State of Company''s affairs

- Margins analysis

The Company''s EBITA margin strengthened to 25.60% in 2014-15 from 20.13% in 2013-14 owing to:

- Increased execution of business from lower cost geographies like India and Singapore

- Strategic cost management initiatives resulting in optimal infrastructure utilisation

- Efficient current asset management, including receivables and creditors, resulted in lower interest cost

- EBITDA has crossed C 10499.57 lac for the first time in the Company''s history

- The net profit margin was 17.36% in 2014-15 compared to 13.77% in 2013-14 despite higher expenditure on Taxes

- Reserve

The Company proposes to transfer a sum of C109 lac to its CSR Reserve. An amount of C 6629.67 lac is proposed to be retained in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the financial year 2014-15.

- Capital employed

The total capital employed increased from C17583 lac to C22781 lac in 2014-15 largely due to an increase in reserves and surplus, and a small increase in equity capital.

Economic Scenario and Outlook

The Global Payment Industry is poised for continuing growth, reaching $2.3 Trillion by 2018

1. Fuelled by increase in stability and volume - applicable for liquidity revenue as well as transaction revenue - the Payments industry is projected to reach $2.3T by 2018 (@ 8% CAGR) Payment-related revenue will account for 43% of global banking revenue by 2018, up from 34% in 2009.

2. Five disruptive forces:

a. Digital transformation of merchant payments

b. Shift in power from data accumulation to data insights and applications i.e. growing role of data analytics in developing actionable market insights

c. Advent of non-card real-time payments: conversion of paper could release $80 billion by 2018

d. Rapid growth and digital transformation in cross-border transaction banking: estimated to be growing at 9%

e. Payments will be the cornerstone in the next phase of digital banking

3. Highest growth would be from APAC (56%) region - top growth rate being that of Indonesia (17% CAGR), followed by China (15% CAGR). 25% of Indonesia''s growth would be fuelled by payment transaction fees.

4. European Commission''s new interchange regulation, which is likely to come into effect in 2016. In its current version,

it would cause $7.2 billion in European card revenue to evaporate.

Historic impact:

a. The implementation of the Directive on Payment Services in Europe led to the evaporation of $1.5 billion in float revenue, as of 2008

b. In the U.S., the Durbin Act will cut revenues by $7.1 billion, by 2018

c. Overdraft pricing limits in the UK and interchange fee limits in Australia, India and Korea have also taken their toll

Disruptions and Opportunities are emerging from Digitisation

1. Sustained growth expected in the next 5 years

2. 70% of world population own mobile out of which 25% have smartphones (2013)

3. Online banking grew by 2.6% and mobile banking grew by 4.4% (2013)

4. Consumer need driving convenience of mobile personalized banking service; Corporate demand driving online and digital banking service

5. Regulatory impact driving changes:

a. Margin compression may impact short term but would have low impact on long term revenue

b. KYC and AML adding cost to bank operation but creating a barrier to entry for new entrants

c. Increasing openness and standardization - leading to opportunity for non-banking digital technology players'' opportunity to access accounts and build services in a uniform way - this would have highest positive impact

6. Digital transformation of merchant payments:

a. E-commerce growing 6 times faster than store commerce

b. Innovations driving adoption - e-wallet (PayPal), credit transfer (IDEAL in Netherlands, MyBank in Europe)

c. Emergence of specialized online merchant service providers such as online payment service providers and gateways

d. Smartphone blurring digital and physical purchase experience - increasing "consider-evaluate-buy-bond" experience adoption

e. Mobile as POS and Mobile POS increasing e-payment adoption for SMB

f. Integration of checkout and purchase paving way for new service and revenue via loyalty programs, consumer analytics, mobile search and digital offers

g. Technology players entering the space - LevelUp, Braintree, Square, Amazon, Google, etc. and banks are competing as well - new solutions from Spain''s CaixaBank mPOS is Square like, Albert from Commonwealth Bank of Australia complete with "Pi" an open platform marketplace where Albert apps can be built (like Clover), CaixaBank''s PremiaT allows cardholders to access offers and promotions in their vicinity (using geo-location technology) and gives merchants a platform to circulate their offers among a large pool of potential customers

h. For banks that support issuing and acquiring, digital platform is enabling integrated services across channels (online, mobile and in-store) and new services along the consumer purchasing journey, merchant providers can widen the scope of their business. This would recover revenue erosion for the issuing segment forced by compression of fees

