Director’s Report

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW :

 

During the year under review, income from operations increased by 3.85 % to Rs.1778.900 millions from

Rs.1712.900 millions in the previous year. The Company achieved operating profit (PBIDT) of Rs.1110.500 millions. After providing for interest of Rs.199.800 millions, depreciation of Rs.61.400 millions and taxation including prior period adjustments of Rs.90.600 millions, the net profit stood at Rs.758.700 millions which is higher by 21.9% as against Rs.622.100 millions in the previous year.

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE :

 

The general business environment continued to remain robust backed by healthy growth in the economy which is driving the real estate sector’s growth. The current upswing in the real estate sector is the result of a number of factors. Growing economy, expanding service sector, rising disposable income and affluence, supportive government policies have all lent momentum to this rapidly growing sector.

 

The real estate sector in India is undergoing a metamorphosis from being an unorganized sector into an organized sector with well-established corporate practices and transparency. The Company has benchmarked itself with the best practices in the industry and will constantly endeavor to maintain the highest level of quality in execution and corporate governance.

 

The Company continued to augment its land bank (short term and long term) and towards this end, efforts continue in order to avail of the opportunities available for organic growth and increase in the market share in the industry. The Company will pursue its policy to expand geographically across major cities of the country to achieve its goal of strategic growth in terms of volume as well as geographical spread. The Company has also entered into strategic joint ventures with certain leading real estate development companies for some of its projects on a profit sharing basis. Collaborating strategically with other firms reduces the capital investment required and helps leverage development capabilities. It allows the Company to benefit from an enhanced pool of construction and marketing expertise and experience, as well as facilitate expansion into additional geographic areas and business lines. The Company has in-house expertise and capability in construction and project management, development consultancy, sales and marketing, thereby making the Company vertically integrated. This enables the Company to meet project timelines and commitments and ensuring that the highest levels of technical and service standards are met. The Company is actively involved in the development of Commercial / IT Parks, Retail Space and Residential Complexes and plans to venture into SEZs and integrated townships in the near future.

 

RESIDENTIAL

 

The Company is developing a number of residential real estate projects, which are located in Mumbai and Thane. During the year under review, the Company commenced construction of residential space independently and in conjunction with our joint venture partners.

 

COMMERCIAL

AUTOMATED CAR PARKING

 

The Company has nearly completed the construction of a 20 storey innovative and fully mechanized car park tower namely, Akruti Elite Car Park with a capacity of 240 cars at Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai, using fully automated technology imported from Europe. The car park is expected to be operational by year end.

 

RETAIL

 

During the year under review, the Company also commenced construction of lettable retail space independently

and in conjunction with our joint venture partners.

 

CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME :

 

The Board has proposed, subject to approval of shareholders and Central Government, the change of Company name from Akruti Nirman Limited to AKRUTI CITY LIMITED and the explanatory statement appended to the Notice of Annual General Meeting deals with the logic and rationale for the proposed change.

 

 

 

 

SHARE CAPITA :

 

During the year under review, the Company made its maiden IPO of 67,00,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each through 100 % book building process. The issue was priced at Rs.540 per share. The issue was oversubscribed 81 times. The equity shares of the Company were listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) and National

Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) on February 7, 2007. Consequent to IPO, the paid-up share capital of the

Company increased from Rs.600.000 millions to Rs.667.000 millions.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

India is third largest economy in the world in terms of purchasing power parity, gross domestic product and the economy has experienced rapid growth in recent years with GDP growth being 8.5 %, 7.5 % and 9.4 % in fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively. The Indian real estate landscape has undergone a paradigm shift over the past few years. With economic liberalization, increased globalisation and consequent increase in business opportunities, India's real estate sector scaled new heights. A booming economy, depicted by soaring levels achieved at stock market, increasing demand across sectors and favourable demographics has provided necessary impetus to the growth of real estate sector. A number of knowledge and technology intensive sectors have emerged as sunrise segments, causing demand for residential and commercial space to go into an overdrive. India's strong performance and its established position as an off-shoring destination has translated into a more robust real estate environment. In effect, the growth of real estate industry in India could be attributed to burgeoning IT/ITES sector. The real estate sector in India has been largely unorganized and characterized by various factors that impeded organized dealing, such as lack of uniformity in local laws, non-availability of bank financing, high interest rates, higher incidence of stamp duty and lack of transparency in transaction values. In recent years however, the real estate sector in India has exhibited a trend towards greater organisation and transparency accompanied by various regulatory reforms such as:

 

a. repeal of Urban Land Ceiling Act by several State Governments;

b. modification in the Rent Control Act that provides greater protection to homeowners;

c. rationalization of property tax in a number of States; and

d. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) now being permitted in the real estate sector subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.

e. proposed computerization of land records.

