REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE
During the year under review, the overall performance of the company
was reasonable considering to the sector/market conditions.
During the year under review, Members will notice that the revenues
have marginally declined by 1.80 % to Rs. 3038.62 crores from Rs. 3094.25
crores of the previous year 2011-12, while the Profit before Tax
decreased by 57.53% to Rs. 90.64 crores from Rs. 213.40 crores achieved in
the previous year 2011-12.
The profit after tax decreased by 58.28% to Rs. 59.93 crores from Rs.
143.68 crores reported in the previous year. The earnings per share was
Rs. 10.48 as compared to Rs. 25.12 in the previous year 2011-12.
During the year under review, your Company was awarded projects
totalling to Rs. 1,251 crores across all verticals, with the result the
order book at year end stood at a healthy Rs. 11,963 Crores as compared
to previous year end order book balance of Rs. 13,703 crores
OUTLOOK
A much greater emphasis on infrastructure is expected in the Twelfth
Plan. The construction industry needs to focus on enhancing its
capacity on one hand, and improving project delivery on the other. The
Planning commission pegs the gap in the delivery capacity of the
construction industry at 45-50 per cent. Given an average investment of
about Rs. 10 trillion in infrastructure per year in the Twelfth Plan, the
investment in the construction industry is estimated at about Rs. 6.2
trillion annually (at a 62 per cent weighted average factor of
construction activity in infrastructure). The Planning Commission
estimates the current delivery capacity of the Indian construction
industry at Rs. 4.15 trillion per annum. Thus, the total additional
investment required by the construction industry per year is Rs. 2.1
trillion.
The negative effects of global recessionary conditions are being
attenuated by various countries through huge investments in
infrastructure and India is no exception in this regard. The key to
global competitiveness of the Indian economy lies in building world
class infrastructure with service delivery at economical rates.
As infrastructure investments are sluggish, construction industry is
facing demand pressure. Order execution remains slow due to weak
macroeconomic environment and delays in government clearances, shifting
of utilities, etc. the financial profile of construction companies has
also deteriorated in the last few years owing to poor profitability and
increase in BOT exposure.
The strong order book position coupled with thrust given by the
government for infrastructure sector augurs well for company, being one
of the leading companies in infrastructure development. The company is
recognised for its well organised and timely completion of projects
with quality consciousness. Ramky Infra is exploring international
business opportunities to scale up its business in the years to come.
A harmonised list of main sectors and sub-sectors of infrastructure
approved by government to serve as a guide for all agencies responsible
for supporting infrastructure is a welcome move.
DIVIDEND
Although your Company has earned profits during the year, the Board of
Directors have decided to plough back the profits into the Company.
Therefore, your Directors have not recommended any dividend for the FY
2012-13.
TRANSFER TO RESERVES

REPLIES TO AUDITORS REPORT
With reference to observations made in Auditor's Report, the notes of
account is self-explanatory and therefore do not call for any further
comments.
The results for the year ended March 31, 2012 have been subjected to an
audit by the Statutory Auditors of the Company. A qualified report has
been issued by them thereon on account of taxes for earlier years being
directly debited to the surplus in statement of profit and loss account
balance under "Reserves and Surplus" rather than debiting these amounts
to the statement of profit and loss account for the year ended March
31, 2012 as required by Accounting Standard-5 "Net Profit or Loss for
the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies" and
the consequent impact on the earnings per share for the year ended
March 31, 2012.
The Company has claimed deduction under Section 80-IA (4) of Income Tax
Act, 1961 in its returns of income relating to assessment years 2003-04
to 2011-12. However, the Department contested the same on the grounds
that the Company was not "developing" the infrastructure facility and
disallowed the deduction for assessment years 2003-04 to 2009-10. The
Company filed appeal against these orders with CIT (Appeals), of which
the appeals with respect to assessment years 2003-2004 to 2008-2009
were dismissed. The Company has filed an appeal with Income Tax
Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) for these years, which is currently pending.
The Company is contending its case before the appropriate appellate
authorities, however the Company notwithstanding the fact that its
position in the matter is strong on merits has based on an internal
assessment and various factors such as industry practice, legal counsel
advice etc, has provided for the total deductions under the said
section and for the assessment years 2003-04 to 2011-12. As this
provision relates to taxes for earlier years the same has been directly
debited to the surplus in statement of profit and loss account balance
under "Reserves and Surplus" for the year ended March 31, 2012. Further
we wish to state that the company has not claimed any deduction on
account of the aforesaid Section in the current year
