BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR LANCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATES BUSINESS OVERVIEW

There has been no material change in the nature of business of the company

The Real Estate sector which has been suffering much pain in the last 3 years is yet to see a recovery. The buyers are still delaying their decisions and the sector awaits the return of customers and investors. The home prices have been under tremendous pressure than before as the customers are still not entering the market. As per data, there was an accumulated stock of 7 lakhs units across India by September 2015. There has been mispricing and mis-design of project in many places. Your Company recognizes this position and has designed its TCP-Lake Front Phase II, OMR project with apartments of average sizes starting from 850 sft with a ticket size of above Rs.53 lakhs. The MSB panel approval for TCP-Lake Front Phase II has been obtained and the project will be launched in the next 2 months. As against 279 apartments that were reported in the last report, there will be 378 apartments as the sizes of the apartments are made more attractive and affordable.

The commercial office space has been the only saving grace where vacancy levels are falling down. The actual trickledown effect of many reforms and policies announced over the last two years by the Central Government is yet to see its effects on ground.

Your company in order to de-leverage your balance sheet obtained the shareholders approval and monetized the land in Potheri and Vallancheri of 6.44 acres for Rs.57.31 Crores and reduced the debt to Rs.160.51 Crores as on 31.07.2016 at the group level.

As on 31.07.2016, the debt equity ratio of your Company at the Group level is 1.14:1.

Your Company has launched an Innovative Scheme titled ‘GRIHA (Guaranteed Rental Income and Home Appreciation scheme), under which the buyer gets rental guarantee for the apartment purchased at 4.99% yield and is further assured of capital appreciation of 12% at the end of 3 years. The initial response of the scheme has been positive.

The construction of G block in Lumina has been completed and your company is making efforts to sell its inventories in G block under the GRIHA Scheme.

The few units which are left in Townsville, Town & Country at Sriperumbudur, TCP-Lake Front at Sholinganallur are also offered under the GRIHA Scheme.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR LANCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATE:

The general economy in Financial Year 2013-14 grew at a slower pace at 4.5%. Rising inflation with high interest rates led to contraction in demand for the real estate sector and the performance on the whole was very subdued.

The stable government now at the centre with focus on policy initiatives have spurred positive sentiments in the country. However it may take a few quarters before the demand picks up in the industry. Medium to long term (say between 12 to 36 months) demand for real estate is certain due to demographic advantages, rising income levels and rapid urbanization.

During the year your company had launched two projects with a total saleable area of 245308 sft.

Completed Projects: During the financial year 2013-14, your company has completed the residential project viz "The Coutryard" and handed over the apartments to the customers.

Ongoing Projects:

1. The Central Park Lake Front (TCPLF), Sholinganallur: The phase I of the TCPLF consisting of 136 apartments was launched in April 2014 and as on date of reporting, 64% has already been sold. The construction has been progressing well and the apartments are expected to be handed over for interiors to customers in the third quarter of next year.

The building plans for TCPLF Phase II have been submitted to Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) for approval, which will be launched by January 2015.

2. Kiruba Cirrus: The construction of Kiruba Cirrus is 90% complete with the finishing and final development works are under way. This is the first time ever that a large residential building using glass has been constructed in Chennai and the building looks very impressive catering to exclusive market.

The enquiry level for Kiruba Cirrus has been picking up and is expected to be sold in full as the market picks up say in the next 12 months.

3. Corner Stone and Sonnet Square: These two projects will be completed during the FY 2014-15.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

PROJECT COMPANIES:

LANCOR GUDUVANCHERY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED:

LUMINA: The construction of E & F blocks was completed and the customers have started living in "Lumina". G block has been opened up for sale recently.

