Dear Shareholder,

May I take pleasure of wishing all the best to your family !

Your company ,Gujarat Ambuja Exports Limited , has continued to do exceedingly well and I am sure you must be quite happy to be a co-owner of Gujart Ambuja Exports Ltd..

The Year 2004-05 was the year of consolidating further ,where we could see higher turnover at Rs.1128 Crores, higher Cash Profit at Rs. 54.56 Crores and higher Net profit at Rs. 26.94 Crores. You must have also seen that our company has capitalized assets of almost Rs. 50 Crores , all through internal accruals, during the year under consideration.

For the issue , which matter you most , you must be happy to note that the dividend payout has also increased to Rs.1.10 per share and the market price of our equity shares have witnessed 100% increase in the last one year.

Even for the 2005-06, which has begun with a quit optimistic note for the quarter ended 30.06.2005, the turnover has increased by 8.5% at Rs. 285 crores and profit has also increased by 16% at Rs. 8.56 crores for the quarter and we look forward to excellent financial results for the 2005-2006.

New projects

The Company is also finalizing new projects including building up of additional capacity on cotton Yarn, which will be green field project aggregating a project cost of almost Rs. 205 crores. Besides we are increasing Maize Grinding capacity from 500 TDP to 1000 TDP and also increasing the Sorbitol manufacturing capacity from 100 TDP to 200 TDP. The Company is simultaneously putting up the Project for manufacturing Ethanol from the Maize Processing of the capacity of 200 TDP. These project would also require total outlay of Rs. 200 crores.

Besides we have already made a small beginning in the Non-Conventional Energy Sector by setting up a 1.250 MW windmill. We expect to invest around Rs. 50 crores in the next 2 year.

All these projects would further add to the company's capacity to improve the top line as well as bottom line.
