Review of Operations

The year gone by was a surprisingly tough one for the economy; hopes of a quick recovery were belied. Stock Markets, however, tend to rise in anticipation of better economic performance. It was this rise that helped us increase our equity trading activities and reduce our losses substantially. The future also holds high promise of a considerably better business environment over the next 3-5 years, which would also lead to a rally in the equities markets. We are very positive on future trends and expect our financial performance to be much better in the years to come.
