2. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS

The Company's operations resulted in a gross profit of Rs.59.53 lacs as against Rs. 23.15 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depre ciation of Rs. 6.28 lacs (previous year Rs. 5.97 lacs) and making net provision for taxation of Rs. 15.67 lacs (Previous year Rs. 4.12 lacs) the Company has earned a net profit of Rs.37.58 lacs as against net pro fit of Rs.13.06 lacs in the previous year.

The year gone by has been good, both for our company and the stock mark ets. The general elections held last year has brought about renewed hope,optimism and great expectations from the new government at the cent er. We have also witnessed a large inflow of funds from overseas by both Foreign Institutional Investors and Non Resident Indians.

We have seen an improvement in the company's profits over the previous year and given the overall buoyancy in the stock markets, we expect the overall performance to remain strong in the current fiscal too.While it will be difficult to expect the market to perform as well as it did last year, we do expect the sentiment to remain bullish and trading activity to improve further.

Our Indian economy is faced with some challenges, with the demand being subdued and forecasts for the monsoon being less than the normal rainfa ll.However,we feel that the government will continue to take steps that will eventually lead to a pick up in the overall economy, which in turn would lead to better GDP numbers. We expect the interest rates and infl ation to be lower. We also expect the government to doi ts part in redu cing the fiscal deficit through measures of disinvestment and tightening of expenditure. Such measures will sendout all the right signals to the investors and would help in keeping the overall sentiment positive in the stock markets.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS:

The Company''s operations resulted in a gross profit of Rs.23.15 lacs against Rs. 72.37 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation of Rs.5.97 lacs (previous year Rs. 8.18 lacs) and making net provision for taxation of Rs.4.12 lacs. (Previous year Rs 20.50 lacs) the Company has earned a net profit of Rs.13.06 lacs as against net profit of Rs. 43.70 lacs in the previous year.

It was another difficult year for the stock markets. For the first 11 months, the markets were driven by only a few stocks in the defensive sectors of Information Technology, FMCG and Pharmaceuticals. In fact, when the markets corrected in August last year, we witnessed many of the mid-cap and small cap stocks breaking their 2008-09 lows. However, from March this year we have seen a rebound and renewed hope and optimism in the markets.

The market is now in the midst of a good bull run with great expectations from the new government. Given that the new government has a clear majority, we expect that the new government will be able to pass more reforms that will overall benefit the economy and the stock markets. We feel that there will be focus on growth, job creation and infrastructure spending. There will be renewed focus on PSU companies and many will be revived that are struggling and thus we expect these stocks to do well too.

This fiscal year has started on a positive note for the company. We expect to do much better this year both in terms of revenue and profit growth. We continue to look at ways to reduce costs and we remain committed to our shareholders. We are optimistic that the markets will have a good year ahead and overall the outlook remains

positive for the next 6-8 quarters. There will be possible hurdles such as weak monsoon but we are hopeful that good and sound economic decisions will be taken by the government to bring down Inflation and Interest rates efforts to improve our performance going forward.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS:

The Company''s operations resulted in a gross profit of Rs.72.37 lacs against Rs. 313.98 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation of Rs.8.18 lacs (previous year Rs. 7.39 lacs ) and making net provision for taxation of Rs.20.50 lacs. (Previous year Rs 54.44 lacs) the Company has earned a net profit of Rs.43.70 lacs as against net profit of Rs. 252.15 lacs in the previous year. The results are not comparable due to a sale of an asset in the previous financial year.

The last financial year was an up and down one for the stock markets. After trading in a range for the first half of 2012, we witnessed a strong rally in the equity markets till the end of January 2013. After reaching 6100 levels on the Nifty, we again witnessed a correction where we saw sharp erosion in stock prices of midcaps and small cap companies. The broking business remains competitive and challenging as mutual funds continue to witness redemption pressures, which has translated to a drop in overall volumes.

There was hope in the period from September last year to January 2013. The government had kicked started the reforms process as it passed FDI in Retail and Aviation. Inflation also started to cool off and thus RBI has obliged with three rate cuts in a row. Although, we have elections next year, it was encouraging to see the government bite the bullet and increase both petrol and diesel prices. Optimism was evident in the market and there was a sense of belief that the government would be able to control the Current Account Deficit and also GDP would be back above 6% after some dismal numbers in the last few quarters.

