The jewellery business model had changed drastically on account of gold prices going so high. The proportion value of gold in an 18 carat product has risen from 25% - 30% to almost 60% - 65%. This has led to reduction in gross profit as compared to gross profit in earlier times.

Under such circumstances of high gold prices, the Company is focusing on seeking orders on ‘cash on delivery or ‘cash in advance. This will improve our profitability.

The Company has been reducing its expenses across all levels including finance costs, salaries, general expenses, tools and consumables, etc.

The Company is looking more business in coloured stones (precious stones), lab grown diamonds, lab grown emeralds, rubies and pearls set in 14 carat or 9 carat gold. The Company is also looking to make jewellery in 4 carat or 5 carat gold. The Company believes that future will be in less man-power and cheaper raw materials.

21.4 Qualifications in Secretarial Audit Report:

A. Composition of Nomination and Remuneration Committee:

In respect of the composition of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, we observe as follows:

As per Section 178 of the Companies Act, 2013, the composition of Nomination and Remuneration Committee shall be as follows:

178 (1): “The Board of the Directors of every listed company and such other class or classes of companies, as may be prescribed shall constitute the Nomination and Remuneration Committee consisting of three or more non-executive directors out of which not less than one half shall be independent directors:

Provided that the chairperson of the company (whether executive or nonexecutive) may be appointed as a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee but shall not chair such Committee.”

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Company comprises of two Independent Directors and one Executive Director. In this regard, the Management has given the following reply:

“The Company has four Directors, out of them two are Executive and two are Independent Directors. Accordingly, the composition of the Board is such that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee cannot comprise of three Non-Executive Directors. Hence, Mr. Ajay Gehani, Executive Director is one of the member of the Committee.

Mr. Narasinha Pal, Independent Director acts as the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Company does not convene the meeting of Nomination and Remuneration Committee unless Mr. Narasinha Pal and Mr. Jigar Darji, Independent Directors of the Company and members of Nomination and Remuneration Committee are present in the said meeting. This ensures that the Chairmanship and majority decision making vests with the Independent Directors.

Further, the role of Mr. Ajay Gehani as a member of the Committee is very limited. He is only filling up the requirement of 3rd member as required under Section 178 of the Companies Act, 2013 as there is no option. He does not participate in the affairs of the Committee which are related to remuneration, performance evaluation of Executive Directors and other such matters.

As the Committee does not meet without the presence of 2 Independent Directors and since the Chairman is also an Independent Director, hence the voting and governance of the Committee remains independent. Accordingly, with the present composition of Nomination and Remuneration Committee, it has been ensured that majority remains with Independent Directors and accordingly, the spirit of Corporate Governance is achieved.”

22. REPORTING OF FRAUDS BY AUDITORS:

During the financial year under review, neither the statutory auditors nor the secretarial auditors have reported to the Audit Committee of the Board, under Section 143 (12) of the Act, any instances of fraud committed against your Company by its officers or employees, the details of which would need to be mentioned in this Report.

23. COST RECORDS:

The provisions of Section 148 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Companies (Cost Records and Audit) Rules, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as ‘Rules) in respect of maintenance and audit of cost records are not applicable to Company.
