YEAR UNDER REVIEW
During the current period under review Company''s Modified
Rehabilitation Scheme was cleared by the Hon''ble Board of Industrial
& Financial Reconstruction. Having settled all the Institutional Dues
in the previous year itself we have now embarked on the path of
settling the statutory dues in a phased manner. Simultaneously we are
working full throttle on the refurbishing and repair of the plant and
equipment which have since been installed post relocation. Clearances
from various agencies are being reactivated and the plant should get
energized from the local utility soon. Most of the repair and trial
work is being done through temporary power connection and in-house
captive power.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
Machines and equipments which have been virtually idle for over nine
years take some doing to get them up and going. And this exercise would
eat into the better part of the current year before we could take up
any serious trial runs. Market-wise we do not see any major impediment
in re-establishing ourselves. Our initial feelers in the PCB market and
also to our old customers has met with encouraging results. DIVIDEND
In view of carry forward losses, no dividend payout for the period
under review is being recommended.

received as late as Feb 2012 with a payment schedule stretching upto
October 2012 hence it could only be cleared partially. After receiving
the No Dues Certificates from the Institution we would submit a
modified scheme to the hon'ble BIFR for approval. This should happen

we have commenced the maintenance and refurbishing work on the

the charted course during the year without any major hiccups.

YEAR UNDER REVIEW
This year held out the hope for successful conclusion of the extremely
long drawn out SAC formation by the Government of U.P. thereby removing
the last bottleneck. Little did we realise what was in store for us.
First quarter of the current year saw the resignation of the designated
SAC chairman a major setback. The exercise for substitute nominations
to SAC got further complicated by the decision of the CMs secretariat
to wait for suitable candidates to become available rather than
identifying them from the panel. We again knocked at the doors of the
CM for intervention through a request letter from CII, Northern Region
Chairman in September 2009. Action still pending .
The above non-progress came-up for discussion before the Honble BIFR
bench and our OA conveyed the reasons for tardiness. The Board took a
dim view of the state of affairs and has directed the State Government
Agencies to accelerate matters without delay.
In view of the endless wait and procedural stalemate we have decided to
proactively seek independent settlement with each of the Institutions
separately beginning with those who were in principle agreeable in the
first place. The hitherto pursued option of simultaneous back-to-back
OTS ensured that the Investors exposure was covered by the
simultaneous release of secutity in their favour. In the proposed
alternative we would have to look for ways to overcome the lack of
recourse to the OTS funding entities and the same is being worked out
by us.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
PCB industry worldwide entered a negative cycle post Sub Prime
Recession early 2009 and it is only now that signs of recovery have
started to sprout. India, was never really affected because of its
robust domestic demand and low export dependence. Our post revival
business plan is focused more on quick-turn-around pilot production
niche . The past trend of pre-recession Globalization giving way to
post-recession emphasis on reverse innovation puts
Annual Report 2009-2010
the onus of initiative on countries like India. Hence a good
opportunity for the prepared PCB shops in India.
DIVIDEND
In view of continued losses, no dividend payout for the year under
review is being recommended.
DIRECTORS
Mr. Siddharth Singh and Mr. Pradeep Kumar are persons, who have been
longest in the office since the last appointment of Directors and in

YEAR UNDER REVIEW
The new Chief Secretary advised us to gel a request letter addressd to
the Honble Chief Minister from the Chairman NR of C1I highlighting the
need for expeditious action in activating the SAC in-order to get the
revivable units up and running. This letter of request was received in
CMs office in September 2008 and from October onwards things started
moving. Some delay did ensue because of the posting of new Principal
Secretary Finance also happening at the same time.
A retired Justice of Allahabad High Court has been identified and
nominated as the Chairman of the SAC. Nomination of the second member
is in process. Appointment of the Chairman got finalized by the end of
February 2009. So by all estimates the SAC should be activated by the
second quarter of the coming financial year.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
World PCB Markets continuing buoyancy has been hampered by the Global
Financial meltdown. Consequently die FDIs and MAs in PCB sector have
also received a set back during the current period. Hopefully the end

to normal.

