(a) Right to Participate in an Overseas Company
Offering. If the Company proposes to undertake
an offering/ listing of its Shares on any stock
exchange other than an Indian Stock Exchange
(Overseas Company Offering), the Company shall
give notice to IFC promptly of its intention to do so,
specifying the other material terms of such
proposed Overseas Company Offering. Upon the
request of IFC delivered to the Company within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Companys
notice, the Company shall include in such Overseas
Company Offering all of the offer securities
specified by IFC in a request delivered to the
Company within twenty (20) days after the date
of the Companys notice.
(b) Trading. If the Company lists its Shares on any
securities exchange or other trading market (other
than an Indian Stock Exchange), the Company shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to list
all Shares, or Shares issued or issuable in respect
of Shares owned by IFC, such that such Shares
will be freely tradable by IFC on such market. For
avoidance of doubt it is clarified that if consequent

listed and tradable on such stock exchange, then
this Article 190C(b) shall not be applicable.
(c) Cut-backs. If an Overseas Company Offering
(as referred to in Article 190C(a)) is an
underwritten offering, and the managing
underwriter advises the Company that, in its
opinion, the number of Shares and/or securities
proposed to be included in such Company Offering
should be limited due to market conditions, then the
Company shall so advise IFC, and the number of
Shares and/or securities to be included in such
Company Offering shall be allocated (i) first, to the
Company for securities being sold for its own
account, (ii) second, to IFC, and (iii) finally, to other
Selling Shareholders of such Shares or securities,
if any.
Notwithstanding any such limitation, if the Company
lists its Shares on any non-Indian securities

Expenses incurred in connection with each

190C(a)), including but not limited to any costs

participation or proposed participation in any such
offering (other than customary underwriter
discounts).

Company Offering (as referred to in Article
190C(a)) involves an underwritten offering, and
IFC has elected to participate in such offering, IFC
shall sell the Offer Securities to be included in such
offering to the underwriters selected by the
Company on the same terms and conditions as

However, IFC shall not be required to make any
representation or warranty to any Person in
connection with such offering except (i) that it has
good title to and that there are no material Liens on
the Offer Securities or other securities, as the case
may be, to be sold by IFC, and (ii) its authority to

such offering and such other disclosures as may
be required under Applicable Law. If any
registration statement in connection with any
Company Offering refers to IFC by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the
Company, then IFC shall have the right to require (i)
the insertion therein of language, in form and
substance satisfactory to IFC to the effect that the
holding by it of such securities is not to be
construed as a recommendation by it of the
investment quality of the Companys securities
covered thereby and that such holding does not
imply that IFC will assist in meeting any future
financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the
event that such reference to IFC by name or
otherwise is not required by the applicable
securities laws, the deletion of the reference to
IFC.
(f) Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law,

proceedings or settlements in respect thereof)
arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any prospectus,
offering circular, or other offering document, (ii)
any failure to state therein a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, and
(iii) any violation of Applicable Law (including but
not limited to, securities laws and exchange
requirements applicable to such Company
Offering); provided, that the Company shall not be
liable under this Article to the extent that any such
loss, claim or liability is based on any written
statement furnished by IFC to the Company
expressly for inclusion in such offering document.
(g) IFC Not a Promoter. IFC shall not be deemed to
be a promoter of the Company and the Shares
held by IFC shall not be subject to any statutory or
regulatory moratorium imposed on promoter
shareholdings, nor shall any declaration or
statement be made, either directly or indirectly, in
filings with any Authority, offer documents or

and forms part of this report.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS


The dairy industry in India is growing at a rapid pace.
With India maintaining its status as the largest producer
of milk in the World and annual growth rate of 3-4%, the
dairy industry in India is poised for major development.
Of the total milk produced in the country it is estimated
that only 18% to 20% is processed by the organized
sector. The remaining balance milk is consumed through
unorganized channels. With the growth of organized
sector which is providing regular and remunerative market
to the producer, this share is expected to go up at a fast
rate. This will ensure a regular availability of raw material
to the industry.

DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
Pursuant to Section 217(2AA) of the Companies
Act,1956,your Directors confirm that:
(i) In the preparation of the annual accounts for the
financial year ended 31st March, 2008, the
applicable accounting standards have been
followed and that there were no material
departures.
(ii) The accounting policies selected by them have
been applied consistently, and they have made
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent so as to give a true and fair view of the
state of the Company as on 31st March 2008 and
profit of the Company for the year ended 31st
March 2008.
(iii) They have taken proper and sufficient care for the
maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956 for safeguarding the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities.
(iv) The annual accounts have been prepared on a
going concern basis.

Globally, the demand for nutritional products is growing


and a great potential is available for the growing dairy
industry in India to meet this demand. Your Company has
already undertaken Expansion and Diversification project
for production of value added products like Edible Grade
Casein, Whey Protein Concentrates and Edible Grade
Lactose / Pharma Grade Lactose etc.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
The world milk production is growing at the rate of
about 1.5% where as the demand for milk products are
growing at about 2.4%. This difference in demand and
supply is likely to be available to India which is growing
at 3.5 - 4%. The prices of milk in the developed countries
are going up due to phasing out of subsidies and this
provides a competitive edge to Indian producers in the
International Market. With the current growth rate of
milk production, India is going to be a major force in the
Global Trade of dairy products in the International Market.
The Indian Milk Industry is still facing technical barriers to
trade like restriction on exports of Edible Grade Dairy
Products from India into the European nations. There
are other countries too like Russia, Mexico, Malaysia,
Brazil, where Indian products can not be exported due
to non availability of Mutual Trade Agreement between
India and respective Governments.

APPRECIATION
Your Directors wish to place on record their sincere
appreciation to International Finance CorporationWashington, DC - USA for the confidence reposed by
them in the Company and also to the Companys bankers
and all business associates of the Company for their
continued support.
