 Name of the Units      Cane crushed       Raw sugar processed
                         (in tonnes)               (in tonnes)
 
 Sakthinagar Unit            1549498                     77126
 
 Sivaganga Unit               491845                     22088
 
 Modakurichi Unit                  -                    181712
 
 Dhenkanal Unit               314960                     55612
 
 Due to shortage of cane, Modakurichi Unit did not take up the crushing
 operation during the year under review. Sugar cane crushed in
 Sakthinagar Unit includes sugar cane drawn from areas of Modakurichi
 Unit.
 
 Out of the total sugar of 5.37 lakhs MT produced by the Company during
 the year under review, 3.14 lakhs MT of sugar was produced by
 processing of Raw sugar.
 
 DISTILLERY DIVISION
 
 During the year under review, 490.77 lakh litres of industrial alcohol
 was produced at Sakthinagar Distillery Unit and 86.06 lakh litres at
 Dhenkanal Distillery Unit.
 
 The Company has not produced ethanol as the ethanol blending programme
 has not been implemented in the State of Tamilnadu.
 
 SOYA DIVISION
 
 27995 tonnes of soya bean has been crushed in the Soya plant during the
 year under review. This division has exported products worth Rs.2336.54
 lakhs to various countries.
 
 CO-GENERATION DIVISION
 
 The total power generated in the co-generation plant by the Company
 during the year was 5640 lakh units out of which 4205 lakh units have
 been exported to Tamilnadu Electricity Board and others. The
 implementation of the second co-generation plant with 25 MW capacity at
 Sakthinagar is delayed and is expected to be commissioned in the
 current year.
 
 Sakthinagar unit has been awarded first prize for best co-generation in
 Tamilnadu region for 2009-2010 by the South Indian Sugar Cane and Sugar
 Technologists Association, Chennai.
 
 FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
 For the year 2011 -12, cane availability is expected to be slightly
 better than the year 2010-11 on account of increase in planting of
 sugarcane in the command areas. The country''s total production of sugar
 during the season 2011-12 is estimated to be higher than last season.
 This may lead to reduction in the selling price of sugar. Besides
 Government policies, the global demand-supply trends will also have an
 impact in the financial performance of the Indian sugar industry.
 
 The performance of the Industrial Alcohol Division and Power Division
 of the Company are expected to be satisfactory for the current year.
 
 The Company continues to be under the Corporate Debt Restructuring
 Scheme with respect to restructuring of its secured debts availed from
 Banks/Financial Institution.

 The Company has not accepted any deposit from the public during the
 year under review. At the end of the financial year, 46 deposits
