REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS' AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS

To

The Members,

Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the TWENTY FIRST Annual Report of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the Financial Year ended 31st March 2014.

DIVIDEND

In view of brought forward losses, the directors do not recommend any dividend for the year ended 31st March, 2014.

PERFORMANCE

Year 2013-14 encompassed mixed fortunes for the Indian economy. In the initial months it showed good prospects of growth but in the later part of the year it started showing gloomy signals for growth.

Persistently rising inflation started taking draconian shape that prompted RBI to take stern steps to check its impact on the economic growth of India. Interest rates started climbing upwards at almost every RBI policy meet. This in turn dampened the financial market sentiments. At the global scenario, US got into clutches of double-dip depression fears and Euro zone never could get out of the sovereign debt crisis as such. The uncertainty again started gripping the global financial market.

All these factors had adverse impact on the business environment in general and as a result the Company could not maintain its profitability.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT A. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT

Last financial year the global economies had shown upward revision more because of the continued stimulus measures administered during 2013-14 by the developed and emerging economies. India too was not an exception. Liquidity infusion resulted in the economic recovery across the globe but soon it was realized that it was not enough for the continued upsurge. However in the year 2013-14 amidst the rising inflation, increase in rate of interests, higher commodity prices and volatility in the global commodity markets dampened the overall outlook of several economies. Despite all these the Indian economy is still expected to grow at around 8%.

B. OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS

There are several opportunities for short and long term investments. Further other business opportunities for Finance Companies are enormous as the new areas and segments are being unlocked. There is a large scope of small size Finance & Investment Companies like yours, for certain segment of customers, which remain unattended by Banks and large size Investment & Finance Companies.

The major threat being faced by Investment & Finance Companies are regulatory changes in NBFCs, Interest Rate hikes by RBI, high Inflation, aggressive marketing of banks and volatility in global equity and commodity market.

C. RISKS AND CONCERNS

D. OUTLOOK

Your Directors are of the opinion that there are enough opportunities amongst the prevailing uncertainties that can fetch excelled rewards in the long run. Soon inflation and interest rates would peak out in India and the general sentiments will turn positive. The Company will be able to post higher income and good profit in the current year.
