Acquistions

The Company is already engaged in discussion with identified acquisition targets.

Liquidity available to the company will be majorly used for these identified acquisitions. There are certain jurisdictions where a serious discussion with the acquisition target cannot be made unless the company has available funds. In such a scenario, the interest carry therefore becomes a necessary element of the acquisition. The company has continued with its cautionary approach of judiciously working on the acquisition. The company is in a position to act in a very short time and conclude the acquisition the moment the opportunity is appropriate. We expect to conclude on the transaction within the quarter ending June 2011.
