For vitrified tiles, at August 31, 2008, we had 38 distributors, 373 dealers. We have our Company depot at Bangalore and four depots that are managed by clearing and forwarding agents. For our ACPs, at August 31, 2008, we had 27 dealers, two depots managed by a clearing and forwarding agent, and two showrooms in each of Ahmedabad and Morbi.
We began marketing our CFLs in villages, small towns and district level cities through a network of distributors. Also, we made our CFLs available in a wide variety of retail outlets, including general stores, grocery stores, novelty stores, medical supply stores, newspaper shops, watch showrooms and seasonal stores. Using this method, we achieved nationwide distribution in a relatively short period of time. We believe that our distribution expertise will assist us in creating and growing a nationwide distribution network for our E-Bikes. At August 31, 2008, we had two showrooms and 36 dealers for our E-Bikes.
