 sugarcane and produced 20.47 lacs quintals of Sugar (including raw
 sugar processed) at an average recovery rate of 9.38% as compared to
 252.51 lacs quintals of sugarcane crushed and 24.34 lacs quintals of

 1246.47 lacs KWH units of power in the year 2009-10. Out of total
 production, your company exported 519.26 lacs KWH units to UPPCL/UPCL

 DIVIDEND
 
 In the absence of profits during the current financial year, your
 Directors are unable to recommend any dividend for the period under
 review.
 
 SUGAR SCENARIO
 
 During Sugar Season 2010-11, sugarcane supply increased on account of
 expansion of cane acreage by more than 20% owing to government''s
 favourable pricing policies by way of upward revision in both State
 Advised Price (SAP) as well as Fair & Remunerative Price (FRP). In
 Sugar Season 2009-10, on account of short supply of cane, mill owners
 generally paid premium ranging about Rs. 85-100/quintal over SAP of
 about Rs. 165/ quintal; however, in Sugar Season 2010-11, on the back
 of increased sugarcane supply, the mill owners have been paying as per
 SAP ranging about Rs. 205-210/quintal.
 
 The sugar price recovered during the quarter ending December, 2010 to
 about Rs. 28- 29/Kg from a low of Rs. 25/Kg in August, 2010 due to the
 improved demand scenario on account of festive season along-with
 various government measures
 
 like reinstating levy sugar quota back to the earlier level of 10%
 (from 20%) and reproduction of monthly release system from fortnightly
 system. Despite increase in sugar production, the price is expected to
 be steady around Rs. 28-29/Kg level in the next two quarters on the
 back of stable stock position.
 
 On the export front, delay in notification of exports, allowed by the
 government aggregating 5 lakh tonne, and allowance of further exports
 may lead to sugar exports becoming an unattractive proposition to the
 domestic sugar mills fetching them only marginal profits due to
 softening of global prices on the back of expected arrival of sugar
 supply from Brazil in the international market.
