MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW:
Service sector of Indian economy contributes a sizeable part of India`s
GDP. This sector plays a leading role in the economy of India and
contribution in GDP goes upto 59% of the overall average growth in GDP. The
service sector continues to be a star performer as its share in GDP has
climbed from 58% in 2010-2011 to 59% in 2011-2012 with the growth rate of
9.4%. Some of the service sectors that have grown faster than the economy
are information technology, IT enabled services, telecommunications,
financial services etc. The fact that the service sector now accounts for
more than half the GDP marks a watershed in the evolution of the Indian
economy and takes it closer to the fundamentals of a developed economy.
The Company has not carried out any business activities during the
financial year and as such there was no income from operations during the
financial year.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:
The global recession only partially succeeded in slowing the Indian economy
thanks to the continual offsetting growth of service sector to nearly 10%
in the year 2010- 11. The Services Sector continues to remain growth engine
for Indian Economy in the year 2011-2012 also. This will open up ample
opportunities for your company to revive the business activities in future.
The financial and service sector is highly competitive after opening up of
the Indian company, however the growth of the same has been badly affected
after the collapse of the financial system in US & Europe. There is also a
consolidation in the financial and service sector in the recent past. This
will help your company to revive the business operations related to service
sector in future, however the company is required to make a sizeable
investments, which requires a huge cash outflow.
SEGMENT ANALYSIS AND REVIEW:
The activity of the Company was to provide service of Share Transfer
related activity. Therefore the Company operates in a single
business/geographical segment as envisaged in Accounting Standard (AS-17)
issued by the ICAI. Hence segment wise performance is not furnished.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Looking at the opportunities available in the service sector and growth of
the service sector post liberalization, there is a good scope for your
company to revive the business activities related to software and share
transfer related activates apart from venturing into new areas of service
sector. Being a historically well managed company, your company has a good
outlook for the future in Service sector related business activities.

through clear policies and procedures.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
During the year 2011-2012, the total income of the Company was Rs. 2800
compared to Rs. 2100 of the previous year. This was mainly due to
discontinuation of share transfer related activity by the company.