YEAR UNDER REVIEW
Your Directors would like to inform you that, due to the fall out of
UCCs failure to deliver on their promise for fresh fund infusion, the
fall back alternative of M/s. Crescendo Music System Pvt Ltd. was put
up before IDBI and the Honble BIFR was also suitably informed. IDBI
initiated their due diligence exercise of collecting background
information on the company, their financials and directorship etc. A
meeting between the financial advisor of Crescendo and the CGM, IDBI,
Delhi was held in mid May 2004 wherein. Crescendo made their intentions
known. M/s Crescendo, have also proposed to do a One Time Settlement
with State Bank of India, who in the earlier approved Scheme were
continuing with their exposure to your Company. A meeting with the
Financial Advisor of Crescendo and the Officials of the State Bank of
India, at Lucknow is slated for sometime in mid July 2004. After which
a joint meeting with all the participating Institutions would be held
and the final proposal would be put up for consideration of all
concerned and upon concurrence from them, the same would be put up to
the Honble BIFR for their approval. Looking at the present situation
we feel that the NS proposal would come to its final conclusion by the
end of the second quarter of the current fiscal.
Due to fall out of UCC and in turn the delay in implementation of the
NS Proposal, the year under review has received a severe set back.
This delay has further aggravated the working capital paucity, as the
company has not been able to avail any new or additional limits from
their Bankers, State Bank of India, who are also part of the settlement
nor any fresh liquid infusion of funds by UCC. In the absence of fresh
liquid infusion the last fiscal i.e. year ended 31.03.2004, was barely
a holding on operation with two fold objective of:
a. Retaining Key export customers.
b. Retaining production engineers and technicians.
Over sixty percent of operational staff has been laid off and all the
bulk domestic customers from Telecom and Energy Meter Segment have been
dropped. The latter step was unavoidable, as these customers demanded 6
months long credit which is not sustainable in the absence of fresh
infusion.
This holding on operation resulted in lower production and turnover in
the year-ended 31.03.2004. We have done a turnover of Rs. 145.62 lacs,
and the production has been at 1490.257 square meter comprising of
1279.88 square meter of DSPTH PCB and 210.38 square meter of Multi
layer PCB.
Due to uneconomical pricing the company moved out of the existing bulk
market that was the energy meter segment and started foraying into new
areas like automation, controls, etc. This was also one of the reasons
for business contractions.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
The market outlook for the current year is bound to be better than last
year as your company has moved away from volume and low value added
segment to high value added market segment. Thus. your company is
ready to take on the new and more reliable and less volatile market
segment of instrumentation, automation, defence, etc.
Secondly, the companys efforts at increasing export business has also
met with success as your Company has been able to identify some new
customers in Europe, but everything hinges on the early and successful
implementation of the financial package which is under final stages of
implementation with the financial institutions.
DIVIDEND
In view of the continued losses, no dividend payout for the year under
review is being recommended.

YEAR UNDER REVIEW
The Directors will like to inform you that, due to the delay in
implementing the Negotiated Settlement, the year under review has
received a severe set back. Negotiated settlement is delayed on account
of inordinately long time taken in the legal vetting of various
tripartite agreements and approval of the draft mortgage deed. This
delay has further aggravated the working capital pancity, as the
company has not been able to avail any new or additional limits from
their Bankers, State Bank of India, who are also part of the
settlement.
The market in the year under review also remained depressed and in fact
a major segment of yester years namely telecommunications saw PCB
requirement dip to abysmal levels which had a very negative impact on
the market per se, as it became a buyers market and the PCB pricing saw
a further erosion. The regression in demand saw the rise of unhealthy
competition where PCB manufacturers started using credit as a
competitive tool further straining our finances.
Due to uneconomical pricing the company moved out of the existing bulk
market that was the energy meter segment and started foraying into new
areas like automation, controls, etc. This was also one of the reasons
for business contractions.
Your Directors would further like to inform you that the NS proposal
is now in its final stages of negotiation and almost all jagged edges
have been smoothened. It is expected that the same shall be implemented
by the end of the second quarter of the current fiscal year. The
business in the current year will surely look up once the fresh funds
are tied up because in the fiscal year under review the company has
cultivated a new crop of customers.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
The market outlook for the current year is bound to be better than last
year as your company has moved away from volume and low value added
segment to high value added market segment. It has moved with Ministry
of Defence for approval as well has submitted samples for approval of
higher layer count PCBs to various existing and new customers. Thus,
your company is ready to take on the new and more reliable and less
volatile market segment of instrumentation, automation, defence, etc.
Secondly, the companys efforts at increasing export business has
also met with success as your Company has been able to identify some
new customers in Europe, but everything hinges on the early and
successful implementation of me financial package which is under final
stages of implementation with the financial institutions.
DIVIDEND
In view of the continued losses, no dividend payout for the year under
review is being recommended.

