DIRECTORS' REPORT

TO

THE MEMBERS,

UNITY INFRAPROJECTS LIMITED

The Directors are pleased to present their 18thAnnual Report on the business and operations of the Company together with the Audited Accounts for the financial year ended 31st March, 2015.

GENERAL OUTLOOK OF INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY:

The infrastructure segment continued to be sluggish due to policy inaction and liquidity constraints. Project execution continued to be slow due to delays in funding. Interest and Finance costs continued to be high. The backlog at stalled project sites created due to severe liquidity crisis continued to adversely affect project execution. The Company was affected due to resource crunch, delays beyond the control of the Company such as delays in land acquisition, municipal permission, approval of designs by client, and over and above scarcity in availability of labour and materials thereby widening the gap between the planned outlay and actual spending. Order intake remained sluggish, since many of the stalled projects are yet to be kick-started. Projects already awarded are generally progressing slowly due to various continuing problems on ground, which remain unresolved over the years leading to cost escalations which remain unpaid.

The Indian economy continued to face troubled times with the depreciating rupee, high inflation and endemic liquidity problems. Policy indecisiveness, scarce financial resources, inflationary pressures, project delays due to unexpected developments, bureaucratic hurdles and other similar factors continued to create innumerable difficulties to both, the sector and the Company. The year 2014 was another challenging year for EPC companies and your Company was no exception.

The Company is exploring several options for overcoming the liquidity crisis.During the period under review the Company focused on realizing long pending receivables, arbitration awards, retention moneys. A few projects were concluded and moneys are being realized. The Order book as on 31st March, 2015 stood at Rs.2434.7Crore.

Your Directors continue to believe in the long-term potential of India's infrastructure space. With a new and progressive government at the Centre, the situation is likely to improve.We are hoping the government will come up with a clear cut road-map for implementing the policies. The government is expected to provide an environment conducive for growth investments, with major reforms in infrastructure sector, enabling all-round growth. Going forward, our focus will be to consolidate existing opportunities and leverage new possibilities.
