D-Link (India) Ltd. is now a "de-merged company" and has been renamed as "Smartlink Network Systems Ltd". It has given away the D-Link Brand Active Products Business to a New Resultant Company named as "D-Link (India)
®Ltd." Today our business includes; our own "DIGILINK " Brand of Structure Cabling products along with R&D based active range of products i.e. VoIP and Networking of Data, Manufacturing and Service Support. Our market reach and our service-driven culture has led us to become the brand of preferred choice. Our unbeaten legacy of delivering the finest products and services coupled with world class, state-of-the-art infrastructure under one roof, has opened new doors of opportunities to capitalise upon.
As a fast growing market, India still remains vastly untapped with immense potential for further penetration. In future, we plan to take advantage of many alluring prospects available before us. Beyond India, with our
®DIGILINK " Brand of SCS Products, we are already a well-known face in Latin America, Middle East, Asia Pacific and SAARC Countries. We are now crossing new global boundaries to fuel our growth from international markets. We are setting up new offices in places where we still have not ventured into.
Our growth opportunities will stem from leveraging our strength in each aspect of our operations. We continue to push the envelope in creating IP driven value through our new initiatives. Through our proposed new brand of VoIP products under the brand name "DIGISOL", we plan to tap the fast emerging Converged Communications market globally. We also endeavour to exploit our manufacturing capabilities and capacities for contract manufacturing opportunities. We mean to further leverage our prolific servicing resources to build long-lasting and value driven relationships with our customers.
®Having re-invented ourselves with our own DIGILINK brand and proposed new and exciting brand, "DIGISOL", we are writing a new chapter in our exhilarating journey. This voyage is taking us towards opening new doors of opportunities, each one will take us to higher planes of growth and value.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
02 ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09
Dear Shareholder,
The bygone fiscal was yet another milestone in our history. Even as the world was staggering under pressures from an economic downturn, we maintained our passive products range turnover at Rs.1390 million. Our service business under DIGICARE brand grew manifold in last financial year. The sale of services clocked in Rs.174.9 Million up from Rs.84.3 Million in the previous year, registering an exemplary growth of 107.4%.
As a Joint Venture for last 15 years, with D-Link multinational company, we got an opportunity to learn a lot about active range of products. In early days we were associated with world leaders such as Cisco and Foundry when they had just entered in the Indian Market. We also got attached with the world leaders in SCS Copper & Fiber, such as Corning USA, & Leviton USA. We invested in our Manufacturing set up, when no one was ready to channel funds towords Manufacturing in India. We had a steep learning curve in our early days with the R&D services rendered to D-Link Taiwan HQ. Today having been through the grind we are reaping the fruits in our independent set up and I am sure while going forward
we will be one of the major networking companies in India with the set up par excellence.
In case of SCS Products, initially we introduced the passive range under D-Link brand and subsequently shifted under our
®own brand DIGILINK . As far as active products are concerned we have been offering them as OEM products to D-Link. Eventually we will offer our R&D based active products to others as well. We will introduce VoIP under our proposed DIGISOL brand to begin with and in future will add products in DIGISOL basket.
The de-merger of D-Link (India) Limited Company into two separate businesses is
a well thought decision.
GARNERING GREATER VALUE
D-Link is proven and established global active product brand. Additions of newer product lines suitable for the Indian market would now be their key prerogative. The home grown SCS product range, DIGILINK, in the last year contributed equivalent business as D-Link® brand in active range for D-Link India. DIGILINK, now with global footprint as a separate brand is definitely poised for high growth in its own range. Also with right kind of set-up and investment in infrastructure it will grow as an Independent Entity.
All the decisions taken are in the best interest of our Share holders. Our Share holders today have shares in two dynamic entities. One entity being D-Link (India) Ltd which has a globally recognized brand of active range products 'D-Link' present for more than 20 years, and at the same time they are a part of another entity Smartlink Network Systems
®Limited which has young SCS brand ‘DIGILINK ’ present in many countries and now entering in newer technology with proposed brand DIGISOL for VoIP range of products in India.