 

The trend towards greater organisation and transparency has contributed to the development of reliable indicators of value and organized investment in real estate sector by domestic and international financial institutions and has also resulted in greater availability of finance for real estate developers.

The real estate sector is a major employment driver, being the second largest employer next to agriculture. This is because of the chain of backward and forward linkages that the sector has with the other sectors of the economy, especially with housing and construction sectors. Regulatory changes permitting foreign direct investment and setting up of real estate mutual funds and real estate investment trusts are expected to further increase investment in Indian real estate sector. Though real estate demand continues to be largely led by IT, ITES and BPO sectors, the demand for real estate sector has also been driven by other industries such as telecom, insurance, banks and financial institutions, financial services firms, consulting firms, media, airlines, logistics, etc.

The Company's business portfolio may be broadly classified into segments as below:

 

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE:

 

With a growing population and increasing urbanization, the joint family system giving way to formation of nuclear families, rise in disposable income coupled with the propensity to spend fuelled by a rise in employment opportunities, the demand for housing in India as it stands today far exceeds the supply. Changes in demographics, growth in disposable income, reduction in average family size, urbanization, etc. have contributed to faster rise in demand in this segment.

 

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE:

 

The commercial real estate market in India has continuously been evolving in response to a number of changes in business environment. IT/ITES/BPO sectors have been drivers of commercial real estate demand in the country.

Large scale requirements by IT / ITES sector has lead to real estate growth being spread beyond chief business locations to suburban and peripheral locations of major cities. IT, ITES and related sectors are estimated to account for over 70 % of net demand. It is expected that India will continue to be one of the preferred destinations for setting up back office operations. Consequently the growth in the sector is expected to translate into substantially higher demand for commercial space, adding to overall investment in real estate activities.

 

RETAIL REAL ESTATE:

 

India is currently ninth largest retail market in the world. India's vast middle class and its almost untapped retail industry are key attractions for global giants wanting to enter newer markets. As India continues to get strongly integrated with global policies, the retail sector is bound to grow manifold in the years to come. The depth of

Indian market and variations of the consumer profile portend a bright future for the sustained growth of the Indian retail sector. Driven by changing lifestyles, strong income growth and favourable demographic patterns,

Indian retail is expected to grow 25 percent annually.

 

SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES:

 

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are specifically delineated duty free enclaves deemed to be foreign territories for purposes of Indian Custom controls, duties and tariffs. SEZs by virtue of their size, are expected to be a significant new source of real estate demand in future.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS :

 

Regulatory reforms initiated by the Government and the entry of private equity and mutual funds are expected to provide greater transparency and higher funding of the industry apart from providing necessary transparency to transactions in the sector. This in turn is expected to ensure larger capital supply to real estate market thereby speeding up the pace of development of real estate market. Relaxation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) eligibility norms relating to the reduction of built-up area for commercial real estate projects to 50,000 mtrs. And minimum threshold land area for integrated townships to 25 acres from 100 acres of land have also provided much needed impetus for faster growth of real estate industry. The Company is keeping a close watch on emerging opportunities in the industry with a view to convert these opportunities into profitable projects.

Taxation benefits applicable to SEZs are also expected to push up the demand for real estate. The Company is enhancing its competitive heads through entry into this sunrise segment of Special Economic Zone. The SEZ for

DLF Akruti IT Park at Pune has been sanctioned by the Government of India and proposals for additional SEZs focusing on IT and IT services in Mumbai and Pune are underway.

Land is a key input for the real estate industry. The prices of land have increased speculatively to unsustainable levels and are an area of concern to the management. In order to remain competitive in the business, the

Company is adopting a hedging strategy of buying land on a continuous basis in order to buoy up its land bank and simultaneously converting the land bank into commercial projects independently and through joint ventures with reputed partners.

The Union Budget of 2007 has been disappointing on certain key areas affecting our sector. Non-extension of tax exemption under Section 80(IB) of the Income Tax Act would put further pressure on prices of residential properties and affect the overall demand. Imposition of service tax on rentals of commercial properties will also make commercial properties more expensive

 

Tightening of regulations on lending to real estate sector by the measures announced by Reserve Bank of India is likely to slow down the momentum of growth. Further, the tightening of external commercial borrowing norms of funding by the Government of India is likely to dampen the enthusiasm of global investors in Indian real estate industry. The frequent hike in the rate of interest on home loans will have a cascading effect on the growth of this industry on account of possible slow down in consumer demand.

Tax benefits to Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) units end in 2009. The sustained GDP growth, the real estate sector's turnaround, increased purchasing power leading to retail revolution, malls and townships, the residential and construction boom, are all a direct or indirect fallout of IT sector's growth. Should IT/ITES companies relocate themselves, this may put pressure on demand for commercial real estate and act as dampeners for growth.

