REVIEW OF OPERATIONS & FUTURE OUTLOOK
During the year the Company carried on the activities of Investment,
development of Real Estate and Trading activities and has earned a
Profit before Tax but after Depreciation (PBT) of Rs.103.63 crores and
a net profit (PAT) of Rs.82.22 crores against a loss of Rs.11.77 crores
and Rs.11.83 crores in the previous year respectively. During the year
the Company has entered in a joint development agreement with Oswal
Agro Mills Ltd. for development of residential and commercial complexes
on their land situated at Chembur, Mumbai. This developmental activity
at Mumbai is likely to bring substantial gain to the company. The real
estate sector in India is growing by 10% annually and especially the
market in metro town of Mumbai and Delhi is growing at a rate that is
more than the annual growth rate for the industry.
There is shortage of natural resources across the globe and especially
in India and this area has always remained at the focus of your
company. There were efforts to purchase mining rights / mines of
natural resources like coal, iron, oil shells etc. continuously in past
few years by the management. Such efforts are continued with more
thrust on this sector. Outlook of the future in the above areas looks
quiet encouraging.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS & FUTURE OUTLOOK
During the year, the Company has suffered a loss of Rs.11.83 Crores due
to depressed market conditions in the real estate sector. The Company
continued to have a very cautious approach towards the real estate
sector. The general economic conditions have already started showing
signs of recovery, specially in the fertilizers sector where the
increasing demand from farmers and change in Government policy have
made this sector quite attractive.
Your company is trying to explore the possibility of setting up a
manufacturing facility in a country where the raw material for the
manufacture of Phosphoric Fertilizer is available. The demand for the
phosphoric fertilizers in the country has seen an increasing pattern
over the last five years and India is net importer of phosphoric
fertilizer. The past experience of your company proves that the
manufacturing facility for the Phosphoric Fertilizer must remain close
to the source of the raw material. I am happy to inform you that your
company is seriously negotiating with the Govt. of Syria to set up a
manufacturing facility with a tie up of raw material i.e. Rock
Phosphate through the wholly owned subsidiary company M/s Universal
Projects FZE and hopes to sign a MOU within a month.
With the Govt, changing the fertilizer policy and the demand for
fertilizers increasing every year, the future outlooks very bright.
SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
The company promoted M/S Oswal Engineering Ltd in UAE as wholly owned
subsidiary. The companys other subsidiary M/s Universal Projects FZE

negotiating to acquire raw materials to set up a phosphoric fertilizer
plant at Syria.
