Management Discussion and Analysis:

The Management of Orbit Corporation Limited is pleased to present
Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended 31st March 2010.

Business Environment:

Post the tumultuous times of global economic crisis, Indian economy has
shown signs of revival both in terms of industrial production as well as
financial markets. The resilient growth in GDP, especially in services and
industrial sector was due to strong fundamentals of the economy backed by
several timely measures taken by government as well as the Reserve Bank of
India.

Real Estate Scenario in India:

Real estate demand in 2008 was estimated to be ~200 Mn sq. ft. across key
segments and is likely to increase to ~240 Mn sq. ft. by year 2012 (Source:
Cushman & Wakefield Report)

As per the Planning Commission, India is currently estimated to have a
housing shortfall of 24.7 Mn units. Growing income levels, rapid
urbanization, easier availability of finance and favourable regulatory
measures have contributed to the rise in demand and the sector now
contributes about 4-5% of the country's total GDP. The real estate sector
is further witnessing a metamorphosis with infusion of organized capital.

However, global meltdown took its toll on the rising real estate prices
upto Q4 FY2009, by when prices had corrected by as high as 30% of their
year 2007 peaks. During Q1 FY2010, consumer confidence started building up
backed by steep discounts and formation of stable government at centre.

Real Estate Scenario in Mumbai:

Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, is fast emerging as an
international financial centre. It comprises several micro-markets with
very distinct supply-demand characteristics, consumer profiles and price-
points ranging from Rs. 2,000 per sq. ft. to ~ Rs. 80,000 per sq. ft. While
the primary demand supply dynamics revolve around development of Central
Business Districts (CBDs) or Industrial Areas or Centres of Trade and
Commerce, other factors like connectivity, civic amenities as well as
social and cultural aspects also affect development of residential spaces
in these areas.

Micro markets in Mumbai:

Micro-market Supply Scenario Indicative Rates
(Rs. / sq. ft.)

South Mumbai Very Low supply 24,000 - 80,000

South-Central Mumbai Potential Over-Supply
in 2 to 3 years 12,000 - 40,000

Central Mumbai Moderate Supply 7,000 - 15,000

Western Suburbs - Low Supply 8,000 - 30,000
Bandra to Andheri

Distant Western Moderate Supply 5,000 - 15,000
Suburbs - Jogeshwari
to Dahisar

Eastern Suburbs Over Supply 5,000 - 10,000

Extended Western Potential Over Supply 2,500 - 5,000
Suburbs

Navi Mumbai Potential Over Supply 4,000 - 12,000

Increased execution and completion level in FY 2010 saw inventory reduction

Profits and Profitability:

The EBITDA Margins of the Company have been similar to the margins in
FY2009. The Company has been able to stabilize the EBITDA Margins even
during the slowdown also.

Our business strategy of conceiving a product to address an identified
demand - supply gap and focus on target customer, has cushioned us from
cyclicality of the real estate market movement when compared to other
market players. The strategy helps us to maintain our profitability margins
as our due diligence prior to project commencement ensures that we work on
projects with a minimum threshold operating profit ratio of -35%.

The PAT Margins have improved significantly in FY2010 as compared to the
PAT Margins in FY2009. The PAT Margins in FY2010 are 19% as compared to 12%
in FY 2009. Primary contributor to this improvement in margin is the
company's revenue performance that commensurate the size of operational
bandwidth that company works with.

Sources of funds during FY 2010:

During the year FY2010, directly or indirectly through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, company raised funds to the extent of Rs. 5,574 Mn in form of
equity and debt to fund the operations. Through different refinancing
options, company was able to bring down the average cost of debt in FY2010
by more than 10 bps as compared to FY 2008-09. At the same time, debt level
was also kept under control by maintaining it at comfortable levels.

The Company has been able to reduce its D/E ratio from 1.23 in FY2009 to
1.06 in FY201 0. With the objective of ensuring optimum leverage of balance
sheet and solvency level to meet debt obligations as well as providing
value to our investors, the strategy of the company has always been to
delevarage itself during better market cycles and fund the projects from
both equity and internal accruals. During tight liquidity situations,
company taps its leveraging capacity to fund the projects through debt
financing.
Cost of Debt

In FY2010, we managed to bring down cost of funds from unsecured loans
helping us bring the overall cost of debt down from 13% as on March 2009 to
12.89% as on March 2010.

Indebtedness:

As of March 31, 2010, we had Rs.5,999 Mn of principal amount of secured
loans outstanding, consisting of term loans from banks and financial
institutions of Rs. 4,212 Mn in principal amount and 1500 secured non
convertible debentures of Rs.1 Mn each aggregating to Rs.1,500 Mn
subscribed by insurance companies. These loans and debentures were secured
by, among other things, our inventory of ongoing projects and other movable
and immovable assets, including certain parcels of land owned by us and
assignment of receivables along with personal guarantee of our Promoters,
i.e. Mr. Ravi Kiran Aggarwal and Mr. Pujit Aggarwal.

