The Company had made provision of Rs. 238.00 Lacs of diminution in
value of investment made with Light Work LLC an overseas Company on
account of diminution in the book value of the Share of Light Work LLC.
The Company has also written off the advances of Rs. 45.00 Lacs in
relation to advances given to one party. This has resulted into the
loss of Rs. 223.21 Lacs during the year.
However, there is continuity in the profit of the Company from its
operational activities. The diminution in the value of overseas
investment is subject to necessary approval from the concerned
authorities.
State of Company's Affairs and Future Outlook:
The income of the Company during the year was Rs. 4.17 Crores in
comparison of Rs. 13.89 Crore in the previous year. The profitability
of the Company from operational activities has decreased by 66.84%
during the Financial Year 2014-2015. The Company continues the trading
of Hot Rolled (Non-Alloy) Mild Steel Window sections and Angles. Major
trading activities are relating to export in overseas market. The
management is hopeful to enhance the trading activities in still better
coming years.
The Company continues to be partner of LLPs. The operational activity
has commenced and the management is confident in achieving higher
amount of profits in current and upcoming years.
In view of the same, the management is of the opinion that:
1. Real estate as an attractive investment option
2. Improved real estate transparency levels
3. Wider option to choose from.
4. Availability of high-quality residential formats.
5. Competitive home loan rates.
6. Flexible home loan financing-EMI holiday by developers.
7. Increased NRI buyer interests
And exactly for such reasons residential offerings have evolved to
accommodate concepts of themed projects, designer homes, green homes
etc. Today people want to live, work, play entertain, be entertained,
flaunt, relax, rejuvenate, study, exercise when it comes to 'where'
they stay. In order to bring the construction quality at par with the
global standards, developer have introduced contemporary technologies
such as Mivan and PERT to their construction. The advanced technologies
have not only reduced the cost of construction, but also brought down
construction turnaround time significantly in the recent past. There
has been greater awareness about green building construction in the
last decade. All these above factors will not only improve the
performance of Company but will consequently help in increasing the net
worth of Stakeholders. However the Management is concerned about the
increase in Service Tax apart, from this the prices of raw
material;cement etc. may affect the margin of the Company.

the Financial Year ended on 31st March, 2015.

2. OPERATIONS :
The turnover of the company during the year was Rs. 651.02 Lacs in
comparison of Rs. 249.25 Lacs in the previous year.
The Company continues the trading of Hot Rolled (Non-Alloy) Mild Steel
Window sections and Angles. Major trading activities are relating to
export in overseas market. The management is hopeful to enhance the
trading activities in coming years.
The Company continues to be partner of LLPs without any change. The
operational activities has commenced and the management is confident in
achieving higher amount of profits in current and upcoming years.
The Company has altered the object clause of Memorandum of Association
and altered Article of Association of the Company through postal ballot
on 13/04/2013. The Procedure for Postal Ballot was completed in this
Financial Year.
The Company has started the activities as per the new Object clause
duly amended by the Stakeholders.
Despite the compulsive economics and political climate, added with the
fact that real estate is predominantly a state subject, the Union
Budget 2012-13 has atleast shown the intent to accept the real estate
and infrastructure as a priority sector.
In view of the same, the management is of the opinion that:
1. Real estate as an attractive investment option
2. I mproved real estate transparency levels
3. Wider option to choose from.
4. Availability of high-quality residential formats.
5. Competitive home loan rates.
6. Flexible home loan financing-EMI holiday by developers.
7. Increased NRI buyers interest.
And exactly for such reasons residential offerings have evolved to
accommodate concepts of themed projects, designer homes, green homes
etc. Today people want to live, work, play entertain, be entertained,
flaunt, relax, rejuvenate, study, exercise when it comes to Âwhere''
they stay.
I n order to bring the construction quality at par with the global
standards, developer have introduced contemporary technologies such as
Mivan and PERT to their construction. The advanced technologies have
not only reduced the cost of construction, but also brought down
construction turnaround time significantly in the recent past. There
has been greater awareness about green building construction in the
late decade.
All these above factors will not only improve the performance of
Company but will consequently help in increasing the net worth of
Stakeholders. However the Management is concerned about the increase
in Service Tax apart from this the prices of raw material; cement etc
may affect the margin of the Company.
The Company had invested about Rs. 4.03 Crore upto 31.03.2013 in Light
Works LLC in Mongolia for carrying on mining activities.
3. DIVIDEND:
The Board recommends 10 % dividend on equity shares i.e. Re.1/- per
