The directors have pleasure in placing the directors report together with management discussion and analysis for the financial year ended on September 30, 2010.

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND ANALYSIS

A summary of the financial results of the Company for the year under report is stated as under:

(Rs in mn)

Particulars Year ended Year ended Sept 30, 2010 Sept 30, 2009

Net Sales/Income from operations 12,616 7063

Other Operating Income 570 183

Net Profit/(Loss) after Tax (747) 717

In view of substantial business losses, and need to conserve cash, the directors express their inability to recommend any dividend for the year.

During the year, the business of the Company has been affected adversely by a sudden fall in sugar prices in a short span of time. The ex-factory prices of the sugar sold by the Company came down by 40% between February to August 2010. The Company has been carrying large inventories of white sugar, both from raw and cane, and unprocessed raw sugar, including raw sugar in transit. On such sales, it had to incur the operational losses on account of valuation of the stocks at NRV and the net sugar realisation falling lower than the cost of production. The valuation fall and lower realization of sugar inventory resulted in one-time exceptional loss of nearly Rs 4 per kg, and a non recovery of off season expenses including the interest expense.

This has adversely affected the financial ratios and created liquidity constrains. The management is consciously aware of the situation and is confident that despite such valuation related losses, which have been common to the sugar industry, the measures taken by the Management, to improve its business viability by cost controls, product improvements and financial engineering, will improve the financial position of the Company. It is considering the options of carrying out business restructuring, future capitalisations, replacement of short term loans with the long term ones etc to tie over the liquidity constrains. Your directors are confident that the measures stated herein above, would be sufficient to continue the businesses of the Company viable both for short and long term.

The analysis of the balance sheet of the Company as at September 30, 2010 and profit and loss account for the year ended on that date is reported as under:

AUDITORS REPORT

The comments on the statement of account referred to in the report of the auditors are self-explanatory, and explained in the appropriate notes to accounts. The Board has taken note of the qualification made by Auditors in their Report on Deferred Tax credit. Such credit is taken on the judgment exercised by the Company based on the following:

1. Recent increase in sugar prices and change in business cycles.

2. Changes in the Government policies deregulating the industry including reduction in levy quota, permitting exports, relaxing quantitative controls on sugar and permitting procurement of ethanol for admixing with petrol.

3. Emphasis on exports particularly export of sugar of 40,800 mt, which the Company is entitled under its past export obligations. Export of sugar is giving positive arbitrage over domestic price of sugar. Further, the Company is strengthening its ENA and IMFL export related activities and creating new markets.

4. The Company is enlarging its non cyclical business areas viz power and potable spirits which give higher margins. Increase in power export tariff will assist the Company to meet its plans. The new brands introduced in IMFL segment will yield higher margins.

5. The Company, having three integrated sugar refineries, is in the best possible position to reap benefits of changing sugar scenario.

6. The Company has developed risk assessment and mitigation skills over the years which will result in bringing stability in its earnings capability.

7. The Company has identified technical innovation as a key driver of growth. Under this approach, the Company is pursuing various technical and agricultural development models. It has created a new business vertical, Integrated Casetech Consultants Pvt Ltd, for this purpose.

The management is confident that the above steps initiated by the Company will have a positive impact on the Companys financial performance, therefore, its ability to utilize the deferred tax credit going forward in future.
