Your directors have pleasure in submitting their first Board Report
(Post listing) of the Company together with the Audited Financial Statements for the
financialyear ending 31st March 2024.
1. Performance and Financial & other highlights
Your company was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jasch
Industries Ltd, to receive the demerged undertaking of industrial gauges and equipments
from Jasch Industries Ltd. Pursuant to a scheme of demerger approved by Hon'ble
NationalCompany LawTribunal("NCLT"), New Delhi Bench vide its order dated
12-09-2023, which became effective after business hours of 30-09-2023, itceased to be a
wholly owned subsidiary of Jasch Industries Ltd. Accordingly, your Company did not carry
on any business till the demerged undertaking was vested in it. Salient features of the
scheme were as follows:
a) Demerger and vesting ofthe IndustrialGauges & Equipments
("demerged undertaking'') of Jasch Industries Ltd to Jasch
GaugingTechnologies Ltd on a going concern basis,
b) In consideration of, the above, allotment of 2 fully paid-up equity
share of the Jasch Gauging Technologies Ltd having face value of Rs. 10 each to the equity
shareholders of Jasch Industries Ltd for every 5 fully paid-up equity share of Rs. 10 each
held by them in Jasch Industries Ltd,
c) Listing of equity shares of Jasch GaugingTechnologies Ltd with BSE
Limited,
d) Increase in Authorised share capital of your Company from Rs.
4,00,00,000 (40,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each) to Rs. 5,00,00,000 (50,00,000 equity
shares of Rs. 10 each)
e) Cancellation of the entire pre-scheme paid up share capital held by
Jasch Industries Ltd in Jasch GaugingTechnologies Ltd as its holding Company and the
latter ceasing to be a wholly owned subsidiary ofthe former.
The company started its manufacturing activities w.e.f. 01-10-2023.
However, as per the aforesaid order of the Hon'ble NCLT, "appointed date"
i.e. the date from which the demerged business would be deemed to have been vested in your
Company, was 01 -04-2022. Therefore, by a legal fiction, with effect from 01-04-2022,
Jasch Industries Ltd was deemed to be carrying on the demerged business as a trustee of
your Company. Accordingly, the figures of the previous financial year 2022-23 were
"restated", treating the demerged business actually carried on by Jasch
Industries Ltd, as if your company had carried it on w.e.f. 01-04-2022. Thus,
"restated" figures are the sum of demerged business carried on by Jasch
Industries Ltd for the period from 01-04-2023 to 30-09-2023 and the business carried on
byJasch GaugingTechnologies Ltd thereafter upto 31-03-2024.
