2. Management Discussion and Analysis
Financial Review

Your Company recorded a total income of Rs. 67.90 lakhs
and has incurred a net loss of Rs. 333.53 lakhs during the
year under review compared to previous year's income of
Rs. 102.51 lakhs and net loss of Rs. 13.10 lakhs. The
Company's dealings in earthing materials and lightning
protection systems including installation in the electrical
engineering segment have been categorised under the
head “Trading” for the purpose of segment reporting in the
annual accounts for the year under review. The entertainment
segment has generated revenue of Rs. Nil during the Year
under review as compared to revenue of Rs 1.69 Lakhs in
Previous Year.

Industry Structure and Development

Your Company had been able to execute the contracts awarded
to it in the electrical engineering under the trading segment.
The power utilities, electronics and other hi-tech centres,
where earthing is important, are its target customers apart
from high-rise buildings, hotels, residential units, etc. However,
sustained growth in this segment requires substantial capital
infusion which remains a major constraint. The Company is
closely monitoring the current market scenario and economic
situation in order to improve its growth.

In amusement park segment, the operations of Amusement
Park at Kanpur could not resume because the lease of park had
not been renewed by concerned authority inspite of vigorous
follow up. The Company has amongst others initiated legal
recourse and the matter is sub-judice. The lease of Lucknow
Park had expired in 2019. The Company had handed over the
Lucknow Park to authorities after the matter has been settled
with them.

Outlook, Risks and Concerns

As already reported, the operation of amusement park at
Kanpur has not resumed due to non- renewal of lease by
concerned authority. With no inflows, the fixed expenses
related to said unit continue to pose challenge on revenues
of the Company. The Board of Directors in its meeting held

on 13.08.2024 approved the closing of amusement park at
Kanpur and subsequently dues of concerned employees were
settled. The efforts to settle the matter of leased premises with
concerned authorities including legal proceedings related
thereto are being made for early resolution. The trading
segment, dealing in earthing and lightning protection systems
business has garnered lower revenue compared to previous
year.

The Company has a risk management framework that includes
identification and mitigation of risks. The Company is taking
all possible measures with a view to ensuring sustainable
business growth and promoting a proactive approach in
evaluating and resolving risks associated with the business.

Opportunities and Threats

The Company is exposed to normal industry risks. In trading
segment, the Company deploys the latest technology for
earthing and lightning protection installations, which leads
to better protection from electrical hazards. The Company
is aiming at spreading awareness of its products and also
securing credentials from its existing clients about the
superiority of its products to meet the challenge.

Internal Financial Control Systems

The Company has in place a proper and adequate system
of internal control to monitor proper recording of transactions
authorized according to prescribed policies and procedures.
The Company ensures that all regulatory guidelines are
complied with at all levels.

The Audit Committee reviews the internal control mechanism
periodically.

Human Resource/ Industrial Relations Front

The relationship with the employees has remained cordial
during the year and the Directors place on record their sincere
appreciation in this regard.

Under the provisions of Section 197 of the Companies
Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Appointment and
Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014, as
amended, there was no employee during the year drawing
remuneration more than the stipulated amount in the said
rules. The number of employees on the Company's rolls stood
at 4 as on 31/03/2025.

Cautionary Statement

describing the Company's projections, estimates, expectations
or predictions may be ‘forward looking statements' within
the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. Actual
results could differ materially from those expressed or
implied. Important factors that would make a difference to
the Company's operations include changes in government
regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within the
country and abroad and other relevant factors.

3. Dividend and Reserves

As Company has incurred loss during the year under review,
no dividend is recommended by the Board and no amount
has been transferred to the general reserve.

4. Material Changes & Commitments

The unit of amusement park at Kanpur was closed down
permanently pursuant to Board's decision dated 13.08.2024.
The operations in trading of electrical goods has took a dip

13. Corporate Social Responsibility

The Company is not required to comply with provisions
relating to corporate social responsibility since it does not
meet the criteria of applicability of provisions of Section 135 of
the Companies Act, 2013.

14. Evaluation of Board/Committees/Individual Directors

The aim of the Board's evaluation is to assess the effectiveness
of the Board's/Committee's processes, composition and
arrangement in order to identify and realize any actions
required to improve their effectiveness. The Companies Act,
2013 states that a formal annual evaluation needs to be carried
out by the Board or Nomination and Remuneration committee
or external agency of the Board's performance and that of
its Committees and individual directors. As per the provisions
of Section 178 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee is required to prescribe the
manner for effective evaluation of performance of Board, its
Committees and individual directors so that the evaluation
can be carried out by the Board or the said Committee or an
external agency appointed for this purpose. Further, Section
134 read with Schedule IV of the Companies Act, 2013 states
that the performance evaluation of Independent Directors
shall be carried out by the entire Board of Directors, excluding
the director being evaluated. Independent Directors at its
meeting carry out annually, the evaluation of Non-Independent
Directors and the Chairman.

Board conducts on an annual basis an evaluation of the
performance of the directors as to whether each director has
sufficient time to discharge his/her responsibilities, taking
into consideration multiple Board representations and other
principal commitments.

The Board through its Nomination and Remuneration
Committee has laid down the evaluation criteria for the
performance of executive/ non-executive / independent
directors through a peer-evaluation mechanism.

The evaluation process comprises:

• Board, Committee and management information and
other relevant documentation.

• Discussions with all Board members, Committee
members focusing on aspects of the Board's and
Committee's composition, strategy, risk and controls,
decision-making, roles and performance of the Chairman,
independent directors, executive directors and other non¬
executive directors.

16. Evaluation and Training of Directors/Independent
Directors

Given the experience and qualifications of the Board members,
the Board has not considered it necessary to engage external
persons to facilitate the evaluation process as they themselves
are accustomed to having their performance regularly
evaluated. However, regular updates relating to regulatory,
and industry's performance are provided to members of
Board, besides any other aspect relevant to business of
the Company. The Board also exercises an oversight of the
training of Board /Committee members.

The directors are thus kept abreast of requisite information
about business activities of the Company and risks involved
therein to enable them to discharge their responsibilities in
the best possible manner. Further, at the time of appointment,
the Company issues a formal appointment letter outlining
his/her role, duties and responsibilities as an Independent

Director. The format of the letter of appointment is available
on Company's website.

17. Directors Responsibility Statement

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 134(3)(c) of the
Companies Act, 2013, the Directors hereby confirm:

financial year ended 31st March, 2025, the applicable
accounting standards have been followed, along with
proper explanation relating to material departures;

19. Vigil Mechanism

Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires every listed
company to establish a vigil mechanism for the directors and
employees to report genuine concerns in such manner as
may be prescribed. The Company has adopted the policy for
implementing Vigil Mechanism.

Vigil (whistle blower) mechanism provides a channel to
the employees and directors to report to the management
concerns about unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud
or violation of the code of conduct or policy. The mechanism
provides for adequate safeguards against victimization of
directors and employees who avail of the mechanism and
also provide for direct access to the Chairman of the Audit
Committee in exceptional cases.

This policy applies to all directors and employees of the
Company. All directors and employees of the Company are
eligible to make disclosures under this Policy in relation to
