During the year under review the company continued its business activities and sales for the year ended 31st March 2013 was of Rs. 125,38,000. Because of recession and slow down in the business forced the company to slowdown its expansion plan.

As reported in previous year as well, continuous technological upgrading and assimilation of latest technology has been going on in the cement industry. The market environment continues to be very competitive where the company has faced intense competition from other players, the outlook for the industry does not appear to be very encouraging. The Company has also been exploring new business opportunities for improving its financial performance.

The Working capital requirement and new market forced the company to adequately adjust the outputs. The Company tried its best to be debt free.

As was reported during previous year, lease of the factory land & building had expired in earlier year and despite company''s best efforts, the same could not be renewed for further period and therefore the company is arranging for vacating the leased factory land & building as per the terms of lease agreement. The company continues to carry on its activities in a modest way from this site and is actively searching for alternative site for its operations.
