Your Directors regret their inability to recommend any dividend for the financial year ended
March 31, 2025.
Further, during the year under review, the Company was not required to transfer any
unpaid/ unclaimed amount of dividend to Investor Education and Protection Fund.
The details of transfer to reserves are provided in Note 3 of the financial statements for the
year under review.
The financial year under review was marked by significant headwinds for the Company, as
it navigated through a challenging business environment. A notable dip in demandâboth
in international and domestic marketsâhad a visible impact on the Company''s
performance.
Our total revenue for the year stood at ^ 262.26 lakhs, reflecting a decline of approximately
37.61% from ^ 420.29 lakhs recorded in the previous financial year ended March 31, 2024
("Previous year"). This contraction was largely due to reduced export orders, subdued
consumer sentiment, and increasing competition within the industry.
Exports, which have historically been a key revenue driver for us, especially in European
markets such as Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the UK, declined sharply.
Our export income fell to ^ 129.65 lakhs, down 38.20% from the previous year''s ^ 209.84
lakhs. Many of our clients in these regions exercised caution in procurement, contributing
to the fall in overseas orders.
On the domestic front, we faced similar challenges. Revenue from domestic sales slipped
to ^ 123.81 lakhs, showing a 33.15% decline from ^ 185.20 lakhs in the previous year.
Factors such as inflationary pressures, lower discretionary spending, and delayed buying
patterns influenced demand across our product lines.
Our services segment was also affected, with income reducing significantly to ^ 8.80 lakhs,
a 65.14% drop from ^ 25.25 lakhs in the previous year. The slowdown in ancillary service
demand and lower client activity levels contributed to this decline.
While these numbers are reflective of a difficult year, they also serve as a catalyst for
change. In response, the Company has undertaken several steps to adaptâstreamlining
operations, recalibrating product offerings, and controlling costs. We are also focusing on
expanding our domestic presence, entering new product segments, and deepening
engagement with existing customers.
The management remains committed to navigating the evolving landscape with resilience
and agility. Though the year presented unexpected challenges, it also strengthened our
resolve to build a more robust and future-ready organization.
Your Directors wish to state that the Company is constantly looking for new avenues and
concepts to be introduced for the line of products and services provided by the Company.
The Company is continually working on its quality controls in order to better serve its
customers. Additionally, the Company is making efforts to reduce its operational
overheads.
There were no changes in the nature of main businesses of the Company during the year
under review.