When the market picks up with the all the infrastructure viz internal roads, power supply, DG supply, Sewerage Treatment Plant(STP), Water Treatment Plant(WTP), Reverse Osmosis Plant (RO), a modern club house, a bus etc., that are put in place in Lumina will make Lumina sell well

LANCOR SRIPERUMBUDUR DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED:

TOWNSVILLE: The construction of A, B & C blocks are completed and the apartments are being handed over to the customers. The construction of D block is under way. Sriperumbudur as a destination is getting focus with Japanese investments that are expected on NH-4 for "Chennai-Bangalore Expressway" connecting Chennai and Bangalore, should boost the sales of Townsville.

In order to cater to the employees working in and around Sriperumbudur, apartments of sizes ranging from 500 sft to 750 sft are being designed with a price range starting from Rs.12 lakhs per apartment.

LMSL provides facility management services to all the new projects of LHL and the growth of LHL will organically grow LMSL as well

LANCOR REALTY LIMITED:

The office leasing has been picking up slowly and with IT Companies hiring employees, there will be enough absorption going forward.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR LANCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATE:

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS:

The real estate industry has been under stress due to sluggish economic growth, rising inflation and over supply at certain locations. The sentiments being generally weak has caused uncertainty on job security coupled with rising prices due to inflation etc., has resulted in deferment of decision by the customers to close out sales. With the weakening of rupee and high inflation the construction costs are rising month on month. The political scene is nebulous and is not expected to change for the better over the next one year which keeps fresh investments from being made. The Reserve Bank of India''s inability to have any room for monetary action has now left no room for reduction in housing finance interest rates, thereby leaving no relief for home buyers. Hence the general outlook for the year 2013 is very pessimistic for the Real Estate industry.

Though the economy and industry have been slowing down, the projects of your company are ideally located in the growth corridors in Chennai viz OMR, GST Road and Sriperumbudur.

The company and its subsidiaries have currently 9 ongoing projects aggregating to 78.76 lakhs sq.ft of developable area, out of which 13.45 lakhs sq.ft have been taken up for development in the current year.

Your company expects the current challenging times on both economic and business environment to be continuing over the next few quarters. Therefore it has decided now to focus its energy to faster execution, which in a few projects are ahead of schedule in order to instill confidence in prospective customers to make buying decisions.

The Courtyard: "The Courtyard" is the only multi storied building in Nanganallur, Chennai, has been sold to the extent of 80% and is expected to be completed by the end of this year with good amount of revenue and earnings.

Kiruba Cirrus: "Kiruba Cirrus" is a Marquee Multi Storied High Rise Project in Valasaravakkam, West Chennai, where the construction has reached the 5th floor. Two Show Apartments are getting ready for view before launch of the project in the next 2 months. This project comes with outstanding features like fully Air-conditioned, vacuumized double glazing to be provided for heat and noise reduction. The Aluminium structure, which is proposed to be installed, is white anodized, at the higher levels of Japan''s standard is being used for the first time in any residential complex in India. This building is expected to be completed by the end of the financial year 2013-14.

OTHER CITY PROJECTS:

Your company is also developing two more city projects viz. "Sonnet Square" and "Corner Stone" in the current financial year for which the responses have so far been impressive.

TOWN & COUNTRY VILLA PROJECT: Your Company had reported about the villa project "Town & Country" in Sriperumbudur, last year. We are glad to inform that all the infrastructure with regard to "Town & Country" Villa Project (First Phase), viz Roads, Street Lights, Water tank, Sewer lines, Marketing office etc., have been developed in full. The electricity supply and generator back up for the villas are already in place. Fifty villas are under construction, out of which fourteen villas have been completed and are being handed over to the customers. The construction is in full swing while the project is gaining considerable attention even before the formal launch, so much so as on this date nearly 30 villas have been sold. Sriperumbudur is a fast developing industrial zone and your company is confident of the success of this project.

The Central Park Lake Front: As stated in the last report, "The Central Park Lake Front" will be developed on a total land extent of 5.71 acres and this will be the 4th development in the Central Park series in Sholinganallur, OMR. The plans are in the advanced stage of approval and the project is expected to be commenced in the next couple of months and the customers interest continues to remain high.

