Explanatory Statement

(Pursuant to Section 102 (1) of the Companies Act 2 013)

Explanatory Statement for Resolution 4

The Government of Maharashtra has in its Government Gazette No. Land/3411/84/Prakrapu-1484/J-5, Revenue and Forest Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai 400 032 dated 30/11/2011 passed orders of extension of lease of our lands at the Golf Course as well as the Main Club till 2037 subject to increasing the number of convertees from Gymkhana subscribers to Permanent Membership to minimum 15 each year . However, in the year 2013-14 after discussions with the then Divisional Commissioner and the District Collector, it was agreed that 10 Gymkhana Subscribers would be converted to Permanent Membership each financial year. The recommendation to that effect was forwarded to the Government to make necessary changes in the Gazette. On this backdrop, the Articles of Association of the Club were suitably modified to increase the number of yearly convertees from 5 to 10. However representation made by the Club to convert 10 Gymkhana subscribers each financial year has not been favourably considered by the Government.

Therefore, in view of the above mentioned Government order, it is necessary that the Article 2 (i) Explanation II and 2 (i) (c) would have to be modified to provide for minimum 15 conversions for each Financial Year to enable us to sign the lease deed of the land for granting lease rights in favour of the Club, which will be valid till 2037.

None of the members of the Managing Committee or their relatives or Secretary of the Club has any concern or interest, financial or otherwise, in passing this resolution except in their capacity as member of the Club

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS My Dear Fellow Members, Warm Greetings! It gives me immense pleasure in presenting to you the Annual Report for the FY 2014-15. The assimilation of newly-added members has resulted into new friendships, good fellowship and strong bonding which in turn is bringing in positive energy and vibrancy in the Club. The Club has started buzzing throughout the week in all centers and corners, resulting in unprecedented footfalls. It is heartening to know that the members are enjoying various facilities. The quality of food & beverages and entertainment programmes has been enhanced to higher standards. Today our F&B rates are unmatchable. Due to sponsorships, the entertainment programmes are becoming self-sufficient. The services have improved beyond expectations, thanks to the professional training undertaken for the staff. We are enjoying cordial relations with the staff and labour. Recently we formed a Committee called “Internal Complaints Cell” for “women’s sexual harassment at work place” to benefit our lady staff which helps maintain the working environment safer, secured and friendly. Our Club Secretary has successfully increased the efficiency of the administration and he has also developed friendly interaction with members. The overall upkeep, house-keeping, maintenance and ambience are satisfactory. In response to the Prime Minister’s call, we implemented the “Swachchata Abhiyan” at our Club and also celebrated “International Yoga Day”. Discipline and decorum are being maintained to raise the Club’s standards to a higher level. A new venue ‘The Pub’ has been opened for youngsters while the Permit Room has shed its old look. The toilet blocks at the Pub and Billiards terrace have been redone. The Billiards Room and Badminton Courts have been spruced up. The flora and fauna along with the water body attracts more fitness enthusiasts on the jogging track. The serene swimming pool is a favorite destination of many members. Recently the ladies changing room was renovated and the renovation work of the gents changing room is underway. Conscious efforts are being made to conserve water and electrical power to bring down the costs. The Upgradation of our Golf Course is being undertaken. The filtration plant and irrigation system have been ordered while the architect / designer / consultant for the course as well as for the Clubhouse has been finalized and their leg work has begun. The actual course work will begin on 1st October 2015 for the first 9 holes which is expected to be completed by end of March 2016. The second half of 9 holes work will begin on 1st April and should be completed by the end of September 2016. Then our Golf Course is expected to be as good as it was 20 years ago when it was done up first. I am confident that it will be the best course in Pune and will be envied by many and will fetch more subscribers, tournaments and sponsorships. At the Golf Club this year, the expenditure shot up phenomenally due to an increase in the maintenance expenses on the not-so-good condition of the course, unexpected expenses such as laying of the long-pending sewage pipeline, refurbishing of the men’s changing room, mid-way huts, caddy master’s shed, entrance gates with security cabin and repairs of old machines. On the other hand, the income eroded due to less subscribership than budgeted and lack of sponsorships. At the main Club, the income and expenditure are maintained more or less the same as budgeted except for the general maintenance. This was due to unforeseen works taken up while carrying out renovation work of the reception, lobby and lounge area. The two adjoining restaurants, the dining hall viz., the Cedar Lounge and Mayur, the veg. restaurant

were required to be done up alongside to match the ambience. There is a profit of Rs. 93.51 Lacs as against the budgeted amount of Rs 121.36 Lacs. But in the Golf Club we suffered a loss of almost 2 crores which resulted into an overall loss of Rs. 114 Lacs. In the past our Club has grown as and when the need arose and finances were available. We feel it is necessary to have a holistic development plan ready as the requirement over the years has changed. We must enhance the facilities such as additional parking space, swanky residential rooms, state-of-the-art-gymnasium-cum-spa, covered cinema hall/auditorium, additional swimming pool and increased capacity of all sports centers. The Building & Development Committee with the help of a few senior, professional and experienced members of the Club is working on the same line and very soon the management will present to you the total development plan of the Club. All this is possible because of team work and I thank all the members of the Managing Committee for their participation and unstinted support throughout the year. Special thanks to the Finance Chairman, Mr Dilip Sanghvi for saving costs on various accounts and conducting the membership audit single-handedly, which brings the membership numbers to near perfect now. Kudos to Mr Sunil Handa for getting handsome sponsorships and Mr Habib Currimbhoy for organising well-planned and imaginative entertainment programmes. Thanks also to Mr Marzban Bharucha, the Captain of the Golf Course, all the Sub-Committee members, co-opted members including the Editorial Board and Panel of Authors of our quarterly bulletin ‘Insight’. I am also grateful to all our consultants, including legal advisors, Adv. Ajay Gadegaokar, Adv. Bhalchandra Pathak and his team and most importantly, our Company Law Advisor Mr Mahesh Athawale and his team. I would also like to thank our administrative staff, labour, contractors, vendors and labour union leaders for their active involvement in the progress of our Club. Kind regards, Swastik Sirsikar President

The various facilities, such as new residential rooms, additional parking space, new well-equipped state-of-the-art gymnasium-cum-spa, covered auditorium including sports centers need to be enhanced or rebuilt at the main Clubhouse. A comprehensive development plan of the main Clubhouse and swimming pool complex for adding another pool is being worked out with the help of a planner. The same will be presented at the earliest. Design of a new Clubhouse at the Golf Course which includes a cafe, restaurant & bar, changing rooms, working gym, pro-shop with baggage store and banquet area, is complete and the work will commence once we seek the required permissions from the Govt authorities.

CATERING AND SPONSORSHIP:

It is felt that good entertainment combined with sumptuous food, has primarily been responsible for us having a very successful year.
