 Review of Operations
 
 
 The company has produced a quantity of 7,89,174 MT. of cement during
 the current financial year compared to the previous year production of
 6,51,278 MT. of cement registering an increase of 21 %. The quantity
 sold during the year under review stands at 7,94,528 MT. compared to
 the quantity of 6,38,449 MT. during the previous financial year showing
 an increase of 24%.
 
 The gross sales in terms of value during the year under review were at
 Rs.37645.47 Lakhs as against Rs.22379.87 Lakhs during the previous
 financial year translating into an increase of 68 %. Similarly the
 Profit Before Tax for the current financial year is Rs.21 85.42 Lakhs
 against Rs.1 29.49 Lakhs for the previous financial year. The profit
 after tax for the year under review stands at Rs.1 580.45 Lakhs compared
 to Rs.57.61 Lakhs during the previous financial year.
 
 It can be observed that there is a significant improvement in the
 performance both in the physical terms and financial terms during the
 year under review compared to the previous year.
 
 The higher production and sale as well as and the improved sale price
 have helped the company to post a better performance compared to the
 previous year. During the year 201 1-12 there was an increase in the
 cost of electricity and coal, which are major components of cost for a
 cement industry. The average increase in unit charges of power stands
 at about 1 1 % (current year average Rs.4.00 per unit and Rs.3.59 during
 the previous year) and the cost of coal per tone has gone up on an
 average by 28% (from average of Rs.3923.00 during 201 0-11 to Rs.5049.00
 during the year 2011-12). But for the increase in these costs, the
 company''s profitability would have been much better during the year 201
 1-12. Inspite of the increase in these fuel costs, the company could
 get a better financial results with the help of higher production and
 sale quantities and better realizations in sale price.
 
 The cement industry, with its fluctuating fortunes, is known for
 abnormal variations in the prices owing to several reasons including
 the changes in demand for the product, supply side changes, increase in
 installed capacities, changes in the Government spending pattern,
 emphasis on infrastructure projects, political Situation etc. The year
 under review has seen a better price realization and it is hoped that
 the situation would continue.
 
 The statistics available show that there is negative growth in AP for
 cement demand by about 2% during the year 2011-12 compared to the
 negative growth of 12 % in the year 2010-11 and positive growth of 3%
 during 2009-10. The company could over come the impact of this negative
 growth by expanding its marketing network to neighboring states by
 increasing the quantum of sale in these states.
 
 Expansion Project
 
 The company has embarked upon an expansion project, through its fully
 owned subsidiary M/s.Vennar Ceramics Limited to set up a 6500 Sq.
 metres per day of ceramic wall tiles project at its existing power
 plant site at Perikigudem. The estimated project cost for the same
 stands at Rs.55 crores. As the company has started to scout for a
 strategic partner with experience in marketing of ceramic products
 particularly wall tiles, it has been identified that M/s.Kajaria
 Ceramics Limited is interested in taking up marketing arrangement as
 well as to invest in the company as strategic partner. In view of the
 fact that they have an established brand with all India presence and in
 order that synergies'' in operation and marketing can be achieved, it
 has been thought of that the company should go in to a strategic
 association with M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited. They have been invited
 to take up a stake of 51%. Accordingly the total project cost of 55
 crores is being financed both by Anjani Portland Cement Limited and
 M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited with term loan assistance of Bank of
 Baroda. The tiles project is expected to become operational during the
 middle of June, 2012. The management is confident that with the
 assistance of M/s.Kajaria Ceramics Limited the ceramics wall tiles
 project would be an added advantage to the Anjani Portland Cement
 Limited.
