which averages @ 40 % p.a. The Company has also a good record of Bonus
issue. The last Bonus Issue ‘was made in September, 2000.

The Company feels that due to the conspiracy hatched by its competitors with
the help of widespread network of distributors, the Company’s products were
shown to have been contaminated and it was also widely shown on the media
that under the wrappers of many of their chocolates and ice creams, there was
a layer of fungus and decayed dry fruits. The snaps and live interview of the
consumers complaining about the inferior quality and “totally unsafe for human
consumption” shouts, drastically brought down the sale in the last quarter of the
Financial Year 2003—04.

The Directors immediately undertook damage controlling steps and through

wide scale advertisement campaign tried to restore the public confidence.
However the current years performance is very much lower than the earlier
years and any prudent financial consultant would not recommend dividend more
than 20% this year.

The Directors are of the opinion that the sale would again pick up from the
second quarter of the next year and there will be a complete normally
thereafter.