All the above projects are developed in the holding company.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES: PROJECT COMPANIES:

LANCOR GUDUVANCHERY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED:

Lumina: During the year, the DTCP approval for "Lumina" was obtained and 2 blocks out of 8 blocks were opened up for sale. Out of 196 apartments in 2 blocks, more than 50% of the apartments have already been sold. The construction is going on at a fast pace across four blocks and it is hoped that all the four blocks will be ready by the end of this financial year. Though the sales have been slower than our projection and expectation, with the construction of Show Apartment that is planned in the next one month, it is hoped that the sales will pick up.

LANCOR SRIPERUMBUDUR DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED:

Townsville: As reported last year, your company had launched a residential project named "Townsville", where out of 144 apartments in 5 blocks, 3 blocks were opened for sale with a total of 96 apartments. Out of 96 apartments, 70% of the apartments have already been sold. The construction is progressing at a fast pace. The project was launched at an affordable price of Rs.2,222/- per sft and now the current price is Rs.2,555/- per sft.

A few major corporates in Sriperumbudur area are showing keen interest to take up our apartments and villas for their employees. Townsville, being an affordable project is witnessing interest not only as a good investment option but also as housing for the employees working in Sriperumbudur. The company is now drawing plans to acquire some more lands adjacent to its buildings so that proper land consolidation takes place.

As reported last year, your company acquired a group company of L&T Ltd, which had 6½ acres of premium land at GST Road. This land has a development potential of more than one million sq.ft and there is an existing operating school adjacent to this land parcel. This project will be taken up for development at the end of this financial year, once all the plans are sanctioned. A multinational IT company has bought a huge commercial space which is next to our land parcel and hence the expectation is that the demand for homes from the employees of IT Company would be significant.

SERVICE COMPANIES:

LANCOR MAINTENANCE & SERVICES LIMITED (LMSL):

As the projects that are being developed by the parent company, Lancor Holdings Ltd, get completed, commencing from this year, the same will be handed over to LMSL for maintenance. In the current year, 2 city projects viz "The Courtyard" and "Kiruba Cirrus" will be handed over to LMSL for maintenance apart from the maintenance of "Town & Country" in its entirety as it becomes occupied. In addition, LMSL is also exploring new non-Lancor business to add to the earnings of the company.

LANCOR REALTY LIMITED (LRL):

Though the primary market has been sluggish, the secondary market seems to be promising as the customers are looking at second hand projects, which are readily available. With the depreciation of rupee, secondary markets are viewed favourably by NRI''s in order to complete the deals immediately, hence LRL is better positioned to increase the revenues in the current year.

LANCOR PROJECTS LIMITED (LPL):

During the year, Lancor Projects Ltd got merged with Lancor Holdings Ltd and the employees of LPL were absorbed by LHL and the LPL was dissolved without winding up.

SENIOR CITIZEN HOMES:

Your company is happy to report that it will be starting a new vertical under the name "Harmonia" to develop homes for senior citizens. Initially 3 projects viz "Lumina", "The Central Park Lake Front" and "Town & Country" have been identified where the senior citizen homes will also be constructed as part of the overall residential project. The vision is that in the next three to four years, your company would have developed more than 1,500 senior citizen homes across Chennai city and elsewhere and is expected to be an active player in this sector.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Though "Lumina", "Townsville" were launched during the year and good number of units were sold as reported above, due to the revised guidance note issued by, "The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India", on accounting for real estate transactions, the revenues for the same could not be booked. This resulted in deferment of corresponding profits as well.

NON RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT: Your Company''s focus will continue to remain in residential segment only as the commercial market is still stressed for rentals. During the year, the company has constructed a commercial building of 11,164 sq.ft as a Management Project in a prime area of the city,

CREDIT RATING:

CRISIL has Re-affirmed its Rating of "BBB " in respect of the Compamies long term bank loans.

DIVIDEND:

Your directors are pleased to recommend dividend of 100% on the paid-up share capital of the Company for approval of the members of the Company, i.e, Rs.2/- per equity share of Rs.2/- each. The final dividend, if approved by the members would involve a cash outflow of Rs.4,05,00,000/- (excluding dividend distribution tax).

