MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Pursuant to clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, the Management Discussion and Analysis Report is given below:

Industry Structure, Development & Outlook

For the last few years the Indian tourism sector has been one of the largest service industries in the country in terms of its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Foreign Exchange Earnings, as well as for providing employment to millions. Despite negative signals from global economy, the number of foreign tourist arrival in the country in 2013 showed an increase of about 4.1% over 2012 and hospitality sector have become the most vibrant tertiary''s and has a strong hold on the economy. The Ministry of Tourism in consultation with State Government/ UT administration had proposed to set up Tourist Police at prominent tourist spots. Clean India Campaign has been initiated by the Ministry of Tourism with the objective to increase tourist arrivals to the country and to improve quality of services and provide a hygienic environment in and around tourist destinations across the country. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) named India as one of the fastest growing tourism industries for the next 10 to 15 years.

Tourism in India is witnessing widespread growth on the back of increasing inbound tourism by the burgeoning Indian middle class, rising inflow of foreign tourists and successful government campaigns for promoting ''Incredible India''. Infrastructure development holds the key to India''s sustained growth in the Tourism sector. India Tourism launched two new campaigns: an International Campaign called ''Find What You Seek'' and a Domestic Campaign called ''Go Beyond'' and there has been a growth of 1.70% in the January-March 2014 period in the number of tourists availing of "Visa on Arrival" scheme as compared to the same period in 2013.

Hotels are an important component of the tourism sector. They contribute in the overall tourism experience through the standards of facilities and services offered by them. The constant transformation has made the Indian hotel industry more functional and practical and has gained a level of acceptance world over. The standards of facilities and services offered have evolved over the last decade towards the extensive use of technology, environment friendly services, pricing, market segmentation, regional preferences, etc. The Indian hotel industry has seen a significant growth in room inventory across categories from upscale luxury to limited services and boutique & budget hotels. The occupancy has seen continued gains both from the domestic and the international traveler in both the business and leisure segment. However, because of increase in inventory as well as current economic position, there is pressure on room rates. With the continued growth in India''s GDP, improvement in the per capita income and increased aspirational spending, the Indian hospitality sector is expected to grow much faster than most countries around the world.

This is the first time when Hon''ble Finance Minister has focused on Tourism as one of the government priorities and also announced the E-Visa for most of the countries and all these steps together with long awaited introduction of GST are likely to give boost to Hotel Industry.

Opportunities, Threats, Risks and Concerns

Hotels form one of the most important support service that affect the arrival of tourist to a country. The strengths of the industry includes that India is one big package of culture and legend that never fails to captivate the imagination of the visitor. It provides vast natural and cultural diversity, the manpower costs in the Indian hotel industry is reasonable in the world. The peak season in the country is from September to March. Over the long term, the hotel industry has growth potential. When it comes to diverse topography, India is one of the best destination.

Tourists also have second thoughts about visiting India because of the political turbulence and negative publicity here. Growth in hotel supply in recent times has outstripped demand in a number of Indian cities. escalating land prices, increasing energy costs, depleting water levels and a scarcity of trained manpower are challenges that will need to be addressed and overcome. With increasing affluence in India, the composition of the market is undergoing a change. Domestic travel and tourism is experiencing rapid growth as is domestic corporate travel. These segments will require due attention whilst we continue to focus on traditional markets. Source markets are changing with demand from the SAARC nations, China, Japan and the Middle east growing steadily. The tourism Ministry will need to orient itself to this development.

Review of Operational and Financial Performance

The Company has achieved an aggregate turnover of Rs. 130.11 Crores (Previous period Rs. 130.92 Crores) for the financial year ended on 31st March, 2014. Profit/(Loss) after taxes for the year under review was Rs. (5.02) Crores (Previous period Rs. 7.63 Crores). Segment wise Performance During the period under review, the Company is engaged in only one segment of Hotel Business hence segment wise performance is not applicable.

Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy

The Company has standard operating procedures. It has in place adequate reporting systems in respect of financial performance, operational efficiencies and reporting with respect to compliance of various statutory and regulatory matters. The internal auditors of the Company had regularly conducted exhaustive internal audits pertaining to all operational areas and their reports were placed before the Audit Committee for its review and recommendations.

Human Resources and Industrial Relations

Smooth Industrial Relations and effective Human Resource Management are the key factors contributing towards success in the industry. As our company is part of the hospitality industry the importance of efficient and motivated human resources helps in achieving complete customer satisfaction, which in turn has direct impact on the brand image and turnover of the company. The Company enjoys harmonious relationship with its employees. The employee strength of the Company, as on 31st March, 2014 was 628.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Pursuant to clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, the Management Discussion and Analysis Report is given below: Industry Structure, Development & Outlook

India as a destination has become far more attractive to foreign tourists as evidenced by the fact that as per a report published by the World Travel and Tourism Council, India stood 18th as far as business travel was concerned and it featured alongside the top 5 most visited destinations in 2010.

According to a study conducted by the World Travel and Tourism Council the hospitality industry in India is all set to grow at a steady rate of 15 percent per annum. However the growth rate will shoot up in the next few years considering the number of rooms required by both luxury and budget hotels. Indian Hotel Industry is adding about 60,000 quality rooms, currently in different stages of planning and development and should be ready in next two to three years. With the GDP growth of 8-9%, the demand for the hotel rooms is also increasing in the same pace, if not more. The hotel Companies are expected to do well accordingly.

Dwelling perfectly on the principle of ATITHI DEVO BHAVA (GUEST IS GOD) the Hotels in India are just the apt concoction of luxury, humility and unparallel hospitality. The hotels in India are known for offering the best of products and services at absolutely pocket friendly rates.

Opportunities, Threats, Risks and Concerns

India has the potential to cater to the varying interests of the globetrotter whether it be in the form of centers of spirituality, adventure sports or world renowned heritage sites. Hotel business in general is sensitive to fluctuations in the economy and may be unfavorably affected by changes in global and domestic economies, changes in local market situations, government policies and fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates and other natural and social factors.

However the following factors may be a cause of concern and pose a road block in Indias tourism industry achieving its true potential:

1. Internal Security, Law & Order situations and political stability.

2. Regional security threats.

3. Public health and Hygiene.

4. Government policies and Economic Conditions.

5. Competition

6. Operational Hazards, Industrial Accidents and public liabilities.

7. Frauds and pilferages.

8. High Operating Leverage

Review of Operational and Financial Performance

The Company has achieved an aggregate turnover of Rs. 137.59 Crores (Previous period Rs. 60.58 Crores) for the financial year ended on 31st March, 2011. Profit after taxes for the year under review was Rs. 16.92 Crores (Previous period Rs. 9.98 Crores).

Segment wise Performance

During the period under review, the Company is engaged in only one segment of Hotel Business at Mumbai, hence segment wise performance is not applicable.

Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy

The Company has standard operating procedures. It has in place adequate reporting systems in respect of financial performance, operational efficiencies and reporting with respect to compliance of various statutory and regulatory matters. The internal auditors of the Company had regularly conducted exhaustive internal audits pertaining to all operational areas and their reports were placed before the Audit Committee for its review and recommendations.

Human Resources and Industrial Relations

Smooth Industrial Relations and effective Human Resource Management are the key factors contributing towards success in the industry. As our company is part of the hospitality industry the importance of efficient and motivated human resources helps in achieving complete customer satisfaction, which in turn has direct impact on the brand image and turnover of the company. The Company enjoys harmonious relationship with its employees. The employee strength of the Company, as on 31st March, 2011 was 678.
