ANNEXURE TO DIRECTORS' REPORTMANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
The principal business of the Company is investing and lending funds. The financial market turbulence in developed economiesfollowing the US sub-prime mortgage crisis has reduced financial leverage, lowered credit availability and negative wealth effect.The market currently is in the phase of adjustments. Once stability returns there would be clarity on what is going to be next year'sgrowth. Growth is greatly affected by inflation and the on going steep rise in the crude price in the global market.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS i
Significant funds of the Company have been used in investment and lending activities, which are the Company's principal business.The Company is a part of the Williamson Magor Group possessing good business infrastructure. The overall performance ofCompanies in which the Company has invested and lent funds has been satisfactory.
Your Company has entered into a joint venture with Oils Trading Limited, U.K. to facilitate the development of Jatropha Oil seedsfor production of bio-fuel to be blended with petroleum fuel which has tremendous scope.
The fundamentals of the equity market have changed significantly. Inflation rate is higher and the crude prices are also ruling high.Interest rates have hardened, all commodities are getting more and more expensive and the rise in cost of inputs is keeping pressureon margins. The Government and Reserve Bank of India are taking all possible measures to contain inflation and it is expected thatthe country's growth rate will not be adversely affected.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The financial performance of the Company during the year resulted in a loss of Rs. 1.17 crore. The performance was mainly affecteddue to rise in the interest costs and lower income from investments.
OUTLOOK
The high oil price coupled with rising inflation and volatility in the Indian Capital Markets are causes of concern. However, subjectto the improvement in performance of the Companies in which your Company has invested funds and in view of better utilization ofthe immoveable property that the Company owns, barring unforeseen circumstances, your Company hopes to do well in the future.
