C. Current YearÃs Operation:
The year 2009-2010 has witnessed revival of the real estate industry in
India. Barring certain patches of commercial segment, the revival is
almost complete.
Economy, in general, is upbeat. Consequently, demand for real estate
space, both residential & commercial, has risen. Inflation in the
economy, however, has raised its ugly head & is in double digits, which
is unbearable in the long run. Price of necessary agricultural
commodities in particular have risen too sharply, which has the
potential to destabilize the society.
Your Company, during the year, has achieved Sales & other Income of
Rs.2711.67 Lacs & Net Profit of Rs.396.87 Lacs as against Rs.8774.94
Lacs and Rs.1449.65 Lacs, respectively, in the previous year.
Your Company has received the balance sale proceeds of Prime Square
Project, Goregaon (West) & compensation for transfer of development
right of the Down Town Mall project, Hughes Road. Hughes Road project
was a commercial project structurally almost complete as per
development agreement between the three partners. Differences arose
when it was sought to be changed into a residential project by
demolishing the entire construction. This was viewed as not in the
Companys interest. Hence your Company opted out.
Construction activities at the ongoing Prime Mall Project Pimpri, Pune,
has progressed well during the year. The Phase- 1(Anchor Shop) of the
project is ready for fitÃout and negotiations to lease it out are on.
In Phase -2(Mall/Multiplex), finishing activities are in full swing.
The Company has also commenced a new commercial project at Vile-Parle
(W) on land that was already acquired.
State Bank of India has in June 2010, granted a loan to the Company for
part financing the above two projects against mortgage / hypothecation
charges & on terms and conditions that have been found acceptable to
the Board of Directors of your Company.
D. Future Prospects:
Your Company, at present, has on-going projects at Pune & Vile Parle
(West). While Pune Project is expected to be completed by this
year-end, the Vile Parle project is scheduled for completion in the
first half of the year 2011-2012.
Both these projects are expected to bring good returns.
Your Directors are, therefore confident of a fairly good performance,
in future.

Act, 1956, with respect to Directorsà Responsibility Statement, it is
