To The Members of Wall Street Finance Limited,
The Directors present the 26th Annual Report of your Company along
with the Audited Statements of Accounts for the year ended 31st March
2013.
OVERVIEW
The financial year 2012-13 continued to witness slowdown in the global
economy with sovereign debt crisis in Europe significantly contributing
to the economic and business uncertainties. The ''risk off'' mode of
global investors also led to slowdown in capital inflows into emerging
economies like India. Domestic policy uncertainties and economic
slowdown led to significant fall in our GDP growth rates.
Slowdown in global economic activities specifically in the developed
countries led to less Indian immigration into these countries. Our
segment of business also got affected due to emerging technologies
which are competing with our products. Large fiscal deficit coupled
with aggravated current account deficit fueled significant volatility
in the currency market. Extreme volatility in the domestic currency
throughout the year affected the money changing business. The sharp
depreciation in the rupee affected overseas travel.
Inspite of the challenging environment, your directors are happy to
inform you that the corrective actions taken during the end of
Financial Year 2011-12, had revealed positive results in the financial
year 2012-2013. The businesses of the Company are now strongly
positioned and focused on sustainable growth and profitability. Your
directors are also exploring the opportunities of introducing new
synergistic segments to supplement and complement our current efforts
and the Money Transfer service offerings of your Company.
During the year under consideration your directors had continued with
the policy of no foreign currency export business and restructured the
business model for forex by changing its focus from mainly wholesale
and export oriented business to retail oriented business. With a
renewed focus on retail forex business, your Company has already
entered into the tie-ups with various banks like American Express,
ICICI Bank etc. in order to sell forex prepaid cards offered by them.

To The Members of Wall Street Finance Limited.
The Directors present the 25th Annual Report of your Company along
with the Audited Statements of Accounts for the year ended 31st March
2012.
OVERVIEW
The year 2011-12 has been extremely challenging on account of global
economic slowdown and financial market turmoil. Global macro economic
conditions have not yet shown signs of improvement and Indian financial
market continues to remain under pressure. The currency market has seen
volatility of unprecedented nature in the recent months and the
worsening domestic fiscal defcit position doesn't assure stability even
in the near future.
To meet the challenging circumstances and build a sustainable, long
term and Profitable business, your Directors have been reviewing various
business segments of the Company on a continuous basis. Such review has
resulted in discontinuation of the bulk foreign currency export
business in the second half of the year on account of shrinking margin
and high risks involved.
Renewed emphasis is being laid on increasing numbers of MTS
transactions and active sub-agents. The possibility of introducing new
products to optimize revenue from existing customers and sub-agents
base, is also being explored.
During the year, fraud in one of our branches in southern part of India
impacted our wholesale forex business badly. It diverted the focus of
the management towards handling litigation and other related matters
and also has put tremendous pressure on the Working Capital of the
Company resulting in increased outflow on account of interest.
To handle the unprecedented situation, the board undertook various
restructuring measures. In order to bring renewed focus on
Profitability, operations and risk management, the board brought in a
new highly experienced and capable leadership team to lead the
organization. Your Directors have adopted a strategy to focus on Money
Transfer, Retail Forex and Outward Remittance activities by building on
our core competencies as an organization and focus on enhancing our
foot-print of sub-agent locations during the current financial year. We
have also renewed focus on Profitability of the business and closed
non-Profitable branches, which did not seem to be potentially viable in
the coming quarters. The Company has also optimized costs at all levels
as per the business requirement to remove inefficiencies. These measures
have already started to yield positive results and should augur well in
the coming months.
The Company has formed a Risk Management Committee to lay down the
framework to manage the business risks and mitigate them. This will
ensure stricter internal controls and compliance mechanisms in the
business operations.
Our long-term goal is to be a premier financial service provider in the
areas which are evolving and to serve not only our existing customer
base but also add new ones as well. We are exploring opportunities to
use our existing network of branches and sub-agents and un-utilized
licenses by finding new products, capabilities, technologies and
partnerships. We are building our base strong to meet these emerging
needs by recruiting professional staff to drive the Company's business
to the desired level.

OPERATIONS
Your Company is an Authorised Dealer -Category II and thus is an
Authorised Money Changer licensed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
The Company is also licensed to operate the Money Transfer Service
System (MTSS) by the RBI and carries on the business of Money Transfer
as a Principal Agent of Western Union Financial Services Incorporation,
the world leaders in the Money Remittance business. Your Company is
also a Non Banking Finance Company (NBFC) licensed by the RBI. Money
Transfer and Money Changing are the principal businesses carried on by
the Company.
During the year 2009-10, the international economies continued to feel
effects of the economic slowdown and sub-prime crisis. The Money
Transfer industry was hit by the Dubai crisis while the Outward
Remittance business was shaken by student troubles in Australia and the
modification of eligibility criteria for students in the UK. The money
changing industry witnessed record low volumes due to continuous
strengthening of rupee against the US dollar and weakening of other
major currencies like Euro and GBP in the international markets. All
these factors affected the performance of the Company during the year
under review.
However, the new management was quick to react and various corrective
measures were implemented to strengthen the operations. The measures
taken for the Money Transfer business included realignment of manpower
and mapping of sub agent locations with branches, decentralization of
the process of appointment of new agents, improved call centre
services, improved branding and marketing activities for sub agents
etc. For the Forex business corrective measures included greater focus
on retail forex, placing of a margin cap on wholesale forex
transactions, further tightening of cash, bank and forex management and
monitoring the stocks and volumes of currencies on daily basis,
streamlining of treasury processes to ensure lesser exposures and risk,
encouraging local sales with promotional activities and personalized
services.
The effects of the corrective actions have started to show and the
results for the quarter ended 30th June 2010 are quite heartening as
compared to results for the previous quarter.
The management intends to further develop and expand Money Transfer
business which is the niche area of activity of the Company. Money
Transfer and Outward Remittance activities will be the focus areas in
the future. Plans are on the anvil to enhance the foot print of sub
agent locations for the Money Transfer business from 4,364 to 7,500
