8. SHARE CERTIFICATES :
As the company is unable to bear the expenses of dematerialization, the
Board of Directors have decided to retain the share data, certificates,
members register etc. in physical form and have intimated the SEBI,
BSE, NSDL and CDSL accordingly. Members are requested to send all
correspondence regarding shareholding, enquiries about Dividends,
Non-Receipt of Annual Report, change of Address etc. to the Registered
Office of the company.
9. STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE :
Though an erstwhile listed company, due to extreme financial distress
and non -completion of its project, the company could not ensure
compliance with the listing requirements of the Stock Exchange(s). As a
result, its shares continue to be suspended from trading. The Company
is, however, attending to all requests from its members for transfers,
transmission, change of address, issue of duplicate shares etc. by
carrying out necessary transfer work etc. in house and there are no
requests pending for more than 30 days enabling the Company to comply
with listing requirements in this regard.
Due to financial difficulties the company is unable to pay the fees and
other expenses to directors. Consequently, the company is unable to
obtain the services of eminent and qualified independent Directors as
required in terms of Clause 49 of the Listing Agreements. Neither
could the company form the various committees for ensuring Corporate
Governance stipulated under the Clause 49. Since there is no business
activity being carried on, except for contesting legal matters the need
for formation of such committees for corporate governance is not felt.
The Corporate Governance Report required to be submitted under the said
Clause could not, therefore, be presented with the Annual Accounts. A
Certificate from M/s. V. S. Patangia & Co, the Auditors, to this effect
is attached.
10. DEPOSITS :
The Company has not accepted any deposits from the Public during the
year.
11. LOANS :
The Company has taken unsecured loans from Directors and members for
furthering the affairs of the Company, till the problems are sorted
out.
12. EMPLOYEES :
There being no employee who is in receipt of remuneration in excess of
limits prescribed under section 217(2A) of the Companies Act, 1956, the
information required under the said section is not given.
13. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY / TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION :
Since the Company did not have any manufacturing activity during the
year under review, the particulars of conservation of energy and
technology absorption are not furnished.
