During the financial year under review, the Company''s total Revenue is Rs. 4949 Lakhs as against Rs. 4925 Lakhs in the previous year. Net profit after providing for depreciation and taxation stood at Rs. 840 Lakhs as against Rs. 561 Lakhs last year. This increase in profit is attributed as no major repair and maintenance undertaken as compared to previous year and also on account of decrease in expenses for salary and wages mainly due to excess turnover of staff in management and non management cadres.

1. OUTLOOK

Goa has registered guest arrival of 27.8 lakhs in 2012 - 13 including 4.5 lakhs foreigners as against 26.7 lakhs is 2011-12 including 4.45 lakhs foreigners showing growth of 4.4 % in the arrival.

More international brand hotels have come up in the 3 - 5 star levels increasing the room base. More hotels are likely to open around Panaji with a rise in the Casino business (off shore).

The premium (5-star and 5-star deluxe) hotels industry can experience tough times with profitability likely to suffer due to a fall in occupancy as well as room rates and rising costs of airfare and travels across India. Clients still find Asian and European destinations cheaper than Goa. Euro Zone crisis will continue to affect the foreign business. On other hand with dollar getting stronger there can be an increase in the domestic traffic.

Rising costs will add to the pressure on profitability. A shortage of personnel will increase employee costs, whereas energy costs are also expected to rise significantly.

There is a need for the Government to prioritise building infra- structure traffic and reduce fiscal burdens on tourism to raise the potential of Goan tourism business.

It will be a continuous endeavor from management to keep innovating to reduce costs and raise profit margins to keep the product upgraded, contemporary and people to be updated in their training skills.

Key Risks:

a) Terrorism acts: Due to the unrest all over the world on account of terrorism, many countries issued travel warnings to their citizens, advising them against traveling to India. Considering the elasticity of demand in this industry, such acts of terrorism impact the sentiments and inflow of tourists into the country.

b) Competition from South Asian countries: Many South Asian countries are now consciously trying to increase their tourism activities by offering world-class facilities at highly competitive prices. These destinations pose threat to the Goan leisure hotels.

c) Employees Hiring & Training: Because of high employee turnover, it becomes imperative to train the personnel to attain required skill. This is being continuous process, the Company expects lot of pressure on hiring & training human resource resulting into rise in cost.

2. DIVIDEND

Your Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of 10% which is Re. 1/- per equity share on the face value of Rs. 10/- each.

3. AUDITORS

Auditors of the company, M/s. H. K. Aparanji, will retire as auditors of the Company and being eligible offers themselves for re-appointment.

5. TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION

The Company being in the hospitality industry, technology developments connected with industry are adopted.

6. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

Solar Panels are used for generating hot water consumed by the Central kitchen thereby reducing the diesel consumption of the main boiler. Wherever feasible, the incandescent lamps have been replaced by CFL''s. We are also aiming at the next stage of going for LED Lighting in phases.

During the Financial year under review, the Companys total revenue was Rs. 4248 lakhs which represents decrease of 5% compared to the previous year Rs. 4453 lakhs. The operating profit for the year is Rs.1351 lakhs as against Rs. 1370 lakhs previous year. The revenue is down by 203 lakhs profit has come down by 19 lakhs. This indicates overall better cost control.

OUTLOOK:

Overall business environment in the country has been changing. Along with this, the Goan hotel industry is also witnessing emergence of few key trends:

1. Domestic travellers: Domestic travellers have long been ignored by the hotels in Goa. With lower propensity to spend, they bargain hard. In the past few years, their perception of money is, however, undergoing a tectonic shift with rise in the educated, middle class with disposable incomes. This, in turn, is driving domestic tourism in Goa for the last two years and is likely to rise by 12% this year too. This segment will remain to be the best contributor of occupancies and average revenues.

2. Emerging MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) and Destination weddings opportunity: Convention or meetings or destination weddings accounts for over 30% of our occupancies. A well planned strategy has been put in place to tap these clients. The average spend of these clients can sometimes be more than a FIT segment (Foreign Individual Travellers).

3. Key Risks

1. Terrorism acts: Following the event of 26/11, many countries issued travel warnings to their citizens, advising them against traveling to India. Considering the elasticity of demand in this industry, such acts of terrorism impact the sentiments and inflow of tourists into the country.

2. Competition from South Asian countries: Many South Asian countries are now consciously trying to increase their tourism activities by offering world-class facilities at highly competitive prices. These destinations pose threat to the Goan leisure hotels.

3. Employee cost: Employee cost is the largest cost component in the overall cost structure. With more 2 additional 5 star hotels in Goa (Hyatt and Radisson) we expect a lot of pressure on hiring and retaining trained manpower.

2 DIVIDEND

Your Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of 15% which is Rs. 1.5 per equity share of the face value of Rs. 10/- each.

3. AUDITORS

Auditors of the company, M/s. H. K. Aparanji, will retire as auditors of the Company and being eligible offers themselves for re-appointment.

As regards comments of the Auditors in the annexure to their report, note 8 of notes forming part of Accounts is self explanatory.

4. FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUT GO

As required under Section 217 (1) (e) of the Companies Act, 1956 read with Rule 2 of the Companies (Disclosures of particulars in the report of Board of Directors) Rules 1988, the information relating to foreign exchange earnings and outgo is given in the Notes to the Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet.

5. TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION :

The Company being in the hospitality industry, technology developments connected with industry are adopted. Latest highly efficient centrifugal chiller for central air condi- tioning of the Hotel has been installed in 2009 replacing the earlier unit with high power consumption.

6. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

Solar Panels are used for generating hot water consumed by the Central kitchen thereby reducing the diesel consumption of the main boiler.

Wherever feasible, the incandescent lamps have been replaced by CFLs. We are also aiming at the next stage of going for LED Lighting in phases.

7. PARTICULARS OF EMPLOYEES

None of the employees are covered by the provisions contained under Section 217 (2A) of the Companies Act, 1956 read with the Companies (Particulars of Employees) Rules, 1975.

a. In the preparation of the annual accounts the applicable accounting standards have been followed along with proper explanations relating to material departure;

b. The Directors had selected such accounting policies and applied them consistently and made judgment and estimates that are reasonable and prudent so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2010 and of the profit of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2010.

c. The Directors had taken proper and sufficient care for the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act,1956 for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraud and other irregularities; and

d. The Directors had prepared the annual accounts on a going concern basis.

10. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to Clause 49 of the Listing Agreements with Stock Exchanges a report on Corporate Governance along with Auditors Certificate on its compliance is annexed forming part of the Annual Report. Clause 40A of Listing Agreement mandates minimum 25% Public Shareholding.

Issue of new shares is not in the interest of existing share holders as company does not have new project or expansion where funds generated by issue of new shares can be invested. In this process share base will increase and EPS and Dividend rate will be diluted. Thus it is not in the interest of existing public share holders. Therefore promoter / Company decided to follow Delisting Regulation 2009 and give exit opportunity to public shareholders by opting voluntary delisting.

1. As required under Regulation 8(1) (a) Board of Directors passed resolution giving approval for delisting.

2. Approval of the share holders of the Company by Special Resolution through postal ballot was obtained.

Votes cast by public shareholders in favour of the proposal are less than two times the votes cast against it.

Company sought guidance from Bombay Stock Exchange as to how the fair value can be paid to the share holders who are willing to exist and delist the company.
