3. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS :
Financial year 2010-2011 represents the period of recovery of whole
economy in general and realty sector has edged over the other sectors
of the economy. In spite of recovery of real estate sector, demand
remained subdued for real estate products across all the categories,
apparently due to monetary policy adopted by the Reserve Bank of India
to squeeze the liquidity with the object to contain the infationary
elements from the economy, simultaneously increasing the rate of
interest on home loans which have direct impact on the demand of the
real estate products.
To weather the tremors of slowdown and cash crunch in ever changing

hived-off projects, to utilize the vacant portion of existing projects
for the development of new projects on such vacant land.

after conversion of warrants is increased proportionately to i.e.

Lok Mansarovar, Lok Prabhat and Lok Nirman is satisfactory. The funds
derived from these on-going projects are being utilized for the
expansion of the business of the Company. Further to strengthen itself
fnancially, the Company has focused on improvising productivity and
reducing its costs, utilizing its cash fow most effectively during the
year under review.
