SECTION II – RISK FACTORS RISK FACTORS ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT’S PROPOSALS TO ADDRESS THE RISKS An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the information in this Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares of the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer, the trading price of the Equity Shares of the Company could decline, and the investor may lose all or part of his investment. Materiality The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for determining the materiality: a) Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively. b) Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively. c) Some events may not be material at present but may be having material impacts in future. The risk factors are as envisaged by the management along with the proposals to address the risk if any. Wherever possible, the financial impact of the risk factors has been quantified. INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

1. Outstanding Litigations/ disputes/ cases pending against the Company. The Income Tax Department has alleged that Company has underpaid Income Tax over the years to the tune of Rs 20,96,632/-. In this regard, our company had filed an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Ahmedabad on 15/01/2008 against Order dated 31/12/2007 passed by the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, Mehsana Circle, Mehsana. The Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax vide its aforesaid Order computed the tax liability to Rs 20,96,632/- along with interest. The company has deposited Rs 10,50,000/- on 18/01/2008 with the department for the said appeal. The company has also preferred an appeal against initiation of penalty proceedings u/s. 217 (1) (c) and hence the nature of penalty cannot be quantified.

2. Our Company is not registered as Non- Banking Financial Company (NBFC) with RBI.

The company has been carrying on business of trading in shares and securities for the last 4 years, without registration with RBI as a NBFC. RBI may therefore initiate suitable action against the company for the same. The Board of Directors of the Company have however passed a resolution in their meeting held on 31/01/2009 that the company will discontinue its share trading business with immediate effect, save and except for the purpose of disinvestment of the investment portfolio’s of the company. The company has now diversified into infrastructure and real estate activities and accordingly amended its Object Clause in the Memorandum of Association.

DIAMANT

Diamant Investment and Finance Limited

- 8 -

3. Our Company had decided to venture into infrastructure and real estate activity, without any prior experience.

The company has overcome this by employing experienced personnel, to help carrying out its operations. The company has ventured into infrastructure and real estate activities in the year 2007-08 and has already completed works to the extent of Rs. 940.43 Lacs till date.

4. Our Company has not identified alternate sources of financing the Objects for which the present rights issue is being made and may be severely affected in timely execution of our contracts and in our ability to bid for further contracts, if we fail to mobilize resources as per our plans.

5. The Promoter Company Saboo Capital and Securities Private Limited is not registered as Non- Banking Financial Company (NBFC) with RBI.

6. We have not yet placed orders for the entire range of equipments (amounting to Rs. 768.80 lacs), which constitutes 61 % of the total proceeds proposed to be raised.

These equipements are readily available in the market and can be procured within a short period of time. Therefore, the order for these equipments will be placed as and when the funds are available.

7. The logo used by the company is not registered.

Our Company conducts its business using the logo “ DIAMANT ”, which is not yet registered. We may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of our logo by any third party, which may adversely affect our operations and reputation.

8. Our profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected in the event of increases in the price of raw materials, fuel costs and labour. The cost of raw materials, fuel and labour constitutes a significant part of our operating expenses. Our construction operations require various construction raw materials including iron and cement. Our ability to pass on increases in the purchase price of raw materials, fuel and other inputs may be limited to the escalation provisions in the contracts.

9. Our construction contracts are dependent on adequate and timely supply of key raw

materials at commercially acceptable prices. Construction contracts are primarily dependent on adequate and timely supply of raw materials such as cement, steel, aggregates etc. at competitive prices. In case the Company is unable to procure the requisite quantities of raw materials well in time and at competitive prices, the performance and profitability of the Company may be adversely affected.

10. We have high working capital requirements. If we experience insufficient cash flow which

restrain us to make required payments on our debt or fund working capital requirements, there may be an adverse effect on our results of operations. The Company has not approached any Bank for financing part of its working capital requirements. Our business requires a great deal of working capital. In many cases, significant amounts of working capital are required to finance the purchase of materials, the hiring of equipment and the performance of engineering, construction and other work on projects before payments are

Page 11: DIAMANT INVESTMENT AND FINANCE LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · WMM Wet Mix Macadam . DIAMANT Diamant Investment and Finance Limited - 5 - PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND USE OF

DIAMANT

Diamant Investment and Finance Limited

- 9 -

received from clients. In certain cases, we are contractually obligated to our clients to fund the working capital requirements of our projects. Our working capital requirements may increase if, under certain contracts, payment terms do not include advance payments or such contracts have payment schedules that shift payments toward the end of a project or otherwise increase our working capital burdens. In addition, our working capital requirements have increased in recent years because we have undertaken a growing number of projects within a similar timeframe and due to the growth of our Company’s business generally. Delays in receipt of our dues from the client’s, may result, in increases in our working capital needs.

