An Impressive Outcome of Teamwork! 
        Thank you for being at your professional best during a period marked 
          with global price spikes, erratic domestic consumption and an ever-growing 
          competition. It is indeed a great achievement, and all on the strength 
          of excellent teamwork in every facet and sphere of our corporate initiatives 
          and operations. 
        As you are well aware, the Board of Management on August 3, 2006, reviewed 
          the company performance for the year ended June 30, 2006, and acknowledged 
          the enormous efforts and contributions made by the highly motivated 
          and dedicated employees, who in completely harmonious working relationship 
          with dealers, cartage contractors, vendors and other stakeholders, made 
          possible the impressive financial results and enhanced image of the 
          company.  
        While celebrating, we must be aware of the increasing challenges in 
          the form of financial changes, realignment of margin régime, 
          international oil prices, supply constraints and receivables from GOP. 
          This necessitates an even more aggressive and dynamic collective response 
          from us. We must innovate to offer technologically advanced differentiated 
          products and services to our customers; bring in more cost efficiency 
          in our working and become extra vigilant in pursuing our corporate goals 
          and targets.  
        We must remember that the future belongs to those who stay ahead of 
          competition; and this is possible only through teamwork and diligent 
          and smart strategies as market leaders. I am confident that together 
          we can surpass any obstacle in the way of our progress ahead.
