PERFORMANCE REVIEW & OUTLOOK

The year was marked by high volatility in the stock market. The BSE Sensitive Index which was 17,430 at the start of the fnancial year 2012-13 made a recovery to reach at 20,203 in January 2013 and fnally declined at the year end to close at 18,835 on 31st March, 2013. While the year started on a poor note, there were frequent bouts of recovery & volatility and an upward trend was seen from June 2012 till January 2013. Even though the health of the domestic industry remained fragile during the year, an infow of USD 22 billion into the Indian Equities by overseas investors supported the market. However, volatile prices of index stocks have caused a fear in the domestic investors and they were by and large sellers in every rally.

Amidst global slowdown and uncertainty, the economic activity in India remained subdued on account of halted investment demand, declining exports and weakening business and consumer confdence. The loss of growth momentum continued throughout the year 2012-13. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during 2012-13 slowed down from 5.5% in the frst quarter to 4.8% in fourth quarter. The infation measured by the Wholesale Price Index which remained sticky at above 7.5% through frst half of 2012-13, fell to 5.9% in March, 2013. The softening of global commodity prices and lowering of prices moderated non-food infation. However, the food infation moved into double digit.

Due to high volatile stock market conditions, the Divestment/ Investment activity of the company was curtailed during the year and the Company posted Net Loss of Rs. 1586.36 Lakhs as compared to Rs 7.54 Lakhs in previous year.

Industry Trends and its future prospects have been summed up in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report which forms part of this report.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW & OUTLOOK

During the year, the BSE Sensitive Index which was 19,420 at the start of the financial year, after making a low of 15,454 in December, 2011, ended at 17,404 on 30th March, 2012. The stock market remained in low gear in 2011. As a result, the Divestment/ Investment activity of the company was curtailed during the year and the Company posted Net Loss of Rs. 7.54 Lakhs as compared to Net Profit of Rs 5.00 Lakhs in previous year.

Inflation, High Interest rates, weak rupee, foreign fund outflows, high commodity prices, euro zone debt crises and so on, weighted on the Stock Market. Indian Stock Market showed a worst performance after 2008 when U.S. financial crises stuck. Inflation clearly remained the biggest and most engraved concern for India this year. Soaring prices of food and essential commodities compelled the Reserve Bank of India to raise interest rates several times during the year. The rupee continued to fall on sustained foreign capital outflows. The weakening rupee added to the inflationary pressure which is a severe setback for corporate India as it would mean higher interest rate outflow and repayment liability on its foreign currency debt.

Internationally, the euro zone debt crises remained the biggest business story of 2011. The crises deepened as the trouble that started with Greece spread to Italy, Portugal and Spain and speculation mounted about the collapse of the euro zone. India cannot stay immune to the deteriorating situation in the euro zone.

Industry Trends and its future prospects have been summed up in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report which forms part of this report.

DEMISE OF SHRI HARISH CHANDER BHASIN, FOUNDER CHAIRMAN OF THE COMPANY.

The Directors expressed their sorrow and deep sense of loss on the passing away on 7th December, 2010, of Sh. Harish Chander Bhasin, the Founder Chairman of the Company. Poignant and heartfelt tributes were paid to the extraordinary pioneer in the field of Financial Services, whose remarkable vision and keen interest in the affairs of the Company steered it to its illustrious position in the business world.

DIVIDEND

In view of the brought forward losses, your directors regret their inability to recommend dividend for the year under review.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW & OUTLOOK

During the year, the BSE Sensitive Index which was 17,692 at the start of the financial year, made a low of 15,960 in May 2010 and a high of 21,108 in November 2010, ended at 19,445 on 31st March, 2011. The year was marked by high volatility in the stock market. During the year, the Divestment/ Investment activity of the company was curtailed due to extreme volatile market conditions As a result the Company posted Net Profit of Rs.5.00 lakhs compared to Rs 174.65 lakhs in previous year.

The economic scenario at present is not very positive due to inflationary pressure. Despite the Reserve Bank's ongoing tightening policy to curb the rising inflation, the high prices of oil, food and other commodities in India has helped push inflation to almost 9%. Over the last one year, RBI has increased the repo rate (rate at which the RBI lends to banks) nine times since March 2010 to tame demand as a means of fighting inflation. The repo rate which was 4.75% in March 2010, now stands at 7.25% in May, 2011. With the declining growth in profitability of the Indian corporate sector due to tight monetary policies and turmoil in the International financial and credit market, there is a reduced risk appetite for Indian equities.

It is however believed that the Indian economy will do reasonably well with its own sturdy domestic demand inspite of all these odds over the long term.

Industry Trends and its future prospects have been summed up in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report which forms part of this report.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW & OUTLOOK

The stock market index which declined by almost 40 % in the year 2008, undertook a sharp revival and increased by 77 % in 2009-2010.The BSE Sensitive Index which was 9901.99 at the start of the financial year, ended the year at 17527.77 on 31st March, 2010. During the year under review, your company posted Net Profit of Rs. 174.65 lakhs compared to Rs 96.05 lakhs in previous year.

The fiscal year 2009-10 closed on a relatively good note, amidst the pressures that emanated from the global economic crisis. Being the least hit of all economies, the Indian economy has survived the storm of global financial crisis. Supported by monetary and fiscal policies, a recovery in economic activity was visible from the second quarter of the Financial Year 2009- 2010.The GDP growth rate for the year 2009-10 was estimated to be 7.2 percent compared with the growth of 6.7 percent attained in 2008-09. The Indian rupee also exhibited strengthening trend against US dollar on the back of capital inflows.

The overall risks to the outlook however remain slated to the downside. There are also looming concerns over a second round of convulsion in the advanced economies. If this was to happen, the recovery process is bound to be impacted.

Industry trends and its future prospects are more elaborately given in the Management Discussion and Analysis which forms the part of this Report.
