Private Limited under the shareholders agreement entered
 into with Juken Technology Limited, a Singapore based company in the
 year 2005-2006. This Company commenced commercial production on July
 31, 2006. During the financial year ended March 31, 2010, it has
 achieved gross sales of Rs. 533.18 lakhs and profit before tax of Rs.
 97.98 lakhs on the basis of unaudited results. The Companys product
 have been well received by the customers in the Indian and overseas
 markets, and your Directors are confident that this joint venture will
 make good profits in the coming financial year.
 
 DIVIDEND
 
 Your Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of 16% for the year
 ended March 31,- 2010.
 
 CLOSURE OF NASIK UNIT
 
 The Company had set up a small manufacturing unit at Nasik on rented
 premises to cater to the west based OEMs viz. Mahindra & Mahindra and
 Tata Motors. However, despite best efforts and marketing initiatives,
 business from these customers has not grown over the years.
 
 Keeping in view the expenses incurred to maintain this facility and
 the. possibility of economies of scale and resultant savings that can
 accrue by consolidating these operations at its Rewari Plant, the
 Company decided to close down its operations at Nasik and shift all
 equipment to the Plant at Rewari.
 
 DELISTING OF SHARES
 
 On the basis of the Securities Appellate Tribunal order dated August
 20; 2008 allowing the Company to delist its equity shares from the
 Bombay Stock Exchange at the Rights Issue Offer Price of Rs. 40/- per
 equity share in pursuance of Clause 17(1) & 17(2) of the Securities and
 Exchange Board of India (Delisting of Securities) Guidelines, 2003, the
 Company has completed the delisting process and has been delisted from
 the Bombay Stock Exchange with effect from July 1, 2009.
 
 ALTERATION OF MAIN OBJECTS CLAUSE OF MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION

 resilient, your directors had proposed to expand the existing range of
 automobile and traded products, venture into products relating to wood,
 wood pulp or fluff, paper and packaging industry and explore businesses
 propositions in the ores and mining industry. The shareholders in the
