2. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

Revenue:

The total income for FY 2023-24 at Rs. 92.09 lakhs was
higher as compared to Rs. 25.83 lakhs in the previous
year, which is attributed to higher other income on
account of gain in fair value of investments.

Expenses:

The total expenses for FY 2023-24 at Rs. 71.19 lakhs
were less as compared to expenses of Rs. 87.61
lakhs in the previous year mainly due to decrease in
employee benefit and other expenses.

Profit After Tax:

The Company's profit after tax for FY 2023-24 stands
at Rs. 26.00 lakhs as compared to a loss of Rs. 80.04
lakhs in previous year. The reason for the same is
due to the increase in other income and decrease in
employee benefit and other expenses.

3. DIVIDEND:

environment and to maintain sufficient funds for
investment and working capital requirements, your

5. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

a. Industry Structure and Developments:

India's growth continues to be resilient despite
some signs of moderation in growth, although
significant challenges remain in the global
environment, India was one of the fastest
growing economies in the world. This market is
now amongst the most favored when it comes
to seeing some really positive growth both
in rentals and commercial real estate. After 3
years of being affected by COVID, Tier 2 and Tier
3 cities have arisen as fresh major real estate
trends in 2023, and the real estate market has set
unprecedented benchmarks which continued its
growth momentum from 2021 amid the global
slowdown.

b. Opportunities and Threats:

As India awaits policy reforms to pick up speed,
your Company firmly believes that the demand
for Real Estate in a country like India should
remain strong in the medium to long term.
The Company's Business Centre though is
strategically located in South Mumbai, there is
a limitation for expansion of the office space by
the corporates in that area and large number
of corporates now prefer to shift their base to
suburbs or other CBD's where there is greater
scope to have a larger area at cheaper rentals.
This trend has adversely impacted the Company's
business in the last several years. Nevertheless,
some of them would prefer to maintain their
establishments in the South Mumbai, which may
prove to be an opportunity to the Company.

Further, the Company is exposed to a number
of risks such as regulatory, counterparty risk, but
it has implemented risk management policies
and guidelines that set out the tolerance for
Company's general risk philosophy. It has
established a framework and process to monitor
the exposures to implement appropriate
measures in a timely and effective manner.

c. Outlook:

Looking at the above-mentioned facts, the
future prospects for the Business Centre activity
remains to be steady but not very promising.

d. Risks and Concerns:

Risk management can be construed as the
identification, assessment, and prioritization of
risks followed by coordinated and economical
application of resources to minimize, monitor,
and control the probability and/or impact of
unfortunate events or to maximize the realization
of opportunities.

The Company has a well-defined risk
management framework in place that functions
through its Audit Committee. The Company
periodically places before the Audit Committee
and the Board of Directors the key risks and
the risk assessment and mitigation procedures
followed by the Company.

e. Internal Control Systems and Adequacy

The Company has established a well-defined
internal control system to monitor the occupancy
rate and operating cost, which are very critical
factors from Company's performance point of
view. Any kind of adverse factors are immediately
reported to Board for their analysis and necessary
action.

f. Financial Performance with respect to
Operational Performance:

The Company has by and large been able to
maintain its operations.

g. Human Resources:

Employee relations continued to remain cordial
during the year under review. As on March 31,
2024, there were two (2) employees who were
the Key Managerial Personnel of the Company.

h. Significant Changes in Key Financial Ratios
(i.e. change of 25% or more as compared to
immediately previous financial year) and
Change in Return on Net Worth as compared
to the immediately previous financial year,
along with a detailed explanation thereof:

Return on Net Worth for FY 2023-24: 6.19 %
Return on Net Worth for FY 2022-23: (19.83) %

% Change in Return on Net Worth: 131.23%

Return on Net Worth is positive as compared
to immediately preceding financial year due to
profit.

As compared to previous year, change in Return
on Equity Ratio 129.99% was mainly due to
increase in income, % change in return on
investment is (354.57%) due to redemption of
mutual fund in current year and change in Net
Profit Ratio 109.11% was on account of increase
Net profit in current year.

Except for these, there is no significant change
(i.e. change of more than 25%) in any other key
financial ratio during the current financial year
as compared to the immediately preceding
financial year.

i. Cautionary statement:

Analysis describing the Company's objectives,
projections, estimates and expectations may

defined risk management mechanism covering the
risk mapping and trend analysis of both business and
non-business risks, risk exposure, potential impact
and risk mitigation process. The Audit Committee
