Market & Business Outlook:
The world-wide melt down in finance and the recessionary conditions prevailing in USA & Europe will affect the prospects for the Company in the short and medium term. It is our perception that the slow down in business will be experienced by all Indian and International Companies and your company will not be an exception.
There is a good amount of drop in cost of inputs and this would be a relief for the margins.
Status of the Company's Subsidiary & Export Market:
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, sales have increased by 39% and also the Profit Before Tax has increased much higher. Depreciation in Rupee will also definitely help us.
However, the recessionary conditions in USA and Europe will affect the EOU Subsidiary.
We shall do our best to overcome the difficulties caused by the adverse market conditions and keep you posted.

If we compare September Qtr 2008 and that of 2009 then we find
EPS is grown by 37.21%
Sales Growth 38.87%
On a very conservative side I expect that the EPS of FY 2009-2010 will be around =4.89+7.00 (expectation with conservation) =11.89.
The present stock price is 115. This engineering company is cheap to me. I think in 2005, 2006 and 2007 this stock performed very well in terms of price.
