CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Dear Shareholder,
Your company's audited results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were
adopted by the board today. This quarter has shown an improved performance
as compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Principally the effort
has been on improved product mix and operational efficiencies.
The comparison of the quarter with corresponding period of the previous
year is:
Unit Quarter ending

Net Sales Revenue
1. Domestic Rs.Cr 2.93 2.29
2. Exports Rs.Cr 4.57 3.52

PBIDT as % of Net Sales % 27.7 20.97

The main highlights of the quarterly performance are:
Increase in Net Sales to Rs.7.50 crores from Rs.5.81 crores. This indicates
a jump of 29% from the corresponding quarter last year. Marked improvement
in Sales Realization this quarter due to better prices & product mix.
Operational efficiency improvements. Zinc Oxide & Diesel has continued its
upwardjourney during this quarter.
A capacity expansion of approximately 150 tons per annum is in the process
of being implemented. It is expected to be in commercial production by
October 2006. This expansion is directed towards the development and
production of higher realization materials and products for the premium
segment of the market. The estimated project cost for the same is Rs. 3.7
crore, which is being met by a long-term loan of Rs. 2.83 crore, and the
balance through internal accruals.
I look forward with optimism for substantially better results in the
current year.
With best wishes
Ashok Jaipuria