7. Shift in power from data accumulation to data insights

and applications

a. Parameters captured by payments: spending preferences of consumers, location, liquidity

behaviours, channel preferences and even counterparty exposures

b. The global payments industry transacts an estimated nearly 400 billion cashless payments a year, amounting to nearly 30 terabytes of data

c. Traditionally analytics was used for risk and fraud management, however, now aggregators are using these for more than one way - for example, compute credit rating using social data (Lenddo) scans inputs from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Gmail and Yahoo accounts, as well as past credit repayment performance ratings, to rate a consumer''s credit-worthiness

d. Banks are tying up with technology players to kick start. Bank of America, for example, combined its existing customer base and data with Cardlytics, forming BankAmeriDeals, a merchant-funded rewards program that taps into customer data to create targeted digital offers for Bank of America customers.

A similar example is Chase and Visa

8. Advent of non-card real-time payments

a. Australia has launched a platform "New Payments Platform" for low value payments that would be funded immediately and has created a platform for banks to innovate

b. Similar efforts are in UK (Faster Payments), Singapore (G3), Sweden (BiR)

c. These can migrate C2C / P2P payments away from paper. 2013 estimate for C2C is $6.2T. If 5% is moved to such platform it would generate $80B additional revenue. However, this may eat into card payments and if 5% of card transaction moves to this, it would erode $20B from the payment revenue

d. Banks need to adopt service lines for such low value transactions to support use cases such as one-off person-to-business payments (like last-minute bill payments); or low-value business-to-business payments

9. Rapid growth and digital transformation in cross-border

transaction banking

a. Cross-border transactions, which include both cross- border payments and trade finance documentary services, accounted for $230 billion in revenues in 2013

b. Expected to grow at 8% CAGR

c. Epicentre is shifting from Europe to Asia with rise of middle class in this region

d. New technology players are challenging banks here - Traxpay, Earthport, KlickEx, Open-SCi and Orbian are examples of non-bank players competing with the correspondent banking system

e. KYC and AML driving interoperable third party KYC services beyond banks SWIFT KYC and Thomson Reuters KYC - this can benefit technology players as well.

10. Payments will be a cornerstone in the next phase of digital banking

a. Payments is the dominant digital part of banking and is the testing ground for broader digital banking products and services

b. Web fuelled online channel is being expanded by mobile infrastructure now available

c. Integrating to provide via mobile spend management, social integration, real-time location-based loyalty and discount offers

d. Success stories in Kenya, India, South Africa, Uganda, Ghana are path setters

The world is quickly transitioning to Digital commerce and that demands Digital payments, anytime, anywhere. Internet of things (IOT) is at the heart of this evolution, and it is believed that the IOT build is a $30 trillion opportunity over the next 10 years. According to Ernst and Young, there are already 500 million middle class consumers in emerging markets and the number is likely to grow by 3 billion in the next two decades. This translates into what Financial Times terms as Demand shock by emerging economies, building the market for American brands and products. Digital commerce is creating a level playing field for consumers to buy goods anytime, anywhere.

Digital commerce is bringing about regulatory changes which in turn impact the payments industry. Domain knowledge therefore becomes a key ingredient for companies to build the evolutionary payments infrastructure. RS Software is uniquely qualified to engage in this space, and is transitioning its strategy to capitalize on these defined trends. This transition is impregnated with challenges and opportunities which bring potential volatility with it. Fortunately the company in its twenty years has demonstrated success in navigating volatility, achieving managed transition to strengthen its long term foundation. The company is committed to use this opportunity to diversify its business away from its dominant client and expand its reach to geographies beyond North America.

RS Software has taken the decision to minimise its risks of client concentration, put in place a risk managed business model that will transition its strategy to achieve its dual objective of progressing from "pure outsourcer" model to a hybrid, with new recurring product/services revenue.

Management Discussion and Analysis

RS Software services the growing needs of leading organisations in the global payments industry through in-depth expertise, all-inclusive services and relentless innovation.

Making it an attractive proxy of this rapidly emerging space across the world.

RS Software - the leader in this space, and committed to enhance it further.

One, we work extensively with payment network companies, who represent the core of electronic payment processes. These networks drive much of the innovation and cutting-edge development that transform the way we now transact in a virtual world. By the virtue of being present at the cutting- edge of change, we benefit in two ways: we are able to appraise the direction in which modern payment networks and technologies are headed and are hence able to adapt our technology response; we are able to provide services with speed around these inflection points through which we evolve into a preferred service provider.

