FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the financial year 2017-18, the net revenue from operations for the standalone entity decreased to Rs. 224.97 crores from Rs. 289.41 crores in the previous year showing a decline of around 22%. In line with decrease in revenues, the operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased from Rs. 63.12 crores to Rs.51.63 crores and there was a loss after tax of Rs. 21.32 crores for the year under review as against a loss after tax of Rs. 6.24 crores for the last financial year. The decrease in the revenue and profits is due to general recession in the real estate sector during the financial year 2017-18. In line with the above, the consolidated revenue from operations stood at Rs. 275.39 crores during the financial year 2017-18 against revenue of Rs. 331.59 crores in the previous year showing a downturn of 16.95%. Net consolidated loss from ordinary activities after tax for the financial year 2017-18 was Rs. 19.09 crores against the net loss of Rs. 3.26 crores in the previous year.

TRANSFER TO RESERVES Considering the losses incurred during the financial year 2017-18, the Company does not propose to transfer any amount to the General Reserve.

DIVIDEND

Based on Company’s performance during the year, the Directors do not propose payment of any dividend for the financial year 2017-18.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The year 2017-18 as we all know has set a new benchmark for the Indian real estate sector. The implementation of demonetisation in November 2016 had the entire economy reeling during initial quarters of 2017-18 and the realty segment was not pardoned either, with land sales reaching stagnation due to more involvement of cash transactions. However, this eventually helped reduce land prices thereby making the end products more affordable to the consumers. By April 2017, when the markets were looking to stabilise, RERA and GST were announced in succession which again caused some inertia due to confusion among buyers and developers alike, with both awaiting the final set of RERA notifications/legislation from their respective state regulatory bodies.

While business cycles have been affected this year due to buyers holding back purchases in anticipation of regulatory changes, and sales are still witnessing a slowdown, we are observing signs of recovery as the triple effects of demonetisation, RERA and GST have begun to shape up the sector with new standards of delivery, accountability and transparency.

CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF BUSINESS

There has been no change in the nature of business of the Company during the period under review. The Company is currently developing/building various projects at Gurugram, Meerut, Agra, Alwar, Ajmer, Indore, Karnal, Yamunanagar, Jhansi, Jammu, Muzaffarnagar, Rewari, Shahpur and Ghaziabad. Construction at all locations is progressing as per schedule and possession of ready units in various projects shall be handed over to the customers as per the agreed time schedule.

TRANSFER OF AMOUNT TO INVESTOR EDUCATION AND PROTECTION FUND Pursuant to the provisions of Section 125 of the Companies Act, 2013, the relevant amount against the final dividend for the financial year 2010-11, remaining unpaid or unclaimed for a period of seven years, shall be transferred by the Company to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) administered by the Central Government by 4th November, 2018. Members who have not yet encashed their dividend warrant(s) pertaining to the final dividend for the financial year 2010-11 are requested to lodge their claims with the Company on or before 25th October, 2018 otherwise the Company would have no other option but to transfer this amount to the IEPF by 4th November, 2018 which is the last date for transfer of the said amount. No claim shall lie further against the Company for the amounts so transferred.

Pursuant to the provisions of Investor Education and Protection Fund (Uploading of information regarding unpaid and unclaimed amounts lying with companies) Rules, 2012, the Company has uploaded the details of unpaid and unclaimed dividends lying with the Company as on 31st March, 2018 on the website of the Company (www. ansals.com).

FIXED DEPOSITS

The Company had been inviting/accepting and renewing deposits from the public and its shareholders for past many years in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956/2013 read with the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits), Rules, 1975/2014. However, the Company stopped accepting/renewing public deposits with effect from 1st April, 2016 in view of nonavailability of deposit insurance which was a mandatory condition at that time for acceptance/renewal of deposits. The Company owed a principal amount of Rs. 99.50 crores towards the public depositors when it stopped taking/renewing further deposits on 1st April, 2016.