I contentedly reveal that as we are perched on a threshold of opportunities, we are well-equipped with the precise paraphernalia for growth. Stemming from a mature and resourceful R&D set-up, in the most appropriate place like Bangalore, we are ready to get engaged with right kind of technology which is in the best interest of the Company's growth. Though our unit is more than 7 year old, for last 4 years we have been working on VoIP as our Core Competency. Having the right kind of Products, now we are poised to work as OEM suppliers along with launching our own brand in VoIP and newer Technologies.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing set-up furnishes the enviable elements of scale and cost-effectiveness. It’s been 15 years since we commenced manufacturing operations at our Goa facilty. Our manufacturing expertise in area of networking and communication products, personal computers and telecom products has enabled us to consistently deliver beyond expectations high quality products. Bolstered by efficient manufacturing & testing

facilities at Goa, we harbour the expertise to cater to the needs of global companies as EMS or OEM. Currently, we are successfully manufacturing motherboards for Gigabyte since the last 5 years and networking products for D-Link right from starting.
I strongly believe that the Sales & Marketing and the Support & Maintenance are two sides of the same coin. At Smartlink, we nurture both these aspects of our business. With our unique distribution systems incorporated right from inception of the company, we are very close to our customers due to our distributors extensive market reach. We feel their pulse and consequently, have emerged as a partner-of-choice. In case of Service & Support which is driven by our expertise and experience, we serve customers with accredited RMA (return material authorisation) centres for, D-Link, Gigabyte, and MSI products. By far, we have 24 RMA centers all these are located across India, some of them equipped with chip level repairing so that the products can be repaired without shipping to factory.
Having developed an advanced technical assistance Centre (DTAC) at Goa, we are geared to expand this as business. We are already offering technical assistance to D-Link Overseas Business Units and are now looking at new opportunities.
With a determination to move beyond the best, we are heading towards higher planes. Our undaunted focus is our gear that will enable us to deliver superior shareholder value.
I take this opportunity to thank all our stakeholders for their continued support in making us what we are today.
Sincerely,

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
FURNISHING A DISTINCT EDGE
®DIGILINK - A Flagship Brand of the Company
The growth in the structured cabling market witnessed strain due to economic slowdown. Having recorded revenues worth Rs. 13,245 million during FY 2008-09, the SCS market registered a somewhat ordinary growth of 12.9%, over the previous fiscal. However, the SCS industry is witnessing steady demand from sectors such as government, education as well as from increasing deployments of data centers, IP applications and virtualisation solutions that have resulted in the scaling up of sales in this arena. The rise in the requirement of SCS can be also credited to the need for networks to match the number-crunching capacities currently offered by the processors in the Indian IT industry. Moreover, firms specialising in data centre services are fast gaining importance in India and globally, resulting in demand for high-performance cables with high bandwidth applications.
Well-known for the reliability and quality of its products, Smartlink possesses a powerful combination of experience and knowledge of its marketplace, to deliver solutions that exceed expectations. The following key factors have positioned the Company as a vendor-of-choice in a competitive marketplace:
®DIGILINK has an unbeaten legacy behind it in the Structured Cabling arena. Though in the year 1999, the SCS products were introduced and sold under the "D-Link" brand. By 2004, the product range was strategically enhanced for the international markets,
and was re-launched under the new brand name, ®“DIGILINK ”.
®Today, according to IDC, DIGILINK is the No. 2 brand in the Indian Structured Cabling Systems (SCS) segment. The Company's efforts have been acknowledged through numerous awards and prestigious accolades in 2008. "PC Quest Users Choice Awards 2008" ranked
®DIGILINK as No.1 in India's Most Wanted IT Brands for Structured Cabling. In a channel survey done by CRN
®and A.C.Neilson, DIGILINK has also been recognized as the "Channel Champion" in Network Cabling 2008. It further received the award for "Best Structured Cabling Brand 2008" by DQ Channel. Last but not least,
®DIGILINK was recognized as the Most Promising Brand in IT (Editor's Choice Award) by VarIndia Star Nite Award 2008.
