MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

(A) Industry Structure and Development:

Despite slow down of Indian as well as Global economic conditions, the growth of Infrastructure, Construction and Real Estate sector is steady. The Government has made positive changes and committed to allocate more incentives/funds for infrastructure and construction segment. More over Government of Gujarat is taking keen interest for development and growth of Infrastructure and Construction Industry as a whole. Further industrial growth in and around main cities of Gujarat is peaking up new heights.

Further to the above scenario, Banks, NBFCs are willing to give more and more allocation of funds for sanctioning of loan in Infrastructure and Construction Sector. Some of them offer loans at very low rate of interest with speedy sanction of loans. The infrastructure Sector offers tremendous opportunities for private players to play a vital role. India is ranked 5th on account of economic growth and developing real estate market with more focus on the regulatory environments. Indian Construction and Real Estate market has poised to become a favoured investment destination.

(B) Review of Operations:

- after taxation as against income from operation of Rs. 7,98,21,522/- and incurred loss of Rs. 78,82,073/- after taxation in the previous year.

(C) Opportunities and Threats:

Government of Gujarat is taking keen interest in developing Power Sector, Automobile Sector, Heavy Engineering Sector and offering lucrative incentives for setting up the projects in Gujarat. This will result in rapid industrialization in the state of Gujarat. On account of this, there will be more and more demand for residential and commercial units in nearby big cities. Further, Gujarat Government declared to develop Cholera Port, Construction of Air Cargo Air Port near Ahmadabad, development of Delhi-Mumbai Corridor and also declare to develop Chemical Zone in South Gujarat. On account of such development, there will be ample opportunities for growth of Infrastructure and Construction Sector. As per Cushman and Wake field Research, in India cumulative residential demand is estimated more than 7 . 5 million units by the end of 2013 across all the categories.

The Construction and Infrastructure Sector in India is impacted inter-alia, regulatory and monetary policies and investment outlook. Interest Rate on Housing loans will depend upon the Reserve Bank of India's fixation of the Repo and Reverse Repo Rate Policy. RBI has increased the rate by almost 40% within a period of two years. In addition to this, all the Banks & NBFC's had withdrawn the concessional rate offered on Housing Loan. At present, prices of Land have shoot up very fast in major cities of Gujarat resulted in high prices of the properties, now for Middle Class and Upper Middle Class cannot afford the high prices of properties thereby affecting the Construction Industry adversely.

(D) Internal Control System:

The Company has adopted adequate system of internal controls as per the size of the Company to ensure that all assets are safeguarded properly. All the transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. The Company has effective systems in place for achieving efficiency in operations, optimum and effective utilization of resources, monitoring thereof and compliance with applicable laws. There is a well-established Internal Audit System with clearly laid down powers and responsibilities, wherever necessary that can be exercised at various levels of the Management in the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

(A) Industry Structure and Development:

Growth in Construction industry in India is more than other industry segment and increasing very fast. Government of India made necessary positive changes in its policy for smooth development of construction industry. In all the major cities, giant corporate house, Multi National Companies, Non-Resident Indians have entered in construction industry vis. Residential colonies, Commercial Complexes, Malls. Due to this and particularly in the Gujarat state Construction industry will pick new heights in coming years.

Looking to the present and future growth in construction Nationalized Bank and Non Banking Finance Company now planning to sanction and disburse more housing loan at concessional/ special rate for the first year. All the towns in Gujarat state developed or being developed along with main cities.

(B) Review of Operations:

During the year under review, income from operation of the Company was Rs. 79,821,522/- and loss of Rs. 78,283,073/- after taxation as against income from operation Rs. 759,008,049/- and incurred loss of Rs. 3,549,776/ after taxation in the previous year.

(C) Opportunities and Threats:

The demand in residential segment will be increasing in Big Cities of Gujarat as the industrial growth is more in the state. While demand in commercial segment is remain same in previous years. There are good opportunities for development in commercial segment due to rapid industrialization. This was mainly due to support and friendly policies of Central as well as State Government. Recently government of Gujarat declared to develop Dholera Port and its surrounding area as Chemical and Industrial Zone. State Government has initiated steps to acquire the land. Hence, there are ample opportunities for growth in infrastructure development and construction. After almost one decade of earth quack people of Gujarat now prefer high rise building as they have no fear.

Recently some of the banks increased their bank rate for home loan, mortgage loan and most of the banks are considering to withdraw their special or discounted rate for loans. Further, prices of land in major cities of Gujarat increased considerable resulted in high price of the property and amount to low rate of return. Prices of basic rate in crude oil, food grain, Gold, Silver, metal etc had increased too much as compared to previous year and economists are also predicted that the rate of all raw materials will also increase. Hence people of middle and upper middle class cannot afford the high prices of property and this will affect the construction and infrastructure business adversely.
