2. Management Discussion and Analysis
Financial Review

Your Company recorded a total income of Rs. 102.51 lakhs
and has incurred a net loss of Rs. 13.10 lakhs during the
year under review compared to previous year's income of
Rs. 64.11 lakhs and net loss of Rs. 25.53 lakhs. The revenue
in the segment of the marketing of earthing products and
execution of contracts for earthing and lightning protection
systems has increased to Rs. 54.24 lakhs i.e. by Rs. 27.52
lakhs as compared to Rs. 26.72 lakhs in the previous year.
The Company's dealings in earthing materials and lightning
protection systems including installation in the electrical
engineering segment have been categorised under the head
“Trading” for the purpose of segment reporting in the annual
accounts for the year under review. The Entertainment
segment has generated a revenue of Rs. 1.69 lakhs during the
year under review compared to previous year's Nil revenue.

Industry Structure and Development

Your Company had been able to execute the contracts awarded
to it in the electrical engineering under the trading segment.
The power utilities, electronics and other hi-tech centres,
where earthing is important, are its target customers apart
from high-rise buildings, hotels, residential units, etc. However,
sustained growth in this segment requires substantial capital
infusion which remains a major constraint. The Company is
closely monitoring the current market scenario and economic
situation in order to improve its growth.

In amusement park segment, the operations of Amusement
Park at Kanpur could not resume because the lease of
park had not been renewed by concerned authority inspite
of vigorous follow up. The Company has amongst others
initiated legal recourse and the matter is sub-judice. The
lease of Lucknow Park had expired in 2019. The Company
had handed over the Lucknow Park to authorities after the
matter has been settled with them.

Outlook, Risks and Concerns

As already reported, the operation of amusement park at
Kanpur has not resumed due to non- renewal of lease by
concerned authority. With no inflows, the fixed expenses
related to said unit continue to pose challenge on revenues
of the Company. The recurring loss in this segment is being

closely monitored to keep it to the minimum. The management
is examining the option to close down the unit permanently
since no breakthrough in renewal of lease process is foreseen
in near future and about 3 years have passed since expiry of
lease. The decision, however, will be taken as a last measure
after examining all aspects. The trading segment, dealing
in earthing and lightning protection systems business has
garnered more revenue compared to previous year.

The Company has a risk management framework that
includes identification and mitigation of risks. The Company
is taking all possible measures with a view to ensuring
sustainable business growth and promoting a proactive
approach in evaluating and resolving risks associated with
the business.

Opportunities and Threats

The Company is exposed to normal industry risks attributable
to respective segments. In order to meet the challenge
of strained margins in amusement segment, the strategy
is to get the lease of Kanpur renewed at the earliest and
simultaneously to explore avenues for diversification. In
trading segment, the Company deploys the latest technology
for earthing and lightning protection installations, which leads
to better protection from electrical hazards. The Company
is aiming at spreading awareness of its products and also
securing credentials from its existing clients about the
superiority of its products to meet the challenge.

Internal Financial Control Systems

The Company has in place a proper and adequate system
of internal control to monitor proper recording of transactions
authorized according to prescribed policies and procedures.
The Company ensures that all regulatory guidelines are
complied with at all levels.

The Audit Committee reviews the internal control mechanism
periodically.

Human Resource/ Industrial Relations Front

The relationship with the employees has remained cordial
during the year and the Directors place on record their sincere
appreciation in this regard.

Under the provisions of Section 197 of the Companies
Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Appointment and
Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014, as
amended, there was no employee during the year drawing
remuneration more than the stipulated amount in the said
rules. The number of employees on the Company's rolls
stood at 14 as on 31/03/2024.

Cautionary Statement

describing the Company's projections, estimates, expectations
or predictions may be ‘forward looking statements' within
the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. Actual
results could differ materially from those expressed or
implied. Important factors that would make a difference to
the Company's operations include changes in government
regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within the
country and abroad and other relevant factors.

3. Dividend and Reserves

As Company has incurred loss during the year under review,
no dividend is recommended by the Board and no amount
has been transferred to the general reserve.

4. Material Changes & Commitments

The amusement park operations remained closed due to non¬
renewal of lease of park at Kanpur. The operations in trading
of electrical goods has fared better in spite of competition
and slow response from real estate sector. Other than the
aforesaid, there were no material changes and commitments
affecting the financial position of the Company during the year
under review.

16. Evaluation and Training of Directors/Independent
Directors

Given the experience and qualifications of the Board
members, the Board has not considered it necessary
to engage external persons to facilitate the evaluation
process as they themselves are accustomed to having
their performance regularly evaluated. However, regular
updates relating to regulatory, and industry's performance
are provided to members of Board, besides any other
aspect relevant to business of the Company. The Board also
exercises an oversight of the training of Board /Committee
members.

The directors are thus kept abreast of requisite information
about business activities of the Company and risks involved
therein to enable them to discharge their responsibilities in
the best possible manner. Further, at the time of appointment,
the Company issues a formal appointment letter outlining
his/her role, duties and responsibilities as an Independent
Director. The format of the letter of appointment is available
on Company's website.
