OPERATION ANALYSIS

The financial year 2014-2015 was a challenging year for the Company. During the year under review the Company achieved gross sales of Rs. 38.37 crores as against Rs. 36.72 crores in the previous year showing an increase of 4.5%.

The Company's profitability was adversely affected due to steep increase in the prices of raw materials and increased competition in seafood industry. The availability of sea caught raw material is so poor which is an important part of your Company's production.

The machineries of the Company were around 21 year old and almost obsolete. The freezing capacity of flow freezer has gone down by 50% of actual capacity. So we were not able to produce even 3 tons per day which was 5-6 tons per day before. Consequently the number of containers exported reduced gradually to 45-50 per year compared to 100-108 containers at the earlier periods.

Due to the above reasons as a part of capacity expansion plan the management has decided to purchase an advanced cooking and freezing line and during the end of the financial year the machine worth of Rs. 3 Crores was installed and successfully commissioned at the factory. The new machine has the capacity to process big size value added shrimps which can enhance the competitiveness of the company. New machine is suitable to process cultured shrimps as an alternate source of raw material. With the installation of new machineries having a production capacity of 1000 Kg per hour the Company is expecting a significant increase in the production capacity and export turnover.

Your Company is confident that it will be able to establish its name in the market in the years to come with the growing demand for Indian seafood products across the world and the expanded production capacity of the Company.

Due to the inadequacy of profits your directors regret their inability to recommend any dividend for the year.

OPERATION ANALYSIS

During the year under review the Company achieved gross sales of Rs. 36.72 crores in 2013-14 as against Rs. 29.09 crores in the previous year inspite of the challenging industrial scenario in the country showing an increase of 26%.

The Company''s profitability was adversely affected due to steep increase in the prices of raw materials and increased competition in seafood industry. Sea caught raw material availability is so poor and our Company is not able to procure even 20% of the material required to run the factory. So the Company has to depend up on cultured (farmed) shrimps from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to meet the market demand which involve more transportation cost and material cost. Our machines are so obsolete to produce value added products and yield is 10% less than the yields produced by the present sophisticated machines available in the market, so we face difficulties in competing with other seafood Companies which are using advanced technology for production.

The immediate need of the Company is to go for new production line to cope up with the present market scenario. Our Company management has decided to buy new sophisticated machines and ordered the same and expected to be installed by the end of this December.

Your Company is confident that it will be able to establish its name in the market in the years to come with the growing demand for Indian seafood products across the world.
