During the year under review the sales and other income has declined to
at Rs.2879.94 Lacs as against Rs. 3109.78 Lacs in the previous year.
The decline was mainly due to overall week domestic economy, pressure
on selling prizes due to recession, shifting of customers'' interest
towards low cost products, unhealthy competition from unorganized
sector etc. However the export sales during the year have doubled to
Rs. 683.04 Lacs as against Rs. 337.36 Lacs in the year 2012-2013.
3. OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
In spite of decrease in sales the profit before interest and
