 1.  RESERVE AND DIVIDEND
 
 In view of accumulated losses, your Directors regret their inability to
 recommend any dividend for the year under review.
 
 During the year under review, the company has created capital reserve
 of Rs. 351 Lacs being capital surplus arising out of waiver of
 principal liability in respect of term loan from lender.
 
 During the year under review, the company has allotted 1,21,36,187
 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a premium of Rs. 20/- per share.
 Accordingly, share premium reserve has been increased by Rs. 2427.24
 Lacs.
 
 2.  REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
 
 The company manufactures phosphatic fertilizers viz., Single Super
 Phosphate (SSP) in both Powder and Granular form along with Mixed
 Fertilizers, Sulphuric Acid and Soya oil.
 
 It may be pertinent to note that Govt. of India thankfully finalized
 the revised Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Policy effective from 1st May,
 2010 and this placed SSP industry at par with other complex
 manufacturers. Moreover, the main objective of shifting from
 product-based subsidy (PBS) to nutrient- based subsidy (NBS) regime was
 to restore soil health by addressing the nutrient imbalances since
 sulphur has also been considered as one of the nutrients, which was
 neglected till now.
 
 The average capacity utilization of SSP industry for financial year
 ended March 2011 has remained at 49.50%. The capacity utilization of
 SSP during the year was 79.61% as against 70.22% reported during the
 previous financial year, which is considered to be highest in the
 industry of our size and operations. This increased capacity
 utilization was mainly due to availability of raw material and
 de-bottlenecking activities carried out at plants with active support
 from consortium members bank and better management of working capital
 though the working capital at the disposal of company remained at
 comparatively lower level as against peers in the industry.
 
 Due to expectant better realization on SSP with limited availability of
 working capital, the company focused its attention mainly on SSP
 segment which is its core competence. Hence the company made little
 focus on other products like mixed fertilizers – NPK, which require
 higher working capital and soya oil. However, during the current year
 the Company decided to concentrate on – NPK , Sulphuric acid, Oleum and
 Sulphur Trading activities etc with the sanction of additional working
 capital.
 
 Due to this, during the year ended March 31, 2011 your company has
 achieved remarkable sales turnover of Rs. 35,425.71Lacs whilst
 fertilizer and chemicals division contributed Rs. 30,780.79 Lacs and
 soya division contributed Rs. 4644.92 Lacs. EBIDTA of the company stood
 at Rs. 3874.29 Lacs.  This achievement is unparallel in the entire
 operation since inception of the company.
 
 During the year under review, the company has decided to utilize soya
 facilities depending on economic viability. Moreover, throughout the
 year, there was no parity in soya oil business which compelled the
 company to go slow in this regard to avoid losses.
 
 During the year, subsequent to negotiation with term lender and with
 thrust on debt reduction exercise, the term liability has been reduced
 by Rs. 1160 Lacs which will improve liquidity position in the long
 term.
 
 Your Directors are hopeful that with the continuance of NBS Policy with
 additional contribution from soya division and with the additional
 support from working capital bankers, the performance of the company
 would improve in the current year.
 
 3.  CAPITAL RESTRUCTURE
 
 In accordance with the DRS sanctioned by Hon. BIFR, the company has
 allotted to promoters 1,21,36,190 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a
 premium of Rs. 20/-per share which has resulted in increase of equity
 base from present level of Rs.5.55 crores to Rs. 17.69 Crores. These
 shares have been listed in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) with lock-in
 period as per SEBI Guidelines.
 
 4.  EXPANSION ACTIVITY
 
 At Udaipur, the production of SSP will increase from 1.32 lac MT to
 1.81 lac MT in the current year.  At the same time, company is also in
 the process of increasing capacity of GSSP from 0.66 lac MT to 1.66 lac
 MT. The related expansion work is going on as per schedule.
 
 At Indore, company has already applied for environmental clearances for
 expansion of SSP capacity by 1.00 lac MT.
 
 Moreover, at Pune unit with the de-bottlenecking, capacity would
 further increase.
 
 At Soya oil division, company has floated enquiry for Lecithin plant
 which will generate value-added product.
