Transfer to General Reserve 15.20 21.00
Earnings per Share (Rs.) 4.53 6.21
OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS:
Current year being one almost free of Dengue & Malaria cases resulted
in lower bed utilisation, lower pharmacy as well as investigations
compared to previous year when it was of epidemic proportions. This
resulted in lack of revenue growth in all the three divisions of the
Company namely N G Medicare & Calcutta Hope Infertility Clinic, N G
Nursing Home and N G Pharmacy .High Inflation and slower growth of the
economy in general, compounded with increased competition in the sector
also posed challenges to the Company.
Higher Interest & Depreciation due to investment in new premises
leading to higher utilisation of Bank credit as well as introduction of
VAT on Pharmacy & other Sales and consequent assessed liability for
past period has affected profits for the year. Service Tax on reverse
charge basis introduced late last year also increased costs.
Inflationary pressures and economic slowdown raised employee costs for
service sector companies like us. Enhanced Food coupons provided to
employees as well as significant higher provisions towards Gratuity
Fund contributions to LIC have raised employee costs during the year.
The Company relocated its Registered Office to its own newly acquired
premises from April onwards. Company continues to meet the challenges
and expects to perform well in the coming year.