The repayment schedule in relation to our indebtedness is set forth
below:

Credit Period from Suppliers:

We believe we benefit from economies of scale and better credit terms based
on our relationships with suppliers and contractors. We normally enjoy a
credit period of three to four months for the projects based on the size of
transaction and project duration. Any change in the credit period from our
suppliers could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.

Inventory:

Inventory levels have reduced almost 7% from Rs. 5,894 Mn in FY 2008-09 to
Rs. 5,484 Mn in FY2010. This drop is on account higher completion level of
Orbit - WTC. Current Inventory level is attributed primarily to Orbit
Terraces, Orbit Grandeur, Orbit Residential Park 1 and Mandwah which
contribute to more than 80% of total inventory lying on the balance sheet
date.

Debtors:

Debtors to the tune of Rs. 2381 Mn out of Rs. 4630 Mn as on 31st March,
2010 are for the period exceeding 6 months. Of the total receivable
outstanding, almost 70% is constituted by Orbit WTC, Orbit Arya and Villa
Orb which are in advanced stage of completion. The value of receivables are
more based on the individual collection agreements.

Cash operating profit before working capital adjustments for FY2010 stood
at Rs. 1,944 Mn as compared to Rs. 1,362 Mn in FY2009. However, working
capital requirement in FY201 0 grew by Rs. 4,729 Mn as against Rs. 3,687 Mn
for FY2009. This working capital requirement was primarily driven by
increase in receivables on account of large number of projects nearing
completion and high volume of project execution undertaken during the year.

Investing cash flow includes primarily purchase of fixed assets to the
extent of Rs. 120 Mn and investments in liquid funds of Rs. 73 Mn.

For FY2010, Operations and Investment activities were financed primarily
through borrowed funds to the extent of Rs. 2,368 Mn (net) and equity to
the net extent of Rs.2231 Mn. There was a net interest payout of Rs. 917
Mn.

Business Strategy:

Our business strategy has withstood the financial crisis and we continue to
believe that our strategy remains relevant and potent for the growth of the
Company. The key components of our strategy are as follows:

1. Strategically conceived and positioned projects:

Unlike the conventional land-bank approach and fitting a development story
around it, we follow a strategy of identifying visible demand-supply gaps
and a relevant customer segment. We then conceive our product around the
segment's requirements and identify an appropriate land-bank that meets all
demands of the conceived product.

As a result of this strategy, we will not be left with a stagnant land bank
and we are able to maintain our profitability (a threshold of -30%
operating margins).

2. Focus on Financial Strength and Liquidity:

We strive to ensure a healthy balance of funding options to ensure optimum
leverage of our balance sheet and remain solvent to meet our debt
obligations as well as provide value to our investors. Our sound business
approach and vision for the company has been the driving force behind the
support we have received from lenders as well as equity investors.

3. Building Customer Loyalty and hence a strong Brand Image:

With our strategic approach, we have been successful in understanding the
psyche of our target customer classes and have accordingly developed
products at appropriate locations with right demand attributes. We have
been able to fulfil all real estate needs of our customers and thereby have
widened our scale.

A concomitant advantage of our development strategy in Mumbai is the
flexibility that we have in controlling our land acquisition costs. We
intend to develop land for our South & Central Mumbai projects through the
redevelopment route. A key advantage of the re-development route is the
flexibility a developer has in controlling its acquisition & entitlement
costs. Unlike the conventional method of buying open plots by making
upfront cash outflows towards acquisition, redevelopment in Mumbai requires
staggered cash out-flows towards land entitlement as well as tenant
settlement and rehabilitation. This allows us to control our cash out-flows
keeping in view the business cycle, pace of development and macro economic
conditions.

Outlook:

Business Outlook for the Company:

In our view, while the real estate market in Mumbai will see a stability or
a marginal decline in prices in some areas, rates in the high end premium
lifestyle properties is likely to see medium to long term growth backed by
rebounding income growth, growing investor confidence and infrastructure
development in the city. Moreover, with changing lifestyles, greater
exposure to housing concepts across the globe, customers are evolving to
the next level by aspiring beyond quality of construction to more value
added offerings and a range of amenities adding convenience and luxury to
their day to day lives. We are not only geared up to serve their
requirements but we believe that our projects have been instrumental in
increasing their awareness and hence contributing to their evolution. We
are confident of a strong response from our customer base to the launch of
our mega project in Mandwa as well as redevelopment projects in South and
Central Mumbai and a sound growth of the company in future.

Opportunities:

- The secular growth story of India, with GDP growing at around 7-8% and
the consequent impact on the real estate sector including the Mumbai
market, remains intact. We continue to believe that we are in a sector that
is positioned to capture the benefits of this economic growth.

