The dividend payout is subject to approval of the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

TRANSFER TO RESERVE :

The Directors propose to transfer a sum of Rs, 10,00,000/- to General Reserve for the year ended 31st March, 2016. OPERATIONS AND STATE OF COMPANY''S AFFAIRS :

The Company''s Revenue from operations has increased from Rs, 2748.68 lacs in 2014-15 to Rs, 3542.82 lacs in 2015-16. Sale of Beverages has increased from Rs, 2415.30 lacs in 2014-15 to Rs, 3334.69 lacs in 2015-16, showing an increase of 38%. Profit after tax for 2015-16 is Rs, 163.54 lacs against Rs, 19.13 lacs in 2014-15. There was an effect of re-statement of the Financial Statement of the Company for the financial year 2012-13 on the profit of the Company for the financial year 2014-15 amounting to Rs, 117 lacs in respect of certain Auditors'' qualifications as per instructions received from M/s. BSE Ltd. During the year under review, corresponding increase in the profit with the increase in sales could not be achieved due to decrease in the rental income of the Company pursuant to expiry of leasehold rights in a property, increased finance cost for putting up a new plant and increased cost of manpower. The results of full working of new plant will be reflected in the current year only. Hence profit for the year has not increased in proportion to increase in sales.

The Company had started trading of an energy drink "Bisleri Urzza" in the financial 2014-15 and was in the process of putting up a new plant at Sankrail, Howrah, West Bengal for the manufacture of said "Bisleri Urzza". However the market response for the said energy drink "Bisleri Urzza" was not up to the expectations of the Company. In the meantime M/s Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. has launched some new soft drink products namely (I) SPYCI, (II) FONZO, (III) LIMONATA and (IV) PINACOLADA. The Company has decided not to go for manufacturing energy drink "Bisleri Urzza" and in lieu of that to go for manufacturing new soft drink products launched by M/s Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. at its said new plant. Accordingly the Company as franchisee of M/s Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. has commenced commercial production of said soft drinks at its new plant at Sankrail, Howrah, West Bengal with effect from 24th February, 2016. During the year under review, the new plant was operational for a part of the year and results of full working of the new plant as well as new products will be reflected in the current year only.

Leasehold rights of the Company in a property situated at 50, Chowringhee Road, Kolkata has expired on 30th September, 2015 as per terms of lease and the Company has handed over the property to the landlord or their nominee(s), as a result rental income of the Company for the year under review has decreased. Real Estate Business is stable as in earlier years. Renewal of tenancy of one tenant is due with effect from 01.09.2012 and the Company expects a good increase in its rental income from the said renewal. With the present Real Estate activities, the Directors hope for a better year ahead in the current year, subject to stable market conditions.
