STATE OF COMPANY'S AFFAIRS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK :

The Company passed through a critical phase during the year under review in view of recession in the global economy, which resulted in steep fall in edible oil and cotton linter international market prices, especially in U.S.A and China.

Bi-furcation of united Andhra Pradesh into two states i.e Telangana and Andhra Pradesh caused an additional burden of interstate Sales Tax on the goods brought from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh ginners and in turn they passed on proportionate burden even on cotton seeds also. Further, the Government of India announced higher minimum support price for cotton procurement which caused substantial increase in cotton seed prices. Due to carried over accumulated stocks, hike in raw material prices, the interest cost is higher when it is compared to that of previous year.

In spite of various adverse factors, the Company in the year under review processed 70437.741 MT of cotton seed as against 64,324 MT in the previous year.

PERFORMANCE

Your Directors are pleased to inform that the company performed well in the year under view with 44% increase in turnover by processing 70,059 MT of cotton seed as against 54,187 MT in the previous year.

This impressive performance could be achieved with better and optimal use of plant and machinery which is being updated year after year on regular basis imparting better technologies.

Though there is more scope for further improving capacity utilisation, in view of higher raw material prices and intense competition from other states, procurement could not be made in higher volumes. Due to huge volume of carried over accumulated stocks, hike in raw material prices, the interest cost is higher when it is compared to that of the previous year. However, the improved performance resulted in healthier bottom line with net profit before tax of Rs. 210.61 lakhs as against Rs. 62.85 lakhs in the previous year.

EXPORT AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS

Your Directors wish to inform that the Company has exported 2,861.206 M.T of Cotton Linters worth Rs. 499.01 lakhs during the year under review as against 1.727.181 M.T. worth Rs. 531.23 lakhs in the previous year.

PERFORMANCE

The Company had passed through a critical phase during the period under review because of the recession in the International Economy and liberal oil import policy of Government of India. The low operating margins arc due to poor recovery of oils because of the cotton crop failure resulted damage to Cottonseed due to draught conditions prevailed in the cotton growing area, steep fall in prices of edible oils in both domestic and international markets and huge interest burden on carry over stocks.

Further, the Government of India announced higher Minimum Support Price which caused substantial increase in Cottonseed prices. During the season, due to hike in raw material prices and lower price realization for final products, the Company decided to hold the production for a while to curtail huge losses. Hence the production and processing volume of Cottonseed came down to 50,441 MT from 53,972 MT as compared to the previous year.

The entire edible oil Industry in India is facing serious crisis due to the reasons mentioned above and hence your Directors decided to install some of the removed Delintcrs again to process only upto Delinted Seed as the market for the same was better. In spite of lower production, the Company fared well and earned Rs. 151.21 lakhs as net profit before tax when compared to that of Rs. 105.06 lakhs in the previous year.

Your Directors are pleased to inform that the Company has received an Award from All India Cottonseed Crushers Association for being the "Second Highest Exporter of Cotton Linters" for the year 2008-2009.

FIXED DEPOSITS

Your Company has not accepted any Fixed Deposits from the Public, except some Unsecured Loans brought by Promoter Directors and as such no amount on account of principal or interest on public deposits was outstanding as on the date of Balance Sheet.

EXPORT AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS

Your Directors wish to inform that the Company has exported 5045.208 M.T. of Cotton Linters worth Rs 1336.69 lakhs during the year under review as against 1,084.817 M.T. worth Rs.342.31 lakhs in the previous year.

PROSPECTS

As the prices yielded to cotton growers highly remunerative and yields are also better to the growers during the previous crop year, the acreage under cotton cultivation is likely to increase and thereby the availability of cotton seed may also be substantial and it certainly ensures the Company to increase production capacities more in the ensuing season.
