 DIVIDEND
 
 In view of the turnaround performance of the Company, the Board of
 Directors recommend a Dividend of 6% on the Equity shares for the
 current financial year. This Dividend is subject to the approval of the
 Members at the Twenty third Annual General Meeting to be held on 17th
 August, 2011. The payment of dividend on shares will entail a cash
 outflow of Rs.153.12 lacs including dividend distribution tax.
 
 The Board of Directors at its meeting held on 26th October, 2010 has
 declared an interim dividend of 5% on the Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each
 and 11% on its 11% Convertible Non Cumulative Redeemable Preference
 Shares of Rs.100/- each.
 
 Thus the total outflow on account of dividend distribution would amount
 to Rs.216.64 lacs including total dividend distribution tax.
 
 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
 
 The current year has been one of the memorable years for Shreyas.
 During the year, your Company refocused its business model and could
 thereby build better revenues alongwith cost monitoring at all times.
 This has helped the Company to achieve a significant turnaround and
 emerge successfully.
 
 Shreyas has put up a commendable performance during the year.  Though
 Shreyas had posted a Net Loss of Rs.2,047.39 lacs, in the previous year.
 However during the current year, it has been able to make a Profit
 After Tax (PAT) of Rs.875.24 lacs. This clearly depicts a swing of
 Rs.2,922.63 lacs in the profits of the Company. This was possible due to
 the cost saving measures. Also the refocusing helped in building the
 top line.
 
 Shreyas presently operates on the West coast and the South coast.
 
 As regards, containerized logistics, Shreyas has through its wholly
 owned subsidiary, ventured into road transportation and warehousing. It
 is also venturing into rail movement. Shreyas is now moving towards a
 complete backward integration of its services thereby offering its
 clientele various value added services.  Shreyas has through its wholly
 owned subsidiary plans to acquire trailers (owned and leased) for its
 road transportation. The fleet of trailers acquired by the Company have
 GPS connectivity thereby providing real time information to clients. In
 addition to the above, the Company has through its wholly owned
 subsidiary also signed an agreement for Warehouse & Domestic cargo
 distribution center at Tuticorin and Mundra. With this, Shreyas is now
 moving closer towards establishing itself as a Lead Logistics Player in
 the Industry giving complete logistics solutions to our clients.

 SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
 
 In compliance with the provisions of Section 212 of the Companies Act,
 1956, the audited statement of accounts alongwith the Directors and
 Auditors report for the year ended 31st March, 2011 of Shreyas Relay
 Systems Ltd, the wholly owned subsidiary and Haytrans (India) Ltd, the
 subsidiary of the Company are annexed.
 
 DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
 
 Pursuant to the requirement under section 217(2AA) of the Companies
 Act, 1956, the Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge
 and belief, in respect of the year ended on 31st March, 2011;
 
 a) in the preparation of the annual accounts, the applicable accounting
 standards have been followed along with proper explanation relating to
 material departures;
 
 b) appropriate accounting policies have been selected and applied
 consistently, and such judgments and estimates have been made that are
 reasonable and prudent so as to give a true and fair view of the state
 of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2011 and of the profit of
 the Company for the year ended on 31st March, 2011;
 
 c) proper and sufficient care has been taken for the maintenance of
 adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the
 Companies Act, 1956, for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for
 preventing and detecting fraud and other irregularities; and
 
 d) the annual accounts have been prepared on a ‘going concern basis.
 
 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
 As required by Clause 49 of the Listing agreement entered into with the
 Stock Exchanges, a detailed Report on Corporate Governance is given as
 Annexure II to this Report alongwith the Auditors Certificate on its
 compliance by the Company (Annexure IV) and applicable certification of
 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Annexure III).
 
 AUDITORS
 
 M/s. PKF Sridhar & Santhanam, Chartered Accountants, retire at the
 conclusion of the 23rd Annual General Meeting and offer themselves for
 re-appointment. A Certificate from the Auditors has been received to
 the effect that their re-appointment, if made, would be within the
 limits prescribed under Section 224(1B) of the Companies Act, 1956.
 
 As regards the observation made in the Auditors report, your Directors
 wish to state that the interpretation of the Institute of Chartered
 Accountants of India is not found in the notification issued by the
 Government of India and hence has no legal sanction. Accounting
 Standard-16 covers capitalisation of interest in projects in respect of
 ‘qualifying assets and cannot be applied to all cases of capital
 expenditure. Such an interpretation by the Institute of Chartered
 Accountants of India has the effect of taking foreign exchange gains to
 the credit of capital expenditure but a major part of foreign exchange
 loss to interest expenditure, which cannot be the intention of the
 Government notification, which is to give relief to industries from
 violent negative fluctuations in foreign exchange. In our view the
 accounting treatment given by the Company is correct and helps reflect
 a true and fair view of profit of the year.
 
 COST AUDIT
 
 The Central Government has not recommended cost audit of the Company
 during the year under consideration.
