We have seen a good growth in the first 2 quarters compared Y-O-Y but for Q3's performance Y—O-Y, there was a weaker demand than anticipated from few end user industries also leading to the build—up of inventory in some products leading to a decline in the qliarterly performance but on an overall 9 month basis, we have exceeded our performance Y-O-Y and are hopeful of a better Q4 closure.

Many significant developments in the Specialty Chemicals category are shaping up in a positive direction and would be able to comment more in the year end Annual Report. We had a successful run at the recently concluded India Rubber Expo exhibiting our latest additions to the Rubber portfolio and a technical showcase of paint related products at the Indian Small Scale Paint Association.
