Reason for rise and fall in Income and Profit After Tax :

 

FINANCIAL YEAR 2001-02:

 

The fall in the Income to Rs 719.51 Lakhs compared to Previous year is contributed mainly by fall in rental income from immovable property by Rs 88.22 lakhs and fall in capital gains. Hence net profit after tax is reduced.

 

FINANCIAL YEAR 2002-03:

 

There is an increase in capital gain on sale of investments by Rs 81.11 lakhs and company has also made a net profit of Rs 603.11 lakhs on account of sale of IIT House. Since company has made Provision of Rs 759.96 lakhs for diminution in the value of investments, the net profit after tax has reduced to Rs 160.13 lakhs.

 

 

 

FINANCIAL YEAR 2003-04:

 

The total income for the year is lower at Rs 932.51 lakhs as compared to Rs 1356.15 Lakhs, mainly due to extraordinary income by way of sale of property at Andheri, Mumbai in the last year. Expenditure during the year at Rs 670.13 lakhs is lower than Rs 1185.66 lakhs last year as a result of lesser provision made for diminution in the value of investments and lower interest expenses. Hence net profit after tax has been increased to Rs 236.74 lakhs.

 

FINANCIAL  YEAR 2004-05: PERIOD ENDED 31st December  2005:

 

The total income for the year is higher of Rs 2243.97 Lakhs as compared to Rs 932.51 lakhs mainly due to increase in profit on sale of long term investments. Since company has made a provision of Rs 2455.67 lakhs towards doubtful deposits, hence the Net loss has been increased to Rs 763.55 lakhs.
