CHAIRMANS SPEECH

Dear Shareholders,

I write to you with a sense of pride as I present to you the annual accounts

of your Company for the year ended March 31, 2007. The fiscal year 2006-

2007 has been exciting and challenging year for the Company. We have has

crossed Rs. 150 crores milestones and achieved a turnover of Rs. 154.58

crores, with 106% growth over previous year, which is a break through

performance in the history of the Company.

Today, I am proud to say that over the last twelve years, we have built a

robust business model in the domain of electronic security with a huge

business potential backed by the large distribution network of Zicom

Security Partners (ZSPs) across the country.

Our vision To be the Company you trust the most to protect what you

value the mostis consistently driving us to build trust of the customers by

offering the most innovative and cost effective solutions backed by

excellent service.

The Indian economy is moving at a good speed. The three engines of

growth namely infrastructure, consumption and outsourcing are firing at a

rapid speed of above 9% p.a. The requirement of investment in

infrastructure alone is close to USD 50 billion per year for next five years.

With these exponentially rising trajectories in most sectors, the Indian

economy is expected to double itself in close to nine years. This huge

investment in infrastructure is certainly going to accelerate the growth of

security industry in India, which is presently estimated to be around Rs. 800

crores. The Government, individuals and particularly commercial and

institutional organizations are now increasingly focusing on their security

arrangements in a more proactive rather than reactive manner.

During the year the Consumer Service Group launched its products for the

home and retail segment. This is just the beginning of new era in security

industry where your company has taken an initiative in offering security

solutions for millions of homes and retail shops across the country by

creating a new business model in retailing of security products in India.

More than 18 shops were opened on a company owned and dealer

operated (CODO) basis. I am happy to share the fact, that the response of

the consumers is encouraging enough to plan for more than 300 outlets in


12/133

11

the current financial year. To increase its pace in this direction, the

company has tied up with the Future Group and other big retailers to set up

Zicom Shops in large retail formats on Shop-in-Shop basis. Our flagship

business of providing security solutions to the government, commercials

and industrial establishments continues to perform well, as can be seen by

the growth in the top line of your company.

I would also like to share with you the two most important

accomplishments of Zicom. The first being the acquisition of 49% stake in

Unisafe Fire Protection Specialists L.L.C, Dubai in UAE. With this acquisition

we are aiming to participate in the infrastructure growth in the Middle East

market. The second one being setting up a subsidiary in Hong Kong for

taking up manufacturing activities in China and to promote international

sale of Zicom branded products. This is a beginning of our vision to make

Zicom a Global Company.

On the financial front, we are planning huge investments in direct

marketing to take our security distribution network to over 100 cities in the

country. We have obtained your consent for USD 35 million FCCB issue for

funding our plans for both organic and inorganic growth. The best


13/133

12

performer never stays still. For us, survival and growth depends upon

efficiency, agility, ability to grasp new opportunities and implementing

them effectively.

On behalf of Board of Directors of Zicom Electronic Security Systems

Limited, I specially take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to

you, our shareholders, for the loyalty and the confidence you have reposed

in us year after year.

Feel Safe,

Manohar Bidaye

Mumbai - 3April, 2008 - Zicom Electronic Security Systems

Ltd., Indias largest electronic security systems company has

today announced its Joint Venture agreement with CNA

Group, Singapore, to offer integrated intelligent building

management solutions and green buildings in India.

This move is in line with its business objective of

accelerating growth to ramp up its strategic focus on

developing expertise on Integrated Building Management

solutions and Green buildings with control and automation.

As per the Memorandum of Understanding, Zicom will


105/133

104

acquire 51% stake and CNA Group will have 49% stake in

the Joint Venture Company named as Zicom CNA

utomation Ltd.

The intended relationship with CNA aims to leverage on the

enormous growth potential of the booming real estate

market in India by providing integrated facilities

management solutions and services to residential,

industrial commercial and Government construction.

According to Mr. Manohar Bidaye, Chairman of Zicom

Electronic Security Systems Limited, We are pleased to tie

up with CNA to address growing demand of automation

industry particularly Intelligent Building Management

Solutions for large residential and commercial complexes in

India. With the cutting edge technology of CNA and the

marketing depth of Zicom, we will produce break- through

results in the Indian continent.

According to Mr. Micheal Ong, President and CEO of CNA

Group CNAs focus is on overseas expansion and in


106/133

conjunction with this, we are keen to seek out and develop

opportunities in high-growth areas like India where we see

tremendous potential for our C&A business. In line with our

strategy to increase our presence outside Singapore, we are

keen on building a strong business momentum that

captures the burgeoning economic opportunities in the

region.

