The Board of Directors of your company have pleasure in presenting the
Twenty Seventh Annual Report of the company together with the audited
statements of account for the year ended 31.03.2010.
1. The financial results are as follows:
(Amount in lacs of Rupees)
2009-2010 2008-2009
Operating Income 853.70 327.38
Other Income 34 66 45.05

Financial cost - 139.81
Depreciation 86.53 91.03
Deferred Tax & FBT 6.07 (374.78)
929.96 261.07
Net Profit (Loss) (41.60) 111.36
Inspite of the increased revenues, due to the cumulative losses (Rs
316.76 lacs) incurred the management is not able to recommend any
dividend.
The company has suffered due to severe competition offered by the
number of smaller nursing homes offering the same type of services as
our hospital, at a lesser cost due to comparatively lower overheads.
Being Corporate Hospital our hospital has certain fixed type of
statutory overheads. We are not able to match their cost without
compromising with, quality and ethical standards of Medical care.
Further many of the equipments have become old and obsolete requiring
replacement. Strengthening of the other resources like human resources,
modification of ICUs, Operation Theatres and Ward & OP Rooms and Halls
are also considered necessary, to suit the present needs and comply
with the accreditation standards.
To augment these needs the Board of Directors in their meeting held on
21.01.2010 decided to issue twelve equity shares of Re 1 each to every
one equity share held by the equity shareholders. After receiving the
required approval from SEBI, the offer document for the proposed rights
issue will be duly sent to the shareholders.
HIGHLIGHTS
Our company has enrolled for Chief Ministers Insurance plan provided
for people below poverty line.
Inauguration of Audiology department.
Inauguration of fulltime Gastro Enterology Department.
Inauguration of Obesity Clinic.

9. Auditors and their Report
M/s Patel, Mohan, Ramesh & Co, Chartered Accountants, Chennai, the
present Statutory Auditors of the company have enclosed their Report.
They are willing and eligible for re-appointment. More details are
included in the Notice to the shareholders. The auditors in their
report for the period 2009-2010 indicated the non maintenance of the
Fixed Assets
Register as per prescribed provisions of the Accounting Standards and
non inclusion of terms of repayment of loans borrowed from the company
under the same management.
In the course of efforts taken for revamping the civil areas as well as
equipments, the proper fixed locations for the fixed assets could not
be recorded. The management is taking prudent measures to set right
the deficiency. The management is also assuring a full compliance
within a short while.
Since- the revamping process is not completed and still going on, the
revenue generated by the operating activities are not sufficient to
augment the requirements. Therefore for the loans borrowed from the
company under the same management for the above purposes, the repayment
terms could not be arrived at, as the future generation of revenues
could not be predicted. Once the conditions of revenue generations are
promising, which is assured by the present performance of the hospital,
the terms of repayment will be arranged with the lenders in the best
interest of the Company.
The substantially whole part of the accumulated losses are the legacy
of the previous management. The present management is applying all
strategies to reduce these accumulations within the shortest possible
period. The major step taken towards this end is the capita! reduction
process undertook and successfully completed by the present management.
However the management is not leaving even a single stone un turned, to
increase the revenues and to control the costs.

A Detailed Corporate Governance Report has been annexed to this report.
