Performance

The Company’s sales on a standalone basis has shown nearly a 5% increase overthe previous year.

The other income has shown a sharp rise primarily on account of gain on redemption of short term investments during the year.

Analysis of Expenses

Employee benefit expenses have shown a sharp increase over the previous year. This is primarily due to an increase in the employee count in India due to the expansion of the CGI and VR development divisions.

Depreciation has shown a sharp decrease due to lower capital expenditure incurred during the year. Profitability

The company’s profitability has reduced slightly due to the increase in employee expenses. However, the company expects to increase its profitability during the current year as a result of higher sales in the United States, Mexico, Europe, and India.

Dividend

In order to augment the ongoing expansion programs, the Directors have decided to plough back the profits into the system and regret inability to recommend dividend.

Business Overview

Business is changing. And izmo is showing the way

Plentiful bandwidth. Inexpensive Cloud Storage. Sophisticated Smartphones. Together, they are creating perpetually connected communities and seamless experiences, and izmo is shaping innovative marketing paradigms that enable businesses to navigate the new normal and win more customers.

Take PartsGorilla, for instance. It’s your 800-pound gorilla driving accessories sales at dealerships. Nothing ever comes anywhere close to it as it pushes accessories to delighted customers, which is why dealerships are selling more accessories than ever, with stratospheric profit margins.

PartsGorilla is perfect at making accessories selection seamless and delightful, but connected communities demand much more from car dealers. Prospective car buyers now begin their journey months before they ever make contact with a dealership, and they expect dealerships to be active partners all the way.

To succeed, dealers now need to know the priorities and concerns of their prospects, as they start researching their vehicle, and be visible to them at every stage. Dealers need to streamline their operations and make the entire dealership client-facing. Dealers also need to plug every source of wasteful expenditure and exploit every revenue opportunity.

That’s why we developed FrogData, the world’s first data analytics platform for automotive retail.

FrogData. Bringing Data Driven Decision-making to Dealerships

FrogData helps dealers in taking decisions that drive dealerships in an insightful way, backed by actionable information constantly garnered from deep data analytics.

In other words, we connect the dots that open newsales opportunities, bring more revenue, drive up profits, and create more customer connections fordealers.

Deploying FrogData results in more deals, higher margins, improved employee and equipment utilization, high inventory turnover, higher lifetime customer loyalty, and much more.

FrogData is built on a state-of-the-art open architecture platform that can easily accommodate virtually any type of data. With the explosion of new technologies and the dwindling of old database platforms, it is steadily becoming difficult to get such varied systems to “talk” to each other. FrogData solves this particular problem with its ability to accept any form of data from any type of system, new or old, and collating it in a centralized, easily usable database.

What’s more, FrogData offers the flexibility to commence data analytics deployment at a scale and scope which is comfortable to dealers. They can start with just a few departments or the entire dealership in one shot.

Partnerships with DealerTrak, CDK, and Hunter Engineering make. FrogData even easier to adapt, for dealers.

izmoFx: Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences and CGI

If big data analytics brings business clarity across multiple layers and complex dimensions to dealerships, Virtual Reality (VR) is the great industry disruptor that can take the dealership experience to where the customers are.

By creating an immersive, hands-on experience for car shoppers that simulates reality, izmoVR has the potential to convert prospective customers into buyers than any other tool available. izmoVR utilizes advanced CGI technology within izmocars1 proprietary VR Solution Platform to create a spectacular user experience at affordable costs. The izmoVR showroom solution, which can include dealer branding, is delivered using the lightweight, portable, and wireless Samsung Gear VR headset.

Delivering Immersive Experiences Anywhere

With izmoVR, dealers can deploy VR in the showroom, in the service wait area, oreven on their website. Each interaction will invoke user interest and generate leads.

Users experience vehicles in a completely immersive manner and get information about features that are not usually possible in a traditional demo. For example, airbags are an unseen but important safety feature that consumers never see in the buying process. izmoVR can literally bring this to life within the VR presentation, wowing the user and helping them understand its impact better.