Due to prolonged extreme and severe overall recession in the real estate sector since financial year 2013-14, it (the sector) has become virtually deserted. As a result, the turnover of the Company had been badly affected leading to repercussions on a much wider scale making it difficult for the Company to refund the whole amount of Rs. 99.50 crores at once after the closure of the fixed deposit scheme. In view of the above, the Company in the month of July, 2016 had approached the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), New Delhi seeking its approval to repay public deposits in instalments. Vide its Order dated 3rd October, 2016, the NCLT had accepted and approved in principle, the repayment proposal of the company for extension of time in respect of repayment of matured deposits in a phased manner over a period of 24 months from the due date in view of the past track record of the Company subject to periodical review of the scheme. Thereafter, regular review of the fixed deposit scheme has been done by Hon’ble NCLt and the Company has been refunding the public deposits in accordance with the orders of the Hon’ble NCLT.

The details relating to the deposits as required by Rule 8(5)(v) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 are given below:

* The payments are being released to the depositors in accordance with the orders passed by the Hon’ble NCLT, New Delhi from time to time.

SHARE CAPITAL

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

Management Discussion and Analysis Report for the year under review, as stipulated under Regulation 34 read with other regulations of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 is presented here under which forms part of the Annual Report.

i) Industry Structure and Developments Global and Indian Economy According to the International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook (Update -January, 2016) the Global growth is projected at 3.4 percent in 2016 and 3.6 percent in 2017. The pickup in global activity is projected to be more gradual than in the 2015, especially in emerging market and developing economies. In advanced economies, a modest and uneven recovery is expected to continue, with a gradual further narrowing of output gaps. The picture for emerging market and developing economies is diverse but in many cases challenging. As per the IMF report Indian Economy is the world''s fastest growing economy. As per the economic survey report, the GDP of the Indian economy is projected to have increased to 7.6% in 2015-16 as compared to 7.2% in 2014-15.

Industry review

Witnessing a paradigm shift in the last decade, the real estate sector has over the years steadily transformed itself from an unorganized sector to become a more structured one. It has forward and backward linkages with more than 250 different sectors and is the second largest employment generator in India after agriculture.

As per the Economic Survey 2015-16, real estate sector constituted 7.4% of India''s GDP in 2014-15. However, the sector has been affected by domestic as well as global slowdown with its growth decelerating from 4.4% in 2014 15 to 3.7% in 2015-16. The real estate market has been amongst the sectors worst hit by the economic downturn. The residential space continues to face headwinds in the form of muted sales and subdued consumer demand. Furthermore, the sector has been challenged by frequent delays in project completion and a complex approval process. This has resulted in developers curtailing new project launches and focusing on executing existing projects to deliver within the committed timeframe. Beyond the short term demand factors, there is immense potential for residential real estate in India. This growth is supported by robust underlying market drivers such as favourable macroeconomic conditions, increasing affordability and urbanization, improved access to credit and the gradual shift from unorganized real estate construction to organized development. The government is focused on working to deliver on its promise of "Housing for All'' by 2022. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 is a landmark reform for the real estate sector which has the potential to address long standing issues which have plagued the growth of the sector. Further, policy announcements and reforms to revive the real estate space, including the relaxation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) norms, introduction of 100 smart cities, direct and indirect tax benefits for affordable housing projects, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), etc. have helped in generating a positive outlook for the real estate market.

ii) Opportunities and threats

Opportunities

With the passing of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016 and other initiatives taken by the Government, the Company strongly believes that the Real Estate Sector is bound to improve in long term. Your Company has managed well even during turbulent times due to its inherent strengths like a well-accepted brand, well-designed projects and trust among members, creditors and other financial institutions. Your Company is hopeful that the Real Estate Sector will improve in near future and the Company is looking forward to grab new opportunities by launching new projects particularly through collaboration route and ensure timely delivery of existing projects.

