Our proven execution leadership in Affordable Housing, ability to master new age business models e.g. PPP, strong talent pool, financial discipline and professional process-driven strategies places us in an advantageous position to effectively capture meaningful business. We are certain about the sustainable growth during FY2020. Our reasonable margins in 9M-FY2020 vouch for our proprietary knowledge to select right tenders, execute accurately, and in augmenting the functional capacity we need to fulfill our strong order book. We continue to focus on cost efficiencies, resource optimisation, and efficient fund management with the ultimate aim of delivering shareholder value."

*Note: Post effecting the below accounts:
1. During the Q3-FY2020, orders worth ` 44.7 million (e.g. DK Patel Hall for AMC) were completed below the stipulated amount, and therefore the Order-book is meaningfully reduced by that extent.
2. On 31.03.2017, the Company had entered into a construction contract with M/s Vivyan Infraprojects LLP ("Vivyan") for construction and implementation of slum rehabilitation project at Ramapir No Tekro, Juna Wadaj, Ahmedabad for an amount of ` 1,316.7 million. The ambitious project involves construction of approximately 8.0 million sq ft and with execution period of 24 months. However, as Vivyan has not got possession of the project site from the local civic body, the project is yet to commence. Hence, the Company has not been able to initiate execution towards evident satisfaction of the said Contract. Resultantly, the Board has prudently decided to terminate the same with immediate effect, and therefore the Order-book is meaningfully reduced by that extent.
The composition of the order book is well balanced and in line with the Company's core activity as 41% is from Affordable Housing; and 59% is other Civic Urban Infrastructure projects. Overall the Company is developing 7,552 units of affordable housing. The major Government clientele comprise, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), Government of Rajasthan, Engineering Projects India Ltd (EPIL – a Mini Ratna), while Adani Group is a major corporate client.

Summary Profit and Loss Statement (Standalone) (as per Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS)):
Operating review for Q3-FY2020 (Standalone):
- The profitability at EBIDTA level has reduced mainly due to change in revenue-mix i.e. higher contribution from low-margin EPC projects.
- The project/operations cost has increased with a few projects being in preliminary stage, the employee cost has reduced due to reduction in overall employee base and/or replacement of high-cost manpower with fresher/economical manpower.
- The higher finance cost has further affected PBT, which has been marginally offset at PAT level mainly due to one-time exceptional income tax-rate reduction benefit.
- The marginal reduction in depreciation corresponds to commensurate movement in fixed assets.
- The marginal reduction in finance cost corresponds to lower utilization of credit facilities.
- None of the Bank Guarantees submitted by the Company has ever been invoked by any Principal/Client.
