 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
 
 Income from Operation (including other operating income) for the year
 ended on 31.03.2011 stood at Rs. 170.17 crores, as against Rs. 181.48
 crores for the previous year. The other Income for the year stood at
 Rs. 2.52 crores aggregating the total income to Rs. 172.69 crores. The
 reduced operational income was on account of sale of vessel,
 M.V.Everest in the last quarter of the previous year. Hence, there were
 no earnings from her for the entire year.
 
 The Net Profit for the year ended 31.03.2011 stood at Rs. 40.06 crores
 as against Rs. 40.99 crores for the previous year in spite of a
 reduction of operating income of approx. 5%.
 
 The Company continues its efforts to reduce its interest burden by
 replacing high cost debt with lower cost debt. As a result of this and
 the regular pay back of debt, interest and finance charges have reduced
 by approx. 20%.
 
 The Company continues to follow Accounting Standard 30 ''AS-30 Financial
 Instrument: (Recognition & Measurement)''.
 
 OPERATIONS:
 
 During the year under review, the Company sold its second hand Platform
 Supply Vessel ''M.V. Mana''. Further the Board of Directors have resolved
 to sell two of the Company''s AHTSVs., viz., ''M.V.Garware-l'' & ''M.V.
 Garware-V, in view of their age and since employment prospects for
 these vessels are reducing.
 
 The Company''s wholly owned subsidiary in The Netherlands took delivery
 of one Large Platform Supply Vessel, ''M.V.Beaucephalus'' in December,
 2010. The vessel has been awarded a contract for 4 year   4 year
 (option) in Brazil in May, 2011.
 
 The Company''s Platform Supply Vessel, ''M.V.Kailash'' has recently been
 awarded a 4 year contract by Petrobras (Brazil).  The vessel should
 commence contract in the latter part of August/early September, 2011,
 after the required modification as per needs of Petrobras and
 mobilization is completed.
 
 DIVIDEND:
 
 During the year under review, the Company has declared and paid three
 Interim Dividends aggregating to 19%.
 
 Your Directors, subject to the Shareholders'' approval, are pleased to
 recommend a final dividend of 5%, for the year under review. Thus, the
 total Dividend for the year under review is 24%, as against 23% for the
 previous year. The final dividend will be paid to the Shareholders,
 whose names appear on the Register of Members as on 27th September,
 2011.
 
 The total cash outflow on account of Dividend and Tax thereon
 (including Interim Dividends) amounts to Rs. 6.66 crores (previous year
 Rs. 6.40 crores).
 
 FUTURE OUTLOOK:
 
 Price of oil has increased and stabilized during the year under review.
 This has led to an increase in E & P activities (with oil at around 
 - 0) and the outlook appears bright on a global basis - in spite of
 economic problems in Europe & USA.
 
 Presently most of the Company''s new vessels (owned & Bareboat) are on
 long term contracts and we hope that those vessels come off contract in
 the next 12 months will be redeployed on long term jobs. The Company is

 Subsidiary in The Netherlands, viz., Global Offshore Services B.V.,
 (GOSBV). GOSBV has taken delivery of ''M.V. Beaucephalus''. The vessel is

 performance will only be reflected in the current year.
 
 The Company''s subsidiary, viz., Garware Offshore International Services
