========== ==========
We are pleased to inform you that your Company produced 80,720 M.Tons of sugar during the year under review
as compared to 42,455 M. Tons during the preceding year 1996-97. An increase of production of Sugar of 90%
as compared to previous year but these achievements were unproductive because the sugar industry remained
under a constant pressure during the year under review as a result of carry over stock of 400,000 M. Tons of
Sugar in the country. The surplus of sugar were created due to sugar imports much in excess of country
requirements in 1996-97. The combined effect of bumper sugar cane crop in 1997-98 and huge carry over
sugar stock created glut in local sugar sales market. Furthermore the Government increased the sugarcane
support price from Rs. 24.00 per 40 K.g. to Rs. 35.00 per 40 K.g. thereby creating the major impact of 46%
increase in sugar cane price resulted increase in cost of sugar production.
The Government allowed export rebate on the export of sugar keeping in view of the depressed sugar prices in
international market. This permission was granted only after half the crushing season was over. For the Sugar
Mills situated in Punjab, the only viable market was India. Trade is allowed with India only through Wahga
Border or Via Sea. Due to Logistic constraints limited quantity of Railway Wagons were available. In spite of
these limitations your company exported Sugar 13,799 M. Tons during the financial year 1997-98.
SEASON 1998-99 REVIEW
This year crushing by the sugar mills was generally delayed by 8 to 10 days for the purpose of achieving healthy
maturing of sugar cane together with higher recovery of sugar. Another purpose of delaying the crusing season
was to take off load of huge sugar stock of 1997-98 season.
Your Mill started crushing from November 25, 1998 and till March 31,1999 crushed sugar cane 832,000 M. Tons
and produced 61,470 M.Tons of Sugar at an average recovery of 7.45%. In the current crushing season better
operating results are expected. The Government has allowed the export of sugar which will have better effect
on local sugar sales market by achieving the higher average sugar sale price. Similarly the Government has
allowed 5% price reduction of sugar cane and increased rate of TPT to be deducted from cane growers. This will
have the effect of average price reduction of sugar cane. Although the quality of sugar cane is weak but the
sugar mills are expected better financial results due to the above-mentioned facts.
THE PROSPECTS FOR THE CRUSHING SEASON 1999-2000
For the forthcoming sugar cane crushing season bumper sugar cane crop is expected as the support price of
sugar cane is stable @ Rs. 35 per 40 K.g. is still viable for the cane growers, also a better local sugar sales
market is expected and mainly depends upon sugar stock piled up before the start of crushing season.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM

compliant to Y2K requirements.