Challenges

Every business has to face various challenges and threats despite of how or where a business operates. No business can do away with the threats or challenges and your Company is no different from others. Your Company also faces challenges/threats at times. In the current recessionary times, the foremost challenge is how to increase sales/ collections from the readily available stock and projects under development so that the Company is able to meet its financial commitments towards suppliers, contractors, government, lenders and employees.

iii) Segment-wise analysis

Revenue of the Company is generated from two segments namely Development of Real Estate and Restaurants (Hospitality).

The Hospitality Division is performing well with a turnover of ?4.85 crores with reasonable profits in the Financial Year 2015-16. Total 32 employees are engaged in this Division. The Division has the Brand mainly "The Great Kabab Factory” which has been franchised from U Mac Hospitality Pvt. Ltd.

iv) Outlook

The Real Estate Sector is one of the major sector of an economy over the globe. The Indian Economy is no different from the rest of the world. The Real Estate Sector is considered as the backbone of the Indian Economy. The unique and different approach of real estate sector has helped the Indian Economy to grow by improving the infrastructure of India with construction of complexes, shopping malls and flats etc. The Real Estate Sector is expected to grow at a good rate over the next decade.

The implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016 shall help the real estate sector to gain the trust of its investors. The initiatives of the government like Smart Cities and Housing for All have raised hope among the real estate sector as there is a lot of scope for development of the sector. According to IMF, India''s GDP growth rate is estimated to be 7.5% for Financial Year 2016-17. Your Company would try to develop and deliver high quality projects for its customers.

v) Internal Control systems and their adequacy

The Company has in place adequate internal control systems and procedures commensurate with the size and nature of business. These procedures are designed to ensure that:

- Effective & Adequate internal control environment is maintained across the Company.

- All assets and resources are acquired economically, used efficiently and are adequately protected.

- Significant financial, managerial and operating information is accurate, reliable and is provided timely; and

- All internal policies and statutory guidelines are complied with.

The effective implementation and independent monitoring of internal controls and processes is done by the Internal Audit. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the Internal Audit findings and provides guidance on internal controls. It ensures that Internal Audit recommendations are effectively implemented. The Audit Committee of the Company met five times during the Financial Year 2015-16. It reviewed, inter-alia, the adequacy and effectiveness of the Internal Control Systems and monitored implementation of Internal Audit recommendations and overlooked other financial disclosures. During the year under review, no material or serious observation has been received from the Internal Auditors of the Company for inefficiency or inadequacy of such controls.

vi) Risks and Concerns

The management of the company anticipates the following major risks pertaining to the industry in which it operates:

Liquidity risk

The time required for liquidity of real estate property can vary depending on the quality and location of the property. At times, it may also be impacted by the general market sentiments and economic conditions in the country.

Regulatory risks

In terms of property ownership, permission from the Reserve Bank of India is required for foreign investors. For capital repatriation, investors need to apply for approval from the RBI, and Foreign Direct Investment is limited to a limited set of opportunities (e.g. townships).

Macroeconomic risks

Interest rates, inflation and exchange rate risks are amongst the important macroeconomic indicators.

Ownership & Land Title Issue

Lack of information in the real estate segment in India, coupled with the age old property related issues discourages the investment of the large players in the semi urban and rural areas thus slacking an overall growth of the real estate sector.

The sanctioning procedures and involvement of multiple agencies in sanctioning restrict the growth of the Real Estate Industry. Average time taken to get clearance for a project is increasing by every passing year thereby escalating costs for the Developers.

The Company has broad based and strong in-house Legal Department to take care of Legal and Regulatory Risks. The requisite insurance covers are also taken by the Company for covering the disasters etc.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have been adopting adequate and timely risk management measures to take care of the risks.

vii) Material Developments in Human Resources/Industrial Relations Front, including number of people employed

Employee relations continue to be cordial and harmonious at all levels and in all divisions of the Company. The Board of Directors would like to express their sincere appreciation to all the employees for their continued hard work and steadfast dedication.

The company conducts consultations, dialogues, deliberations, negotiations and meetings in a congenial environment and arrives at amicable solutions to issues that crop from time to time.