TRANSFER TO RESERVE:

Pursuant to The Companies (Transfer of Profits to Reserves) Rules, 1975, the Company proposes to transfer Rs.93,85,737- to the General Reserve, out of the amount available for appropriation.

FIXED DEPOSITS

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR LANCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATE:

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS:

RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT: in the last report we had stated that due to political instability and economic condition that were prevailing in the country the property development business has been negatively impacted, although to a reduced extent in the residential development. Amongst all cities in this country, Chennai, where our company had been developing properties had been showing some strength as all the projects taken up by the company, prior to 2011, have been fully sold and most of them have been completed and handed over to the customers.

The company and its customers had experienced higher interest rate regime and most unfortunately the high inflation rate with reference to the building materials and products. Some of the building materials and commodities had to be procured at unbelievably high price, sometimes in multiple times of the contracted rates so as to keep up the delivery schedule committed to the customers.

The company has most recently launched a residential development project in Sriperumbudur named as "Town & Country" where it has acquired about 92 acres of land on ownership and Joint Venture basis. The highlight of the project is that in the next 5 years the company will be able to construct nearly about 500 villas and offer high rise apartment buildings of about 4 million sq ft. The concept is to build a township with all the amenities like roads, street lights, banks and essential shopping facilities, sports and recreation centre, schools while providing bus facilities to the residents to vantage points in the city. it is expected over the next 10 years that this project will earn very good returns to the company.

The company has launched another project known as "Lumina" in Guduvanchery. It is expected to have approximately 800 apartments. The initial response has been gratifying. it is anticipated that by September - 0ctober'2012 between 25-35% of the apartments will be booked and thereafter steady sales will occur at regular intervals. Barring unforeseen circumstances, this project which is competitively priced will earn good returns for the company

The company has also launched 2 residential projects in the city with premium specifications and both of them have been received very well response.

During last year the company had successfully completed "The Central Park (South)" culminating 3 phases of Central Park projects, with supply of 535 apartments. The company has now acquired another parcel of land opposite to "The Central Park" and it is named as "Central Park (Lake Front)". Barring unforeseen circumstance the company will be able to add another 300 apartments to The Central park (Lake Front) thus becoming a dominant force in this area as a developer of property with provision for maintenance and a modern club.

The company is actively engaged in negotiating with several land owners in the city for development of their properties.

The company's major residential development known as "Abode Valley" have been fully sold and nearly 500 apartments out of 700 apartments had been handed over to the customers. it is expected that the construction will be complete between September and december this year.

The company has also taken a position to acquire 6-1/2 acres of premium land at GST Road in respect of which the due diligence is under way. it has been decided to use this land partially as commercial and the remaining as residential.

NON RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT: The company has not focused in this segment due to oversupply of space. However as conditions improve, with its increasing absorption, the company will certainly venture in this area of property development.

RISK MANAGEMENT: The risk management is a corner stone of the management policy, which is mitigation and hedging measures. Factors such as high inflation, reducing GDP growth, high interest costs and reducing opportunities weigh heavily in the minds of the management.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

LANCOR MAINTENANCE & SERVICES LIMITED: Lancor Maintenance & Services Ltd is providing maintenance services in the case of all major residential development completed by its parent company for a period of 3 years. By this process LMSL is providing services for Central Park projects and the Abode Valley apartments besides a few other previously developed residential projects as well. All in all currently the company is maintaining about 1000 apartments spread over various projects while the opportunities to increase the base both within Lancor development and non-Lancor developments are increasing.

It is gratifying to report that the outstanding from the customers have been collected while in few cases where difficulties have been experienced the company is taking sustained measures for recovery of the amount.

The company maintains about half a dozen commercial projects and it is earning hand sum returns. Consequent to the change in the top management of LMSL active efforts are underway to improve the spread and reach of the company outside Lancor group for increasing the earnings for the company.