Working capital requirement of Rs. 150 Lacs, out of the total working capital requirement of is Rs 450 lacs, is proposed to be financed by the proposed Rights Issue. The company will approach the banks for financing part of its working capital requirement in due course of time.

11. Projects included in our order book may be delayed, cancelled or not fully paid for by our clients, which could materially harm our cash flow position, revenues and earnings. The Company’s Order Book does not necessarily indicate future earnings related to the performance of that work. Order Book represents business that is considered firm, but cancellations or scope or schedule adjustments may occur. Delays in the completion of a project can lead to clients delaying or refusing to make payment to the Company of some or all of the amounts it expects to be paid in respect of the project. These payments often represent a significant portion of the margin the Company expects to earn on the project. In addition, even where a project proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the contracting parties may default or otherwise fail to pay amounts owed. Any delay, reduction in scope, cancellation, execution difficulty, payment postponement or payment default in regard to Order Book projects or any other uncompleted projects, or disputes with clients in respect of any of the foregoing, could materially harm the Company’s cash flow position, revenues and earnings.

12. Any inability to attract, recruit and retain skilled personnel could adversely affect our

business and results of operations. The Company’s business substantially depends on the continued service of its key managerial personnel and loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Its future success will also depend on its ability to attract and retain skilled personnel, such as engineering, project management and senior management professionals. If the Company fails to retain its current employees and attract new employees with potential, its reputation may be harmed and future earnings may be negatively impacted.

13. Our business may be adversely affected by losses from uninsured assets and projects

The Company has not taken out any insurance policy except vehicle insurance and workmens compensation insurance to the tune of Rs. 16.20 lacs. Our business may be adversely affected due to work accidents, fire or explosion, including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, theft, equipment failure, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage.

14. Our operations are seasonal and are adversely affected by difficult working conditions

during extreme high/low temperatures and monsoon which restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources.

Our revenues are based on the percentage of completion method. Since revenues are not recognized until there is a reasonable progress on a contract, revenues recorded in the first half of our financial year between April and September are traditionally lower compared to revenues recorded during the second half of our financial year. During periods of curtailed activity due to

Page 12: DIAMANT INVESTMENT AND FINANCE LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · WMM Wet Mix Macadam . DIAMANT Diamant Investment and Finance Limited - 5 - PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND USE OF

DIAMANT

Diamant Investment and Finance Limited

- 10 -

adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operation expenses, but our revenues from operations may be delayed or reduced.

15. We have not obtained any third party appraisals for our Project and our funding

requirements and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates, which are based on quotations received by us. Quotations may undergo a change which may result in increase in project cost and hence requirement of fund, which could result in delay in implementation of project.

16. Any negative cash flow in the future could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We had a negative net cash flow amounting to Rs. 357.44 lacs for the year ended March 31, 2009 from Investing activities mainly because of our decision to stop investment business and selling our investments at loss.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS The following factors that are beyond the control of the Company, which could have a negative impact on its performance:

1. Our business may be affected by prevailing economic conditions in India There could be project delays due to unfavorable climatic conditions or transportation delays, which may affect the overheads and increase the financing cost, on account of material, machinery and workforce that is employed at the construction site. Political, economic, social developments, natural calamity, acts of violence or war could adversely affect the industrial and commercial operations in the Country thereby affecting the business of the Company. Global, economic and political factors that are beyond the Company’s controls influence the forecasts and directly affect performance. These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of governments, inflation, deflation, natural disasters, consumer credit availability, consumer debt levels, tax rates and policy, unemployment trends, terrorist threats and activities, worldwide military and domestic disturbances and conflicts, and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude. Increases in interest rates may increase the Company’s financing costs. The taxation system within the country still remains complex. Any change in the regulatory environment may have an impact on the business of the Company.

2. Terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence or war involving India and other countries could adversely affect our business

Terrorist attacks or acts of war may seriously harm the business of the company. Terrorist attacks may cause damage or disruption to the company, its employees, its facilities, its projects, and its customers, which could impact the results from operations. Any future terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks, or other acts of war or hostility may cause greater uncertainty and cause the business to suffer in ways that the company currently cannot predict.

3. The performance of our business may be adversely affected by changes in, or the

regulatory policies of, the Indian national, state and local governments

Our business may be adversely affected by the regulatory policies of the various Indian central, state and local governmental bodies for Income Tax Concession, Interest rate on housing loans, etc. Any changes in the tax laws in India particularly in Income Tax might lead to increased tax liability of the company thereby putting pressures on profitability.

4. After this Issue, our equity shares may experience price and volume fluctuations or an active trading market for our equity shares may not develop

The price of the Company’s equity shares in Indian stock exchanges may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several factors, including: a) Volatility in the Indian and Global securities market; b) The results of operations and performance; c) Change in perceptions about the Company’s future performance or the performance of other

Indian companies in the same industry; d) Performance of the Company’s competitors in the industry and market perception of

investors in the sector; e) Adverse media reports on the performance of the Company or on the industry prospects and

future outlook; f) Changes in the estimates of the Company’s performance or recommendation by financial

analysts;

g) Significant development in India’s economic liberalisation and deregulation policies; and h) Significant development in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the equity shares will develop or be sustained after this Issue, or that prices at which the Company’s equity shares are initially offered will correspond to the prices at which the Company’s equity shares will trade in the market subsequent to this issue. The Company’s share price could be volatile and may also decline.

5. Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity

Shares. The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Indian stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. These exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements. Further, disputes have occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Indian stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar problems occur in the future, the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares could be adversely affected.

6. Political instability could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and our business and results of operations in particular.

We are an Indian company and all of our assets and employees are located in India. Consequently, our financial performance and the market price of our shares will be affected by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, governmental policies, including taxation policies, as well as political, social and economic developments affecting India.

7. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our

business to suffer.

India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, a tsunami, floods and drought in the past few years. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and may cause suspension, delays or damage to our current projects and operations, which may adversely affect our business and our results of operations.

SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Construction activity is an integral part of a country’s infrastructure and industrial development.

Besides, the construction industry generates substantial employment and provides a growth impetus to other sectors through backward and forward linkages. It is, essential therefore, that, this vital activity is nurtured for the healthy growth of the economy. The Government of India’s focus and sustained increased budgetary allocation and increased funding by international and multilateral development finance institutions for infrastructure development in India has resulted in or is expected to result in several large infrastructure projects. The Government has developed various alternate sources of raising funding for infrastructure projects, including the levy of cess on petrol and diesel, which is being used to fund the road projects such as the Golden Quadrilateral and the North –South – East – West corridors. With a total length of approximately 3.3 million kilometers, India has the second largest road network in the world. Roads have played a vital role in transportation and also enhancing trade. The government has taken initiatives to improve and strengthen the network of National Highways, State Highways and roads in major districts and rural areas. The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the country’s economy. The real estate sector is second only to agriculture in terms of employment generation and contributes heavily towards the gross domestic product (GDP). Moreover, the real estate sector is also responsible for the development of over 250 ancillary industries such as cement, steel, paints etc. The real estate sector in India has observed a quite revolution over the past decade thanks to India’s booming economy which has led to an increased demand for both commercial and residential space. For further details on our Industry, please refer section titled “Industry Overview” on page no. 45 in this Draft Letter of Offer.

Besides, the construction industry generates substantial employment and provides a growth impetus to other sectors through backward and forward linkages. It is, essential therefore, that, this vital activity is nurtured for the healthy growth of the economy. National Highways And Roads The Government of India’s focus and sustained increased budgetary allocation and increased funding by international and multilateral development finance institutions for infrastructure development in India has resulted in or is expected to result in several large infrastructure projects. The Government has developed various alternate sources of raising funding for infrastructure projects, including the levy of cess on petrol and diesel, which is being used to fund the road projects such as the Golden Quadrilateral and the North –South – East – West corridors. With a total length of approximately 3.3 million kilometers, India has the second largest road network in the world. Roads have played a vital role in transportation and also enhancing trade. The government has taken initiatives to improve and strengthen the network of National Highways, State Highways and roads in major districts and rural areas. The Indian road network is divided into :