As a part of the policy for Prevention of Sexual Harassment in the organization, the Company has in place an Internal Complaints Committee for prevention and redressal of complaints of sexual harassment of women at work place in accordance with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 and relevant rules there under. No complaints were received by the Committee during the period under review.

As on 31st March, 2016 the Company had a workforce of 612 employees.

viii) Cautionary Statement Statements in this Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Company''s objectives, projections, estimates and expectations may be forward looking statements within the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. Actual results may differ substantially or materially from those expressed or implied. Important developments that could affect the Company''s operations include a downward trend in the real estate development industry, rise in input costs and significant changes in political and economic environment, environment standards, tax laws, litigation and labour relations etc.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND STATE OF AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY Standalone Financial Results

During the financial year 2014-15, the net revenue from operations for the standalone entity increased to Rs, 787.71 crores from Rs,619.01 crores in the previous year registering a growth of 27.25%. However, due to increase in input costs and lower margin in one of the projects which constituted major portion of sale, the operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased from Rs,113.83 crores to Rs,93.96 crores and the profit after tax (PAT ) for the year under review was Rs.30.50 crores as against Rs, 39.01 crores for the last financial year.

Consolidated Financial Results

The Consolidated Revenue from operations increased to Rs, 818.95 crores from Rs, 648.40 crores last year showing a growth of over 27%. Net profit after minority interest for the group for the financial year 2014-15 was Rs, 28.76 crores as against Rs,43.46 crores in the previous year.

Business Review

Reflecting the trends of the overall economy, the year 2014-15 has not been an encouraging and favorable year for the real estate sector. The real estate is burdened with high costs because of which there is little possibility of reduction in home prices in most micro-markets. Construction cost has increased by almost 40% in last four years, while government taxes and premiums have also gone up substantially. This eliminates any scope for reduced prices, despite the weak markets. Banks' reluctance to lend to real estate companies has led to increased cost of borrowing, adding to the overall cost. In fact, these factors will also result in an increase in prices when market condition improves.

It is expected that in the coming years, the urban population will rise which, coupled with growth in employment, education and health care, will push the demand for residential and commercial space. Increasing migration to the cities will drive this demand for residential and commercial spaces. Also a rise in sales of housing property is anticipated following the recent stock market rally and a slew of optimistic RBI rules to allow foreign banks into the Country's protected banking ecosystem. Steady housing demand will be a big constant for the Indian Economy and the industry will focus on meeting this demand.

The Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) has identified demand from tier-II and tier-III cities as an impetus for better real estate solutions. With rapid land and infrastructure development in smaller cities and towns, assisted by bank loans, higher earnings and improved standards of living, housing and construction demand is likely to increase in these cities.

Capitalizing on these opportunities, during the period under report, new residential and commercial projects at Gurgaon, Yamunanagar and Meerut were launched by the Company. The Company is currently developing/building various projects at Gurgaon, Meerut, Agra, Alwar, Ajmer, Indore, Karnal, Yamunanagar, Jhansi, Jammu, Muzaffarnagar, Rewari, Shahpur, Zirakpur and Ghaziabad. The Company will be soon launching new residential projects in Greater Noida and Amritsar. Construction at all locations is progressing well and possession of ready units in various projects at Meerut, Agra, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Indore, Jammu, Jhansi, Ghaziabad, Rewari, Alwar, Zirakpur and Shahpur is being handed over to the customers.

CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF BUSINESS

There has been no change in the nature of business of the Company during the financial year 2014-15.

TRANSFER TO RESERVES

The Company proposes to transfer a sum of Rs, 10 crores (Previous Year Rs, 150 crores) to the General Reserve out of the amount available for appropriation. An amount of Rs, 93.59 crores is proposed to be retained in Statement of Profit and Loss.

