GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Forbes & Company Limited ("the Company") is one of the oldest companies of the world that is still in existence. The Company traces its origin to the year 1767 when John Forbes of Aberdeenshire, Scotland started his business in India. Over the years, the Management of the Company moved from the Forbes Family to the Campbells to the Tata Group and now finally to the well known Shapoorji Pallonji Group. Its parent and ultimate holding company is Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited. The Company is mainly engaged in the Engineering and Real estate and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The address and registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the Annual Report.

 

BACKGROUND, SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY

The SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“Regulations”) require the top 500 listed companies (by market capitalisation) to disclose a Dividend Distribution Policy (“Policy”) in the annual report and on the corporate website. The entities other than top 500 listed companies may adopt and disclose their dividend distribution policies on voluntary basis.

 

The Company currently has only one class of shares, viz. equity, for which this policy is applicable. The policy is subject to review if and when the Company issues different classes of shares.

 

The intent of the Policy is to broadly specify the external and internal factors including financial parameters that shall be considered while declaring dividend and the circumstances under which the shareholders of the Company may or may not expect dividend and how the retained earnings shall be utilized, etc.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND STATE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Indian economy ended the fiscal year 2016–17 with a moderate growth. The current financial year was a rather eventful year. Against the backdrop of robust macro-economic stability, the year was marked by two major domestic policy developments, the passage of the Constitutional Amendment, paving the way for implementing the transformationalGoods and Services Tax (GST), and the action to demonetise the two highest denomination currency notes.

 

The GST will create a common Indian market, improve tax compliance and governance, and boost investment and growth; it is also a bold new experiment in the governance of India's cooperative federalism. Demonetisation has had short-term costs but holds the potential for long term benefits. Prompt actions allow growth to return to trend in 2017-18, following a temporary blip in activity in second half of FY 2016-17. This in the long run is expected to result in significant benefits in the form of transition towards a cashless economy, expansion of digital financial systems and extension of the tax net.

 

 

Looking further ahead, societal shift in ideas and narratives will be needed to overcome three long-standing meta-challenges: inefficient redistribution, ambivalence about the private sector and property rights, and improving but still-challenged state capacity. In the aftermath of demonetisation, and at a time of gathering gloom about globalisation, articulating and embracing those ideational shifts will be critical to ensuring that India's sweet spot is enduring not evanescent.

 

Coming back to Indian economy, this was a year of moderate growth with a decline in the industrial sector growth, even as the agrarian and rural sector benefited from a good monsoon after two successive failed monsoons. Industrial activity picked up pace in January'2017 with industrial production registering growth on account of improvement in the manufacturing and capital goods sector output.

 

The FY 2017-18 is expected to be a good year for the Indian economy. The benefits of the important reforms to be implemented during FY 2017-18 will be seen during the year. The Union Budget for FY 2017-18 provides for development in infrastructure, housing, rural sector and a boost to the overall investment climate. The performance of the global economy is also expected to improve with the International Monetory Fund forecasting a rise in global GDP growth from 3.1 % in 2016 to 3.4% in 2017 and 3.6% in 2018.
