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:

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

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.