However, some of the optimism appears to be fading away as the continuous exposure of scams is once again hurting sentiment. The political situation also appears shaky and the fear of a fractured coalition government will continue to haunt the markets going forward. Although we expect a tough road ahead, we remain dedicated and committed to all our shareholders. We will continue with our sincere efforts to improve our performance going forward.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS:

The Company's operations resulted in a gross profit of Rs.313.98 lacs against Rs. 60.87 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation of Rs.7.39 lacs (previous year Rs. 8.92 lacs ) and making net provision for taxation of Rs.54.44 lacs, (previous year Rs. 14.23 lacs) the Company has earned a net profit of Rs.252.15 lacs as against net profit of Rs. 37.72 lacs in the previous year.

The last financial year has been a difficult one for our equity markets. The markets started to correct in January of 2011 and we saw a slide through the year till December. Although we witnessed a brief rally in January/February 2012, we have once again seen the resumption of the down trend. Mutual funds continue to witness redemption pressures, which has translated to a drop in overall volumes.

The main concern this year has been the sharp and sudden depreciation in the Indian Rupee. While part of this could be due to the problems in Europe, the main concern remains our own policy paralysis. The government needs to act swiftly and thus tough decisions need to be taken to avoid an economic catastrophe. We have a serious ballooning fiscal deficit and very high Inflation. Corporate India has seen a sharp drop in profits due to rising input costs and in addition, the currency loss is hurting companies that have borrowed funds overseas.

We expect the rest of the year to be challenging and we could face a bumpy road ahead. The sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone only appears to be getting deeper and it would take a while for them to solve the same. As far as India is concerned, the risk of early elections remain which would be an overhang for the markets. Although we expect a tough road ahead, we remain dedicated and committed to all our shareholders. We will continue with our sincere efforts to improve our performance going forward.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS:

The Company’s operations resulted in a gross profit of Rs. 60.87 lacs against Rs. 134.11 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation of Rs. 8.92 lacs (previous year Rs. 9.23 lacs ) and making net provision for taxation of Rs. 14.23 lacs. (Previous year Rs. 62.58 lacs) the Company has earned a net profit of Rs. 37.72 lacs as against net profit of Rs. 62.29 lacs in the previous year.

The markets did rally till Diwali last year, post which we witnessed a correction. However, the company saw a drop both in revenues and profits. This can be attributed to an overall drop in trading volumes and also an increase in employee costs. While markets rallied, mutual funds continued to witness redemption pressures and thus that led to a drop in volumes. In addition, brokerage rates continue to fall and also competition continues to rise.

Another significant shift in trading pattern has been witnessed in the past few months where most traders have moved their focus from trading futures to trading in options. Here, the brokerage revenues are lower which has also resulted to an overall dip in revenues. As has well been documented recently, overall Inflation in India has been rising at a fast pace. Thus, the company too has seen a steady rise in expenses.

The environment remains challenging and given the rising Interest rates and high input costs due to higher global commodity prices, we expect some head winds for the financial markets in the current year. We hope that the markets will see out this rough patch and look up towards the latter part of the on going fiscal year. Although we expect a tough road ahead, we remain dedicated and committed to all our shareholders. We will continue with our sincere efforts to improve our performance going forward.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS:

The Companys operations resulted in a gross profit of Rs.134.11 lacs against Rs. 51.34 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation of Rs.9.23 lacs (previous year Rs. 11.03 lacs ) and making net provision for taxation of Rs.62.58 lacs. (Previous year Rs 10.20 lacs) the Company has earned a net profit of Rs.62.29 lacs as against net profit of Rs. 30.11 lacs in the previous year.

The higher profit of more then 100% as compared to the profit from the previous year is largely due to increase in the stock market activities, which has led to an increase in the brokerage business.

The Indian markets have had a great run in the financial year 2009-2010. The sensex has more than doubled from the lows of 2008. The GDP growth is back on track and hopefully we can achieve 8-10% in the years to come. In addition, the success of the 3G & Broadband auctions have been a welcome gift for the Government which will also help in reducing the fiscal deficits.

The headwinds and challenges in the current year include the local inflation and the ongoing soverign debt crisis in Europe. As far as inflation goes, the Govt. is taking necessary measures to bring down the same. However, the European crisis, if deepens further, could bring a halt to the ongoing global recovery and thus that could be the major hurdle for our own markets in this year.

Your Directors have the pleasure to inform you that since the past few years our effort and commitment have been successful in procuring steady Institutional clientele business. Our full-fledged institutional trading desk has grown and we expect the same to continue in the coming years.
