MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the year under review, the Company earned an income of 7123.67 lacs primarily on account of interest income. After providing for Depreciation and Income Tax, the profit for the year under review after tax was 712.21 lacs.

OUTLOOK

Indian economy has had an estimated growth of 6.9% in 2011-12 as compared to the 8.4% in 2010-11. The manufacturing sector is likely to show a growth of only 3.9% in GDP during 2011-12 as against the growth of 7.6% in 2010-11. High inflation due to persistently high crude petroleum prices throughout the year played spoilsport, oscillating within a band of 8% to 9%. This led to several rounds of interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank to curb inflation and prevent overheating of the economy.

Continuing evil unrests in the Middle East and North Africa region and the Eurozone crisis continue to affect world economy. The Indian economy has also been affected due to these events but remains buoyant.

The risk remains in rising oil prices as also inflation and thus monetary tightening. However, there are also possible positives with revival in industrial and rural sector growth and continuing reforms. The medium to long-term growth prospects of the Indian economy remain positive.

The Company continues to explore various avenues and keep a close watch on the economic developments.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The Company has an appropriate system of internal control. The Company ensures adherence to internal control policies and procedures. Internal audit is conducted on a periodical basis to review internal controls. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors also reviews the reports of the internal audits conducted and the adequacy of internal control system.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL REVIEW:

During the year under review, the Company earned an income of Rs. 73.22 lacs primarily on account of interest income. After providing for Depreciation and Income Tax, the loss for the year under review after tax was Rs. 27.23 lacs as compared to a profit of Rs. 6.60 lacs in the previous year.

OUTLOOK:

The earthquake and Tsunami in Japan caused widespread destruction of property and life. Civil unrests in the Middle East and North Africa region continue to affect world economy. The Indian economy remains one of the fastest growing economies of the world and has emerged rapidly from the slowdown caused by the global financial crisis of 2008. After dipping to 6.8% in 2008-09, the GDP has recovered sharply to 8% and projected growth is likely to be strong with support from the agriculture sector due to expectation of good monsoon. High inflation has emerged as a significant risk factor in sustaining India's growth. Metal and commodity prices are on the higher side and have contributed to rising input costs for India. The risk remains in rising oil prices as also inflation and thus monetary tightening. However, there are also possible positives with revival in industrial and rural sector growth and continuing reforms. The Index of Industrial Production data suggests that though there have been a few hiccups in industry and manufacturing, the medium to long-term growth prospects of the Indian economy remain positive.

The Company continues to explore investment avenues and keep a close watch on the economic developments.
