Statements in this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company describing the Company''s objectives, expectations or predictions may be forward looking within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events.
The Company cannot guarantee that these assumptions and expectations are accurate or will be realised. The Company assumes no responsibility to publicly amend,
modify or revise forward-looking statements, on the basis of any subsequent developments, information or events.
During the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported a significant improvement in its operational performance, with Revenue from Operations rising to Rs. 283.02 lakhs as compared to Rs. 139.18 lakhs in the previous year, reflecting a robust growth of approximately 103.30%. This growth highlights the Company''s continued efforts to scale its operations and expand its market reach.
However, despite the increase in revenue, the Net Loss widened to Rs. 224.03 lakhs, compared to Rs. 103.87 lakhs in the previous year. This was primarily due to a rise in expenses amounting to Rs. 236 lakhs, mainly repairs which were essential considering the condition of structures and to increase area for revenue generation as also in Employee Benefit expenses an amount of onetime lump sum amount payable at end of three years to the Executive Director of the Company. This exceeded the effect of the Rs. 143.84 lakhs increase in revenue.
The Company regularly keeps evaluating strategic and operational initiatives aimed at improving financial performance and enhancing overall efficiency.
The SLP filed by the Company in the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India, challenging the order of the Honorable Bombay High Court in the matter of refusal by Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai to the plans submitted by the company on the main ground of objection raised by Indian Navy, was listed on various dates during the year under review for final hearing before the Honorable Supreme Court. However, the matter did not reach for final hearing. It is expected that the Company''s SLP may get listed for final hearing in near future post the summer vacation of the Honorable Supreme Court.
As apprised in the last year''s Directors'' Report, in May 2021 due to cyclone Taukte part of the sea-retaining wall on south-east side of the Company property was severally damaged, which resulted in part of platform behind the sea retaining wall getting washed away and some structures also getting damaged. The said cyclone also washed away part of the sea retaining wall & platform on outside of west side of Company property, belonging to the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT). This resulted in part of Company land getting eroded with ingress of sea water. The Company & MbPT had been exchanging letters for repairs of their
sea-retaining wall & platform which was damaged during earlier monsoons. However, as stated in last report, MbPT did not carry out required repairs and it had taken a stand that it will not carry out repairs/reconstruction of their sea-retaining wall/platform and that it has no objection to our Company carrying out the same at our cost.
As stated in the last report, the Hon''ble Supreme Court vide its order dated July 11,2022 permitted the Company to carry out repairs/reconstruction of damaged sea retaining wall/compound wall/platform at the Company''s cost. Subsequently, the Company obtained the necessary approval of MCGM after obtaining approvals from Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) and State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA).
Since then the Company has successfully completed the repairs and reconstruction of the sea-retaining wall and platform on the south-east side, with the entire surface finished in concrete. This extensive work also included additional structural improvements to enhance the durability and safety of the infrastructure, reflecting the Company''s commitment to quality and precision.
Over the last few years, the management has made significant efforts to increase revenue from services by upgrading infrastructure through substantial investments and reaching out to new customer segments while maintaining focus on the existing ones. Looking ahead, the Company plans to further improve its infrastructure and carry out necessary repairs and renovations to certain structures to attract a broader range of customer segments and enhance revenue potential.
The recently reconstructed and restored sea-retaining wall and platform has resulted in a sea abutting area attractive for various types of events in addition to film & Ad shoots, which is expected to generate additional revenue. Furthermore, major planned repairs and renovations of other structure are expected to create space which otherwise was unusable for revenue generating activities.
Given these developments and the ongoing efforts, the Company remains optimistic about achieving better results in the current year and the near future.
The Company has in place adequate financial controls for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business including adherence to Company''s policies, the
safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the adequacy and completeness of accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
The Internal Financial Controls commensurate with the size and nature of business of the Company. During the year, such controls were tested and no reportable material weaknesses in the design or operation were observed.
The Company has appointed M/s. Gokhale & Sathe, Chartered Accountants, Mumbai, as Internal Auditors to carry the internal audit. The Internal Auditors'' Reports are regularly reviewed by the Senior Management and the Audit Committee of the Board for its implementation and effectiveness.
The Company has developed and implemented the Risk Management system whereby a Risk Management Committee has been constituted to manage, monitor and report on the principal risks and uncertainties that can impact the ability to achieve the Company''s strategic objectives. The Committee periodically briefs the Board on various issues along with its suggestions/ recommendations, based on which the Board takes decisions.

Companyâs Property at Colaba - Mumbai
The SLP filed by the Company in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, challenging the order of the Honorable Bombay High Court in the matter of refusal by Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai to the plans submitted by the company on the main ground of objection raised by Indian Navy, was listed on various dates during the year under review for final hearing before the Honorable Supreme Court. However, the matter did not reach for final hearing. It is expected that the Company's SLP may get listed for final hearing in near future post the summer vacation of the Honorable Supreme Court.
As apprised in the last year's Directors' Report, in May 2021 due to cyclone Taukte part of the sea-retaining wall on south-east side of the Company property was severally damaged, which resulted in part of platform behind the sea retaining wall getting washed away and some structures also getting damaged. During the earlier year under review, the Company received in full & final settlement, claim amount of Rs. 18.05 lakhs from the Insurer The New India Assurance Company Ltd., against the said damage. The said cyclone also washed away part of the sea retaining wall & platform on outside of west side of Company property, belonging to the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT). This resulted in part of Company land getting eroded with ingress of sea water. The Company & MbPT have been exchanging letters for repairs of their sea-retaining wall & platform which was damaged during earlier monsoons. However, as stated in last report, MbPT did not carry out required repairs and it had taken a stand that it will not carry out repairs/reconstruction of their sea-retaining wall/platform and that it has no objection to our Company carrying out the same at our cost.
As stated in the last report, the Hon'ble Supreme Court vide its order dated July 11, 2022 permitted the Company to carry out repairs/reconstruction of damaged sea retaining wall/compound wall/platform at the Company's cost.
Thereafter, the Company applied to the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) for said reconstruction/restoration works and same was approved by MCGM, after the Company obtained the necessary approvals from Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) and State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA).
The Company has issued a work order and started the repairs/ reconstruction of sea-retaining wall/platform on the south-east side, which is expected to be completed before the onset of monsoon.
The management has made in last few years every possible effort to increase the revenue from services by upgrading the infrastructure at substantial investment and by reaching out to new segments & at the same time with a focus on the existing customer segments. The Company is planning to incur further expenditure for improving the infrastructure and carrying out the necessary repairs/renovations to some structures to make the location attractive for different segments, in order to enhance the customer base and revenue. The Major repairs/renovation of structure and reconstruction of seawall/platform will make available more space for shooting & events, which is expected to generate additional revenue.
In view of the same, the Company looks forward positively to do better in the current year and near future.
The Company has in place adequate financial controls for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business including adherence to Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the adequacy and completeness of accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
