Directors Report On the Six
months results (unaudited) for the Period May 2008 to October 2008. Dear
Shareholders, On
behalf of the Board, I have pleasure to submit the half yearly unaudited
results for the period May 2008 to October 2008. Sales
for the half yearly period May 2008 to October 2008 were Rials 3,235,000 compared
to Rials 2,718,000 for the same period last year. Gross profit for the period
was Rials 847,000 compared to Rials 736,000 for the same period last year. Higher
international oil prices increased the prices of raw material used for
packing products by 39%. Cattle feed
prices increased by 62%, and Fodder prices increased by 30%. Sales
distribution expenses also increased on account of higher discount provided
to super markets for increased shelf space. Hence
the net profit for the half yearly period May 2008 to October 2008 before
taxation after depreciation was Rials 42,000 compared to Rials 82,000 for the
same period last year. I
have the greatest honour in extending my gratitude and respect to His Majesty
Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, and his benevolent Government with prayers to God,
the Almighty for blessing Yours
faithfully, For
Oman Agriculture Developement Company (SAOG) Mohd
