MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This year, the Indian economy witnessed a great challenge as the GDP
growth rate came down to 6.5%.This was the lowest in the last 5 years.
Eurozone financial turmoil, rate hikes announced by the Reserve Bank of
India, depreciating rupee, costlier imports etc. were some of the
reasons behind the negative GDP growth rate. Due to the poor economic
growth, the real estate sector witnessed undesirable environment as
well.
However, going forward, overall demand and need for residential,
commercial, retail and industrial properties continues to be strong
particularly due to rapid urbanization and migration. The sector has
demonstrated unparalleled growth over the years and presently accounts
for almost 5% of the country's GDP and is projecting to increase
enormously year on year.
The Business of the Company is dependent on various conditions such as
Government Regulation, market conditions, etc. This factor has to be
considered before exploring any opportunity. The Company has taken
appropriate measures to combat all kind of hindrances in its growth.
Keeping in mind the prevailing market conditions and to commercially
and gainfully exploit the asset of your Company in the business of real
estate, your company had entered into a development agreement with M/s
Sheth Corp Private Limited, Mumbai to construct, build and develop
residential housing complex on its land situated at 70, Gokhale Road
(South) Dadar, Mumbai - 400025. Sheth Corp Private Limited are Mumbai
based developers who are known for their commitment to customer
convenience, satisfaction and professionalism. Subsequently, because of
the market conditions of the real estate sector in Mumbai in terms of
the oversupply and low demand of residential property, your Company has
now entered into a supplemental agreement with Sheth Corps Private
Limited (SCPL) for the construction of industrial building(s) on the
said land.
The Company is in the process of exploring more opportunities for the
development of the Company and is optimistic about its growth.
The Company has proper internal control procedures to safeguard and
protect all its assets against losses from unauthorized use or
disposition. Accounting records are adequate for preparation of
financial statements and other financial information.

society, your Company has provided donation to an Intermediate school

also donated fund to a charitable institution.
