BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR LANCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED, ITS SUBSIDIARY AND ASSOCIATE BUSINESS OVERVIEW
BUSINESS OVERVIEW:
The Company continues to be engaged in the business of property development and there is no change in the nature of its business since last AGM. As stated in the last Directors report the Companys involvement is mostly in residential properties and plotted land development where the company has found good traction.
The Company continues to be engaged more vigorously in the re-development of city properties and it is all the time engaged in discussions with housing societies with a view to add new project.
As stated in the last Directors report the major supply comes to the company in the re-development segment from private housing societies which are 30 to 35 years old and in the case of Housing Board apartments they tend to be older. In the case of re-development projects the companys financial investment tends to be more manageable since the commitment is only towards construction cost and payment for premium FSI.
The company is actively scouting for management of third party projects to earn project management fees which will lead to handsome rewards.
MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS, IF ANY, AFFECTING THE FINANCIAL POSITION BETWEEN THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR AND THE DATE OF REPORT.
I) Menon Eternity:

2) As of date of writing this report the company has sold 2D floors out of 4D floors at a good price.
3) The company is actively pursuing the sale of the remaining two floors as soon as possible so that the company will fully exit from the ownership of this building soon.
4) The proceeds of these sales are being applied to reduction of debt and acquisition of new properties wherever opportunities present itself.
II) Town & Country Harmonia:
1) Town & Country-Harmonia Pavilion apartments are fast proceeding towards completion of construction and barring unforeseen circumstances, the construction is expected to be completed by November or December of this year.

The company is sure to market the balance flats by March 2027 at a good price.
2) The Companys Harmonia Senior villas phase-II is sold out. There is clearly a good demand for villas in the Harmonia Senior Format and hence the company has now taken up some more land it owns for the purpose of launching Phase-III.
3) Harmonia Duplex Villas where the villas are built with one additional level has not had good traction and now the company will put special emphasis in marketing the same.
4) The company feels that it can construct and market substantial residential space, as apartments and villas in the destination "Sriperumbudur" as it gets get more prominence and more families come to live there.
5) The company has signed agreements for the redevelopment of three apartment complexes in Chennai city.