YEAR UNDER REVIEW
Your Directors are pleased to inform that your Company achieved a
turnover of Rs.7.24 crores, the highest ever since its inception and
more than twice the total business done in the 111 three years.
However, BIFR scheme envisaged a turnover of Rs. 16.5 crores during
2000-01 and the Companys achievement was only 44% of their benchmark
mainly because a few critical assumption regarding the market did not
hold during this period- this was especially so in regard to the timing
of Telecom Equipment Orders being released by MTNL and BSNL. As a
result of the above shortfall the Companys cash accruals were way
below the projections. Although, we did not have any operating cash
loss and had a positive EBDITA (Earning Before Depreciation, Interest,
Tax and Amortisation) but the volumes were far too low to address the
interest dves of the Institutic Since the Bank kept debiting its
interest dues on WCTL & FITL the Company could not make Lease Rent
payments to
PIC UP for the last two quarters. A revised proposal has been given to
the Operating Agency-IDBI, which includes conversion of the interest
default of post scheme implementation into equity. This proposal is in
abeyance pending finalization of the equity partner.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR:
Domestic Market has picked up and Electronic energy Meter segment is
emerging as the new growth engine. Our projections for Rs. 16 crores
turnover for the current year have factored this upswing. TARGETS FOR
2001-02
Quarter DOMESTIC EXPORTS Total in
Number Rs. Lac
MLB IN M2 PS IN M2 MLB IN M2 PS IN M2
ONE 200 4000 0 800 215
TWO 300 7000 50 1050 400
THREE 750 8500 50 1200 450
FOUR 1500 9500 200 1600 550
The Companys first quarters performance of this year has been 46%
higher than the corresponding period last year. The Companys New CC
Limits are yet to be released by SBI otherwise we would have crossed a
turn over Rs. 3 crores this quarter. This processing delay at the Bank
is caught in the usual web of Transfer/Postings/ Delayed
Responses/Inertia/.. .etc. As things stand today it should get released
by the middle of August thereby hampering the Companys current
quarters growth too. DIVIDEND
In view of the continued losses, no dividend payout for the year under
review is being recommended. DHtECTORS
During the year under review IDBI nominated Mr. R.S. Shukla, their
AGM, as Director on the Board of the Company in terms of their loan

YEAR UNDER REVIEW
Your Companys rehabilitation case came up for hearing on April
1, 1999 and the scheme.was sanctioned by BIFR in its third hearing on
October 5, 1999. Thanks to the initiative taken by the operating agency
and other participating Institutions, we could get a very rapid-passage
through BIFR, just six months - something that does not happen very
often in rehabilitation cases. Subsequent formalities and the mandatory
waiting period took us into the third week of December before the first
installment could be released by IDBI. We commenced trial runs from
January and commercial operation from the middle of February 2000. For
a unit, which had been virtually closed for over a year, we were able
to accelerate startup activities and recommission the plant in record
time. We have been able to win back a good number of our domestic
customers and our order commitment book at the end of the year stood at
over a crore. Orders and orders thick and fast would decide how soon we
could resurrect the unit financially. We have made a fair beginning,
which augurs well for future and there is every reason to believe that
we would turn the corner in the coming year.
OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR:
In order to meet its debt servicingcommitments and be in line with BIFR
Scheme your Company must achieve a turnover of Rs. 16.5 Crores.
Interpolating quarter wise the levels to be achieved are Ql: Rs. 1.5
Crores; Q2 Rs.2.5 Crores; Q3: Rs.6 Crores & Q4: Rs.6.5 Crores. Even at
Rs.6.5 Crores stated for the last quarter, the company would be
utilising only 75% of its installed capacity. The targets are well
within striking range and the focus would be on delivery of PCBs of
consistent quality at short notice and always on time, which would keep
the orders flowing in unhindered.
DIVIDEND
In view of the continued losses, no dividend payout for the year under
review is being recommended.

Mr. Dhruva Choudhary as Directors were withdrawn by PICUP and IL & FS,
