 Operational Performance
 
 During this year, turnover has increased to Rs. 4,53,405 lacs as
 compared to Rs. 2,81,628 lacs which has significantly increased by 61 %
 as compared to previous year. The net profit of the Company has
 increased to Rs. 6,144 lacs as compared to Rs. 4,255 lacs which has
 significantly increased by 44% as compared to previous year. Our export
 turnover has also been increased to Rs. 92,271 lacs as compared to Rs.
 42,116 lacs with record growth of 119% as compared to previous year.
 
 In 2010-11, Gokul Refoils and Solvent Ltd attained two landmarks viz.
 Its highest ever record turnover and highest net profit. This landmark
 performance is a result of better
 
 penetration in new and existing markets with new capacities; higher
 consumer demand for FMCG products due to growing affluence and higher
 disposable income in the hands of consumers linked to better quality of
 life and best in class manufacturing performance at all our plants.
 Record performance is also attributed to volume growth and better
 margin in branded products. The growth in export turnover is due to
 capture more market share of meal and castor oil well supported by
 capacity additions during the year.
 
 The year 2010-11 experienced the Indian economy battle with out of
 control, upward spiraling food prices and uncontrollable inflation.
 Indian industries fought a long drawn battle between falling profits
 and consumer benefit.  In this dismal scenario, where on one end World
 recession kept global sentiments low and on the other end domestic
 inflation impacted household spending, edible oils brought much needed
 relief to the Indian agri basket by maintaining level prices. In view
 of unstable economic environment, capacity expansion, increased
 efficiency led optimum capacity utilization and an increased share from
 branded sales helped the Company successfully tide over difficult
 times.
 
 Segment Information
 
 Hitherto the management had identified two primary business segments
 viz. Edible oil business and non-edible oil businesses. Due to changes
 in the internal reporting system and organization as structure based on
 the guiding principles given in Accounting Standard on Segment
 Reporting (AS-17) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountant of
 India, the management reviewed and reclassified its primary business
 segments as Agro based commodities which incorporates product groups
 viz.  soyabean, palm line, cotton seed oil, sun flower oil, mustard
 seed oil, castor oil, oil cakes, de-oiled cakes, vanaspati, oil seeds,
 its bye products and other agro-commodities which have similar
 production process, similar methods of distribution and have similar
 risks and returns. Hence, the primary segment information is reported
 based on this classification from this year.
 
 Dividend
 
 The Company has paid Interim Dividend of 5% (Rs. 0.10/- per share)
 during the year. In view of the improved performance of the Company,
 the Directors are pleased to recommend a final dividend of 11% (Rs
 0.22/- per share).  Thus the aggregate dividend for the year 2010-11
 works out to 16% (Rs. 0.32/- per share) and the total payout will be
 Rs. 491.05 lacs including dividend distribution tax of Rs. 68.97 lacs.
 
 Status of New Projects and Expansion of Existing Projects
 
 During this year, we strengthened our manufacturing facilities by
 enhancing our castor seed processing capacity from 300 TPD to 1100 TPD,
 castor solvent extraction capacity from 200 TPD to 600 TPD and castor
 refining capacity from 200 TPD to 400 TPD.
 
 To meet India''s oil deficit and growing demand, the Company is making
 all efforts to run its facilities at optimum levels. Better
 efficiencies have come into the production process with the
 commencement of our ultra modern chillex plant at Sidhpur with a
 capacity of 500 TPD. The Chillex technology is the latest technology
 available across the globe and we believe, among few of the best
 state-of-the-art edible oil plants in Asia today.
 
 Gearing to meet the growing demand your Company has increased its
 production capacity from 19,14,000 MT in FY10 to 23,94,000 MT in FY11.
 
 Further, we have successfully run our new Haldia plant on optimum
 capacity utilization. This has led to enhanced access and logistics
 efficiency in markets of the North East, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand,
 Orissa and Uttar Pradesh.  The refinery with 1,100 TPD capacity has
 given boost to the top line and bottom line of Company.
 
 The Company is further expanding its solvent extraction capacity at
 Sidhpur plant by 300 TPD to meet out growing export demand of Rapeseed
 meal. Further, we are increasing capacity of Castor BSS plant (Castor
 Refining) at Gandhidham by 200 TPD to capture more market share of
 castor oil.
 
 Today, with four manufacturing plants spread over strategic geographic
 locations, we are the one of the top edible oil companies in India as
 well as top castor oil companies in the world – giving us economies of
 scale, reduced input costs and ability to serve large number of
 customers.
 
 Brand Building – Gokul and Zaika
 
 It is imperative to create top of mind recall amongst your consumers
 such that the product and the brand become synonymous. Gokul Refoils''
 two flagship brands Gokul and Zaika performed exceptionally well in the
 current year. Today, Gokul is positioned as the premium brand for the
 loyal housewife while Zaika is the affordable brand and more popular in
 vanaspati. All major brands of Gokul Refoils reported robust growth for
 the year. Today, nearly 50% of the Company''s edible oil sales come from
 the branded segment and retail sales are also significantly increasing
 in the proportion.
 
 The Company has developed a two pronged strategy to address both the
 urban and rural markets. As an initiative to increase its branded sales
 proportion and visibility of products in the market, the Company has
 placed its products in Big Bazaar, Spencer, Star Bazaar & National
 Handloom and is in talks with other retail outlets like Reliance Retail
 and D-Mart.
 
 The Company is reaching out to the discerning housewife and family
 shopper through these retail chains where its products are well stocked
 and displayed in front shelves.  Regular promotions and discounts help
 in increasing new consumer trials and repeat sales.
 
 The semi urban and rural markets are under-penetrated, scattered and
 operate through mom and pop stores. Thus, distribution and reach are
 critical to ensure products reach the consumers. Deepening our retail
 penetration we increased our C&F/depots to 50 in FY11 from 41 in FY10.
 A small but a substantial step towards dedicated retails sales was
 undertaken by widening our distribution network to more than 1,000
 distributors this year from around 400 in FY10. Giving a major push to
 its retailing efforts, the Company doubled its retailers from approx
 1,00,000 in FY10 to approx 2,00,000 in FY11.
 
 Regular advertisements in print and electronic media at local and
 national level, sponsoring local events to create brand visibility,
 outdoor hoardings and radio advertisement are just some of the
 activities undertaken by the Company in a dedicated effort towards
 brand building.
