BUSINESS REVIEW

Your Company has achieved the same revenues close to the previous year amounting to Rs.. 21383 Lakhs as against Rs.. 21361 Lakhs in previous year in-spite of the severe power shortage. As you are aware your Company has passed through tough times during the year due to power shortage and has been able to overcome by supplementing through internal generation coupled with sourcing, of power from expensive power purchase scheme envisaged by AP Transco. These efforts have enabled the Company to operate the optimum level of capacities without any interruption. However, the Profit before tax decreased from Rs..402 Lakhs in previous year to Rs.257 Lakhs mainly due to increase in Power costs by Rs.. 170 Lakhs. During the year under review the management has continued its focus on optimizing the utilization of resources and production capacities as well as on the value addition products like PVDC, Metalized & Pearlized products. Your Company envisages significant increase in revenues from both the existing and new products from next year for all the efforts that have been put in the last two years.