According to industry analysts, sustained economic activity

driven by Indias software and branded firms and changing

consumer patterns has ignited a widespread demand for

real estate across all sectors including residential,

commercial and industrial construction. This situation is

further boosted by revolutionary changes in land legislation

such as the removal of caps on foreign direct investment,

stamp duty rationalisation and a policy to set up special

economic zones.

Against this scenario, Zicoms comprehensive network of

sales offices in more than 60 cities in India and long

experience therein, positions it advantageously to leverage

on the construction demand in India.

In Zicom, we have found the perfect partner to cater to the

business opportunities brimming in this market, concluded

Mr. Ong.

projects that are procured under the proposed Zicom CNA

has awarded the tender to install and maintain additional 463 closed-circuit

cameras at all the stations on the Western line from Churchgate to Virar for

a year at a cost of Rs 1.21 crore.

The Western Railway (WR) has awarded the tender to Zicom, a company

dealing in electronic security systems. The company will install and

maintain these 463 cameras for the next one year in addition to the existing

57 it has already installed at seven major stations on the Western line.

"Soon, 520 cameras (57 plus 463) will be operational at the entry and exit

points of our suburban stations. It will be a big achievement as far as

security is concerned. As WR has hired these cameras from Zicom, it will be

the duty of the company to maintain them," Satyaprakash, the divisional

Managing average performers

Statistically speaking, even in the highest-performing organisations,

average performers form the largest part of the staff. This stems

from the basic characteristic of normal distribution. While the

organisational success is determined by its top talent, it is the

average performing employee base which takes the centre-stage at

the basic execution level. The average performers are those who

hold the fort and ensure that all transactional activities in an

organisation are dutifully completed, notes Vinit Durve, VP -

corporate human resources, Zicom Electronic Security Systems.

Average performers form the backbone of any organisation and

carry forward the lineage of the company. They are necessary for

the continuity of an organisation, Durve asserts. The obvious

question that arises then is what can organisations do to further


120/133

119

motivate and harness this groups potential? Organisations should

build systems and processes to enable their ordinary employees to

give extra-ordinary results, opines B. Anant, head HR, ICICI

Lombard. Durve adds, This group gets motivated by getting them

to upgrade their skills in their own areas of specialisation and

providing them new tools to do the same work. That is what firms

should focus on.

So are firms doing anything to efficiently manage this employee

base? We strive to offer both equal opportunities as well as equal

access to resources to our entire employee base including this

group, says Mandavi Sharma, VP, operations, Jindal Intellicom.

Shedding light on the initiatives and programmes undertaken for

this set of workforce, Sharma adds, We have a process

enhancement department which focuses on developing middle-tier

performers. There is a constant loop of re-training and feedback

that average performers are put through. The idea behind this is to

convert average performers into high performers and thereby, push

the average upwards.


121/133

120

The other area that firms need to look at is valuing the contribution

of this employee group. The best method is to recognise the

importance of the job being done even if it is mundane. They

have to be kept motivated by constant acknowledgement, e.g. the

loader with a domestic airline likes to be recognised for loading and

unloading the baggage on time, Durve asserts.

Moreover, every employee specialises in some field of work and it

lies in the hands of the management to identify this talent and

nurture it accordingly. Many firms especially in the new age sectors

like IT/ITES are taking proactive measures to address the same.

Sharma cites her firms example, We offer a multitude of

opportunities and facilities to this employee group. One of them is

skill mapping and career growth opportunities where the focus is on

fitting the right employee to the right job. The other is the strong

reward and recognition system, wherein, even the tenured

employees are recognised and rewarded for organisational loyalty.


122/133

121

In addition to this, Jindal Intellicom has an appraisal system which

ensures that 100 per cent of average performers are rewarded, both

under the monthly bonus programme as well as annual appraisals.

In a nutshell, our average performers are very much a part of the

mainstream and do not feel isolated or neglected, Sharma points

out.

While there is a gradual change in the way firms are investing in this

large employee base, it is yet to become a trend across sectors. Will

this be just another management trend confined to the realms of

new age sectors or trickle across? Only time will tell.

RECOMMENDATION

1) Zicoms East Zone has to kick start to the next level that

can be done by venturing out of Kolkata. Venturer has to

be in upcountry locations such as Guwahati, Ranchi,

Siliguri, Bhubaneshwar and Patna.

2) Zicom has to make a concentrated effort and awareness

in their home solutions in the Eastern regional market .

3) Zicom has to put up their Bill Boards in various

upcountry locations because in todays age Seeing is

Believing.