®DIGILINK is the undisputed industry leader in providing the entire end-to-end range of structured cabling solutions for enterprises, small and medium business. The Company's 'Future proof' products deliver unparallel value and enable its customers to excel through lower total network ownership costs, enhanced productivity, total reliability and easy scalability of their networks.

®Following its de-merger DIGILINK has re-launched its "Empower Channel Program" with a renewed focus on building technical expertise amongst its channel partners. The Company classifies its channel programs into the following three categories, primarily based on their competencies, size and the spread of business:
During the year under review, more than 200 events were organised, including a 66 cities road show series for customers, partners and trainings for engineers. As a
®result, DIGILINK secured the second rank in the marketplace and enjoyed the reputation of being the highest recalled brand amongst its channel partners, during FY 2008-09. It has also introduced a 24X7 online help desk to directly communicate with its partners.
Going forward, the company is not only harvesting on their current partners but also plans to grow its existing channel base to target new partners and verticals.
®As DIGILINK continues to create ripples in an increasingly upbeat domestic market, it is cognisant of the vast potential the overseas markets have to offer.

In the near future, the Company aims to replicate the success of the "Empower Partner Program" in international markets. Through such country-specific partner programs, the Company aims at enhancing its brand perception amongst its partners.

The Internal Auditor tests the efficacy of the company's internal control systems and identify any shortcomings in systems & processes. There are vibrant audit committees periodically reviewing the internal audit reports, management observations on the same and monitors implementation of improvements suggested.
The Company is successfully complying with the state-of-the-art ORACLE ERP systems through which all the controls are exercised meticulously. Their best business practices have facilitated their sustainable market results. The Company is moving ahead on the path to deliver sound Information Technology systems for future growth.
With a reliable and proven infrastructure today Smartlink is perfectly poised to benefit from the opportunities presented by the thriving structured cabling market and the growing demand for state-of-the-art VOIP solutions in Active range of Products. The SCS market is on the threshold of growth owing to the following factors:
One of the most eminent growth drivers for the SCS market is data centre consolidation that is expected to drive the acceptance of fibre-based solutions and 10G solutions in the market. Additionally, newer paths such as triple plays, FTTH, extensions of SCS to the residential domain and Giga-ready homes are bearing out to be the key growth drivers. The cabling medium has also spurred due to the penetration of bandwidth and the usage of its application. Technologies that have acted as channels of success are virtualisation, on-demand applications, VoIP and high performance computing.
Though the economic slowdown weakened the industry, increased Government spending on IT compensated for the downturn. The IT industry is witnessing increasing demand from the infrastructure sector and Government entities that are emerging as heavy investors. Both the segments have a growth rate of over 20%, higher than over all IT market. This signals lucrative prospects for the SCS market.
In addition to these sectors, segments such as, hospitality, healthcare and education are showing demand for Structured Cabling Systems (SCS).
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (contd.)
Cost effective and secure solutions
Green Initiation
Converged Communications
RISKS, THREATS AND CONCERNS
Product Obsolescence
Today, strategic and intelligent cabling solutions such as proactive network monitoring and fault diagnosis are the main focus of IT managers. This practice is gaining recognition as intelligent infrastructure provides greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and security to companies that are planning to restructure their infrastructure.
Green technologies are expected to pull investments into the SCS business. Smartlink was among the first companies to go green. As a Company that feels responsible towards its environment, Smartlink has developed a complete range of green or RoHS based products.
India has strongly witnessed the increased acceptance of IP technology and architecture. According to IDC reports, the unified communications market is expected to reach US$ 1,200 mn with a strong CAGR of 25%. A major growth driver that affirms the success of IP technology is the high availability of bandwidth with reduced costs and affordable VoIP solutions. Most of the multi-location organisations as well as mid-sized enterprises are adopting IP technology. The SMBs and mid-markets are proving to be the major industry drivers, with voice conferencing paving its way successfully. Furthermore, the future lies in 3G-enabled processes and tapping the mobile industry.