DIVIDEND

Your Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs, 0.80 per Equity Share (@ 8%) on the paid up equity share capital of the Company for the financial year ended 31st March, 2015. The total payout of the proposed dividend is Rs, 475.08 lacs and Corporate Dividend Tax of Rs, 70.75 lacs. The dividend will be paid to members whose names would appear in the Register of Members as on the record date for the purpose of dividend for the Financial Year 2014-15. In respect of shares held in dematerialized form, it will be paid to the members whose names will be furnished by National Security Depository Ltd. and Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. on behalf of beneficial owners as on that date.

Performance Review

The financial year 2013-14 was a drag for the Indian economy with poor macro- economic conditions. Slowing income growth, sustained weakness in the rupee, sky-rocketing inflation and high borrowing rates combined to make consumers vary of spending. However, an emerging economy is never short of opportunities and particularly the residential real estate industry in India, where the shortage of homes stands at around 19 million units out of which 95% is in the economically weaker section and low-income group categories. The Indian retail realty sector is projected to grow at around 15 per cent year-on-year over the next 3-5 years as estimated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Real Estate Development, once restricted to bigger cities, has shown marked progress in smaller cities and towns owing to availability of easy bank loans, higher earnings and improved standard of living.

Capitalising on these opportunities, your Company launched 5 new projects during the financial year 2013-14 in order to cater to the ever growing need of housing in small cities as well as big cities like Gurgaon, Haryana, where pace of real estate development is much higher as compared to other parts of the country, as a result of which turnover ofyour Company went up from Rs. 435.65 Crores during the financial year 2012-13 to Rs. 619.01 Crores in the financial year 2013-14.

Standalone Financials

Net revenue from operations for the standalone entity increased to Rs. 619.01 Crores from Rs. 435.65 crores in the previous year registering a growth of 42%. The operating profit (EBITDA) increased by 12.42%, from Rs. 101.25 Crores to Rs. 113.83 Crores. The profit after tax for the current year is Rs. 39.02 Crores as against Rs. 38.01 crores for the last year.

Consolidated Financials

The Consolidated Net Revenue from operations increased to Rs. 648.40 Crores from Rs. 463.62 Crores showing a growth of around 40%. Net profit after minority interest for the group for the financial year 2013-14 was Rs. 43.46 Crores as against Rs. 44.04 Crores in the previous year.

Business Review

Reflecting the trends of the overall economy, the year was not favourable for the real estate sector.

The urban population will surge in the coming years, which, coupled with growth in employment, education and health care, will push the demand for residential and commercial space. Further, the urbanisation has been rapid in the past few years, with ''upwardly-mobile'' buyers keen to invest and reap dividends from the real estate market growth. Increasing migration to the cities will drive this demand. Also a rise in sales of housing property is anticipated following the recent stock market rally and a slew of optimistic RBI rules to allow foreign banks into the country''s protected banking ecosystem. Steady housing demand will be a big constant for the Indian economy and the industry will focus on meeting this demand.

However, the real estate is burdened with high costs because of which there is little possibility of reduction in home prices in most micro-markets. Construction cost has increased by 40% in last three years, while government taxes and premiums have also gone up substantially. This eliminates any scope for reduced prices, despite the weak market. Banks'' reluctance to lend to real estate companies has led to increased cost of borrowing, adding to the overall cost. In fact, these factors will also result in an increase in prices in improved market conditions. The housing industry is likely to revive at a faster pace due to formation of a stable government by a single political party after getting the requisite majority in the recently concluded general elections of 2014.

The Confederation of Real Estate Developers'' Associations of India (CREDAI) has identified demand from tier-II and tier-III cities as an impetus for better real estate solutions. With rapid land and infrastructure development in smaller cities and towns, assisted by bank loans, higher earnings and improved standards of living, housing and construction demand is likely to increase in these cities.

