OPERATIONAL REVIEW

The Directors are pleased to report that despite stiff competition, company has been able to improve its net sales revenue over the last year. However, gross profits of the company has declined due to substantial increase in prices of packing material and transportation, which could not be passed on to the market due to competitive conditions. Other reasons for decline in profits are attributed to higher provision of depreciation and increase in interest liability. Directors are, however, hopeful of better working results during the current financial year.

We are also happy to report that our diversification into hospitality sector has started bearing fruits and we have been able to commission both our high profile heritage restaurants at The Amber Fort, Jaipur and The Hanumant Mahal, Umaid Bhawan Hill, Jodhpur during the year. The ambience and decor at both the restau- rants is world class and has been widely appreciated by discerning Indian and Foreign tourists which should further boost the image and profitability of your company in due course. Other two restaurants of the company at Jaipur and Midway on Delhi-Jaipur Highway are giving satisfactory results.
