The Directors have pleasure in presenting herewith the Thirtieths
Annual Report of the Company together with Audited Accounts for the
year ended 31st March, 2012.
FINANCIAL HIGH LIGHTS:
Particulars 2011-12 2010-11
Rs. Rs.
Total Income 44,835,987 380,348,864
Profit/(loss) before Depreciation (5,629,238) 5,988,794
Less: Depreciation & Amortization 240,001 232,576
Profit / (Loss) before tax (5,869,239) 5,756,218
Provision for tax NIL 1,089,370
Profit/(Loss) after Taxation (5,869,239) 4,705,588
The reported profit after tax is lower due to the fact that your
company decided to clean up balance sheet. The management has written
off the unrealizable balances as well as certain unrealizable
investments worth Rs 103 lacs. The advantage with your company is that
it is still a debt free company.
In continuation with the policy of your company to grow in different
vertical to reduce the dependence on the equity market alone; your
company has been diversifying into distribution business apart from
other main stream businesses. There is no change of vision as your
company has formed its opinion that equity markets are set to test
41000 Sensex by 2015 and this is a good time to leverage businesses as
a going concern.
We could not implement the business restructuring plans in last few
years as the environment of business is continuously shrinking post
LEHMAN issue and global economies are not responding to the changing
environment. Those who tried to expand with leveraged debts are facing
difficult challenges and going through the most difficult phase of
their business. Your company is now hopeful to raise funds through
equity and complete the business restructuring in F Y 12-13.
FATE OF ACHIEVEMENT:
Your company which has strategic partnerships with the best global
agencies in the world has been chosen for the prestigious award
Rashtriya Udyog Ratna Award and Quality Brand from Council
for Economic Growth and Research (CEGR) for company''s outstanding
contribution to society and to the nation. The fact that your company''s
content has been picked by NY times FT USA clearly suggests that the
quality of the content is world class. Your company has been invited by
many international rating and performance agencies for awards in the
field of research.
Even with regard to the research, your company ranked no 1 in India as
it has maintained 95% strike rate in calls generated in A gr investment
and trading. The performance of your company is exhibited on the home
page of the website of your company www.cniglobalbiz.com
The same is also made available in the Annual accounts for your ready
reference. The management will be delighted if the stake holders take
advantage of the expertise of your company for the individual gains.
The continued association of all global agencies along with fresh
addition to ties ups like ISI Emerging Market UK and Bloomberg USA
clearly speaks high about the quality and brand of your company.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
Today India is the fastest growing economy behind China this means that
our financial sector is performing very well and to achieve faster
growth our financial sector would have to be wider in the sense that
small companies should be given an opportunity to grow by providing
them with the finance.
The company has entered into a content sharing agreement with Thompson
Reuters, Capital IQ a division of Standard & Poor''s, Dow Jones Factiva
a division of Dow Jones and TheMarkets.com division of Standard and
Poor USA, Blue Matrix and ISI Emerging markets UK and Bloomberg for
providing content and research on small and mid cap companies. This has
helped the company to build its brand and make it an international
brand. The process of creation of global subsidiaries is under planning
stage as your company is very conservative in expansion in the current
environment as the same has to be done with internal accrual rather
than debts.
Time are changing very fast and the idea of setting first of its kind
of research house is finding wide acceptance globally.
Your company had also entered into high growth area such as investment
banking and other financial solutions which are incidental to the core
business of your company. Your company is now looking as fund based
activities which can top line and bottom line to your company.
RISK:
The weak global sentiments and fearsome approach of investors has
affected your company too in the last fiscal. The consensus opinion
among the investor''s community and trader''s community is that India''s
policy makers need to address the major concerns of Indian capital
market which are overdue for last one decade. The return of retail
investors is highly dependent on the introduction of physical
settlement in the derivative segment and also the reforms to phase out
the manual handling of important issues which made more than 2000
companies illiquid that is trade to trade movement of stocks under the
garb of surveillance. So long as this will remain in the current state,
we do not think that the broad base entry of retail investors can be
seen Indian terrain.
The Ups and Downs of capital market has direct bearing on the revenue
of the company and to counter the same your company has made sizable
investments out of the current profits which are profitable. It was
prudently decided by the management to invest in technology, investment
opportunities instead of creating physical assets at this juncture. It
has also checked the costs which will protect the business even in slum
times. In internet business managing rising costs becomes a key subject
of interest for investors, as they add employees and build up their
infrastructures to support both expansion and ambitious innovation
agendas.
