 Modakurichi          :  472696
 
 Dhenkanal            :  315565

 FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
 For the next season 2012-13, sugarcane availability is expected to be
 higher than the current year leading to increased sugar production in
 the country. This may impact the selling price of sugar. However, the
 Central Government''s policy of allowing export of sugar will help the
 Indian sugar industry to certain extent. The Company expects to crush
 higher quantity of cane during the current year compared to the
 previous year.
 
 The performance of the Industrial Alcohol Division and the Power
 Division of the Company are expected to be satisfactory for the current
 year with higher availability of molasses and bagasse.
 
 The Company continues to be under the Corporate Debt Restructuring
 Scheme with respect to restructuring of its secured debts availed from
 Banks/Financial Institution.