During the period under report, new Residential and Commercial Projects at Gurgaon, Ajmer, Meerut and Jhansi were launched by your Company. The company is currently developing / building various projects at Gurgaon, Agra, Alwar, Ajmer, Meerut, Indore, Karnal, Yamunanagar, Jammu, Zirakpur, Jhansi, Lucknow, Muzaffarnagar, Rewari, Shahpur and Ghaziabad. The Company will be soon launching another residential project in Gurgaon Sector 88A. Construction at almost all locations is progressing well and possession of ready units in various projects at Karnal, Yamunanagar, Zirakpur, Indore, Agra, Meerut, Jammu, Shahpur, NH24 Ghaziabad and Jhansi is being handed over to customers.

Transfer to Reserves

The Company proposes to transfer a sum of Rs. 150 Crores (Previous Year Rs. 6 Crores) to the General Reserve out of the amount available for appropriation. An amount of Rs. 78.54 Crores is proposed to be retained in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Dividend

Your Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of Re. 0.80 per Equity Share (@ 8%) on the paid up equity share capital of the Company for the financial year ended 31st March 2014. The total payout of the proposed dividend is Rs. 546.93 Lacs which includes Corporate Dividend Tax of Rs. 71.84 Lacs. The dividend will be paid to Members whose names would appear in the Register of Members as on the record date for the purpose of dividend for the Financial Year 2013-2014. In respect of shares held in dematerialized form, it will be paid to the members whose names will be furnished by National Security Depository Ltd. and Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. on behalf of beneficial owners as on that date. A motion for confirmation of the dividend for the year is being placed before the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to the provision of Section 205A(5) of the Companies Act, 1956, the relevant amount of Rs. 7,52,065.20 (Rupees Seven Lacs Fifty Two Thousand Sixty Five and Paise Twenty only) against the Final dividend for the Financial Year 2006-2007 which remains unpaid or unclaimed for a period of seven years shall be transferred by the company to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) by 3rd November, 2014.

Performance Review

Global economic uncertainties have affected India's economy including the Real Estate Sector. Macro-economic indicators are not healthy. Fiscal Deficit and interest rates are high and the rupee has been depreciating continuously. All this does not go well for any industry especially the Real Estate Sector. Real Estate Developers are reeling under high debt and the situation is likely to continue in 2012.

Builders and Realtors face the problems with regard to availability of land, long drawn project approval procedures and licensing, abnormal Central and State Taxes, high cost of credit and lack of proactive state policies.

The real estate sector has contributed only 5% of India's Overall GDP this year as compared to a contribution of 10.6% in Financial Year 2010-201 1 with the lack of cheap credit and increased debts servicing levels and with the declining rate of foreign direct investment in the real estate sector.

The world economy is passing through a very difficult phase and is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2012.The advanced economies remain worrisome because of sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone, focus on fiscal consolidation and continued bank deleveraging. The key economies of developing world viz. China, India, Brazil and Russia are expected to record lower rate of growth.

Performance Review

India's GDP registered an increase of 8.5 percent in the year 2010-2011. The slight dip in expected growth rate of 8.6 percent can be attributed to weaker performance in sectors such as mining and quarrying, manufacturing, trade, hotels, transport and communication and real estate and business services than anticipated earlier.

After two years of consolidation, Real Estate in India is poised at the right threshold to take a giant leap in years to come. The experience gained by the real estate sector during slow-down is invaluable and will serve real estate strategists for years to come.

Caution and diligence would be the keywords for the industry in the medium term. Emerging opportunities should be targeted with an unmatched fervour of potential and pragmatism. Winners would be those who balance caution with diligence evaluating all potential opportunities with pragmatism. The Company has consistently been following business approach keeping in view the above strategies.

The Company has achieved an all time high turnover of Rs. 30485.86 Lacs for the Financial Year 2010-2011 as against Rs. 20924.92 Lacs in the previous year and net profit (post tax) for the year 2010- 2011 stood at Rs. 3340.11 Lacs as against Rs. 1958.79 Lacs in the year 2009-2010. The Earning per Share (EPS) has gone up from Rs. 12.63 to Rs. 17.21 registering a y-o-y rise of 36.26%.

Business
