paragraphs.
The Present Situation:
With the limited organization it has, the Company has taken up a couple
of small housing projects in association with another small developer,
a new entrant in the field. The loss for the year is on account of the
modest surplus from these projects not fully covering overheads, the
costs of fulfilling pending compliances with statutory authorities and
other legal costs and expenses which have had to be covered through
unsecured loans.
The Company retains its belief that, sooner than later, with the
support of like-minded investors who see the market value of the
Alacrity brand, it can not only revive but also, in due course, scale
up its operations towards regaining its earlier preeminent market
standing.

The Directors in their report are required to state the material
developments that have taken place in the business of the Company up to
the date of the said Report. Accordingly, the material developments up
to date of this Report are covered as appropriate in the following
paragraphs.
PERFORMANCE:
The problems:
As shareholders are aware, since inception, your Company has been a
pioneer in the real estate business and has had an enviable position in
Chennai City and suburbs. Your Company, during the period 1992-93 to
2001-02 built and delivered about 40 lakh sq. ft. and over 4000
apartments, enjoying an excellent reputation and goodwill which
continued to attract potential buyers.
However, from the year 1997, due to general recessionary conditions in
the economy, the real estate business saw difficult times and your
Companys fortunes were greatly affected due to the following factors:
i) The Companys policy of underwriting fixed prices and committed
delivery dates could not be adhered to as liquidity progressively dried
up and operations could not be continued.
ii) The delays in all projects, coupled with large establishment costs
and high interest rates and escalating costs, resulted in large losses
being incurred.
iii) As the Company could not pay salary/wages in time to its
employees, employee-trade unions came into being and striking employees
forced frequent interruptions in work. Consequently, there was massive
attrition and skilled, experienced manpower left the Company. Senior
Managers also joined this exodus adding to problems.
iv) The external environment turned unfavorable with dissatisfied
customers, nervous bankers, impatient landowners/joint venture partners
and other constituents withdrawing cooperation/ support. Several of
them have filed legal cases against the Company and its Directors
thereby adding to the serious problems already faced by the Company.
v) All through this period, there was unavoidable and progressive
disruption of business operations and office systems, including
accounting work, which delayed statutory compliances for several years.
The Statutory Auditor of the Company since inception , Mr. Rajan V.
Chacko suddenly passed away in August 2008, and the audit process had
to be redone with newly appointed Statutory Auditors M/s. Chaturvedi &
Partners. The Company has had to greatly struggle to put together the
accounts and get the audit for the pending six years (from 2003-04 to
2008-09) completed for presentation to shareholders now.
vi) The effort is now to bring to up to date all the pending
compliances with all statutory authorities.
The present situation:
i) It is to be noted that the Company has had to take very difficult
decisions in a very unfavorable business environment in order to meet
its commitments to existing customers in unfinished projects. It is a
measure of the commitment and faijh of the customers and shareholders
that the Company was able to, and is today, sorting out these difficult
issues slowly but steadily.
- In respect of 38 projects pending completion for total built up area
of 10.92 lakh sq feet, the Company managed to complete and deliver
these projects to customers over a period of time. However customers,
who were required to make additional payments over the agreed fixed
prices contracted had to be given an assurance that the Company will in
the future refund the extra amounts. The Company has provided for this
assurance an amount of Rs 412.67 lacs in the accounts for the years
2004-05 and 2005-06.
- In respect of 8 projects pending completion for total built up area
of 1.56 lakh sq. feet, other developers took over, completed and handed
over the apartments to customers. However, in respect of these projects
also, customers who had to pay escalation in prices to these
developers, were assured that the Company will in the future refund the
additional amounts paid by them. An amount of Rs 176.98 lacs is
provided in the accounts for the years 2004-05 and 2005-06, based on
dates of customer agreements, and forms part of the losses reported for
those years.
- 13 projects pending completion for total built up area of 5.88 lakh
sq feet, were joint venture projects in which a certain percentage of
built up area was allotted at an agreed rate to the land owners as
consideration for their land. The cost overruns/ losses in these
projects were reduced as the developers who took over these projects
also accepted to meet related liabilities to an extent of Rs 1216.00
lakhs. The effect of this recovery is spread across and reflected in
the financial years 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09.
- In respect of 2 larger projects pending completion for total built up
area of 3.17 lakh sq feet:
- the land owners themselves were power of attorney holders
- installments of payments to landowners had been delayed
- about 25% to 30% of the total consideration remains unpaid
- undivided share of land, with the willing participation of
landowners, had been provided as collateral security to the bankers
Taking advantage of the subsequent escalation in land prices, the land
owners refused to register the undivided share of land in favor of
customers on whose account they had already been paid. This has
developed into legal issues such as:
i. In one case, some customers agreed to withdraw from the project on
the understanding that their money be refunded with a nominal interest.
An agreement was drawn up with the landowner who undertook to take back
the land on which some construction work had been completed, by
discharging the bank and enabling the refund of monies to the
customers. As the landowner failed to complete the payment to the
customers, the matter is presently before the Honble High Court of
Madras, with the Company as a willing respondent.
ii. The second case is a JV project in which about 3.58 acres out of a
total of about 8 acres of undivided land is still to be developed. Its
current market value is large enough to cover the pending dues to the
landowners with interest as well as pending dues to the various banks.
The landowners however, who have not completed the land registration of
about 177 flat owners, have staked their claim to the entire said 3.58
acres, offering a minimum settlement amount to the banks which has not
so far been accepted. The resultant prolonged stalemate has prompted
some customers to approach the courts where the cases have dragged
despite the Companys cooperative participation as a respondent. While
206 flats have already been delivered in the 4.42 acres of this
project, construction is in slow progress in another 80 flats.
Summary of the Loss position as at 31.3.2009:
The losses reflected in the audited accounts over 6 financial years,
including cost overruns, provisions for customer refunds committed and
claims against the Company on account of legal cases, accumulate to Rs
8120.80 lacs which, based on events and activities of a particular
year, is distributed across the 6 financial years respectively as
follows:
Financial Year Loss for the year
(in lacs of Rs.)
2003-04 2439.55
2004-05 770.53
2005-06 4796.92
2006-07 36.33
2007-08 68.54
2008-09 8.93
Total 8120.80
Corporate Governance:
The Company is presently handicapped due to the absence of a Company
Secretary (the previous Company Secretary had resigned from the
services of the Company in 2001-2002) and there being no staff in the
Secretarial Department, it has not been possible to prepare the
Corporate Governance and Management Analysis Reports required to be
annexed to the Annual Report which shall be circulated to the members
as soon as they are compiled.
THE WAY FORWARD
It is a matter of satisfaction that in spite of the above serious
problems the Company has been able to withstand immense pressure from
all sides and persevered with the work of attending effectively to all
the pending issues and problems.
It is also a matter of gratification that the Alacrity name still
carries a lot of goodwill and support, judging by the response that the
Company has got from all its constituents: this gives hope that there
is a future to be built after all the present problems are
satisfactorily resolved.
Your Directors are exploring all avenues for future growth: specific
plans will be intimated to the members as and when they materialize.
