 OPERATING PERFORMANCE

 expectations and business environment has been given in the Management
 Discussions & Analysis , which is attached to and made an integral part
 of this Report.
 
 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2010-2011
 
 4.  The Company had recorded a Net Revenue of Rs. 89,268.46 lacs
 (including other income and Agricultural Profit aggregating to Rs.
 403.14 lacs) for the year ended 30th June, 2011. The Gross Sales
 (inclusive of Excise Duty) of the Company for the year 2010-11

 the year 2009-10.
 
 5.  The earning before interest, depreciation, tax for the year under
 review stood at Rs. 7972.42 lacs representing 8.93% of the net revenue
 and showed an increase of 618.47% over previous year''s Rs. 1109.63
 lacs. The improvement of EBIDTA of the Company during the year under
 review can be attributed to better capacity utilization due to more
 availability of sugarcane during the year under review.
 
 6.  The sugar industry continued facing difficulties on account of the
 negative policies of the Government during the year under review. Sugar
 prices remained under severe pressure during the year largely due to
 measures taken by the Central Government in its overall policy of

 be bearish with the continued imposition of restrictions on exports,
 stockholding limits on sugar, impending increase in sugar production
 and large releases by the government under the monthly release
 mechanism.

 sugarcane based on political criteria. On one hand sugar prices
 plummeted and remained under pressure while on the other hand sugarcane
 prices was increased by Rs. 40/qtl by the State Government which
 resulted in huge losses for the industry as a whole.
 
 8.  The performance of the industrial alcohol divisions and the
 renewable power divisions of the company improved during the year due
 to better availability of molasses and bagasse.  The prices of the raw
 materials continued to be firm during the year due to strong demand by
 these two sectors.

 30th June, 2012 and the conversion of interest on term loans also
 falling due between this period into funded interest term loan.

 10.  The Authorised Share Capital of the Company was increased from Rs.
 40,00,00,000 (Rupees forty crore only), divided into 4,00,00,000 equity
 shares of Rs. 10/- each to Rs. 120,00,00,000 (Rupees one hundred twenty
 crore only) by creation of an additional 8,00,00,000 unclassified
