II. BUSINESS SCENARIO AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The financial year 2011-12, was tough for the Indian economy. The Central Statistical Office (CSO) put out an advance estimate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 6.9 percent for 2011-12 as against 8.4 percent in 2010-11.

The growth slowed down in emerging and developing economies reflecting the combined impact of monetary tightening and slowdown in global growth.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its annual Monetary Policy Statement for 2012-13 dated April 17,2012 has announced reduction in the repo rate by 50 basis points from 8.5 percent to 8 percent with immediate effect. The RBI has also announced increase in the borrowing limit of scheduled commercial banks under the marginal standing facility from one percent to two percent of the bank's net demand and time liabilities. With these measures, RBI expects to address three important issues, namely stabilizing the growth of Indian economy around its current post-crisis trend, containing the risk of inflation and enhancing the liquidity cushion to the system.

The industry is expected to perform better than the last year as leading indicators suggest turn around in index of industrial production growth. The overall domestic growth outlook for the current year looks a little better than last year. According to RBI's baseline projections, the GDP growth for the current year 2012-13 should be 7.3 percent. The global outlook also looks slightly better than expected earlier.

RBI has issued final guidelines on securitization. RBI is expected to announce the draft guidelines on the regulatory framework for Non- Banking Financial Companies (IMBFCs), interlaid dealing with tightening capital adequacy norms and higher provisioning. It is expected that RBI will allow sufficient time to IMBFCs for migrating and re-aligning its operations with the new regulations.

Your directors are of the opinion that despite challenges ahead, your company's operations would not be seriously affected and your Company would continue to grow in future as well.

III. OPERATIONS

Loan disbursement registered a growth of 77 percent at Rs 13,898.00 crores as compared to Rs 7,864.00 crores in the previous year.

Income from operations for the year under consideration grew by 55.38 percent to Rs 2,056.41 crores as against Rs 1,323.44 crores for the previous year and the same resulted in a profit before tax of Rs 524.16 crores for the year under review, compared to Rs 360.60 crores during the previous year. As at March 31,2012 the assets under management stood at Rs 13,431.03 crores.

IV. FINANCE

During the financial year 2011-12, the RBI adopted a calibrated approach by hiking repo rate five times with a total hike of 175 basis points in order to contain inflation. It also introduced base rate system in place of prime lending rate from July 1,2010. These two factors resulted in medium/long term interest rate moving up. Tight liquidity conditions persisted during major part of the year. However, your Company was able to reduce the impact of increase in interest rate by continuously monitoring asset liability match and by following innovative method of borrowing and prudent method of lending. The Company's fund mobilization from banks, institutions, public issue and private placement of debentures and subordinated debts continues to be smooth. The summary of borrowings is as under:

BUSINESS SCENARIO AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The timely support through a series of economic measures and by active governmental monitoring of the Indian economy, it registered speedy recovery. India managed to grow at 8.00 percent in 2009-10 and 6.80 percent in 2008-09 in the face of global melt down. The growth during the financial year 2010-11 is reported to be about 8.60 percent. Indian economy derived major benefits from robust domestic demand and a revival in investor and consumer sentiment. This contributed for stronger capital inflows into the country.The Indian economy is projected to grow 8.50 percent - 9.00 percent in 2011-12. The volatile interest rates could pose a challenge. The growth in Retail Finance disbursement would largely be driven by increasing propensity to consume.increasing affordability.The penetration in retail finance still remains low.

World over, the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises or MSMEs have been recognised as engines of economic growth. In India, MSMEs are thesecond largest source of employment after agriculture. They account foralmost 40 per cent of industrial production, 95 per cent of the industrial units, 34 percent of the exports and manufacture over 6000 products. It is estimated that to create one job in the MSME sector, only Rs 72,000 is required as against Rs 5.5 lacs required in the large organised sector.

It is estimated that to achieve the target of 10 per cent growth by 2011, the MSME sector needs to grow at 12%.There are some major hurdles which do notallowthissectorto flourish well.

The first major hurdle is that the credit availability is low for this sector. It is estimated that the unorganised sector comprises 95% of the total industrial units, employing more than 65 million people. Yet only 8% of the total bank credit finds its way into this sector. Arranging collateral security, documentation etc makes clearance of the loan all the more difficult. Inevitably, many of these small units fall into the vicious cycle of debt and poverty and eventually many of them perish.

Formal sector has the option to raise huge sum from the money market, while the unorganised sector doesn't have any such opportunity. In the 11 th Five Year Plan, Planning Commission estimates that in the next five years the total working capital and loan requirement by the MSMEs/unorganised sector would be 2,96,000 crore. This huge credit requirement cannot be met by the banking system alone. The Company finds here huge scope in financing this sector of the economy through it's product "SMALL BUSINESS LOANS".

The exceptional growth in gold loan disbursements (loans against gold jewellery) in recent years, the under- penetrated nature of this market, being secured and negligible NPA levels make the lending against gold business attractive within the banking/NBFC space.

The gold loan market is pre-dominantly un-organised lending against this collateral, Indian households are estimated to have a gold holding of anywhere between 18,000 and 20,000 tonnes. Given that gold is not an income- generating asset, the only means to monetise gold holdings is through loans. Theoretically, this translates into a Rs 30 lac crore lending business opportunity (assuming a 75 per cent loan-to-value). The organised market size could be about Rs 38,000 crore (March 2011). This leaves a huge space for Financing against gold and Jewellery. The Company with its wide-spread business outlets sees huge opportunities of growth, particularly in the small business loans and loan against gold.

OPERATIONS

Income from Operations for the period under consideration was Rs.132091.19 lacs as against Rs.110284.71 lacs forthe previous year posting an increase of 19.77% year-on-year basis.

The Company earned a Profit before Tax of Rs.36060.09 lacs for the year ended 31s,March, 2011, registering an increase of Rs.7434.23 lacs (25.97%) over the previous year.which was at Rs 28625.86 lacs. The profit after tax at Rs.24058.85 lacs grew 23.85 % than the previous year (Rs 19425.86 lacs).
