LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

DIRECTOR REPORT:

Despite the problems in the economy due to drought condition prevailing in 40% of the states the company has performed better as compared to previous years. The net sales have gone upto Rs. 135.930 millions in 2003-04 as against Rs. 85.036 millions in the previous years. However the company continues to make loss. The price realization has been on the lower side because of competition and market conditions.

 

The net loss was Rs. 9.893 millions (after depreciation and tax) in the financial year 2003-04 as against Rs. 17.931 millions in 2002-03. The accumulated losses stood at Rs. 139.075 millions as on 31.03.2004 as against Rs. 129.182 as on 31.03.2003

 

Future prospect

The management of the company has been endeavoring to bring the company out of problems and put it on track of positive surplus. It has been endeavoring to reduce the cost continuously. The board is hopeful that particularly due to better monsoon and expected higher level of performance of the agricultural economy, the company is expected to perform much better in the current financial years.