 

During the year under review, the Company reported an increase from operations by 3.85 % at Rs.1778.900 millions as against Rs.1712.900 millions in the previous year. Profit before tax was higher by 28.47 % at Rs.849.300 millions as against Rs.661.100 millions in the previous year. Net Profit after tax and prior period adjustments was higher by 21.96% at Rs.758.700 millions as against Rs.622.100 millions in the previous year. Barring unforeseen development, the Company is expected to maintain the pace of growth in both, sales income and profitability in the current year. The Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Gujarat State Biotechnology Mission and TCG Urban Infrastructure Holding Limited for developing and operating a biotech park at Savli, near Vadodara, Gujarat. Since SEZs are expected to be harbinger for catalyzing economic growth at a much faster pace, the Company plans foray into developing SEZs in and around Mumbai and Pune.

The small metros are expanding fast and the Company is looking at expanding operation in some of these locations. As part of growth strategy, the Company plans to expand into other cities to give it a pan India presence. Plans are underway to develop integrated township between Mumbai and Pune.

The Company also plans to diversify into new business lines such as Bio-Tech Parks, Hospitality, Integrated Townships and Serviced Apartments.

The Company has also entered into strategic joint venture agreements with real estate development companies for some of its projects on a profit sharing basis. Collaborating strategically with other firms reduces the capital investment required and helps leverage development capabilities. It also allows the Company to benefit from an enhanced pool of construction and marketing expertise and experience, and facilitates expansion into additional geographic areas and business lines.

Land acquisition is an ongoing exercise and the Company is planning to augment its presence in the industry by venturing into newer locations, which offer potential for development. Efforts are continuing to augment the land bank that will take care of the growth requirement for the next few years.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The Company has a large pool of experienced engineers and planners, covering the entire range of skills from planning and design to execution, focused on quality of construction and finishes. The Company has set a consistent track record of completing projects within the time and cost schedules. The systems and procedures are well laid out and documented. The Company maintains high standards in quality and timely completion of projects, adopts latest innovation and dedicated services and accordingly, has been accredited with ISO 9001: 2000 management system certificate from Det Norske Vertias Netherlands. The Company has also been awarded a "DA2" rating from CRISIL recognising the Company’s ability to specify and build to agreed quality levels and transfer clear title within stipulated time schedules. All these initiatives are expected to result in the Company making a robust growth in sales income and profitability of its business.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue from Construction Activity:

 

i. Revenue from sale of finished properties / buildings is recognized on transfer of property and once significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Similarly, revenue from sale of Transferable

Development Rights (TDR) is recognized on transfer of the rights to the buyer. Revenue recognition is postponed to the extent of significant uncertainty.

ii. Revenue from sale of incomplete properties is recognized on the basis of percentage of completion method, determined on the basis of physical proportion of the work completed, as certified by the

Company’s technical personnel, in relation to a contract or a group of contracts within a project, only after the work has progressed to the extent of 40% of the total work involved. Variations in estimates are updated periodically by technical certification. Further, revenue recognized in the aforesaid manner and related costs are both restricted to 90% until the construction activity and related formalities are substantially completed. Costs of construction / development are charged to the profit and loss account in proportion with the revenue recognized during the year. The balance cost are carried as part of ‘Incomplete projects’ under inventories. Amounts receivable / payable are reflected as Debtors / Advances from Customers, respectively, after considering income recognized in the aforesaid manner.Recognition of revenue relating to agreements entered into with the buyers, which are subject to fulfillment of obligations / conditions imposed by statutory authorities, is postponed till such obligations are discharged. The Company was recognizing revenue as per the completed building project method, upto the financial year ended 31st March, 2006. The change to the percentage of completion method, to the extent applicable, has been adopted in pursuance of the guidance note on recognition of revenue by real estate developers, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, during the year (Attention is invited to Note 24)

iii. Value of Floor Space Index (FSI) generated is recognized as Inventory, at the rates quoted by the Stamp

Duty Ready Reckoner issued by the State Government, in the year of completion of the agreed property

(viz. Rehabilitation Building), in lieu of which the FSI is allotted to the Company. The value of FSI is carried as

Inventory held for sale or utilization in construction of projects undertaken for sale. The FSI value is considered as a part of construction cost of sale building, on the basis of weighted average for each project.

 

Growth through Innovation

 In the early years of growth, the company primarily undertook civil engineering and development jobs for the government and the defense forces. After completing many successful projects, in the year 1986, the company decided to venture into residential construction projects.

Having established itself as a quality real estate solutions provider, the company took a step to address its commitment to the city and its citizens.