By creating a powerful, immersive, hands-on experience for car shoppers that simulates reality, izmoVR has the potential to move buyers down the sales funnel considerably faster than any other visual marketing tool available.

izmoFxCGI

Computer generated imagery (CGI) can not only deliver greater cost savings but also faster speed- to-market and unlimited scope of reuse for automotive retail clients, from OEMs to dealers. Precisely because of this reason, the amount of regular photography of actual vehicles is steadily going down. Automotive OEMs have largely moved on to CGI and all related auto business websites are following suit.

The ability to place a vehicle in any location, any backdrop, any lighting, and any camera angle, which were previously unavailable with traditional photo-shoots, is too big an advantage to ignore. Changes that previously required a new photo-shoot, like a trim change or a different angle, are quite easy to accomplish with CGI, which makes vehicle photography obsolete.

In addition, CGI opens up possibilities for animated vehicle narrations, videos, as well as licensing for other markets like film, games, and other applications, all from the same CGI data.

CGI is a technically sophisticated three-step process that starts with vehicle scanning, 3D Build, and Render. The izmo CGI solution can also directly process manufacturer CAD data to create lifelike imagery of cars not yet available in the market.

izmo: a long tradition of innovation

PartsGorilla, FrogData, and izmoFx are the latest in a long series of trend-setting market innovations from izmo, starting from the izmoflix ver.1 which delivered the interactive automotive marketing experience to U S consumers as early as 2003.

New Opportunities: Defence Manufacturing Make in India, Make for the World

Defence & Aerospace is one of the 10 Champion Sectors identified under the Make in India version 2.0 of the Government of India, due to their “potential to become global champions, drive double-digit growth in manufacturing and generate significant employment opportunities.” Capitalizing on this “Make in India” initiative, izmo is entering the defence manufacturing sectorthrough its subsidiary, Hughes Precision Pvt. Ltd., with two major projects-manufacturing of ammunition and assault rifles.

The Opportunity

The global demand for reliable, high-quality arms, ammunition, and spares continues to be as high as ever, with The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) data on the international arms trade showing a continuing growth trend in major conventional weapons, with the volume of transfers from 20132017 being 10% higherthan it was over 2008-2012.

The five largest importers in 2013-17 were India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and China, receiving 35% of all arms imports. Countries like Vietnam, with close ties with India, increased their arms imports to become the world’s 11th largest arms importer.

The Global Arms Import-Export Gap: While India is the Largest Importer of Arms, the country is yet to claim a significant market share in arms exports

India is the largest importer of major arms in 2013-17 and accounted for 12 per cent of the global arms imports. India’s arms imports increased 24% between 2008-12 and 2013-17, with Russia accounting for62%. In the same period, arms imports from the USA increased by 557%, making it India’s second largest arms supplier.

India also owns the world’s third largest armed forces, and recently overtook the UK as the fifth-largest defence spender in the world in 2017 at $52.5 billion, according to the “Military Balance 2018” report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). Presently, about 60% of defence related requirements of the Indian Armed Forces are met by imports, which offers a huge opportunity for eventual import substitution.

The “Make in India, Make for the World” initiative by izmo is aimed at capitalizing on India’s huge arms trade deficit by manufacturing several categories of high-quality arms, spares, and ammunition which adhere to NATO certification with DODIC numbers.

As of now, izmo has entered into extensive partnerships with Global defence OEMs, to set up the first of the proposed defence manufacturing plants, namely ammunition manufacturing and assault rifles manufacturing.

Manufacturing Friendly Government Policies

In addition to the “Make in India’ initiatives, the 2011 Defence Production Policy of the Government of India encourages indigenous manufacturing of defence equipment, and defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) has been amended in 2016 to encourage indigenous design, development, and manufacture of arms, as well as the transfer of technology.

The Government of India licensing norms has also been liberalized to encourage private participation in defence manufacturing. The initial validity period of industrial licenses has been increased from 3 to 15 years, with a provision to grant an extension for a period of 3 years.

Global Arms, Ammunition, Equipment, and Spares Hub

Apart from strengthening India’s armament sourcing capabilities, the new izmo initiative will help the company to develop its defence manufacturing division into a global hub for arms and equipment procurement.

The first project envisaged primarily for export is the production of military caliber ammunition. The license is expected shortly and commercial production expected to commence in March 2019 in Goa.