LANCOR REALTY LIMITED: The company for the current year has forecasted improved performance with reorganization of the management. Main source of income for the company is to deal with the parent company's customers for resale, renting and repurchase. The management team is also forecasting on third party real estate business in the OMR area and hope to achieve success going forward.

LANCOR PROJECTS LIMITED: Lancor Projects Ltd has obtained 3 contracts for managing third party projects during the year while taking on more projects for the company as well. it is proposed to merge Lancor Projects Limited (LPL) with the Lancor Holdings Limited, with appointed date being 1st of April 2012 and in this connection the draft scheme of amalgamation has been drawn and the process of merger has commenced. The personnel of LPL will be absorbed suitably within Lancor Holdings Limited based on their designation and position.

LANCOR GUDUVANCHERY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED: The Project "Lumina" has been launched as a residential development and application for the development has already been filed with the Government and we are awaiting the approval. Barring unforeseen circumstances the company's project is expected to do well going forward.

LANCOR SRIPERUMBUDUR DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED: The company during the year under review had purchased approximately 36 Acres of land at Sriperumbudur. As on this date, the company has drawn plans for launching the residential project named "Townsville" to initially construct and sell 144 apartments comprised of five blocks with all amenities at a most affordable cost.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR LANCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATE:

Your Directors Have Great pleasure In Presenting The Twenty Sixth Annual Report On The Business And Operations Of Your Company Together With Audited Accounts Of The Company For The Year Ended 31st March, 2011 And The Auditors Report There On.

CNBC CRISIL CREDAI REAL ESTATE AWARD 2010:

It is very gratifying to report that the Company received the CNBC AWAAZ CRISIL CREDAI REAL ESTATE AWARDS 2010, under the category "BEST CONSUMER PROTECTION" for our project "THE CENTRAL PARK WEST", at a function held in Singapore in April, 2011.

CAPITAL RAISING EFFORTS - PROGRAMME FOR RAISING ADDITIONAL CAPITAL

The Directors felt on the basis of advice given by Merchant banks that it would be better to defer the programme for raising additional capital for the time being and wait for opportune time for the sentiments to improve concerning property development business.

Accordingly the company has decided to defer the programme and look for alternative means of financing acquisition of new lands for the development to improve the volume of business.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS:

RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT: Last year the company had outlined a bright future for Residential property development and the performance had been gratifying. However the events in the last 6 months namely, the very disturbed political conditions has reverberated to the property development business negatively and until we have more stable political and economic situation, the outlook for the property business is not going to be rosy as one would have expected.

The considerable inflation seen in the economy has lead to stringent monetary management by the RBI resulting in steep increase in interest rates both to the company and to its customers who are mainly housing loan applicants.

Inflation has also brought negative consequences on construction cost while local government controls on supply and movement of essential items namely sand, bricks etc has disturbed the equilibrium resulting increase in prices.

Your company has acquired more projects for development in the last 5-6 months which gives a very positive business outlook.

Your company has acquired 92 acres of land for development both on outright and joint venture basis in Sriperumbudur which is thought of as destination of future. This is quite possible with the new international Airport to be situated in the vicinity and most of the manufacturing units namely Automobile companies, Auto Ancillary Units, Tyre Companies, Electronic & Telecom Industry set up being part of the Sriperumbudur, Oragadam area. Sriperumbudur is already becoming a strong case for being developed into a satellite township.

The company has also positioned itself for future development on the GST Road. The new parcel of land for residential project is within 4 to 5 kms of Abode Valley project and is expected to produce outstanding results.

The company has 2 projects to its pipeline in the Old Mahabalipuram Road area and it has successfully completed construction of 550 apartments known as The Central Park in this area.

In terms of development in the suburbs, these various projects would give a constructable space of nearly 7 million sq.ft.

