 REVIEW OF OPERATION:
 
 Due to scarcity of raw material Viz. coking coal the price has
 increased to nearly 24 % over the price prevailed during the previous
 year. But the selling price of Coke was almost static during the year
 2011.2012 as the demand for the end product Viz. Lam Coke has came down
 during this year due to the crisis in mines in Karnataka and elsewhere
 have impacted the steel and foundry industries which are the major
 consumer of Coke, Therefore the scarcity and increase in price of raw
 material coupled with non-improvement of selling price , rendered the
 production operation uneconomical and hence the production was stopped
 from November,2011.  However during the year under review, the company
 registered an increased turnover of Rs. 36.70 Crores as against Rs.
 29.51 Crores in the previous year, through higher level of trading
 activity. In view of the reasons stated above the company has incurred
 a huge loss of Rs.413 lakhs.
 
 FUTURE PROSPECTS:
 
 As the crisis in mining seems to be resolved it is expected that there
 will be improvement in steel and foundry industry operations which may
 bring in more demand for Coke. However if the price of raw material and
 availability improves, .the company would resume production in the
 coming year.