Hughes Precision Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd. is collaborating with JSC Concern Kalashnikov, makers of the AK 47 rifle, for a world-class assembly facility for the AK 100 Series rifles/ Carbines and its various modifications under the “Make In India” initiative. JSC Concern Kalashnikov will provide all the relevant technical assistance and advice toset up the facility. A Letter of Intent has been issued on the 20th of February 2018.

Performance on a Consolidated Basis

The Company''s performance on a consolidated basis has shown a significant improvement over the previous year.

The revenues have increased by nearly 30% and more significantly the company has shown a healthy profit vis-a-vis a loss incurred in the previous year. The company has managed to achieve this by increasing revenues substantially whilst simultaneously keeping its expenses under a very tight leash.

The increase in Other Expenses is mainly due to higher marketing spend incurred in promoting the company''s products in the European market. This strategy has reaped good dividends with significant business growth being seen in France and Belgium.

The Company is confident of maintaining its growth trajectory in the current year as well as the order book is quite healthy and pipeline very strong.

Performance

The Company''s sales on a standalone basis has been quite stable and at a similar level to that achieved in the previous year.

The other income has shown a sharp rise primarily on account of the INR declining quite significantly against the US Dollar.

Analysis of Expenses

The direct cost of operations during the year are much lower than that incurred in the previous year. This is due to fall in sales of Enterprise Connectivity software products as a result of sluggishness in the domestic economy.

Other expenses have shown a sharp increase over the previous year. This is primarily due to one-time customer related product development costs being written off during the year. This is a non-recurring item and would not appear in subsequent years.

Depreciation has seen a slight decrease due to lower capital expenditure incurred during the year.

Profitability

The company has declared a loss at the net level as compared to the previous year. This is primarily a result of the sharp increase in other expenses.

However, the company has made a cash profit during the year.

The company expects to return to profitability during the current year as a result of higher sales in the United States, Mexico, India and Europe.

Dividend:

In order to augment the ongoing expansion programmes, the Directors have decided to plough back the profits into the system and regret inability to recommend dividend.

Business Overview Driving Change

Think Cloud, Mobile, Social, Video, CGI, Virtual Reality, Big Data Analytics...

The world over, business IT is in the midst of seismic shifts in technology and user experience, from server farms to the cloud, from big screens to mobile, from silos to social, from largely static experiences to video, CGI and virtual reality, and from informed guesswork to real-time business insights, driven by big data analytics. In the midst of change, gizmo is right at the cutting edge, helping businesses shape the twists and turns of technology into competitive advantage.

15 Minutes is all it takes

Online clinics, restaurants, law firms, yoga studios - you name it.

From beauty salons to barbeques, technology is driving businesses large and small online.

Businesses who have successfully adopted a website into their corporate identity are reaping disproportionately big dividends - in marketing, PR, customer engagement, employee relationships, and more. According to a global study, up to 83% of businesses with a successful online presence are recommending it to others in the industry.

There are about 125 million such micro, small and medium enterprises around the world. At izmo, it is our goal to become the definitive first choice of these businesses as they increasingly choose to go online.

Last year, izmo introduced the new avatar of izmoweb — “Meri Website, Meri Pehchan”, or “My Website, My Identity”, in the U.S and India, targeted at a wide range of businesses and professionals. In the current year we further refined the offering into a ready-to-go package which any business or professional can buy online and deploy in just 15 minutes.

With an astonishing 55% of all small and medium enterprises (SMEs) going without a website in the U.S. alone and only 6% having a mobile friendly website as of 2013, this is a momentous window of opportunity for izmo, because izmo is the only provider to address the #1 reason why SMEs don''t have websites, in spite of the obvious business advantages- lack of effective, well-crafted website content.

Content Ready, Mobile Ready, Ready to Go

izmoweb is truly a one-of-a-kind website product. Everything that businesses or professionals need to drive their businesses or practices online is pre-built into these websites. This includes the website design, detailed content authored by experts, cloud hosting, SEO, online marketing best practices, and even website URLs.

Earlier, businesses had to figure out from whom to buy a domain name, who will design the website, who will write the content, who will do the hosting, who will provide search engine optimization (SEO) and online marketing, who will create business email ids, and so on. A hundred hurdles needed to be crossed before they can have an effective, performing website.

Even businesses who could afford the large budget did not have the expertise to tie all of these together into a viable project and take the website live. As a result, most businesses were stuck with basic, “business card” websites. Many of them lost faith in web marketing altogether, continuing with expensive newspaper or TV advertising for the lack of a better web alternative.

