The Company had made provision of Rs. 238.00 Lacs of diminution in value of investment made with Light Work LLC an overseas Company on account of diminution in the book value of the Share of Light Work LLC. The Company has also written off the advances of Rs. 45.00 Lacs in relation to advances given to one party. This has resulted into the loss of Rs. 223.21 Lacs during the year.

However, there is continuity in the profit of the Company from its operational activities. The diminution in the value of overseas investment is subject to necessary approval from the concerned authorities.

State of Company's Affairs and Future Outlook:

The income of the Company during the year was Rs. 4.17 Crores in comparison of Rs. 13.89 Crore in the previous year. The profitability of the Company from operational activities has decreased by 66.84% during the Financial Year 2014-2015. The Company continues the trading of Hot Rolled (Non-Alloy) Mild Steel Window sections and Angles. Major trading activities are relating to export in overseas market. The management is hopeful to enhance the trading activities in still better coming years.

The Company continues to be partner of LLPs. The operational activity has commenced and the management is confident in achieving higher amount of profits in current and upcoming years.

In view of the same, the management is of the opinion that:

1. Real estate as an attractive investment option

2. Improved real estate transparency levels

3. Wider option to choose from.

4. Availability of high-quality residential formats.

5. Competitive home loan rates.

6. Flexible home loan financing-EMI holiday by developers.

7. Increased NRI buyer interests

And exactly for such reasons residential offerings have evolved to accommodate concepts of themed projects, designer homes, green homes etc. Today people want to live, work, play entertain, be entertained, flaunt, relax, rejuvenate, study, exercise when it comes to 'where' they stay. In order to bring the construction quality at par with the global standards, developer have introduced contemporary technologies such as Mivan and PERT to their construction. The advanced technologies have not only reduced the cost of construction, but also brought down construction turnaround time significantly in the recent past. There has been greater awareness about green building construction in the last decade. All these above factors will not only improve the performance of Company but will consequently help in increasing the net worth of Stakeholders. However the Management is concerned about the increase in Service Tax apart, from this the prices of raw material;cement etc. may affect the margin of the Company.

Dividend:

Due to Loss during the year no Dividend is recommended by the Board for the Financial Year ended on 31st March, 2015.

The Company has started the activities as per the new Object clause duly amended by the Stakeholders.

Despite the compulsive economics and political climate, added with the fact that real estate is predominantly a state subject, the Union Budget 2012-13 has atleast shown the intent to accept the real estate and infrastructure as a priority sector.

In view of the same, the management is of the opinion that:

I n order to bring the construction quality at par with the global standards, developer have introduced contemporary technologies such as Mivan and PERT to their construction.

2. OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS:

The turnover of the company during the year was Rs 249.25 Lacs in comparison of Rs 395.24 Lacs in the previous year.

The Company continues the trading of Mild Steel Window section and Angles. Major trading activities are relating to export in overseas market. The management is hopeful to enhance the trading activities in coming years.

The Company has now entered into two more LLPs (Limited Liabilities Partnerships) as partner besides Avkar Group. The LLPs are engaged in construction of residential flats and tenements. These partnerships have already acquired land and have started development of the properties. Thay are hopeful to complete some projects by the end of 2013 & some projects by the next accounting year. The company has earned Rs. 287.90 Lacs profit as our share from the partnerships.

Despite the compulsive economics and political climate, added with the fact that real estate is predominantly a state subject, the Union Budget 2012-13 has atleast shown the intent to accept the real estate and infrastructure as a priority sector.

In view of the same, the management is of the opinion that:

1. Real estate as an attractive investment option

2. Improved real estate transparency levels

3. Wider option to choose from.

4. Availability of high-quality residential formats.

5. Competitive home loan rates.

6. Flexible home loan financing-EMI holiday by developers.

7. Increased NRI buyer interests

And exactly for such reasons residential offerings have evolved to accommodate concepts of themed projects, designer homes, green homes etc. Today people want to live, work, play entertain, be entertained, flaunt, relax, rejuvenate, study, exercise when it comes to 'where' they stay.

In order to bring the construction quality at par with the global standards, developer have introduced contemporary technologies such as Mivan and PERT to their construction. The advanced technologies have not only reduced the cost of construction, but also brought down construction turnaround time significantly in the recent past. There has been greater awareness about green building construction in the late decade.

The above factors will not only improve the performance of Company but will consequently help in increasing the net worth of Stakeholders. However the Management is concerned about the increase in Service Tax apart from this the prices of raw material; cement etc may affect the margin of the Company.

The Company had invested about Rs. 4.56 Crore upto 31.03.2012 in Light Works LLC in Mongolia for carrying on mining activities.

3. DIVIDEND:

The Board recommend 10 % dividend on equity shares i.e. Rs. 1/- per share for the financial year ended 31 -03-2012.

4. DEPOSITORY SYSTEMS:

Your Company has entered into an agreement with the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and the Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). This enables you to hold your shares in a dematerialized form with either of these depositories.
