 During the year under review, your Company achieved the gross turnover
 of Rs.1480.86 million as against Rs.2100.90 million in the previous
 year. The turnover for the current year was lower than the previous
 year, since the income from coal trading activity was considered on net

 increased to Rs.1404.42 million from Rs.1179.88 million in the previous

 million as against Rs.173.61 million for the previous year. The Profit

 organization and also due to inadequacy of profits, your Directors are
 unable to recommend any Dividend on the Equity Capital of the Company.
 
 INCREASE IN CAPITAL:
 
 During the year, the Company has increased its Authorised Capital from
 Rs.900 million to Rs.1500 million, after obtaining the consent of the

 etc., up to US$ 100 Million.

 (Rs. 1,025 million) and issued 3,650,000 GDRs to the investors @ US$

 SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:
 
 During the year under review, the performance of the subsidiaries viz.,
 Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Limited, South Asian Agro Industries
 Limited, M.S.M. Energy Limited and Sri Panchajanya Power Private
 Limited, which operate biomass based power plants at Chhattisgarh and
 Maharashtra has been severely affected due to non-availability of
 quality raw material at reasonable rates. The prices of biomass like
 rice husk, cotton stalk etc., have been steeply rising thereby
 resulting into high cost of production.
 
 As a long term strategy, the group has proposed to enter into buy-back
 agreements with some companies in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, which
 will endeavor to continuous supply of Napier grass catering to about
 50% of total requirement of the plants. The cost of Napier grass is
 much cheaper than other conventional biomass raw material, besides
 having higher Gross Calorific Value (GCV). The Napier grass supplying
 companies have finalized the land required for taking on lease /
 contract farming for energy plantation in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.
 With this continuous feed supply at competitive price, the subsidiaries
 are expected to improve their performance in the forthcoming years.
 
 1) Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Limited:
 
 During the year, the 9.8 MW plant at Madwa village, Champa–Janjgir
 District, Chhattisgarh had generated 33.166 million units achieving a
 PLF of 38.63%. The generation was low due to the scarcity of quality
 biomass fuel. As most of the paddy is grown as single crop, husk was
 available for 6 to 7 months of the year. Further, the evacuation line
 at 33 KV was connected to grid at about 20 KM from the plant. Because
 of the long transmission line, the plant operation was effected due to
 line faults during rainy season. The transmission line losses were
 approximately 5% of the generation.
 
 During the year under review, the Company had earned an amount of
 Rs.28.52 million from 42950 CERS for the period from October 2008 to
 December 2009 and Rs.20.99 million from 31604 CERs for the period from
 January 2010 to March 2011.
 
 2) South Asian Agro Industries Limited:
 
 During the year, the 9.8 MW plant at Khajuri village, Baloda Bazar,
 Raipur District, Chhattisgarh has generated 22.28 million units and
 achieved a PLF of 25.96%. The plant faced the problem of fuel shortage
 during rainy season as the rice husk is the main biomass fuel which is
 available only during milling season lasting for 4 to 5 months in a
 year since paddy is grown as a single crop in major cultivation
 acreage.
 
 During the year under review, the Company had earned an amount of
 Rs.21.16 million from 31861 CERS for the period from January 2009 to
 December 2009 and Rs.15.29 million from 23031 CERs for the period from
 January 2010 to March 2011.
 
 3) M.S.M. Energy Limited:
 
 The 10 MW biomass based power plant at Parbhani, Maharashtra was
 commissioned and synchronized with the grid of MSEDCL on 15th November,
 2010. Total generation during the year was 5.23 million units. The
 generation was low during the year due to scarcity and high price of
 quality biomass fuel. Frequent grid interruptions have also contributed
 for low generation.
 
 Another 10 MW plant is under construction at Kholapur Village, Amravati
 District, Maharashtra. The plant is expected to commence operations
 during the year 2011-12.
 
 4) Sri Panchajanya Power Private Limited:
 
 The 10 MW power plant at Limbala MIDC, Hingoli, Maharashtra was
 commissioned and synchronized with the grid of MSEDCL on 5th September,
 2010. During the year, the total generation of the plant was 9.94
 million units. The generation was low during the year due to scarcity
 of quality biomass fuel and high price. Frequent grid interruptions
 have also contributed for low generation.
 
 The application for CDM Registration filed with United Nations
 Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) for CERs got
 registration on 13th January, 2011 and date of Registration action was
 4th April, 2011. Crediting period is 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2018.
 
 Other subsidiaries:
 
 Your company had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Govt. of
 Chhattisgarh in February 2008 and subsequently executed the

 (Chhattisgarh) Private Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of your company
 for a consideration of Rs.356.40 million being the carrying value of
 the assets in the project during the last quarter of the year.
 
 In January 2011, your company has incorporated a wholly owned
 subsidiary viz., Suryachakra Global Venture Limited in Hong Kong to
 pursue the activities of investment in coal mine and coal trading etc.
 During the year, the Company had purchased 30,000 shares of Suryachakra
 Power Venture Private Limited from it promoters to make it a subsidiary

 with the Andaman & Nicobar Administration (A&N Administration) they
 were unable to comment on the extent of ultimate recoverability of the
 amounts due from the A&N Administration.

 sundry debtors balance is overstated by the subsidiaries, pending

 Board Explanation
 
 Adequate disclosure was made in Note 3 of Schedule 21 (Notes to the
 Accounts) in this regard. The Company has taken up the matter with the
 Andaman & Nicobar Administration and believes that the amounts billed
 including interest thereon are recoverable based on the interpretation
 that can be inferred from the formulae contained in the PPA.
 
 After continuous and unstinted efforts, the A & N Administration has
 agreed to pay monthly tariff invoices from April 2011 on the
 provisional completed cost of the project of Rs. 75.60 crores instead
 of the earlier provisional completed cost of Rs. 63.14 crores. The
 company is hopeful of getting further increase in this.
 
 The delay was due to the tight liquidity conditions faced by the
 Company and steps would be taken by the management to ensure
 non-recurrence of such events.
 
 The adequate internal audit team is already in place. However, the team
 will be further strengthened suitably.
 
 The subsidiaries viz., Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Ltd., and South
 Asian Agro Industries Ltd., have recognized the income from sale of
 CERs during the year.The Project Design Documents (PDDs) were prepared