NON-RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT:

Your Company has opportunity to develop 2 or 3 city non residential locations and the proposals for development of such plots are under consideration with the owners. The continued policy of the company in the matter of development of non residential city projects is not to dispose of such developed non residential project to book profit but to retain them for rental income and capital appreciation. As can be seen from recent commercial developments by the company namely Menon Eternity and Roma, though such investment strain the companys finance in the initial stage, the longer term benefits of steady rental income and capital appreciation need not be overemphasized. It is expected that in the next 5 years the companys holding of non residential property would have doubled in stock from 134,000 sq.ft to 250,000 sq.ft.

Although whatever has been stated above gives a healthy outlook for the future, the immediate future mainly for the year 2011-2012 is not expected to be bright since the company is experiencing difficulties in starting of various projects because of delay in obtaining sanction from various government departments. The main reason for this delay in action by the Government is due to election held in the State of Tamilnadu followed by total change of government and also reshuffle of officials in various departments. Due to the above circumstances the companys turnover for the current year may just be around Rs.150 Crores instead of Rs.250 crores that is originally thought of as achievable.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

LANCOR MAINTENANCE & SERVICES LIMITED (LMSL) :

Over the next few years the number of apartments which LMSL will maintain is expected to cross 3000 in all which will boost revenues of the company. Significant contributions are also expected from the commercial properties that are owned by the company and maintained by LMSL. As operations increase, but remain within the geographical territory of Chennai, it is quite likely that services provided by LMSL will broaden beyond the parent companys projects to projects developed by others. The breadth of services rendered are also likely to get expanded. Special emphasis is being made for training of employees and for this purpose a training centre is proposed in the vicinity of one of the projects.

LANCOR REALTY LIMITED (LRL) :

The outlook for LRL continues to remain bright in view of developed property volumes made by the parent company increase from year to year. Opportunity for third party transactions coupled with increased commercial property placements, no doubt is a bright spot for the future. Strengthening of the companys management is being given serious attention and hopefully more energetic team will be in place soon.

LANCOR PROJECTS LIMITED (LPL):

Last year has been relatively difficult period for LPL in view of severe challenges on construction cost management, labour productivity and major supply chain issues covering supply of very essential items like sand, bricks etc. The LPL senior management is now seized in finding solution for these difficulties and challenges while at the same time improving contracting practices at more acceptable prices.

LANCOR GUDUVANCHERY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED (LGDL):

The outlook for LGDL is bright, since it proposes to develop, the 8.15 acres of land purchased in the name of the company as a residential development with very good margin. On the basis of allowable FSI on this land, LGDL can build approximately 7.25 lakhs sq.ft of super built up area which would facilitate construction and maintenance of 600 apartments of 1200 sq.ft of average size for which good demand exists at a reasonable price. LGDL also proposes to purchase another 7 acres of adjoining land, which would yield further development of another approximately 550 apartments leading to the companys continued presence in Guduvanchery for a minimum period of 5 years.

DIVIDEND:

Your Directors are now pleased to recommended 100% Dividend on the paidup share capital of the Company i.e., Rs.2/- per equity share of Rs.2/- each.

The Picture shows our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. V K Ashok receiving the CNBC CRISIL CREDAI AWARD for HIGHEST TRANSPARENCY from Honble Union Minister for Housing, Kumari Selja.

CAPITAL RAISING EFFORT:

PROGRAMME FOR RAISING ADDITIONAL CAPITAL:

You are aware that we had sought the shareholders approval at an Extra-Ordinary General Body Meeting held on 11th December 2009 for issuance of additional capital with premium subject to a limit of Rs. 75.00 crores to augment the capital base of the Company. Unfortunately, due to stringent controls imposed by the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India, investment of funds in property development companies by banking and financial institutions is severely controlled while the risk aversion have been the dominant factors for Mutual and Private equities funds. This has narrowed down the opportunity for successfully completing the QIP process which is slated to open for subscription on 14/06/2010. However, since the funds that has been raised are to be used for expansion of the business, its non- availability immediately will not hamper the current operations of the Company.

The industry in respect of residential developments has been segmented between city development, near suburban development and distant suburban development. The Company participates in all the three segments primarily in South, South Eastern and Central Chennai, apart from isolated developments in other areas of the city.

