COMPANY PERFORMANCE
The total income for the year ended March 31,2010 from operations is
Rs. 3486 Lakhs; (Previous year Rs. 3939 Lakhs) which is lower than that
of the previous year by 11.52 %.
The above reduction indicates the recessional trends in the economy
that has affected the flow of tourists and reduction in the travel by
Corporates in India.
Though the companys performance during the year was lower than the
previous year, the profitability has considerably increased due to
strict cost control measures and closure of Loss making Units.
INDUSTRY SCENARIO, RISK FACTORS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
With the Global economic machinery almost stuttering to a halt during
the year 2009-10; the corporate world was engaged in cost cutting via
drastic cutbacks on non-essential expenses. The resultant drop in
corporate travel, coupled with the travel advisories following the
terror attacks and recession and threat of H1N1 Flu led to an adverse
effect on the industrys performance.
The slowdown in the tourism sector has had a cascading effect in the
hospitality industry with a decrease in the occupancy and Average Room
Rates. To combat the drop in revenue due to the global events,
stringent cost control measures with no compromise in quality were
implemented.
With demand having shrunk, hotels started competing aggressively to
capture more business and lure back their old loyalists, who had
shifted to lower category hotels because
of the sharp rise in Average Room Rates in the previous few years. At
the same time, reservations lead times had diminished considerably and
were severely impacting room inventory management.
When compared to the previous year, the current year (2010-11)
performance has improved considerably and the economy seems picking up
and the result is improving in occupancy rates and increase in the
Average Room Rates. This is a positive sign and we hope the economy
will improve during the current financial year. Constant efforts are
made to upgrade the Hotel to attract the Foreign Tourists.
DIVIDEND
In recognition of the fact that economy is recovering and that tourism
growth is expected to continue, your Directors are pleased to recommend
a dividend of 12% (Rs.1.20 Ps. per Equity Share) for the year ended
March 31, 2010.
