During the year under review, Your Company has maintained its excellent pace of growth reflected by the significant rise in Turnover, Net Profit, EBITA. The driving areas of the Company were Ship Recycling Unit which has achieved substantial increase in term of Turnover. The decrease in Profit in the Current financial year is due to non favorable exchange fluctuation in the last quarter of the accounting year.

DIVIDEND

Looking to future requirements of funds for business operations of the Company, the directors have not recommended any dividend for the Financial Year 2011-12

FUTURE PROSPECTUS

The business activity of Ship-breaking industry at Alang Ship Breaking Yard is likely to increase substantially in view of favorable availability of second hand ships and demand of ship-recycled material. However after October 2011 to till today there is drastic depreciation in Indian Rupee against Dollar, which will cause buying of ship costly and ultimately affect on Profit of our business.

Our Company is also optimistic that with the stabilization in price for the old ship in the international markets and in the sale price of recycled products in the domestic market, the Company will be able to improve the turnover and the profitability ratios in the coming years.
