DIVIDEND:
To strengthen the long term prospects and ensuring sustainable growth
in assets and revenue, it is important for your Company to evaluate
various opportunities in which your Company operates. Your Company
currently has several projects under implementation and continues to
explore newer opportunities. Your Board of Directors considers this to
be strategic interest of the Company and believe that this will greatly
enhance the long term Shareholders'' value. In order to fund these
projects of development, expansion and implementation stages,
conservation of funds is of vital importance. In order to balance the
criteria of growth considering the future financial needs of the
Company for its proposed housing projects and at the same time to
provide for returns to the share holders in form of dividend, the
director after careful consideration have proposed a dividend of Re.
0.80 per equity for the financial year 2010-2011.
By this the board has doubled the dividend compared to dividend
declared during the year 2009-2010
MERGER:
Pursuant to resolution of Share holders of the Company approving the
merger of High End Homes Private Limited with your Company, the Hon''ble
High Court of Madras vide its order dated 1st November 2010 sanctioned
the scheme of Amalgamation.
Pursuant to this, the Company issued one equity share of Rs. 10 each
fully paid up for every three equity shares held by the Shareholders in
High End Homes Private Limited and hence 13,495,070 equity shares were
issued to the share holders of High End Homes Private Limited and paid
up equity of Company increased to that extent.
MINERAL WATER PLANT:
As the members are aware, the Company runs a mineral water plant in the
name of Vijay Shanthi. However as the members could observe from the
Company''s financial result, the share of income from the mineral water
segment is 0.83% of the total income. Considering this miniscule
contribution of this segment to Company''s top line, the Board of
Directors propose to exit the Company from mineral water business from
the financial year 2011-12, as the compliance and regulatory
requirement of this segment is disproportionate to the contribution of
this segment to the overall income of the Company.
As the assets deployed by the Company to this segment are very less,
this decision would not involve any substantial sale / dilution in the
value of assets of the Company
CHANGE OF REGISTERED OFFICE:
Your Company has shifted its registered office from Vijay Complex, No.3
Blackers Road, Mount Road, Chennai 600 002 to No.20/43, Kasthuri
Rangan Road, Alwarpet, Chennai 600 018 for operational convenience.
The new office is more spacious and easily accessible by customers and
other stakeholders.
BUSINESS GROWTH AND OUTLOOK
While the demand for Housing continued to increase as ever, the
increase in lending rates by the Bank affected home loan to a large
extent. The increased cost of our home loans came as a dampener for the
home buyers at large.
However the Brand Image and Reputation built by our Company over the
last two decades help the Company to manage this effectively and the
Company continued in its style for launching projects to cater to both
middle income and higher income groups.
The sales of the Company have improved from Rs. 6,766.63 lakhs to Rs.
13571.81 lakhs, show an increase of 101% while the Net Profits before
Tax increase from Rs. 325.04 lakhs to 1,208.61 lakhs, show an increase
of 272%
The Board is very confident that with completion of various residential
projects by the Company in the next coming years both the top line and
the bottom line of the Company are set to witness substantial increase.