Two, even as we derive the principal portion of our revenues from one of the largest payment network companies and have been doing so for years, we are optimistic of the vast operating headroom in exploring opportunities across other companies. RS Software is engaged in leveraging the rich experience of working with large select clients and widening its customer mix, broad-basing its risk and opening it to wider growth possibilities.

Three, even as one reads extensively about the e-commerce revolution transpiring in India, the reality is that the country is barely scratching the surface. Most people confuse e-commerce for digital payments. In India, there is a difference; a number of e-commerce transactions are still concluded through physical cash at the customer''s premises. As the country matures in the use of virtual money, we see a growing incidence of digital payments. As a company that has been engaged in this space for years, we are well positioned to provide a widening portfolio of solutions to other payment network companies.

Four, there is a growing recognition that digital money will be the currency of the future. This evolution is being catalysed by the growing incidence of smartphones. As opportunities on smartphones increasingly present themselves, the consumer intends to transact immediately through the same instrument. There is then a growing priority for payment network companies to facilitate these transact -ions through smartphone applications, which inevitably warrants dependable knowledge service providers like RS Software.

The company is exploring a larger presence in the testing space. Our testing revenues have grown 2.5x, in the last 5 years alone. This is a validation of our deep commitment to this space, which represents approximately 30% to 35% of the entire software life cycle management. As the payment industry evolves and responds to digital commerce, new technologies are getting adopted, and legacy applications (dominant portion of the existing technology infrastructure) have to interface with new generation applications. Each of these has to be tested to ensure that the trust on the financial services provider is not impacted. As it is, the disruptors like Apple, Google, Alipay and Amazon are making life difficult for Incumbents - the major banks and payment networks.

RS Software is committed to meet the needs of both the Incumbents and the Disruptors.

The State of Testing

The testing industry has seen significant expansion across all sectors in the last five years. It is seen by many as one of the most important growth areas in the IT sector and has experienced major activity in M&A activity while other parts of the market have remained stagnant to a great degree.

Agile methodology

It is estimated that the testing process consumes between a third and a half of all software development budgets. As the industry as a whole moves increasingly towards agile development processes, the need for testing at all stages increases. The reality of Agile development methods is that companies see many more code drops in an environment where traditional approaches to testing deliver massively reduced value as the steady state such approaches rely on are non-existent. In addition, the ability to provide genuine load testing grows in relevance and importance, as changes are released frequently into a production environment to maximise the benefits of the agile development state.

Cloud based testing

The growth in cloud computing further extends the need for load testing and the broader requirement of virtualisation. Testing virtualisation offers the opportunity for entire systems to be tested, scaled and deployed rapidly, and without the need for major hardware environments supporting replicated live systems, which improves turn around for users and makes a significant, positive impact on costs. In itself, the provision of cloud based testing services enables substantial cost savings for the industry as well as stricter adherence to standards.

For instance, clients can take advantage of interface testing in the cloud, rather than each owning their own interface testing tools, which would in themselves require uplifts as the standards change and develop (an exercise that occurs twice a year in all major schemes).

Brand protection & innovation

For many financial institutions, the software and the services they provide are their only means of engaging or interacting with their client. Internet banking, ATMs, Mobile Payments and Banking, Tablet services, are the ways in which the modern consumer manages the full range of their relationship with their bank or payment provider. These facilities are now normalised in every sense, and any lack of availability of what is expected to be a 24x7 set of services is the modern equivalent of a bank not opening its doors fifty years ago. Preventing operational issues, down time, system failures, or even the most basic account level errors is fundamental to ensuring the service expectation is met fully. Organisations who do not invest in proper, professional testing will increasingly fall behind their competitors as devices, channels and services, and their speed of deployment, continue to be central to a bank''s customer engagement strategy. When one considers the severe impact of promoting poorly tested solutions into production it''s clear to see why this is such a critical IT component. Financial losses, system unavailability and the resultant damage to a financial institution''s brand have all been experienced by some of the world''s foremost organisations as a result of ineffective testing. These problems impact balance sheets, share values and are often very public; they cause embarrassment, and occasionally worse, to senior managers. The critical role of testing along the full extent of the payment chain is, as a result, recognised across all players in the financial sector.