S. No Particulars Length ( in Km)1 Expressways 2002 National Highways 665903 State Highways 1318994 Major District Roads 4677635 Rural and Other Roads 2650000 TOTAL 3316452

About 65% of freight and 80% passenger traffic is carried by roads. The National Highways constitute only about 2% of the road network but cater to about 40% of the road transport demand in the country. (Source:www.nhai.org) The government has embarked upon an integrated National Highways Development Programme (NHDP). A major part of NHDP is the Golden Quadrilateral project. It entails upgrading and widening of 6,000 km of highways connecting the four major metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkatta. The government is also undertaking the North-South and East-West Corridor projects. These projects comprise about 7,000 kms of highways connecting Srinagar (North) with Kanyakumari (South) and Silchar (East) with Porbandar (West).

The Tenth Plan has stressed the need for improving mobility and accessibility. While the NHDP is expected to improve mobility, the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is aimed at providing accessibility, especially to villages. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), was launched by the Govt. of India to provide connectivity to unconnected rural Habitations as part of a poverty reduction strategy. Government of India is endeavoring to set high and uniform technical and management standards and facilitating policy development and planning at State level in order to ensure sustainable management of the rural roads network. In the first phase, habitations (hamlets) of population of 1000 (500 in the case of Hill States, tribal and Desert areas) and above will be covered. In the second phase habitations of population of 500(250 in the case of Hill States, tribal and Desert areas) will be covered. About 368,000 km of new road construction and 370,000 km of upgradation/renewal is expected to be done at a cost of about $26 billion. Since inception till 12th March 2009 total projects amounting to Rs. 80486.69 Crore for 327015.269 kms of roads/pavements covering 140657 habitations under this scheme were sanctioned. (http://pmgsyonline.nic.in) Keeping in view the need for nationwide connectivity and mobility, the Committee on Infrastructure chaired by the Prime Minister proposed an expanded programme for highway development on the 13 January 2005. The proposed programme for the next seven years (2005-12) includes completion of:

• GQ and NSEW corridors (NHDP I &II)

The NHDP Phase I and Phase II comprise of the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) linking the four metropolitan cities in India i.e. Delhi-Mumbai-Chennai-Kolkata, the North-South corridor connecting Srinagar to Kanyakumari including the Kochi-Salem spur and the East-West Corridor connecting Silchar to Porbandar besides port connectivity and some other projects on National Highways. Four-laning of the Golden Quadrilateral is nearing completion. The contracts for projects forming part of NS-EW corridors are being awarded rapidly for completion by December 2009.

• Four-laning of 10,000 kms (NHDP-III)

The Union Cabinet has approved the four-laning of 10,000 km of high density national highways, through the Build, Operation & Transfer (BOT) mode. The programme consists of stretches of National Highways carrying high volume of traffic, connecting state capitals with the NHDP Phases I and II network and providing connectivity to places of economic, commercial and tourist importance.

• Two laning of 20,000 km (NHDP-IV) With a view to providing balanced and equitable distribution of the improved/widened highways network throughout the country, NHDP-IV envisages upgradation of 20,000 kms of such highways into two-lane highways, at an indicative cost of Rs.25,000 crore. This will ensure that their capacity, speed and safety match minimum benchmarks for national highways.

• Six-laning of 6,500 kms (NHDP-V) Under NHDP-V, the Committee on Infrastructure has approved the six-laning of the four-lane highways comprising the Golden Quadrilateral and certain other high density stretches, through PPPs on BOT basis. These corridors have been four-laned under the first phase of NHDP, and the programme for their six-laning will commence in 2006, to be completed by 2012. Of the 6,500 kms proposed under NHDP-V, about 5,700 kms shall be taken up in the GQ and the balance 800 kms would be selected on the basis of approved eligibility criteria.

• Development of 1000 km of expressways (NHDP-VI)

With the growing importance of certain urban centres of India, particularly those located within a few hundred kilometers of each other, expressways would be both viable and beneficial. The Committee on Infrastructure has approved 1000 km of expressways to be developed on a BOT basis, at an indicative cost of Rs.15,000 crore. These expressways would be constructed on new alignments.

• Other Highway Projects (NHDP-VII)

The development of ring roads, byepasses, grade separators and service roads is considered necessary for full utilization of highway capacity as well as for enhanced safety and efficiency. For this, a programme for development of such features at an indicative cost of Rs.15,000 crore, has been mandated.

