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 Online Technologies Private Limited which owns and operates www.LatestOne.com and Palred Technology Services Private Limited, a Software Solutions Company focused on e-commerce solutions. In the first full year of Operations, Palred Online Technologies Private Limited (LatestOne.com), earned a Gross Revenue of 60 Cr and Net Revenue of almost 40 Cr. LatestOne.com launched in October 2014 is India’s only e-tailer specialized in tech and mobile accessories such as Bluetooth devices, mobile covers, tablet accessories, cables, power banks, Android TVs, headsets, smart watches, CCTV’s etc. It stocks over 10,000 different products in its inventory and operates through its own fulfillment centers in Delhi and Mumbai. It attracts more than 1,00,000 visitors per day and has already served more than 1.2 million unique customers. Our focus is now on making LatestOne.com successful. We have invested only INR 30 crores in the venture so far. In comparison to most of the other vertical focused etailers in India we have achieved 5X – 10X output, for every Rupee invested. Due to several bad investments in the Industry, efficient companies such as ours are getting stereotyped. We are struggling to position the company correctly in such a difficult environment and maximum value for our shareholders. We will continue the challenging task of increasing the financial efficiency while increasing the revenue. 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.
