performance of the Company:

The turnover of your Company reduced to Rs.12582.45lacs as compared to Rs.15852.05 lacs for the year ended 31st March 2009. This was partly a management strategy coupled with some unforeseen hiccups.

Considering long term strategy and prospects, the management had refrained from taking up any major new projects unless the existing non remunerative contracts were completed. The objective was to complete the existing projects, some of which were started when the petroleum and steel prices were low and had no built in escalation clause. The management has made it a policy to include the escalation clause in all new projects being taken up. Accordingly no new major contracts were started during the year 2009-10.

Major works like recarpeting of runway at Cochin International Airport Ltd., Bus Rapid Transit system of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, Airport work at MIDC Nanded, Concretisation of roads at New Mangalore Port Trust were completed in the third and fourth quarters of the year. After this there was natural delay in demobilisation and transportation of machinery and equipments to new sites.

There was some delay by the Govt of Tamilnadu for making available the land for widening of roads of TNRDC projects.

There were unseasonal rains in Chennai where the majority of new works were being executed. Usually in Chennai the heavy rainfall occurs in October- November whereas in 2009, the rains continued to play havoc from July to December 2009

The profit went down to Rs. 367.12lacs from Rs.389.13lacs for the year ended 31st March 2009. This was mainly because of the lower turnover and fixed overheads.

Future prospects

Your directors see a very bright future for the Company. The Company has been quoting aggressively for new projects during the last few months. We have already bagged orders worth Rs.200 Cr. in the first two months. This new transformation will bear fruits from the second half of the financial year.

Capital and finance:

After the successful completion of the IPO, the Company did not raise any further funds from the capital market. The Company retained the same borrowing facilities with our bankers, i.e. Vijaya Bank. Apart from this we have taken temporary working capital demand loan from Yes Bank.
