Loss for the year (199.35) (21.75)
During the year the Company has suffered loss of Rs.38.91 lakhs, before
provision of depreciation and the tax as against loss of Rs. 17.72
lakhs for the previous year. Loss after provision of depreciation of
Rs.1.22 lakhs (previous year Rs.4.03 lakhs), but before tax works out
to Rs.40.13 lakhs as against loss of Rs.21.75 lakhs for the previous
year. After provision for Income Tax of past years amounting to
Rs.159.22 lakhs, loss for the year after depreciation and Tax works out
to Rs.199.35 lakhs. There was no Income Tax liability in the previous
year.
During the year under report the long pending company's applications to
The Income Tax Settlement Commission for the accounting years ending
31st March, 1993,31st March, 1994 and 31st March 1996 were heard and
disposed off. As per final order received, Income Tax payable
ascertained worked out to Rs.159.22 Lakhs. Company has made provision
for the same in the current year. Due to this provision of tax for
earlier years, the loss for the year is very high.
In view of the loss incurred during the year, no dividend is
recommended.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Affairs of the Company were carried out on most economical scale and
the expenses were contained to remain minimal.
As informed in the earlier years, Company had pending disputed Income
Tax demands. Most significant event during the year was disposal of our
long pending applications to settlement commission mentioned above. At
the request of the company, The Income Tax Settlement Commission
granted six monthly installments starting from mid November, 2011 to
mid April, 2012 for making payment of Tax amount of Rs. 159.22 lakhs.
As the income of the company has not been sufficient for past some
years, shortfall in funds for Income Tax as well as day to day expenses
were met out of, inter-corporate deposit (I.C.D.) placed by the
company. To meet further shortfall in funds, at company's request,
Premier Ltd., the promoters have advanced required amounts from time to
time to the company to pay remaining installments of income tax as well
to meet the day to day expenses of the company. As at 31st March, 2012
outstanding to Premier Ltd. on this account amounted to Rs. 101.57
lakhs.
Despite the Company's persistent efforts on recovery of the old dues,
the Company has not been able to achieve the desired results due to
slow process of the legal system required to be followed. Efforts on
recovery front are continued.
Due to provision of Tax for earlier years and there being accumulated
loss of past years the net worth at the end of the year is negative.
However, with the settlement of Income Tax case, now it is possible to
carve out a road map for future prosperity of the company.
RESTRUCTURING OF EQUITY SHARE CAPITAL -
As at 31st March, 2012 the equity capital of the company is fully
eroded and net worth of the company is negative. It is necessary to
restructure the capital of the company so as to make possible infusion
of fresh capital in the company required for reviving the operations of
the company and put the company back into normal business operations.
As a first step towards this, your directors propose to reduce the face
value of equity share from Rs. 10 per equity share to Re. 1 per equity
share. This will result into reduction in share capital from Rs. 2160
lakhs to Rs. 216 lakhs. Reduction of capital by Rs. 1944 lakhs, will be
adjusted against the accumulated loss. To augment cash flows for normal
business operations as well as to achieve positive net worth, company
plans for rising further capital, by way of a right issue or otherwise.
A special resolution proposed for reduction of capital is included in
the Notice of 50th Annual General Meeting of the members of the
company.
FUTURE BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Your directors are determined and have decided to remain in NBFC
business and to do whatever is necessary for that. The above steps will
help the company in resuming NBFC Business. In the continuously growing
economy NBFC Business has its own prime place. Your directors feel that
the present set back in economy of the country is temporary and
country's economy will continue to prosper in the long run. Your
directors therefore are positive and confidant that your company's (a
listed NBFC), future business prospects are promising.

During the year the Company has suffered loss, before provision of

the previous year. After provision of depreciation of Rs.4.03 lakhs on
account of change of depreciation method, loss before tax works out to
Rs.21.75 lakhs as against loss of Rs. 29.38 lakhs for the previous
year.
In view of the loss incurred during the year, no dividend is
recommended.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Company continued to carry out its activity on most economical
scale and expenses are contained to the bare minimum required.
Depending upon the progress of recoveries and availability of funds,
Company shall undertake more business activities in future.
Pending disputed income tax demands, which are being contested, the
Company is unable to raise any funds. Limited funds available with the
Company are placed as Inter- corporate deposit. Companys routine
expenses, legal expenses related to recovery disputes and income tax
matters are to be met from this interest income and recoveries of old
dues. As this income is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the
Company, short fall in funds is required to be met by withdrawing the
amount from the Inter-corporate deposit placed. This in turn results in
reduction in interest income further. This is adversely affecting the
bottom-line of the Company.
Despite the Companys persistent efforts on recovery front during the
year, the Company has not been able to achieve the desired results, due
to slow process of the legal system required to be followed. Efforts on
recovery front are still continued.
The Company continues to have positive net worth at the end of the
year.
TAXATION
Income Tax Assessment of the Company are completed upto the Financial

during the previous year. A refund of Rs. 0.02 lakh was received from
fringe benefit tax paid in a past year. The loss for the year after the
above adjustments amounts to Rs. 29.37 lakhs as against loss of Rs.
39.38 lakhs for the previous year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Pending disputed income tax demands, which are being contested, the
Company is unable to raise any funds. Limited funds available with the
Company are placed as inter-corporate deposit. Companys routine
expenses, legal expenses related to recovery disputes and income tax
matters are to be met from this interest income and recoveries of old
dues. As this income is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the
Company, short fall is required to be drawn from the amount placed as
Inter- corporate deposit and it will result in further reduction in
interest income. This is adversely affecting the interest income and in
turn bottomline of the Company.
Despite the Companys persistent efforts on recovery front, during the
year, the Company has not been able to achieve the desired results due
to slow process of the legal system required to be followed. Efforts on
recovery front are still continued.
The Company continued to carry out its activity on most economical
scale and expenses are contained to the bare minimum required.
Depending upon the progress of recoveries and availability of funds,
company shall undertake more business activities in future.
Company also tried to explore possibility of entering in field of
financial business services without involving any substantial capital
investment. However, this could not be progressed.
The Company continues to have positive net worth at the end of the
year.

unclaimed and unpaid for 7 years after their maturity are transferred,
to Investors Education & Protection Fund as required under Sec. 205C
of the Companies Act, 1956. During the year accordingly Rs. 40,358/-

entire amount kept in Escrow Account has been withdrawn either to pay