The Companys customers fall in all the three categories as above, who belong to middle and upper middle salaried class, who are educated or self-employed businessmen.

The completion of "The Central Park" projects involving two phases viz., "The Central Park" and "The Central Park West" where more than 350 families have now occupied the premises, has given a great boost to Companys credibility in terms of its performance Versus promises while the construction of an exclusive State-of-the-art Sports Centre with gymnasium, swimming pool etc., has positioned the project and the Company very favourably in the eyes of its customers.

The "Abode Valley"—Affordable Homes project and "The Central Park" premium project have been well received mainly because of good understanding displayed by the Company in the segmentation of the market so much so, an apartment from the Company is available to an intending buyer between Rs. 30.00 lakhs to Rs. 70.00 lakhs with break point of Rs. 5.00 lakhs price bands. The premium segment city projects have all been completed and the Company is actively pursuing acquisition of fresh lands for new projects which should be achieved in the next few months.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS:

RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT:

The outlook for the Company in the year going forward is extremely bright having regard to good sales achieved in both the large projects viz., "Abode Valley" and "The Central Park South". Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company will achieve its highest turnover for the year ending March, 2011. The profitability of the operations also will be the highest ever achieved and this is based on completed sales as on the date of this report.

"Abode Valley" - Affordable Segment:

The nightmares of cancellations reported last year are over and the first phase of "Abode Valley" is nearly fully sold while the response for the second phase which opened in April this year has been good. The whole of the second phase and part of the third phase would be offered for sale during the current year. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the sales of these phases should take place favourably with profitability being maintained since budgeted realizations are being achieved

PREMIUM SEGMENT:

"THE CENTRAL PARK SOUTH"

The third phase of "The Central Park" project was launched in November-December, 2009 and as of date, nearly 2/3rd of the project has been sold with large advances having been collected from the customers. The balance of about approximately 60 apartments would also be placed in the market in the next three to four months leading to full sales being achieved in respect of "The Central Park South". The Company has achieved an average realization in line with the budget and is likely to face a minor cost increase and also increased interest cost over budget in respect of land purchased. However, the bottom line should be in line with the expectations since the balance apartments to be sold will certainly achieve better realization, thereby augmenting the average realization.

LUXURY SEGMENTS:

The Company is implementing one luxury segment project in the city and is in the process of finalizing another property for development, to be offered as "Villas" in the near future. However, these are all small projects and more efforts are being put to identify a number of medium size lands in city for luxurious development preferably on a joint venture basis. These efforts will bear fruits soon, since the Company enjoys great reputation for fair play and style of developments in the city.

NON-RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT:

The Company completed all the non-residential projects in the previous year and has now re-organized a separate Division under the leadership of an experienced General Manager to take on in a focused manner the development and management of non-residential projects going forward. All the commercial properties owned by the Company have been leased on an extremely advantageous terms to select customers.

The Company is actively involved in the development of new commercial projects having aggregate area of 50,000 — 100,000 sq. ft. which it will own and lease for fixed income purposes.

DIVIDEND:

Your Directors recommended an interim dividend of Re. 1/- per share in view of the Silver Jubilee Year of the Company which was paid out in the month of January 2010. Your Directors are now pleased to recommend a further dividend of Re.1/- per equity share as a final dividend, taking the total distribution for the entire year at 100% of the paid up capital of the Company of Rs. 21- per share.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE:

In terms of the Scheme of Amalgamation sanctioned by the Honble High Court having Judicature at Chennai, the Authorised Capital of Lancor G:Corp Properties Limited, the Transferor Company stood combined with that of your Company. Consequently the Authorised Capital of the Company stands increased from Rs. 5.00 crores to Rs. 15.00 crores. The issued, subscribed and paid up Share Capital of the Company remained unchanged

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF YOUR COMPANY:

Your Company continues to be involved in constructing class rooms and other school related infrastructure to the under privileged sections of the society working along with the "Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Programme" and The Round Table India.