• Accelerated Road Development Programme for the North East Region

The Accelerated North-East Road Development Project is under consideration, which will mainly provide connectivity to all the State capitals and district headquarters in the north-east. The proposal would include upgrading other stretches on NH and state highways considered critical for economic development of the north-east region.

Targets are to be achieved through restructuring and strengthening of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the main implementing agency for the expanded programme; developing Modal Concession Agreements for BOT projects and for operation, maintenance and tolling of completed NHDP stretches; addressing bottlenecks in ongoing projects arising from State level constraints, delays in environmental clearance, problems in land acquisition; focus on traffic management and safety related issues etc. The four-laning of 10,000 km of National Highways by March 2010 under NHDP III would be done entirely through the BOT route. A Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for the North Eastern Region (also called NHDP-NE) is envisaged for improving connectivity in the north-eastern states. This would include a road length of 7639 km comprising 3251 km of NH and 4388 km of other roads. The network is expected to act as catalyst for the development of the region. (Source : http//planningcommission.nic.in) Indian Real Estate Sector The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the country’s economy. The real estate sector is second only to agriculture in terms of employment generation and contributes heavily towards the gross domestic product (GDP). Five per cent of the country's GDP is contributed to by the housing sector. The real estate sector is also responsible for the development of over 250 ancillary industries such as cement, steel, paints etc. A study by rating agency ICRA shows that the construction industry ranks 3rd among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect and induced effects in all sectors of the economy. A unit increase in expenditure in this sector has a multiplier effect and the capacity to generate income as high as five times. If the economy grows at the rate of 10 per cent, the housing sector has the capacity to grow at 14 per cent and generate 3.2 million new jobs over a decade. The real estate sector in India has observed a quite revolution over the past decade thanks to India’s booming economy which has led to an increased demand for both commercial and residential space. According to a study by a leading industry chamber, the Indian real estate sector is expected to grow at 30 per cent over the next decade, attracting foreign investments worth US$ 30 billion. The double-digit growth is mainly attributed to India’s booming off-shore business, including high-end technology consulting, call centres and software businesses. The IT and ITES sector alone is estimated to require 150 million sq ft of office space across urban India by 2010. Organised retail is also responsible for the growth in commercial office space requirement. The organised retail industry is likely to require an additional 220 million sq ft by 2010. Moreover, growth is not restricted to a few towns and cities but is pan-India, covering nearly all tier-I and tier-II cities. Almost 80 per cent of real estate developed in India is residential space, the rest comprising of offices, shopping malls, hotels and hospitals. According to the Tenth Five-Year-Plan, there is a shortage of 22.4 million dwelling units. Apart from the huge demand, India also scores on the construction front. A McKinsey report reveals that the average profit from construction in India is 18 per cent, which is double the profitability for a construction project undertaken in the US. Government Initiatives

The government has introduced many progressive reform measures to unlock the potential of the sector and also meet increasing demand levels. The government's recently announced stimulus package, coupled with the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) move allowing banks to provide special treatment to the real estate sector, is likely to impact the Indian real estate sector in a positive way. RBI has decided to extend exceptional concessional treatment to the commercial real estate exposure and restructured it to June 30, 2009.

• 100 per cent FDI allowed in realty projects through the automatic route.

• In case of integrated townships, the minimum area to be developed has been brought down to 25 acres from 100 acres.

• Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (ULCRA) repealed by increasingly larger number of states.

• Enactment of Special Economic Zones Act.

• Minimum capital investment for wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures stands at US$ 10 million and US$ 5 million, respectively.

• Full repatriation of original investment after three years.

• 51 per cent FDI allowed in single-brand retail outlets and 100 per cent in cash-and-carry through the automatic route.

Besides the above measures, the government has recently announced an economic stimulus package keeping in mind the impact of the global slowdown on the Indian real estate sector. Public sector banks will shortly announce a package for home loan borrowers in two categories — up to US$ 10,626.74 and between US$ 10,626.74– US$ 42,507.. This is expected to increase borrowing for homes and in turn give a boost to the realty sector. Moreover, excise duty cuts on cement and steel will bring down construction costs.

