Chairman’s Message
Date : 13.08.2022
Dear Shareholders,
During the year under review, the Construction and Engineering sector continued to face
multiple challenges from lack of capital and credit avenues regulatory burden.
The Indian economy which had been deeply affected by the Covid pandemic was beginning
to make a strong recovery. This has been affected by the crisis in Ukraine and the associated
increases in global energy prices and disruptions in material flows. Increases in steel and
related prices have especially affected our business
As you are aware, over the past couple of years, your company has been affected by significant
cash flow issues and non-availability of working capital. The market for our business has been
improving but we have not been able to tap into it.
The management has been working with the bankers and a new strategic investor to restructure
and revive the company. I am happy to inform you that we have been able to finalise the
investment from Mark AB Capital Investment LLC, a fund based out of Dubai, UAE.
With their investment and strategic direction, I am confident that the company will progress
and will reach new heights.
As part of this investment, the board of your company is being restructured. I will be stepping
down as chairman of your company. I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation towards
my fellow directors, our employees, customers, business associates, suppliers and bankers
who have stood by us during these trying times. Lastly, I would like to thank our shareholders
for their unstinted support. I wish you and your company all the best.
Yours sincerely,
P D Karandikar
(Din No.02142050)

Investment Risk The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on
any particular investment.
Interest risk The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates
will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus
result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Salary Escalation Risk The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary
increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary
in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the
present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
Demographic Risk The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the
liability. The Group is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse
compared to the assumption.
In respect of the plan in India, the most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit
obligation were carried out as at March 31, 2022 by Mr. S. Krishnan, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were
measured using the projected unit credit method.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.

Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Company is
exposed to various risks as follows:
Investment Risk The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected
return on any particular investment.
Interest risk The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest
rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit
and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Salary Escalation Risk The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption
of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of
increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary
used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the
plan’s liability.
Demographic Risk The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation
of the liability. The Group is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out
to be worse compared to the assumption.
In respect of the plan in India, the most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation
were carried out as at March 31, 2022 by Mr. S. Krishnan, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India. The present
value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured
using the projected unit credit method.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