Digital payment opportunities are perishable; if a network cannot facilitate payments, the consumer immediately uses another card and moves to another network. The result is that every network wants to create a 99.99 percent uptime environment that facilitates transactions anywhere, anytime and anyhow. This is easier said than done. What this requires is a comprehensive testing discipline that helps in building and maintaining networks. Over the last few years, the emphasis on testing has only grown. With client requirements growing - in volumes, urgency and sophistication - the time has come to take our testing competencies to the other level. We need to provide end-to-end testing solutions (across products

and services) that make us mission-critical to the success of our customers, translating into multi-year engagement and growing project sizes. To grow these competencies in-house would take long; what we need to do is go out and acquire companies that possess these capabilities, fast-tracking our growth from one level to another.

Management discussion

R.S. Software (India) Limited is a global leader in providing technology solutions to Global electronic payments industry from India, and the company continues to set higher standards of performance. Its growth has been higher than the industry growth rate over past few years in succession now.

This is an continual cycle, which will keep growing with the growth of the world economy. The opportunities are endless.

Payments companies can spend as much as 10% of their total revenue on technology and infrastructure leading to a sizeable opportunity and RS Software is attractively positioned to capitalise on this global phenomenon. Even though 85% of all transactions are still done in cash, there is a growing convergence of online and mobile channels of payments which is forcing payment companies to re-platform their systems to meet consumer expectations.

The global volume of money spent using mobile phones was around $106 billion in 2011, rising to $171 billion in 2012, and is expected to grow to about $617 billion by 2016.

RS Software integrates knowledge management, innovation and specialised methodologies with 20 years of an exclusive focus on payments processing. This approach which differentiates RS Software from mere outsourcing providers has made it the partner of choice for leading global payment brands.

RS Software possesses an expertise in global outsourcing and insight into electronic payment transactions. This has been supported by a business strategy to work with major stakeholders in the global payments industry.

Review & Analysis of the Financial Performance

Revenue analysis

The net revenues grew 22 % from Rs.26,499 lacs in 2011- 12 to Rs.32251.78 lacs in 2012-13. This growth can be attributed to primarily strategic cost management initiatives and early payoff from investments in enhancing our sales and marketing infrastructure. I am pleased to inform that The company also received the following recognition during the fi scal year:

RS Software has appeared for the fi rst time in Forbes "Asia''s 200 Best under a Billion" in 2012. Steady Growth in Revenues, Profi t and Earnings per Share has placed the company in this Elite Group.

RS Software has been listed as one of the "30 fastest

growing companies in India", by Outlook Business. Ranked at #17, RS Software has moved into the spotlight of high performing organizations across all sectors in India.

Management discussion

An extensive commentary has been provided about the company in the fulfi llment of the strategy section, which shows the management leadership being provided in each area of the business. According to Dee Hock, the founder of the electronics payment industry, "an organization, no matter how well designed, is only as good as the people who live and work in it. Ultimately what determines the organization''s performance is the approach to management its leaders take." At RS Software we consciously pursue leadership development at various levels, and constantly are on the look for talent globally that can help us to implement our strategy eff ectively.

Last year, the top fi ve Indian information technology (IT) services providers - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, HCL and Cognizant- together grew 13.3 %, accounting for revenues of $34.3 billion. During the same period, the overall IT services industry grew just 2%, according to research and advisory fi rm Gartner. RS Software grew 8% during 2012-13, ahead of at least two of the fi ve large service providers, which grew at a pace of ~4% over the previous fi scal year.

The performance of the company has reinforced its commitment to capitalize on the next wave of growth for the Indian IT companies, and is expected to grow 3 times in the next 10 years. As mentioned elsewhere in the report the long term secular growth trend for the Payments industry is well established. We are constantly preparing ourselves to leverage this opportunity.

In order to be in the drivers'' seat to ride on this opportunity, the company continues to reinforce its core strength, which will be an enabler for the company to achieve exponential growth. The company continues to focus on:

1) Pursuing Its longer term Operational and Strategic plan.

2) Putting a robust global sales engine to leverage upon the growth potential that exists in the global market place.

3) Having an effi cient organization structure which is decentralized and provides adequate platform for eff ective growth.

4) Developing systems coupled with installation of an ERP system.

5) Institutionalization of the Gazelles methodology of management & planning that focuses on best practices for mid-size businesses.