The dark shadows of recession have given rise to the acceptance of unified communications as a tool to lower travel expenses and also prove to be an eco friendly system. Organisations are viewing unif ied communications as an opportunity to balance work life and freedom to work from home. This access of mobility, coupled with their integration and with their integrated business applications has provided impetus to this technology. In turn, this has enabled improved communication and collaboration across enterprises. Smartlink is well-equipped with a robust unified communications portfolio to capitalise on opportunities the future unfolds.
Equipped with a concrete business model, Smartlink consistently focuses on deepening its prowess in a competitive marketplace. Consequently, proven risk management measures are an intrinsic part of the Company's functioning process.
The Company's business harbours the inherent risk of rapid product obsolesce. The Company relies on its best-
in-class R&D expertise to develop innovative solutions as a key to counter this challenge.
During the year under review, the industry saw two major unforeseen incidences owing to economic slowdown. Firstly there was an unprecedented upsurge and the sudden fall of international copper prices, followed by a sudden collapse of crude oil prices which determine polymer prices. As SCS manufacturers, the Company was required to stock copper cables and to some extent mitigates the impact high volatility in prices. Secondly, unpredictable forecasts from a stressed market potentially exposed the Company to wide gaps in the demand and supply. The Company successfully combated these challenges to a great extent through its strategic material planning function.
As part of its strategy for growth and diversification, the Company is expected to focus on the promising and emerging industry segment of converged communications systems. Of this, the IP Telephony application forms a major component with a current addressable market size estimated to be above Rs. 300 crores and growing briskly. Sensing the opportunity early on, it has invested in developing the capability and expertise to emerge as a worthy global player in the converged communication solutions space. It has already established integrated end-to-end operations including design, development, marketing, service and support, to effectively cater to the demand in this space.
Sensitive to the market needs, the Company offers comprehensive IP telephony solutions bundle for specific verticals within the SMB segment. Its converged communications portfolio, under the proposed brand name 'DIGISOL', encompasses value-added products such as, VoIP, IP Surveillance, Storage solutions (network attached solutions), Unified Communication covering converged voice, data, video over IP platform, DATA Center virtualization. Going forward, the Company is focused on forging a resilient presence in the marketplace by entering into meaningful partnerships. The Company's long-term goal includes offering self-sustaining converged communication solutions for the SMB and Enterprise segments. Additionally, it is also looking at providing enterprise grade service support as a business enabler.

20. The Company had instituted “Employee Stock Option Plan” (ESOP) for its employees in the year 2000. To administer the ESOP the Company had created a Trust viz. D-Link (India) Limited ESOP Trust (the Trust) in September 2000. The said Trust was allotted 6,50,000 Equity Shares of Rs 2 each. In terms of the said ESOP, the Trust has been granting options to the employees in the form of Equity Shares which vest at the rate of 25% on each successive anniversary of the grant date.
The accounting of ESOP's granted by the Trust to the employees of the Company is done in accordance with The SEBI (ESOS and ESPS)Guidelines, 1999. These Guidelines were amended in July 2004 for all accounting periods commencing after 30th June 2003. The amendment required the Company to prepare its accounts as if the ESOS/ESPS scheme was administered by itself (rather than by the Trust). The Company has accordingly considered all the options granted by the Trust on or after 1st April 2004. The difference between the Market price of the share(intrinsic value) and the exercise price of the option, on the date of grant, is being amortised over the vesting period. The annual amortization is included under “Payments to and Provisions for Employees” in Schedule-14 and the cumulative charge is disclosed in the Balance sheet under“Employee stock options outstanding”.
21. The figures pertaining to the current year are after giving effect to the Scheme of Arrangement ( Refer Note no 3 above ) and hence are not strictly comparable to the figures of the previous year.
22. Previous year's figures have been regrouped , wherever necessary, to conform to those of the current year.
