7.
Non-acceptance of new product, PVC Wood Composite, by Indian Consumers would impact the business operations of the Company
Management Perception: Though historically Indian Consumer has a preference for wood products as compared to its substitute product, management believe that PVC wood products would provide the better properties and look alike wood product to the customers. The growing prices of wood products and expected environmental friendly policies in future would lead to encouragement of PVC wood composite products over wood products. As a result of which the acceptance of PVC Wood Composite Profiles / Sheets will evolve slowly in India.

The Company planned to use updated technology for its products and also try to have a cordial relationship with their employees.
9.
The company face competition for its products from overseas manufacturers, importers and new entrant. Besides, the company may also face competition from products made of improved or advanced materials.
Management Perception: The cost of PVC-wood composite manufactured indigenously would be less than the imported comparable product. Management believe that having a brand in the market will help the company in gaining a market share in PVC Wood composite products in India.

B. EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
1.
Exchange Rate Fluctuations may have impact on the performance of the Company.
The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Uncertainties in the global financial market may have an adverse impact on the exchange rate between Rupee vis--vis other currencies. The exchange rate between the Rupee and other currencies is variable and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Such fluctuations can have a serious impact on the cost of the Company.
2.
Political situation and changes in the Government of India may affect the performance of the Company.
The Government of India has pursued the economic liberalization policies including relaxing restrictions on the private sector over the past several years. The present Government has also announced polices and taken initiatives that support continued economic liberalization. There is no assurance that the liberalization policies of the government will continue in the future. Protests against privatization could slow down the pace of liberalization and deregulation. A significant change in Indias economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt the business and economic conditions in India.
3.
Natural disasters could disrupt our operations and result in loss of revenues and increased costs.
The business of the Company is exposed to man-made and natural disasters such as, explosions, earthquakes, storms and floods as well as to terrorist attacks or other enemy actions. The occurrence of a man-made or natural disaster, terrorist attack, enemy action or other accidents could disrupt the operations of the business of the Company and result in loss of revenues and increased costs.
4.
The acts of violence and terrorist attacks or war involving India could adversely affect the Companys business.
There have been instances of terrorist attacks in many parts of the world and also in India in the recent past. Any recurrence of such events or other acts of violence/war may negatively affect the Indian capital market and may also adversely affect performance of our scrip in the stock exchanges. These acts may also result in a loss of business confidence. Any recurrence of events of terrorist attacks or other acts of violence may adversely impact the desire of corporate executives to travel to India for business purposes and thereby adversely impacting business prospects. These uncertainties make it difficult for us and our customers to accurately plan future business activities.
5.
Taxes and other levies imposed by the Government of India or other State Governments, as well as other financial policies and regulations, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Taxes and other levies imposed by the Central or State Governments in India that affect our industry include customs duties, excise duties, sales tax, income tax and other taxes, duties or surcharges introduced on a permanent or temporary basis from time to time. Currently we benefit from certain tax benefits that results in a decrease in the effective tax rate compared to the tax rates that we estimate would have applied if these incentives had not been available. There can be no assurance that these tax incentives will continue in the future. The non-availability of these tax incentives could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
6.
After this Issue, the price of the Equity Shares may be highly volatile or there may be no active market for the Equity Shares which may be due to various reasons including the following:
Volatility in the Indian and Global securities market; The results of operations and performance; Perceptions about our future performance or the performance of Indian Plywood Industry. Performance of the Indian Economy. ix

SECTION III
INTRODUCTION Summary The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and the financial statements of the Company that appear in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise stated, all financial and other data regarding our business and operations presented in this Prospectus are presented on a consolidated basis. Industry Overview Overview of Indian Sector The Plastic Sector is a growing industry in India. The demand for most plastic products in India has increased at double-digit growth rate during the last decade. The consumption of plastic products in India tends to increase significantly in the years when there is significant increase in polymer availability. Notably, beyond 1999, when there was abundant availability of raw polymer resin domestically, the plastic industry year-on-year growth rate correlated well with the corresponding GDP growth rate. Overall, the key demand determinants for plastics in a country are per capita income, availability of plastics, cultural factors, and the level of environmental concerns. Consumption of plastics in India is modest compared to developed countries. Although per capita consumption of plastics in India has risen from 0.96 kg in 1995-96 to about 4.1 kg in 2004-05, it is still way below the world average of 20 kg. One of the reasons for this is that an overwhelming share of the consumption (over 80%) is accounted for by commodity plastics which are mainly used in the making of low-value household articles, pipes, moulded extruded sheets etc. The per capita plastics consumption, which is currently at 4.1 kg, is projected to go up to 8 kg by the year 2007. On the basis of the large Indian population and growth rate of Indian GDP, by the year 2010 India is projected to become the worlds third largest consumer of plastics after US and China from its current eighth position.
To be one of the major players in PVC Wood composite products by : (i) (ii) Introducing high value added products such as PVC - Wood composite profile / sheets. Market potential for export of PVC Wood Composite products to be explored.

