The Company is a Non-Banking Financial Company and is engaged in NBFC activities. The loss before tax
for the year is Rs. 7.27 lakhs as compared with the last year figure of profit before tax of Rs. 2.19 lakhs.
With view of brought forward losses, your Directors have not recommended any Dividend.
The Company operates in the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) segment of Industry and is
registered with the Reserve Bank of India. Its activities are limited within India and are mainly
engaged in the business of providing Loans and making Investment in Shares and Securities. The
performance and business strategy are dependent on the Economic environment and policies of the
Government of India and Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
One of the significant opportunities for NBFCs is the increasing demand for credit in the Indian
market. NBFCs can leverage this opportunity by expanding their offerings and catering to the diverse
needs of their customers.
While NBFCs are relatively well placed today as compared with the past few years, competition from
banks and the rising interest rate scenario pose challenges. Competition from banks has intensified,
especially in the traditional segments.
Based on the synergies, risks and return associated with the business operations and in terms of IND
AS-108, the Company is engaged in a single reportable segment of Non-Banking Financial Company
during the year and hence treated as single reportable segment as per IND AS-108.
The Company continues to concentrate on finance and investment activities. Each financial
intermediary will have to find its niche in order to add value to consumers. The Company is cautiously
optimistic in its outlook for the year 2024-2025.
The performance of the Company is closely linked with the overall performance of the Indian
Economy, Financial and Capital Markets. The future success of the Company depends on its ability to
anticipate volatility in Capital and Financial Markets and minimise related risks through prudent
investing decisions. Hence, the Management regularly monitors the changing Economic and Market
conditions in order to take timely and prudent business decisions. Any slowdown in the Indian
economy or volatility in the Financial and/or Capital markets could adversely affect the performance
of the Company.
The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls to ensure that all activities are
monitored and controlled against any unauthorized use or disposition of assets and that the
transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. The Company ensures adherence to
all internal control policies and procedures as well as compliance with all regulatory guidelines. The
Audit Committee periodically reviews Policies and adequacy of internal controls.
The Company considers its human resource as the most valuable ingredient of the functioning of the
Company and utmost endeavour is made to maintain good relation with the employees at all levels.

Education and Protection Fund under Section 125(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.

said provisions are not applicable to the Company.
As the paid-up Equity Share Capital of the Company is less than Rs. 10 Crores and its Networth is less than
