REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

The Company's manufacturing activity of granite products in its 100 % Export Oriented Unit (EOU) at Tumakuru had to be kept at its lower level due to continued unfavourable trading condition for granite products in the export market. The company, however undertook other activities such as trading, transportation, investments, short term lending of surplus fund etc. During the current financial year total revenue of the company increased to Rs.820.49 lacs from Rs.684.54 lacs as in previous year. The above increase was mainly caused by clearance of old finished stock of the company at cost or at very marginal profit. Since the plant facilities mostly remain inoperative during the year, for reasonably long period and due to technological obsolescence it would be prudent to dispose of this facility in future and diversify its activities.

PROSPECT:

The company continues to make effort to diversify its activities. Towards this end the company is exploring the viability of a plant of cement moulded product, mainly electric poles to be manufactured and supplied in Uttar Pradesh or Bihar.