A H E A LT H Y C H O I C E
In order to manufacture PVC Wood composite profiles, wood dust, PVC resin, additives like foaming agent, stabilizer and lubricants are mixed to prepare wood PVC compound and the dry blend is stored in a silo. The dry blend and master batch granules (of required colour) are fed to the extruder where foaming of the extradite takes place before its exit from the die as foam sheets/profile is formed. The profile is extruded to dough like consistency and the profile is then extruded through a single step die with no additional calibration and only simple water bath for cooling. The scrap material obtained from manufacturing is collected, granulated and recycled. Raw Materials Requirements for High Value Added Products The major raw material required for the preparation of Plastic Wood composite profiles / sheets are: PVC resin (Poly Vinyl Chloride); and Other Chemical additives Fine wood dust As the manufacturing facilities of the Company are centrally located at Daman, all the main raw material is easily available locally. The main suppliers of PVC resin such as Reliance, IPCL, Finolex, National Organic Chemicals Ltd have their sales depots / dealers in Daman and the Company can buy its raw material requirement from any of the above suppliers. The requirement of other raw materials like calcium carbonate, stabilizers, expanding agent, UV stabilizers, fillers & dyes would be met from domestic sources as well as from overseas market. Wood dust is locally available in abundance. Wood dust is easily available in the un-organized sector and can also be imported if required. The sources of wood particles can broadly classified as: Primary wood wastes: these are post-industrial wood wastes from sawmills Secondary wood wastes: these are post-industrial wood wastes generated when wooden products, such as furniture, cabinets and doors are made Post-consumer wood wastes: this can include anything from construction and demolition debris to packaging, crates and pallets.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
STRUCTURE OF THE INDUSTRY On the basis of value added, the plastic products sector contributes to around 0.5% of GDP of the country. The plastic products sector also provides for 1% of the countrys export. An estimated 0.4 million people are employed in the sector. There is a presence of the small scale companies in the industry which account for more than 50% of the industry turnover. The Indian plastic processing Industry is highly fragmented and comprises 25000 firms with more than 400000 employees. Barring 1015% of the firms, which can be classified as medium-scale operations, all the other units operate on a small scale basis. The top 100 players accounts for just 20% of the industry turnover. The total number of players in the sector is more than 25000. However, the degree of fragmentation, worldwide, is large and despite the small size of operations they are able to operate profitably, further the high growth in demand ensures that the market is able to absorb the excess capacity in quick times.

Further the high growth in demand ensures that the market is able to absorb the excess capacity in quick times. Overall, the degree of competition can be considered high in the Indian Plastic processing industry. The sector has a significant presence of the unorganised sector, which accounts for more than 70% of the industry turnover. More than 95% of the firms in the industry are either partnership, proprietorship or private limited companies. But they will not affect the business of company due to following reasons: Share in Total Consumption in India 75.6% 18.0% 5.10% 1.30% 4,070

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS The critical success factors for the firms operating in the Indian plastic processing industry are provided as follows: Product Mix: The plastic products are used in various applications/industrieswhich include household, agriculture, industrial packaging, fertiliser packaging, food grain packaging, Thus, the production needs to according to a suitable product mix so as to maximise the realisations. Strong Brand Image: Many of the Plastic Products are household products like furniture, buckets, lunch boxes, bottles etc. By building strong brand image, a company can increase the premium for its products and increase the sales level. Low Polymer Purchase Costs: Plastic Processing firms purchase polymer resins and convert them into useful products. The cost of polymer is nearly 60% of the realisation of the plastic product. High Machine Productivity: The major capital cost of a plastic processing company is the moulding machinewhether extrusion moulding or blow moulding. The ability of the company to produce maximum number of products possible from the machine in a given time is a critical parameter affecting the returns from the companys investment. Large Capacity: The financial performance of an organised sector player improves significantly when its size grows. This is expected as more than 85% of the conversion cost (difference between the finished good sales and the raw material costs) is of the fixed nature. However, as the size increases, the asset turnover falls resulting in a trade off between the two.

REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN INDIA
Over the past five years, the Indian Government has removed many of the barriers hindering the sectors growth. But to fulfil the potential of the countrys plastic-export industry, the Industry has been making representations to the government to make way for further liberalisation so as to enable the players in the Industry to improvise on the lack of scale and poor operational and organisational performance of local manufacturers and also invite investment, particularly foreign direct investment. Liberalization of FDI Policy: Government has allowed foreign equity participation up to 100%, through automatic route, in the plastic sector with the only exception being that if the proposal involves import of items , which are either hazardous, banned or detrimental to environment (e.g. import of plastic scrap or recycled plastics), for which the Foreign Investment Promotion Board permission may be required. Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme: The scheme facilitates import of capital goods at 5% concessional rate of duty with appropriate export obligation. Duty Exemption Pass Book (DEPB) Scheme: DEPB credit rates have been prescribed for plastic and plastic products. Duty Drawback Scheme: The exporters are allowed refund of the excise and import duty suffered on raw materials under the scheme so as to make the products more competitive in the international market.
