During the year under review the Company achieved gross sales of Rs.

seafood industry. The availability of sea caught raw material is so
poor which is an important part of your Company's production.
The machineries of the Company were around 21 year old and almost
obsolete. The freezing capacity of flow freezer has gone down by 50% of
actual capacity. So we were not able to produce even 3 tons per day
which was 5-6 tons per day before. Consequently the number of
containers exported reduced gradually to 45-50 per year compared to
100-108 containers at the earlier periods.
Due to the above reasons as a part of capacity expansion plan the
management has decided to purchase an advanced cooking and freezing
line and during the end of the financial year the machine worth of Rs.
3 Crores was installed and successfully commissioned at the factory.
The new machine has the capacity to process big size value added
shrimps which can enhance the competitiveness of the company. New
machine is suitable to process cultured shrimps as an alternate source
of raw material. With the installation of new machineries having a
production capacity of 1000 Kg per hour the Company is expecting a
significant increase in the production capacity and export turnover.
Your Company is confident that it will be able to establish its name in
the market in the years to come with the growing demand for Indian
seafood products across the world and the expanded production capacity
of the Company.

OPERATION ANALYSIS
During the year under review the Company achieved gross sales of Rs.
36.72 crores in 2013-14 as against Rs. 29.09 crores in the previous
year inspite of the challenging industrial scenario in the country
showing an increase of 26%.
The Company''s profitability was adversely affected due to steep
increase in the prices of raw materials and increased competition in
seafood industry. Sea caught raw material availability is so poor and
our Company is not able to procure even 20% of the material required to
run the factory. So the Company has to depend up on cultured (farmed)
shrimps from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to meet the market demand
which involve more transportation cost and material cost. Our machines
are so obsolete to produce value added products and yield is 10% less
than the yields produced by the present sophisticated machines
available in the market, so we face difficulties in competing with
other seafood Companies which are using advanced technology for
production.
The immediate need of the Company is to go for new production line to
cope up with the present market scenario. Our Company management has
decided to buy new sophisticated machines and ordered the same and
expected to be installed by the end of this December.
Your Company is confident that it will be able to establish its name in
the market in the years to come with the growing demand for Indian
seafood products across the world.
