Revenue:
The total income for FY 2024-25 at '' 50.70 lakhs was
lower than income of '' 92.09 lakhs for the previous
year. The reason for lower income was lower other
income on account of changes in fair value of
investments.
Expenses:
The total expenses for FY 2024-25 at '' 50.56 lakhs
were less than expenses of '' 71.19 lakhs for the
previous year. The reason for lower expenses were
mainly decrease in employee benefit and legal and
professional fees.
Profit After Tax:
The Company''s loss after tax for FY 2024-25 stood at
'' 3.28 lakhs as compared to a profit of '' 26.00 lakhs in
the previous year. The reason for the same is primarily
due to decrease in net gain on changes in fair value of
investments.
Considering the losses incurred during the year, your
Directors express their inability to recommend any
dividend for the year under review.
The Company has not transferred any sum to the
reserves during the financial year ended March 31,
2025.
India''s growth continues to be resilient despite
some signs of moderation in growth. Although
significant challenges remain in the global
environment, India was one of the fastest
growing economies in the world. Indian market
is now amongst the most favored when it
comes to seeing growth, both in rentals and
commercial real estate. After 4 years of being
affected by COVID, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities
have arisen as fresh major real estate trends
in 2024, and the real estate market has set
unprecedented benchmarks which continued its
growth momentum from 2021 amid the global
slowdown and now command better pricing
power, both in rentals and commercial real
estate.
As India awaits policy reforms to pick up speed,
your Company firmly believes that the demand
for Real Estate in a country like India should
remain strong in the medium to long term.
The Company''s Business Centre though is
strategically located in South Mumbai, there is
a limitation for expansion of the office space by
the corporates in that area and large number
of corporates now prefer to shift their base to
suburbs or other CBD''s where there is greater
scope to have a larger area at cheaper rentals.
This trend has adversely impacted the Company''s
business in the last several years. Nevertheless,
some of them would prefer to maintain their
establishments in the South Mumbai, which may
prove to be an opportunity to the Company.
Further, the Company is exposed to a number
of risks such as regulatory, counterparty risk, but
it has implemented risk management policies
and guidelines that set out the tolerance for
Company''s general risk philosophy. It has
established a framework and process to monitor
the exposures to implement appropriate
measures in a timely and effective manner.
Looking at the above-mentioned facts, the
future prospects for the Business Centre activity
remains to be steady but not very promising.
Risk management can be construed as the
identification, assessment, and prioritization of
risks followed by coordinated and economical
application of resources to minimize, monitor,
and control the probability and/or impact of
unfortunate events or to maximize the realization
of opportunities.
The Company has a well-defined risk
management framework in place that functions
through its Audit Committee. The Company
periodically places before the Audit Committee
and the Board of Directors the key risks and
the risk assessment and mitigation procedures
followed by the Company.
The Company has established a well-defined
internal control system to monitor the occupancy
rate and operating cost, which are very critical
factors from Company''s performance point of
view. Any kind of adverse factors are immediately
reported to Board for their analysis and necessary
action.
f. Financial Performance with respect to
Operational Performance:
The Company has by and large been able to
maintain its operations.
g. Human Resources:
Employee relations continued to remain cordial
during the year under review. As on March 31,
2025, there were two (2) employees who were
the Key Managerial Personnel of the Company.
h. Significant Changes in Key Financial Ratios
(i.e. change of 25% or more as compared to
immediately previous financial year) and Change
in Return on Net Worth as compared to the
immediately previous financial year, along with
a detailed explanation thereof:
1. Return on Net Worth for FY 2024-25: (0.98 %)
Return on Net Worth for FY 2023-24: 7.70 %
% Change in Return on Net Worth: (112.73%)
Return on Net worth has declined primarily
due to a net loss of '' 3.28 lakhs reported in
FY 2024-25, as against a profit of '' 26 lakhs
in the previous year.
2. Net Profit Ratio for FY 2024-25 : (6.46%)
Net Profit Ratio for FY 2023-24 : 28.23%
% Change in Return on Net Profit Ratio:
(122.89%)
The decrease in the Net Profit Ratio is
attributable to a decline in net profit during
the current year as compared to the previous
year.
3. Return on Capital employed for FY 2024-25 :
0.04%
Return on Capital employed for FY 2023-24 :
6.19%
% Change in Return on Capital Employed :
(99.30%)
The decrease in Return on Capital Employed
is primarily due to a reduction in profit as
compared to the previous year.
4. Return on investment for FY 2024-25: 64.36 %
Return on investment for FY 2023-24:(15.27%)
% Change in Return on investments : 521.46%
Return on investment is not comparable
due to redemption & investment of mutual
fund in current year.
Except for these, there is no significant
change (i.e. change of more than 25%) in
any other key financial ratio during the
current financial year as compared to the
immediately preceding financial year.

were less as compared to expenses of Rs. 87.61
lakhs in the previous year mainly due to decrease in
