3. RESERVE

Your Directors have decided to transfer 10% of the profits earned during the year to General Reserve.

4. PERFORMANCE

Your company recorded a profit before tax of Rs. 29.36 crore which is a marginal increase of 2.4% over the previous year figure of Rs. 28.67 crore. The profit after tax too improved to Rs. 18.63 crore as against Rs.18.28 crore in the previous year. The above achievement is despite a marginal drop in the total income at Rs. 4476.86 crore in 2014-15 as against Rs. 4695.20 crore in the previous year.

In 2014-15 your company continued its core business activities of money changing and money transfer both as RBI Licensed Authorised Dealer Category II and RBI approved one of the principal agents of Western Union Financial Services, USA respectively. The other business activities to leverage on its pan India reach included Travel, Serving Insurance & Telecom Companies and as a measure to contribute to green energy company continued its operation of a 7.2 MW wind farm set up about 3 to 4 years back. During the year under review there was no change in the core business activities of the company.

The company's wide reach across India was on account of its ability to tie up with over 35 banks, leading financial institutions having multi outlets and number of enterprising retail outlets and collectively the presence reached out to about 200 owned outlets and about 52000 sub agent outlets.The sub agent outlets are predominantly for international inbound money transfer.

In the core business of money changing the net profit of the division doubled to about Rs. 13.40 crore as against Rs. 6.68 crore in the previous year. This is despite the sales in 2014-15 being marginally less at Rs. 4338.49 crore as against Rs. 4565.66 crore in the previous year. The said achievement in profits has been predominantly on account of better margin realization contributed by improved inventory management monitoring the exchange rate fluctuations and taking early remedial measures. Also during the year company rationalized certain branches which were not materially contributing to the bottom line.

As far as the second main business activity of Western Union Money Transfer Services the company could sustain its operations by achieving a gross income of about Rs. 95 crore in 2014-15 as against Rs. 94 crore in the previous year. This is in the light of tough competition, new overseas entrance, some international money transfer entries creating strong presence in specific corridors and most importantly the advancement in technology facilitating moving money through account to account and mobile banking.

Both the core activities of the company are highly regulated and the company too constantly gears to comply with the extant guidelines of Reserve Bank of India by improving systems and procedures, providing continuous training to employees, strengthening its internal control and internal audit system and all these too facilitating improved operations and profitability.

The company has also tied up with entity having online platform in providing leads for purchase and sale of foreign exchange and also facilitating booking of foreign exchange to insulate from the fluctuation of exchange rate for a specific period.

A group company has obtained in-principle approval for prepaid instrument business and the company contemplates tying up with the group company as it can leverage on its wide network. The group company is developing its own software systems and the business may commence in 2015-16.

As RBI is encouraging entities to reach out to the remotest places in India and Central Government too is keen on every Indian family to have bank accounts and facilitate number of benefits in the form of obtaining subsidies directly etc. RBI had invited applications for Payments bank license and your company too sensing this as an opportunity has applied for the license.