- There is a steady supply of dilapidated and cessed buildings in prime
areas of South Mumbai for which premium prices can be quoted for 'Grade A'
residential and commercial developments.

- The concept of lifestyle real estate products, smart homes, theme
buildings, service residential apartments and lifestyle retail has been
well received.

- Mumbai, where our focus remains, will improve significantly with a slew
of key infrastructure projects that are being planned.

- At the same time, due to crunch in space, Mumbai presents opportunities
in horizontal expansion in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in various forms
like Integrated Townships and IT Parks.

Threats:

Labour shortage due to non-receptive political conditions in Mumbai can
lead to increase in labour costs and reduce profitability of operations due
to possible scarcity of labour and consequent delay in project
construction.

With RBI's measures on increasing provisioning for credit to real estate
sector and its expression of concern on the asset price bubble, cost of
debt is likely to go up for real estate company.

Risks and Concerns:

Missing out on Mass housing & mid-size housing opportunity:

- With the economy back on track, mass housing or the mid-size housing
requirement is expected to witness good growth over the next two years due
to lower interest rate on housing loans, increase in disposable income with
salaried class, increase in urban middle class population, shift in
preference from rented house to owned house, tax incentives, etc.

- Most of our projects are targeted at high end or up market buyers and
this segment may not witness growth in revenues and profits in line with
mass housing market.

Execution risks:

- Our business requires, among others, getting consent from at least 70% of
thetenants, consensus between various groups of tenants, providing
temporary alternate accommodation to them during the interim period of
demolition and construction, obtaining consents and rehabilitation. Delay
in any of the aforesaid activities can thus have adverse financial
implications.

- Any delay in the construction or prolonged construction period will lead
to increased cost and the same will affect our profitability.

Competition:

- The entry of new and established players with local and national presence
can affect our acquisition of potential targets in the existing and new
markets.

Other risks:

- Implementation of IFRS: While the company is geared up for implementation
of IFRS in compliance with statutory norms, guidelines in the new standards
could have significant downside implications on reported financials.
However, this is not likely to hamper the operations and cash flows in the
normal course of business.

- Debtor Recoverables: With growing number of projects under execution and
the nature of individual agreements with clients, the outstanding amount
gives an illusion of high receivables in the form of Debtors.

- Changes in the policies of Government of India, Government of
Maharashtra, Municipal Corporations and MMRDA related to environment, FSI
and implementation of infrastructure projects and other matters can
adversely impact the real estate scenario and hence our business and
prospects.

- Sudden deterioration in the credit worthiness of our clients / debtors
can adversely affect our collections and impact financial performance.

- Our operations and results are also subject to general economic factors
like the economic, income & demographic conditions of Mumbai.

Depending on the type of risk, the Company is combating each risk by
various means like strategic tie-ups with regional players in construction,
qualitative market research, quicker decision making, strategizing the
sales and prices with timelines. Moreover, the Company has strengthened its
processes related to legal due diligence further during the year so as to
reduce the risks of getting into projects with longer gestation period
mainly due to legal intricacies.

New Initiatives:

We have introduced several new organization-wide initiatives as part of the
quest to transform the company into a world class organization.

convergence from I-GAAP to IFRS way ahead of its mandated date which is
from the financial year commencing April 01, 2011.

b. ERP Implementation:

To address the increasing demands from scaling up operations, we have
initiated the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software

and OHSAS 18001:2007. (The company has not applied for the aforesaid
certifications).

Internal Controls and their Adequacy:

The Company has an adequate system of internal controls commensurate with
its nature of business and scale of operations. Well established and robust
internal audit processes, both at business and corporate levels,
continuously monitor the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control
environment across the Company and the status of compliance with operating
systems, internal policies and regulatory requirements.

The Internal Audit function consisting of professionally qualified
accountants, engineers and IT specialists, also review the quality of
planning and execution of all ongoing projects involving significant
expenditure to ensure that project management controls are adequate.

Segment Reporting:

The Company's business activities fall within single segment, viz. real
estate and redevelopment and predominantly operates in domestic market.
Accordingly, disclosure requirements under Accounting Standard (AS) 17
segment reporting, is not applicable.

Forward Looking Statements:

- Certain statements in the Management Discussions and Analysis describing
the Company's objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or

- Important operations include material availability and prices, cyclical
demands and pricing in the Company's principal markets, change in
Government regulations, tax regime, economic developments within India and
other incidental factors.

- Our revenues and expenses are difficult to predict and can vary
significantly from period to period, which could cause share prices to
decline.

- Our projects are subject to risks from natural disasters like earthquakes
and floods.

- When used in this report, the words anticipate', believe', estimate',
expect', intend', will' and other similar expressions as they relate to
the Company and/or its businesses are intended to identify such forward-
