Performance of the Company:
The turnover during the year reduced to Rs.10531.95 lacs as compared to
Rs.15457.38 lacs for the previous year ended 31st March 2013.
The infrastructure sector in India presents a pitiable picture. Every
infra company is finding the going tough in India. Getting sanctions
and clearances from statutory authorities is cumbersome. Receiving
payments against bills is delayed. High interest coupled with higher
overheads has eaten away the profits. Your company is no exception to
this scenario.
Future prospects
The management is of the opinion that unless the interest burden is
reduced, the company will find it difficult to make profits. Hence
some of the properties owned by the company is proposed to be sold and
the bank liability paid off.
Capital and Finance:
Due to severe liquidity problems, the company was not able to pay the
dues to Vijaya Bank after our account was classified as Non Performing
Asset by the bank in FY 2012-13. The company has filed an appeal with
Debt Recovery Tribunal to give reasonable time to dispose the surplus
non operating assets and pay off Vijaya Bank. This transaction will not
affect the current operations of the company. The company has defaulted
in repayment of equipment finance loan from Srei Equipment Finance
Ltd., Apart from Vijaya Bank, facilities have been availed from Kotak
Mahindra Bank Limited; Both these accounts are standard.
The company''s shares are being traded in the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE).
Dividend:
As you are aware, during the year 2013-14, the performance did not
match expectation. Cash flow has not substantially improved as the
company did not receive disbursements from customers on timely basis.
To regularise the funds flow, your directors decided to retain the
resources and hence do not recommend any dividend for this year too.
Directors:
In terms of the provisions of section 152 of the Companies Act, 2013,
and Articles of Association of the company, Mr. Dilip Varghese,
Directors retire at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being
eligible, has offered himself for reappointment.

Performance of the Company:
The turnover during the year reduced to to Rs.15738.57 lacs as compared
to Rs.19514.44 lacs for the year ended 31st March 2012.
The infrastructure sector in India presents a pitiable picture. Every
infra company is finding the going tough in India. Getting sanctions
and clearances from statutory authorities is cumbersome. Receiving
payments against bills is delayed. High interest coupled with higher
overheads has eaten away into the profits. Your company is no exception
to this scenario. There was operational loss as the management decided
to write off the stock in Chennai as the works have been foreclosed.
Apart from this, there was an exceptional loss by way of fraudulent
invocation of bank guarantee of one project in Chennai. The company has
filed both civil and criminal case against this party and the matter is
subjudice. However, since the money was already paid by the bank, the
management decided to write it off on principles of conservatism. Such
write off will be reversed and income booked if the court award is
favourable.
Future prospects
The management is of the opinion that unless the interest burden is
reduced, the company will find it difficult to make profits. Hence some
of the properties owned by the company is proposed to be sold and the
bank liability paid off. Based on the orders in hand, your directors
are optimistic about the performance in the coming year.
Capital and Finance:
Due to severe liquidity problems, the company was not able to pay the
monthly interest charged to by Vijaya Bank. Our account with Vijaya
Bank was classified as Non Performing Asset by the bank. The company
has surplus non opearating assets which can be disposed off subject to
obtaining legal clearances and pay off the debt of Vjaya Bank
completely. The company has filed an appeal with Debt Recovery Tribunal
to give us reasonable time to dispose the assets. This transaction will
not affect the current operations of the company. Apart from Vijaya
Bank, facilities have been availed from Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited and
equipment finance loan from Srei Equipment Finance Ltd. Both these
accounts are standard and no dues are pending as on date.
The company''s shares are being traded in the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE) of India Ltd.
Dividend:
As you are aware, during the year 2012-13, the performance did not
match expectation. Cash flow has not substantially improved as the
company did not receive disbursements from customers on timely basis.
To regularise the funds flow, your directors decided to retain the
resources and hence do not recommend any dividend for this year too.
Directors:
Mr Chandrakant S Sanghavi was appointed as casual director on
07.11.2012 in place of Mr. A B Karweer who expired on 1.12.2011. He
retires at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and is eligible for
reappointment. In terms of the provisions of section 255 and 256 of the

procedures for compliance of the rules is being acted upon.

performance of the Company:
The turnover of your Company reduced to Rs.12582.45lacs as compared to
Rs.15852.05 lacs for the year ended 31st March 2009. This was partly a
management strategy coupled with some unforeseen hiccups.
Considering long term strategy and prospects, the management had
refrained from taking up any major new projects unless the existing non
remunerative contracts were completed. The objective was to complete
the existing projects, some of which were started when the petroleum
and steel prices were low and had no built in escalation clause. The
management has made it a policy to include the escalation clause in all
new projects being taken up. Accordingly no new major contracts were
started during the year 2009-10.
Major works like recarpeting of runway at Cochin International Airport
Ltd., Bus Rapid Transit system of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation,
Airport work at MIDC Nanded, Concretisation of roads at New Mangalore
Port Trust were completed in the third and fourth quarters of the year.
After this there was natural delay in demobilisation and transportation
of machinery and equipments to new sites.
There was some delay by the Govt of Tamilnadu for making available the
land for widening of roads of TNRDC projects.
There were unseasonal rains in Chennai where the majority of new works
were being executed. Usually in Chennai the heavy rainfall occurs in
October- November whereas in 2009, the rains continued to play havoc
from July to December 2009
The profit went down to Rs. 367.12lacs from Rs.389.13lacs for the year
ended 31st March 2009. This was mainly because of the lower turnover
and fixed overheads.
Future prospects
Your directors see a very bright future for the Company. The Company
has been quoting aggressively for new projects during the last few
months. We have already bagged orders worth Rs.200 Cr. in the first two
months. This new transformation will bear fruits from the second half
of the financial year.
Capital and finance:
After the successful completion of the IPO, the Company did not raise
any further funds from the capital market. The Company retained the
same borrowing facilities with our bankers, i.e. Vijaya Bank. Apart
from this we have taken temporary working capital demand loan from Yes
Bank.
The CompanyÃs shares are being traded in the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.(NSE) of India Ltd.
Dividend:
Directors recommend 10% dividend to the shareholders of the Company. We
understand that this being the 25th year of the Company, the share
holders expect some special dividend. The Board also hopes that we may
be able to gratify the share holders as and when the performance picks
up.
