2. DIVIDEND:
With a view to conserve the resources, your Directors do not recommend

3. OPERATIONS & FUTURE PROJECTS:
During the year under report, turnover has decreased from Rs.699.03
lacs to Rs. 491.74 lacs but the profit after tax has gone up from Rs.
6.72 lacs to Rs. 72.38 lacs. During the financial year 2012-13, the
Company adjusted Rs. 40.86 lakhs towards short provision for
depreciation for the earlier years which resulted in the meager profit
after tax. However, during the year under report, both Gross Profit and
Proft after Tax registered increase. Thanks to the Management''s
endeavor to improve the performance of the Company even during the slow
down phase in the Real Estate Sector.
At present, we have a scheme of plotting at Sarovar Village at Rethal
which is an oasis of tranquility and serenity; just a stone''s throw
away from Nal Sarovar Lake. Nal Sarovar Lake is India''s one of the
largest wetland bird sanctuaries. In spite of recession in the last
two years, we have received healthy bookings. Over two hundred sale
deeds have already been executed. Most of the plots have been given
water connection. 80 per cent of the plots'' fencing has been completed.
The work on streetlights and construction of roads is in progress and
it is likely to be completed by the end of current financial year.
We hope the buyers sitting at the fence will bounce back during the
coming festive season to uplift their sentiments, aroused by the
formation of NDA Government at the Centre headed by Narendra Modi.
We have leased out Greenwood Lake Resort and Club to Shangar
Hospitality with effect from June, 2013 at an annual rent of Rs. 1.75
crores. Till October, 2013, we received monthly rent regularly.
However, from November, 2013 onwards, Shangar Hospitality advised us to
kept on hold the cheques given by them towards monthly rent as they
have spent huge amount on repairs and renovation viz. Development
Expenses much against the provisions of Lease Deed and without any
consent from the Company.
As per Lease Agreement, we have agreed that in a span of 10 years,
Shangar Hospitality may incur Rs. 3.00 crores on renovations subject to
our written approval and the same would be repaid/adjusted from monthly
rentals in a phased manner during the tenure of lease i.e. in 10 years.
We gave sufficient time to Shangar Hospitality to come to the terms of
the Lease Deed. Since there was no response, we deposited the cheques
from November, 2013 onwards in our different bank accounts. However, we
did not receive the payment and the cheques were bounced back.
Therefore, we have filed a complaint u/s 138 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act. We have also given notice to Shangar Hospitality for
termination of lease w.e.f. 31.03.2014.
We have also applied to City Civil Court for arbitration vide
application No. 407 of 2014 u/s 9 of the Arbitration & Conciliation
Act, 1996 for recovery of outstanding rents and other payments and
handing over the possession of property to the Company.
FUTURE PROJECTS
TPM - 3 BHK Lake Side Resort Living Apartments with TOTAL PEACE OF MIND
We are planning to launch our exclusive and innovative, first of its
kind project in Ahmedabad. This is an ideal scheme for working couples,
senior citizens and NRI''s who come to their HOME LAND - India - for
peace and tranquility. The apartment scheme offers round the clock
services viz. housekeeping and cleaning, food, 24 hour in house cab
service, in house medical centre with 24 hours ambulance service and
above all, all the time security and surveillance.
We have applied for NA and it is expected that the same will be
received very shortly and we will commence the construction immediately
after getting all the required approvals from the respective