With izmoweb, all that is history. Just 15 minutes is all it takes now to get a fully configured, content driven, mobile-ready business website that shows up high on Google and delivers results.

From Project to Product

To make it easier for customers, izmo virtually reinvented the business website development lifecycle, making it a buy-and-use product like a car or a laptop. The project-to-product transition will now bring hundreds of thousands of businesses who were earlier left out, into the online business space.

Scope of Business

Out of the one billion plus websites currently online, it is estimated that more than 800 million are either dysfunctional or ineffective, and can be replaced with izmoweb. Many of these websites are older generation hard-coded websites that require expert help for even simple content updates, and they do not work well on mobile screens.

In addition, the world wide web is adding one website every second, on average. Up to 95% of these websites have an unresolved bottleneck - timely content updates. izmoweb is also the ideal choice for most of these websites.

INDIA

With 300 plus websites live and a robust sales pipeline, izmoweb is proving to be one of the fastest growing website providers in the business and professional segments, including medical specialties, lawyers, restaurants, beauty salons, makeup artists, physiotherapy, yoga, medical diagnostics, playschools, and more.

With India fast emerging the SME capital of the world, the 48.8 million small and medium enterprises in the country require effective web solutions to reach customers. Over 1.5 million of these SMEs export their products and services, and for all of them a sophisticated mobile-friendly business website is a prerequisite. 95% of the Indian SMEs are also micro enterprises who are unlikely to have a dedicated web marketing team, and would require user friendly business websites to reach their consumers.

The SME sector, which is India''s largest employer, employing 81. 16 million people, is likely to take off at an even faster pace with the “Make in India” initiative of the Central Government.

NORTH AMERICA

USA

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the mainstay of the U.S. economy. They make up 99% of all U.S enterprises. 98% of U.S. exporters are SMEs and they generate 34% of U.S. export revenue. The 25.16 million SMEs in the U.S. also employ half of U.S workforce - over 56.1 million people.

With 88.7% of U.S. Citizens on the Internet, mostly on their mobiles, U S enterprises have really no option but to be where their customers are. However, most SMEs face the perpetual problem of suitable business ready content for their websites, reducing many of these websites to little more than web business cards.

Your company has now launched izmoweb in the U.S. market, and is quickly gaining traction in several verticals.

Mexico

Out of the 4 million plus business enterprises in Mexico, 99.8% are SMEs or “Py MEs” as they are locally known. About 52% of the Mexican GDP is generated by SMEs, who also contribute 72% of employment.

izmo has significant presence in Mexico, where it is the largest provider of automotive dealer websites. We are hopeful of a successful nationwide rollout of izmoweb services in the country, building on our nationwide base in automotive retail.

EUROPE France

With a fast growing client-base in the automotive vertical and an outstanding market reputation as the countries'' largest automotive web provider, izmo is hopeful of a successful rollout of izmoweb in the country. As a first step your company has started providing social marketing services in France.

With an SME sector in excess of 2.4 million businesses, France is an ideal market for the izmoweb brand. 99% of French companies are SMEs, and many of them are currently transitioning from local marketing to web marketing.

OTHER EU NATIONS Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, And Germany

Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Germany have vibrant SME sectors which make up to 99% of their business enterprises. Your company is hopeful of leveraging its existing presence in these countries to roll out izmoweb expeditiously.

AUTOMOTIVE VERTICAL

izmo has continually invested in its global market leadership in the automotive retail space. izmo dealer websites now run on the cloud, are responsive, and come with cutting edge features that make them the first choice of the world''s leading automotive retailers and portals from North America to Europe to Asia.

New products introduced in the automotive retail space include the izmotion video brochure and video platform, izmofx CGI and Virtual Reality Narrations, and Frogdata big data analytics platform.

USA

After a record breaking high of 17,470,659 automobiles sold in 2015, U S auto sales is all set to top out in the region of 17 million vehicles sold this year.

Riding on this sustained market upswing and industry push for new online sales avenues, the multi-media division of izmo was able to make considerable progress in the market with the launch of two new products - izmotion video brochures and video sales platform, and izmofx CGI and Virtual Reality narrations.

