Dear Shareholders, It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the 23rd Annual General Meeting of your Company and share my views with you on the performance and future outlook of the company. We have been able to achieve a turnover of Rs.151.39 Crores which is 14.50% more than last year''s turnover and a pre-tax profit of Rs.12.51 Crores which is marginally less than last year''s pre-tax profit as a result of tremendous pressure on the margins due to increase in the raw material cost, transportation and salary & wages. Due to the world economic conditions, customers are not accepting any increase in price and thus we have had to absorb some costs. Further the depreciation of Indian Rupee against the US Dollar during the month of March 2011 had further impacted the Other income which subsequently resulted in lower profit than the last Year. With a view to cater to the requirements of our esteemed clientele, we started to import Un-polished slabs from Saudi Arabia, which has prohibited the export of Granite Rough Blocks. The Company has last year added two more wires saws and flaming machine which will increase the productivity and reduce the operating costs. With the addition of these new equipments and new colors of granite we are optimistic of increasing the sales volume in the years to come and at the same time maintaining current fixed cost levels and fuller utilization of machines and equipments. For the coming year, we aim to sustain aggressive strategy of selling hard but at the same time maintaining lower costs in an effort to increase the profit margin. Our venture into new and upcoming markets like South America, Middle East, South Africa, East Europe and Russia turn out to be profitable and we hope to reap much more business in the coming years. We are proud to inform you that this year we have exports reaching over 40 different countries and in the coming year we plan to reach more. We at AGIL continued to grow and perform better to achieve awards and accolades. The Company has received Special Export Award from CAPEXIL for the Tenth year running. By Adapting, Innovating and Excelling in execution we intend to take the Company to greater days in the coming year and to achieve this we solicit your sincere, dedicated and continued support to make 2011-12 a truly rewarding year for all. As always, I continue to seek your goods wishes and support for our vision and goal. Sunil K. Arora New Delhi, 22.04.2011 |