6) Innovation to play a key role in enhancing RS Software''s ability to marry the emerging technologies with the changing demands of consumers and business in the way they experience payments.

7) Targeting increased emphasis on operational and risk governance with formalized PMO and QA practices.

The credible performance has only reinforced the company's commitment to ensure that this time around, the company is fully prepared to capitalize on the next wave of growth for the Indian companies, with Indian IT industry expected to grow 3 times in the next 10 years. This coincides with the inflexion point for growth in the Payments industry. In anticipation of this opportunity, the company continues to build upon its core strength, which enables exponential rather than linear growth. Amongst other parameters, the company is focusing on:

1) The organization structure is decentralized and provides for efficient growth.

2) Building a robust global sales engine, that complements the high priority accorded to the company's dominant customer, and leveraging at the same time unusual growth potential.

3) Systems are developing, getting more refined and extensive, including the installation of an ERP system, and institutionalization of the Gazelles methodology that focuses on best practices for mid size businesses. This has helped large number of companies to grow from mid size to world class companies.

4) Longer term Operational and Strategic planning are being put in place.

5) Innovation to play a key role in enhancing R.S. Software's ability to marry the emerging technologies with the changing demands of consumers and business in the way they experience payments.

6) Unique early advantage which we are now leveraging given the timing of events in the electronic payments industry represents a huge growth potential for R.S. Software.

7) The company is targeting increased emphasis on operational and risk governance with formalized PMO and QA practices.

8) The proximity to Silicon Valley, a highly developed eco system for the payments industry, provides access to premium payments consultants and associations to collaborate with.

The Electronic Payments industry globally is going through its major growth evolution at the same time, given the interesting intersection of technology advancements and cultural changes that facilitate the move from paper money to digital currency. The volume and the value of electronic payment transactions are projected to grow multiple times in the next several years.

Payments appears to be a tremendously area ripe for disruption - new technologies are changing the relationship between consumers and merchants. The opportunity is extremely large, as this is a huge market with >$41 trillion in electronic payment volume and ~$300b in revenue in the US payment industry alone. The business of payments hinges on processing and storing large volumes of transaction data. To perform these activities well or at all, payments companies can spend as much as 10% of their total revenue on technology infrastructure. Reducing these costs even by a fraction of a percent can release millions of dollars that can be reinvested in growth and innovation or applied to the bottom line. Consequently, many global payments organizations face a demand for technology infrastructure that outpaces the growth of their business. These organizations have gone to great lengths to reduce their technology operating costs by re-engineering processes, shifting to global sourcing models and leveraging virtualized technologies. To find still more savings, they must evaluate how their business consumes technology and find a better way to match supply and demand.

Global customers have incrementally matured and are looking for the unique combination of high value-adds and high quality performance. Pursuing its core values and committed to "Think of Yourself as the Customer", the company has redefined its business strategy. R.S. Software is now a technology company focused on the Electronic Payments industry.

R.S. Software has carved out its niche to bring to the market place, the combination of its expertise in global outsourcing, and the domain knowledge of Electronic Payment transactions. Capitalizing on this core strength, R.S. Software has defined its business strategy to work with the major stakeholders in the payments industry globally. To fulfill its vision of becoming a global leader in providing technology solutions to the Electronic Payments industry, the company will work with major Payment networks, Acquiring and Issuing processors, Emerging Payment players, and Technology solution providers, who continually invest in the development and enhancements of their systems to compete in an increasing competitive market. The Marketing and sales strategy, complemented by the company's Innovation and fulfillment strategy, are all aligned to target the next phase of growth.

The Financial strategy of the company is to commit investments to meet the dynamic growth challenges. The company is committed to building:

- Diversified talent pool with globalised recruiting and HR practices

- Multiple management tracks, globalised expertise

- Emphasis on learning, knowledge management, research spending

- Deployable and specialized talent pools

The company continues to demonstrate process scalability and management agility, focusing on its core values of bringing Responsive Solutions to its customers, and reinforcing the culture of working with passion to help its customers compete.

The global software services industry is marked by a number of large multi-vertical companies. In this space, the large companies usually prefer to engage with large software service providers.

Over the years, R.S. Software has competed successfully against considerably larger multi-vertical companies, carved contracts away and grown twice as fast as India's broad off shoring sector.

The Company has reinforced its presence in a niche on account of varied dimensions of its distinctive business model.

Performance of Subsidiaries
