Meadowsâ in Kota and other one in Jaipur named âPallaciaâ handed over with sellable area of over a Million
sqft and one is in planning stage at Mumbai with the total expected and assumed saleable/serviceable area 2.5
lac sqft (Omâs share). Considering that the reality market to do considerably well, the Company is all set to sale
the unsold inventory and achieve overall Rs>4 billion revenue and over 2 billion unrealized cash inflow from
both the projects.
However, since as per IND AS 115, income /Revenue is booked on having sale deed execution , but regular
maintenance and value addition costs are recognized regularly, the operating margins in Real Estate appear to
be consistent on quarterly basis. The operating profit generally is higher in a period when revenue is
recognized.

was increased in around year 2017 and accordingly the saleable area increased to more than ~2million sq.ft,
subject to approval of design and drawings.

reduced to 17.5%
4. Due to various reasons, the consortium appealed to the arbitration against MHADA, and the matter is
finally heard, and award is received with FSI enhancement subject to premium payable at applicable rates.
5. It is anticipated that post the hand over of the temporary transit camps to the slum dweller , a reputed

Your Company sees good prospects in the domestic economy with the thrust on infrastructure development.
The Company has invested in building up the capacities over the years and has also mapped the emerging
opportunities with the internal capabilities. Increase in the pace of implementation of various initiatives by the
government and revival of the investment cycle would be conducive for achieving the growth aspirations of the
Company. Governmentâs need of revival in capex cycle and infrastructure development would remain
conducive for achieving the growth aspirations of the Company with reduced EMD and PBG in tender and
contracts. Acceptability of Insurance bond in place of Bank Guarantee will open up great unblocking of capital,
savings in working capital and security margins.

Business
The strength of your Company lies in identification, execution and
successful implementation of the projects in the infrastructure space.
To strengthen the long-term projects and ensuring sustainable growth in
assets and revenue, it is important for your Company to evaluate
various opportunities in the different business verticals in which your
Company operates. Your Company currently has several projects under
implementation and continues to explore newer opportunities, both
domestic and international. Your Board of Directors considers this to
be in strategic interest of the Company and believe that this will
greatly enhance the long-term shareholders value. At present your
Company operates in three business sectors- Heavy Engineering cum
construction, Real Estate and Infrastructure Projects.
This year we have surpassed all the expectations and feats achieved
earlier by registering a top line of Rs.200 crore. The projects awarded
by NHPC like Teesta ( TLDP) ,Uri,Chamera and Parbati progressed in its
full strength this year and almost 80% manufacturing and fabrication
completed this year to leave only erection and final commissioning for.
next year. Post approval of design and drawings in Kameng project - the
revenue generation was satisfactory this year and the phenomenal
progress is anticipated in next F.Y. We are endeavouring to get overall
price revision in Kameng Project for the delay attributable to NEEPCO
in revising structural and technical parameters.
The real estate division of the Company maintained the momentum at par
by registering a turnover of Rs.2357 lacs from the Township at Kota "Om
Enclave". The success of "Om Enclave" evert in slow down period boosted
our morale to launch another project "Om Urban Heights" .Next two years
will witness revenue from this project. The Company has reported a
Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs.4136 lacs, as against Rs.2811 lacs in the
previous year. The increased finance cost and decreased inventories
stressed the surge proportionate to surge in turnover.
EPS for the financial year 2009-10 stood at Rs 3.38.
DIVISIONAL ANALYSIS
ENGINEERING DIVISION
The Engineering Division focuses on turnkey engineering procurement and
construction contracts for Hydro mechanical equipment for Hydro Power
and Irrigation projects. The 91% surge in turnover this year from
engineering division mainly attributed by four NHPC projects awarded in
2007.Kameng project post re-approval and re structuring by NEEPCO did
also contribute turnover in this fiscal. We have a sizeable share in
the Indian Hydro mechanical space with an unexecuted order book size of
Rs 650 crores (excluding escalation). The
Company this year secured the contract of Kalisindh project in
Rajasthan worth Rs.457 crore in JV with SPML Infra. With this project
Company has achieved another feat of diversifying in the civil
construction space and the Company will not have to take recourse to
civil companies for meeting PQ norms for bidding in civil space. The
Company is now all geared up to encash the burgeoning opportunities in"
executing complete EPC contract in the space of H M components and
civil structure as well for Hydro projects of 38000 MW power generation
planned in next 10 years by GOI. The projects in Hydro power space
involve multifarious activities viz. civil construction,
electromechanical component and Hydro mechanical equipments.
REAL ESTATE, HOTELS AND MULTIPLEX
The turnover from hotel Om Tower in Jaipur and Multiplex in Kota
remained at same levels. With the revival in economical growth -revenue
is expected to increase buoyed by increasing domestic and international
tourism ahead of Commonwealth Games in 2010.
Though in real estate front we have not seen any major upward in
revenue generation but we remained unaffected with sluggish realty
market and managed to successfully sell out the "Om Enclave" project
with handsome profits and launched another project of 2 lac sq ft
residential apartments on newly acquired 10000 sq mt land in Kota
(Rajasthan) the response of which was overwhelming. Post CRZ and MOEF
clearance - other statutory clearance and extensions from SRA and other
different agencies are on fast track and we are ready to construct the
temporary transit camps for shifting slum dwellers and this will pave
the way to begin construction activities of rehab apartments and
commercially roll out sellable apartments in Bandra Reclamation- A
project initiated by MHADA. We have signed a development agreement
with Mahindra Life space for development of 10 acre land in Hafeezpet
village ( Near Hi tech city) Hyderabad and the construction of this
project shall start in middle of the F Y 2010-11.
Future plans
Going ahead, the Company aims to further enhance its skill-sets, core
strengths, capacity enhancement, Build a fleet of construction
equipments to effectively and efficiently tackle even bigger and more
complex projects in this niche space, within and outside India.
The Company is all geared up to encash the burgeoning opportunities in
the Hydro Mechnical segment and utilise the PQ earned from Kalisindh
project in Civil space by providing turnkey solution in civil as well
as Hydro mechanical space to minimum 38, 000 MW additional Hydel power
generation planned in next 10 years by GOI.
Your Company is aggressively taking part in submitting RFQs for Roads,

