Restaurant at Midway Behror, where sales were grossly affected due to
construction of a Fly Over bridge, right in front of the restaurant.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW
The Directors are pleased to report that despite stiff competition,
company has been able to improve its net sales revenue over the last
year. However, gross profits of the company has declined due to
substantial increase in prices of packing material and transportation,
which could not be passed on to the market due to competitive
conditions. Other reasons for decline in profits are attributed to
higher provision of depreciation and increase in interest liability.
Directors are, however, hopeful of better working results during the
current financial year.
We are also happy to report that our diversification into hospitality
sector has started bearing fruits and we have been able to commission
both our high profile heritage restaurants at The Amber Fort, Jaipur
and The Hanumant Mahal, Umaid Bhawan Hill, Jodhpur during the year. The
ambience and decor at both the restau- rants is world class and has
been widely appreciated by discerning Indian and Foreign tourists which
should further boost the image and profitability of your company in due
course. Other two restaurants of the company at Jaipur and Midway on
Delhi-Jaipur Highway are giving satisfactory results.