Even as we continue to acquire and engage top-tier clients like GM, Microsoft, Toyota Motor Sales, Mitsubishi, USA123, ADS, AOL, Autonation, Autopoint, Autotrader, Dataone, Hendricks, DEP, DME, Dominion, Evolio, Gomoto, HGM, Jato, JDPA, Jetpack, Kukui, NEWS, SIM, Stickout, and Vincentric in the imagery and data categories, we continue to retain clients such as Kuhio Auto Group in the online solutions space.

In the online marketing space, izmo is now testing a new online marketing suite called the “Escape the Bear” package, as well as introducing new high-performance social marketing concepts. Frogdata, the industry-first big data analytics program of izmo was also introduced in the market this year.

With the combined market push of new products and new avatars of existing market-leading products, we expect to see ground breaking progress in the USA in the coming years.

Mexico

izmo continues to be the largest dealer website service provider in Mexico, and the only retail website provider for Nissan Mexico, the largest Automotive OEM in the country with a 24.8% market share.

Mexico''s auto market expanded 20% in 2015, and the

country is all set to repeat it''s automotive sales performance in 2016 too.

izmo continues to be the largest dealer website service provider in Mexico, and the only retail website provider for Nissan Mexico, the largest Automotive OEM in the country with a 24.8% market share.

izmo dealer websites and portals also drive the sales of Honda, Infinity, Renault, Chrysler, and Suzuki vehicles, as well as used cars.

The izmo client portfolio in Mexico now includes 45 prominent retail groups including Autocom, Andanac, Autosur, and GA3.

European Union

Sales rose 8.3% in Germany, 0.8 % in France despite terror strikes, 12% in Italy, and 11% in Spain. In the U K, however sales contracted marginally by 0.8%.

Perfomance

The Company''s sales have shown a slight drop as compared to the previous year. This is mainly on account of the slowdown in the domestic market due to which sales of Enterprise Connectivity products have fallen as compared to the previous year. Most companies have cut back on their capital expansion programs due to tight liquidity situation in the domestic economy. As a result of this, domestic sales have been affected.

The other income has shown a sharp fall primarily on account of the INR remaining quite stable against the US Dollar.

Analysis of Expenses

The direct cost of operations in FY 13-14 are significantly lower than FY 12-13. This is primarily on account of the lower sales of Enterprise Connectivity product.

The company has reduced its employee headcount substantially in FY 13-14 as compared to the previous year. This has resulted in the sharply lower employee costs for the company. The company is continuing to reduce its employee strength by increasing productivity within the company.

Financial costs have increased slightly as compared to the previous year. This is on account of an increase in interest rates charged by the bank on the company''s working capital limits. However, this should reduce substantially in the current year.

Other expenses have shown a slight increase over the previous year. This is due to inflationary cost increases in areas such as rent, electricity charges and other overheads. The company is trying its best to control costs in every area to the maximum extent possible.

Profitability

The overall profitability of the company has reduced as compared to the previous year. This is mainly on account of the significant increase in depreciation charges. The company has purchased substantial IP assets which are essential for future new product development and current product enhancements. The company had been deferring this purchase for the last 2-3 years due to the tight liquidity situation. Since that has considerably eased out in the current year, the company has been able to purchase these critical software IPs.

The company expects the profitability to further improve in the current year as a result of its European operations becoming profitable for the 1st time since inception. The turnover of the European operations in the 1st quarter of the current year has already crossed last full year''s turnover.

The company''s focus on growing its content sales business is also paying off. The Company has the world''s largest database of automobile pictures and animations covering car models from USA, Mexico, Continental Europe and India. The Company is adding Brazil and China automobile models to its content database.

The company is the only supplier of images to the world''s leading portals like Yahoo, AOL and MSN. It is the only company in the world having such extensive model coverage.

Business Overview North America USA

Its show-time again at the world''s largest automotive market.

The U.S automotive industry shifted into top gear in 2013, generating $730 billion in business revenue and employing more than 1 million people in their local communities.

In 2013, U. S automotive dealerships sold or leased more than 15.5 million new cars and light trucks, up 7.5 % from the year before, along with 3,51,737 new medium and heavy-duty trucks, up 1.7%. Total dealership revenue crossed $730 billion, an 8.8% increase from the previous year. For the average dealership, new-car sales were up 10.5% and used-car sales, up 7.3%.

