PLANS AND PROSPECTS

Fruit Product Division

Performance during the year was marked by growth owing to a renewed thrust in marketing and focus on expansion and reach. However, sharp increase in prices remains a concern.

Several new products are on the anvil such as a wider range of fruit drinks and juices and improved varieties of ketchups, with improved packaging.

Future plans revolve around increased promotional activities, broad basing distribution network, upgrading the quality of existing products to suit today's health conscious customer.

Industrial Division

On the Industrial front the demand for Carbide remained constant while the demand for Charcoal increased.

Performance was affected due to frequent plant shutdowns and frequent shut downs in the production of Silico-Manganese in Bhutan.

Your Company is looking at developing additional supply sources and setting up more screening and sizing facilities.

Retail Division

Contrary to the negative trends prevailing in the retail sector, C3's performance exceeded all expectations. Sales projections given at the beginning of the year were overshot significantly.

In the light of the current market scenario, the way forward for C3 is consolidation of its gains by deepening its variant range on offer to customers.

PLANS AND PROSPECTS

Fruit Product Division

Performance during the year was steady. New products such as Red Cherry and Jeera Concentrate were introduced during the year which found a decent acceptance in the market.

Future plans revolve around introducing new products and products such as canned fruit drinks, juices in 200 ml pet bottles, tomato ketchup in sachets, sweet mango chutneys, to name a few, are on the anvil.

Your Company is seeking to increase the turnover by broad- basing the distribution network and improving the quality of the existing products. The prospects are good and we expect to achieve higher sales volumes.

Industrial Division

The performance in this segment has been more or less encouraging during the period under review.

Despite price fluctuations and competition faced from imported products and other players in the field, there has been a steady demand for our products. Continuous supply of materials for meeting delivery targets is being ensured by procuring from primary suppliers.

Efforts are on to increase our sales in the Northern and Eastern India through our dealer network and tie ups with Dissolved Acetylene plants.

Retail Division

The last quarter of 2010-2011 has seen a very significant improvement in all parameters of retailing and this momentum needs to be sustained. Though this upward trend has been strengthening steadily since then, the fact that the first half of the year under review continued on a sluggish note, made the overall improvement for the 12 months of 2010-2011 moderate when compared to 2009-2010.

The format of retailing has also undergone a paradigm shift towards much bigger format outlets and, therefore, our ability to harness economies of purchase, display agreements and other 'non sales' revenue opportunities has been acutely impaired.

A decision, therefore, was taken by your Directors and your consent was obtained by means of postal ballot, to hive off the Retail division of C3 into a subsidiary company to enable its growth and development in a focused manner. Steps are being taken towards that end.

DIVIDEND

Your Directors express their inability to recommend dividend for the year to plough back profits for conserving funds for the operations of the Company.

APPROVAL UNDER SECTION 211(4) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 1956

In terms of the Notification No. S. O. 301 (E) dated 8th February, 2011 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company has been exempted from disclosing the quantitative information as envisaged in paragraph 3(ii) (b) of part II of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956.

PLANS AND PROSPECTS
