 FINANCIAL YEAR
 
 The financial period of the Company has been extended by a period of 3
 (three) months up to 30th June, 2012. Accordingly, the Company''s
 financial period 2011-12 is for a period of 15 (fifteen) months i.e.;
 1st April, 2011 to 30th June, 2012.
 
 OPERATIONS
 
 Steel industry has witnessed difficult time in FY 2011-12. The
 financial and operational performance was marred by the slowdown in the
 end-user industry yet increasing raw material prices adversely affected
 the margins of all the steel companies.  The Company performance during
 the period was also affected due to the slowdown in the automobiles
 sector. The key raw material prices like those of iron ore, coal,
 coking coal had increased substantially whereas the same can''t be
 passed on to consumers due to weak demand.
 
 However, the situation is gradually improving with a fall in coking
 coal prices and stability in other raw material prices. The Company is
 the first one in Orissa to start a captive iron ore mine located at the
 villages namely-Deojhar, Kulum and Mahadevnasa under Champa
 sub-division of Keonjhar district in the last ten years. Sourcing of
 iron ore from its captive mine will result in savings in raw material
 costs benefits, which will be reflected in the coming quarter of the
 Company.
 
 The Company achieved net sales of Rs.1 85,842.40 lakhs in 15 months
 period ending 30th June 2012. The Company had extended its accounting
 year by a period of three months to end on 30th June 2012. Accordingly,
 the current financial year of the Company is for a period of fifteen
 months from 1st April 2011 to 30th June 2012. Hence, the current
 period''s figures are not comparable with the previous year''s figures.
 
 The Company''s consolidated net sales were Rs 228546.98 lakhs for a 15
 months period ending 30th June 2012. The pellet plant which started
 commercial operations in December contributed incremental revenues
 during the period. The consolidated profit after tax was Rs. 2066.45
 lakhs for the period.
 
 CAPITAL
 
 During the period under review, there has been no change in the capital
 base of the Company which comprised of 123,499,536 fully paid equity
 shares of Rs. 10/- each.
 
 DEPOSITS
 
 Your Company did not accept any deposits within the meaning of Section
 58A of the Companies Act, 1956 and the rules made there under.
