2. DIVIDEND:
Due to the inappropriate market conditions and the financial crisis,
your company could barely maintain the level of revenue. The sale for
the year 2010-11 has dipped down drastically by 23.12%. In order to
honor the companies committed contracts to its esteemed customers it
had to sell with squeezed margins, leading to the fall in net profit
level. Considering of die lower earning of the company in the year the
Directors do not recommend any dividend for the year.
3. LISTING ON NSE& BSE:
The shares of your company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange
Limited (BSE Code: 523200) and the National Stock Exchange of India

4. BUSINESS PROSPECTS:
The year could not see a revival of business from the US sector, as
there were differences in opinion by the customer there. However, your
company now intends to penetrate this market all by itself starting
from the scratch, which would take couple of years to gear up.
Your company is now geared up for the production of the larger type of
diamonds, which would yield higher margins and a larger array of
products for the customers to suit their requirements. The only
constraint of this section of the business is that it involves huge
amounts on rough procurement. Once the financial position of your
company is eased out, this section could add better value to the
overall business.
In order to optimize the cost of operations your company intends to
shift its operations from the Opera House area of Mumbai to Bandra- The
Diamond Bourse in the near future.
We also plan to start up a factory in the SurSEZ situated at Sachin,
near Surat. This factory would be in a position to produce Diamonds as
well as jewellery for the newer markets.
5. FINANCE:
The company has been struggling in materializing its Debtors at a
faster pace due to the conflicts between the distribution arms
worldwide. The company has laid out policies of trying to gain better
credit terms from its creditors leading to a position which could end
up in repaying the bank finance to the extent of over Rs. 18.83 Crores

conditions.

The year could not see a good revival of business from the US sector,
with its Unemployment rates still worsening every quarter especially
during the last quarter of calendar 2009 where it had crossed the
double digit mark. Further to add fuel to the fire the Bullion prices
have sky rocketed to over USD 1220 in Dec 09 as against USD 900 levels
as of the beginning of the year. Hence, affecting the demand of
Jewellery from this sector. This has led your company to pierce through
other lucrative markets such as the Europe, Middle East and Far East.
Your company is now geared up for the production of the larger type of
diamonds, which would yield higher margins and a larger array of
products for the customers to suit their requirements. The only
constraint of this section of the business is that it involves huge
amounts on rough procurement. Once the financial position of your
company is eased out, this section could add better value to the
overall business.
In order to optimize the cost of operations your company intends to
shift its operations from the Opera House area of Mumbai to Bandra -
The Diamond Bourse within the next year.
We also plan to start up a factory in the SurSEZ situated at Sachin,

well as jewellery for the newer markets.
5. FINANCE:

faster pace and also laid out policies of trying to gain better credit
terms from its creditors leading to a position which could end up in
repaying the bank finance to the extent of over Rs.38 Crores in Rupee
terms. All this has improved the Credit rating of your company which
had deteriorated in the earlier year due to the given market
conditions.
6. DIRECTORS:
The Company has 6 (Mr.Hiren H. Shah & Mr. Chandrakant M. Bhansali
