STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS/ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S WORKING
DURING THE YEAR/HIGHLIGHTS/OPERATIONS

During the year the total revenue of the company was Rs. 2,93,81,281/-. The company earned a net profit
of Rs. 32,03,710 during the financial year 2024-25.

During the financial year under review, in the Annual General Meeting held on 29.08.2024, the resolution
proposed for the re-appointment of Mr. Yashwant Kumar Daga as a Director of the company was not
approved by the shareholders. Accordingly, he ceased to be a Director of the company. Immediately
thereafter, the said Mr. Yashwant Kumar Daga organized a serious act by orchestrating the resignation of
all the Independent Directors and Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs) of the company, who, despite holding
such statutory positions, abruptly and unlawfully left within a span of a few days without any intimation or
without handing over any records/ information to the continuing director. Their resignations were neither
accepted nor approved.

As a result of such abrupt disruption in the core management, the operations suffered a major setback as
the sole continuing director, Mr. Pradip Kumar Daga, had to make persistent and ongoing efforts to first
appoint and build a new management team with the requisite directors and KMPs to fill the vacancies and
streamline the operations of the company.

It is pertinent to mention that upon the exit of Mr. Yashwant Kumar Daga and his accomplices from the
company, they have been unlawfully withholding all the statutory records and data of the company,
including but not limited to, the historical books of accounts, all statutory books and registers of the
company, Secretarial records, Minutes books of all statutory meetings and allied documents, the login and
working credentials of various government and regulatory portals such as NSDL, CDSL, SCORES, etc.
The promoters of the company namely Mr. Pradip Kumar Daga and Mrs. Asha Devi Daga, after gradually
realising several acts of mismanagement and oppression perpetrated by the previous team of management
including the Independent Directors and KMPs who were looking after the management of the
Company initiated proceedings under Section 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, 2013 before the Hon’ble
NCLT, Kolkata Bench praying for reliefs.

In the said proceedings, the Hon’ble NCLT has passed an interim order dated 29.04.2025 directing Mr. Y
K Daga and other parties not to destroy or erase the records, books of accounts, computer data and registers
of the company without prior permission of NCLT. The said proceeding is at present pending before the
Hon'ble NCLT.

In view of the aforesaid facts and in the absence of the historical statutory records and registers for the
complete period due to non-co-operation of the previous management as stated above, all the details and
disclosures with respect to the events could be provided only for the period from December, 2024 onwards.