up of imported raw material from the newly set up works at Calcutta /
Kimi ( Arunachal) . Further it is imperative to mention that since the
reasons for delay are attributable to NEEPCO,we are likely to get
handsome compensation for changes and delay over and above the standard
escalation payments.
The real estate division of the company recorded robust turnover of
Rs.2315 lacs ( P.Y.837 lacs) from the Township at Kota " Om
Enclave" and we have sold all the apartments of first phase and
substantial apartments of 2nd phase of project. In the fiscal 2009- 10
we are confident of getting the complete revenue generation of Om
Enclave.
The Company has reported a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs.2811.45 lacs,
as against Rs.2286.57 lacs in the previous year. The financial cost,
overheads and carrying cost of raw material has affected the
profitability of core segment but the profits from Om enclave has
strengthened overall profitability. Finished stock and Work in Progress
awaiting supply to the projects accounts for Rs.4093 lacs as against
Rs.3056 lacs in the previous year and the carrying cost of this
affected the margin percentage in this fiscal year. In the next fiscal
all the stocks shall be put in working capital cycle and shall generate
good revenue.
EPS for the financial year 2008-09 stood at Rs 2.58
DIVISIONAL ANALYSIS ENGINEERING DIVISION
The Engineering Division focuses on turnkey engineering procurement and
construction contracts for Hydro mechanical equipment for Hydro Power
and Irrigation projects. The 37% surge in turnover this year from
engineering division mainly attributed by the Gosikhurd project and the
new NHPC projects awarded in 2007.Kameng project since recently passed
through re-approval cycle shall generate handsome turnover in next
fiscal. We have a sizeable share in the Indian Hydro mechanical space
with an unexecuted order book size of Rs 650 crores (excluding
escalation). The company this year secured the Letter of Intent (LOI)
for Sripad Sagar Project in Andhra Pradesh worth Rs.95 crore and we
have mobilised men,material,machines at site and the revenue generation
shall commence in next fiscal. The company is all geared up to encash
the burgeoning opportunities in H M segment by providing turnkey
solution to minimum 38000 MW additional Hydel power generation planned
in next 10 years by GOI. The projects in Hydro power space involve
multifarious activities viz. civil construction, Electromechanical
component and Hydromechanical equipments.
REAL ESTATE, HOTELS AND MULTIPLEX
The turnover from our flagship hotel in Jaipur Hotel Om Tower
marginally decreased to Rs.578.68 Lacs from Rs.656 lacs and profit
decreased from Rs.117 lacs to Rs.108 lacs this year. The bomb blasts
and 26/11 affected the tourist inflow and after the slow revival of
economy we expect the reasonable growth to continue in future years
buoyed by increasing domestic and international tourism ahead of
Commonwealth Games in 2010.
The yearly profit from multiplex in Kota post leasing out to Inox
Leisure is uniform and the rate of return is handsome.
Though in real estate front we have not seen any major breakthrough in
new projects being added this year but we have paved the way for sooner
development in Bandra Project by securing the Coastal Regulation Zone
(CRZ) clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF). After
some procedural formalities, we expect the shifting of slum dwellers to
existing rehab apartments for a cleaner and vacant project site to
begin construction activities.
We are awaiting further market sentiments to boost for starting
development of projects in Hyderabad,Faridabad and Jaipur.
The revenue income from Kota township "Om Enclave" is handsomely
progressing and we are confident of finishing this project by 2010.
100% Sale of Residential apartments of First phase and substantial
portion of 2nd Phase of project has been achieved and we have posted a
net tax free profit of Rs.998 lacs. The construction of second phase
of residential is almost complete and the process of leasing
negotiations with anchor / vanilla stores in the commercial is slowed
down due to persisting recession in retail market.
