Palred Technologies Limited – Annual Report for the year 2018-19 Dear Shareholders, I take pleasure in presenting the Twentieth Annual Report of your Company. I use this opportunity to present the financial performance of the Company in the year and what we see for the future. After the sale of business in October 2013, the Company has invested into Palred Electronics Private Limited (PEP) which owns PTron, a Mobile Accessories brand, Palred Retail Private Limited which operates www.LatestOne.com, a mobile accessories focused ecom site and Palred Technology Services Private Limited (PTS), a Company focused on end to end solutions for e-commerce companies. The Company’s main focus this year has been building PTron brand. PTron brand offers a bouquet of mobile accessories products to meet the needs of its consumers. PTron sells products like bluetooth headsets, portable bluetooth speakers, wired headsets, chargers and cables, smart watches, networking products and many more. The strength of PTron is that it has a wide range of products whose quality is backed by warranty, but offers them at competitive prices in the branded accessories category for the mid-market. The Company sells PTron brand through large ecommerce marketplaces like Amazon & Flipkart, through LatestOne. com & PTron.in and also through Physical Distribution / Retail Channels across the Country. LatestOne.com faced many challenges during the year because of high advertisement costs and competition from heavily funded market place business. As a result we had to downsize our in house IT Company and fulfilment services businesses, to focus on building the brand of PTron. As always we will update the stake holders, investors, employees, customers, vendors and also keep them posted about the developments from time to time. Your Company has always been actively contributing to social causes as a part of its Corporate Social Responsibility. On behalf of Management and staff, I would like to thank every shareholder of Palred Technologies Limited, for your continued commitment, support and confidence. We look forward to your continued support and encouragement in future as well. Thank you Palem Srikanth Reddy Chairman & Managing Director Page | 2 M/s.