OUR HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE The company Diamant Investment and Finance Ltd was originally incorporated as Diamant Carbon & Graphite Products Limited on 29th July, 1980 in the state of Gujarat It has obtained the Certificate of Commencement of Business on 2nd March, 1981. Subsequently, the company has changed its name to Diamant Investment and Finance Limited on 1st February, 2005. The Registered Office of our Company is situated at 9, Beau Moon Chambers, 27/33, Nagindas Master Road, Fort, Mumbai-400 023 The company made an Initial Public Offering in September 1982 for issue of 3,50,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each for cash at par to the Public, through prospectus dated 15th July 1982 to part finance the cost of setting up a plant for manufacturing of 1000 Tons per annum of Silicon Carbide/Graphite Crucibles, its accessories and other carbon and graphite products at Mehsana (Gujarat), an industrially backward area. In the year 2003, due to losses incurred during the two previous financial years 2000-2001 & 2001-2002, the company had no other alternative but either to sell off the company as a going concern or to sell manufacturing facility by way of slump sale with a view to stop further erosion of capital in the beneficial interest of the shareholders. Accordingly the company disposed off the manufacturing facility, viz. crucible manufacturing business at Gujarat to M/s. Vesuvius India Limited, Kolkata for a consideration of Rs. 3.89 crores excluding the liabilities such as secured loans and unsecured loans, gratuity, compensation/ retrenchment of employee/ workers and other miscellaneous liabilities and a sum of Rs. 1.23 crores towards business support service fees. Thus, the company was able to liquidate total secured and unsecured loans and other liabilities and had surplus balance. As there was no business operation at Gujarat, the Company decided to shift the Registered Office from the State of Gujarat to the State of Maharashtra and started the investment activities. On September 5, 2005, Vision Sales Private Limited and Saboo Capital and Securities Private Limited (Acquirers) had entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire in aggregate 6,15,723 fully paid-up Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each representing 51.31% of Paid-up Equity Share Capital and 51.35% of Voting Capital of DIFL at a price of Rs. 23.50/- (Rupees Twenty Three and Fifty Paise only) per share payable in cash from the then existing shareholders of the Promoters Group.

• General economic and business conditions As a company operating in India, we are affected by the general economic conditions in the country and in particular the factors affecting the infrastructure industry and the projects we undertake. The growth prospects of our business and our ability to implement our strategies will be influenced by economic growth.

• Dependence on government policy and regulation towards Infrastructure The growth of our business is dependent on the establishment of stable government policies and prudent regulation. Infrastructure development in India has historically been the preserve of the central and state governments, and has been constrained by various factors such as shortages of public funding, political considerations and issues of transparency and accountability. We believe that with the policy and regulatory reforms continuing to move in the right direction, our growth and financial conditions and operations will be positively impacted. • Input cost and availability of the specialised raw materials

The cost of raw materials and other inputs constitute a significant part of our operating expenses. Any increase in the cost, to the extent, could not be passed on to the customers would have an adverse impact on our operations. Further, the availability of specialised raw materials like wheels is very critical for the smooth operations. Any impact on the above might affect our operations adversely.

• Competition

We expect competition to intensify due to possible new entrants in the market, existing competitors further expanding their operations and our entry into new markets where we may compete with well-established companies. Intense competition with the opening up of economy coupled with liberalization of import with lower levies might affect our operations.

• Dependence on few major customers and their plans for future We have some customers which form a major chunk of our operations and revenue. Future plans and policies of such customers may affect our financial conditions and operations. Significant Accounting Policies

2) Significant economic changes that materially affected or are likely to affect income from

continuing operations. Government’s focus on the infrastructure Sector will have a major bearing on the companies involved in the Infrastructure Industry. Accordingly, any major changes in the policies of the Government could have an impact on the profitability of our Company.

impact on sales, revenue, or income from continuing operations Apart from the risks as disclosed under heading ‘Risk Factors’ beginning on page no. 7 in this Draft Letter of Offer, in our opinion there are no other known trends or uncertainties that have had or are expected to have a material adverse impact on revenue or income from continuing operations.

increase in labour or material costs or prices that will cause a material change are known Our Company’s future cost and sale prices will be determined by demand/supply situation, overall economic conditions of the country, government policies and availability of raw material etc. and prices there of.

introduction of new products or services or increased sales prices. Increases in revenues are by and large linked to increases in volume of business.

The Company is operating only in one segment namely road construction. However, there are no published data available to the Company for total turnover of the Road Construction Industry.
