PERFORMANCE:
The Total Income of the Company, which stood at Rs. 2941.89 lacs
duringthe year under review, recorded a rise of 18%, when compared to
Rs. 2493.10 lacs during the previous Financial Year 2010-11. Profit
after Tax, which stood at Rs. 431.92 lacs during the year 2011-12, was
lower by 289 lacs, when compared with Rs. 720.92 lacs during the
previous year 2010-11, mainly on account of higher depreciation.
Company''s Sugar Mill at Motihari, Bihar, the up-gradation of which was
partly completed during Season 2010, could not operate during the
entire financial year 2011-12 on account of availability of desired
funds for working capital leading to non-viability to run. The Company
succeeded in registering completion of construction of residential
flats and sale thereof amounting to Rs. 84.64 lacs.
Your Directors are hopeful that the performance of the Company will
improve in the coming years after resumption of operations at the Sugar
Mill and further expansion of the same. The Management of the Company
have been putting its best efforts for raising funds to meet working
capital as well as capital expenditure requirements for expansion.

Your directors are pleased to recommend a dividend @ 3% for the
financial year 2011-12 i.e., Rs. 0.30 per equity share of Rs. 10/-
each, for your approval. The Proposed dividend, if approved at the
ensuing Annual General Meeting, would result in appropriation of Rs.
56.16 lacs (including Corporate Dividend Tax of Rs. 8.16 lacs) out of
the profits.
COMMENCEMENT OF SUGAR MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE PROGRAMMES:
Your Directors are confident about raising of funds for desired working
capital as well as capital expenditure for expansion. With the

The implementation of the expansion programme increasing the capacity
of the said Sugar Mill to 4000 TCD together with setting-up of 25 MW
captive power plant will also be undertaken upon availability of the
desired funds.

activities of the Company significantly followed by significant
improvement in its financial performance in coming years.