With a stronger housing market, improved job prospects and continued low interest rates to bolster auto sales further, NADA expects new car and light-truck sales to reach 16.4 million in 2014.

However, the gross margin on new-vehicle sales continued downward, falling to 3.8 % in 2013 from 4.2 % the previous year. Revenue from F&I, service contracts and other products accounted for 38.8% of gross profit, up from 36.9 % the previous year, nudging dealers towards web marketing, CRM and Service management solutions that help optimize resources as well as tap into other sources of revenue.

Even as izmo continues to serve US dealers with Automotive Websites, SEO and Social Marketing, CRM, Service Management and Email Marketing Services the time is now ideal to re-launch the izmo suite of products in the U S markets and negotiations are at an advanced stage with prospective channel partners.

Being the first mover in Mexico has paid rich dividends for izmo. Our company continues to be the only retail website provider for Nissan Mexico, the largest Automotive OEM in the country with a 24.8% market share. Izmo dealer websites and portals also drive the sales of Renault, Volkswagen, Chrysler Ram Dodge Jeep and Suzuki vehicles as well as used cars.

Directors'' Report

European Union

The downward trend in EU car sales during 2013, with sales dropping to 11.80 million new cars, about 200,000 fewer than in 2012, proved to be a powerful catalyst driving dealers in large numbers to adopt online marketing solutions that not only reduce costs but deliver measurable results.

The izmo solution suite for EU auto dealers include "Virtual Showroom" Websites, Online Marketing and Social Media, Automotive CRM and ILM, Accessories, Service Management and Dealership Performance Consulting, as well as image processing services.

Sales is finally picking up in the first months of 2014, but dealers are still coping with diminishing profits from new vehicle sales.

On average, U S dealerships spent 33% of their advertising dollars on the Internet in 2013, up from 26.5% last year. The change was primarily driven by the cost-efficiency of websites and online marketing, the high cost of traditional advertising, as well as OEM initiatives to take dealerships online.

In the same period, dealers spent only 15.5% on newspaper advertisements, a drop of 30%. Radio advertising fell to 14.5%, from 15.9% and television advertising increased marginally to 20.8%, from 20.2%.(Source: NADA Statistics)

As a result of web centric advertising and marketing, average ad expense per new-vehicle sold fell to $616, down 0.8%. The increased efficiency of web based advertising resulted in dealers spending even more on advertising and dealership advertising increased 6.1% to $7.6 billion.

Performance:

The Company''s sales have shown a slight drop as compared to the previous year. This is mainly on account of the slowdown in the domestic market due to which sales of Enterprise Connectivity Products have fallen as compared to the previous year. Most companies have cut back on their capital expansion programs due to tight liquidity situation in the domestic economy. As a result of this, domestic sales have been affected.

The other income has shown an increase primarily on account of the foreign exchange gains accruing on account of the fall in INR. Since 90% of the company''s income is derived from exports, the continued depreciation in the INR is positive for the company.

Analysis of Expenses:

The direct cost of operations in FY 12-13 are significantly lower than FY 11-12. This is primarily on account of the lower sales of Enterprise Connectivity Products.

The company has reduced its employee headcount substantially in FY 12-13 as compared to the previous year. This has resulted in the sharply lower employee costs for the company. The company is continuing to reduce its employee strength by increasing productivity within the company.

Financial costs have nearly halved as compared to the previous year. This is on account of better working capital management and improvement in the receivables cycle. This should reduce further in the current year. Other expenses have also fallen by 10% over the previous year. This is a healthy trend and as the company keeps the focus on cost reduction, this will continue to show a declining trend.

Profitability:

The company''s Profit Before Tax and exceptional items has recorded an increase of more than 200% over the previous year. The Company has written back unrecovered interest of Rs. 2.30 crores as a matter of abundant caution. A one-time rebate on exports has been given to the company''s US subsidiary due to the precarious state of the economy in the US and EU regions.

The Company''s Profit After-tax has increased by more than 160% over the previous year. This has been achieved despite the company''s major markets US and Europe facing severe headwinds on the economic front. The company hopes to improve the performance further in the current year.

Business Overview:

A ComScore report on the online performance of Mexican Automotive brands says it all. Among the top five most visited automotive brands, Nissan came first with a growth of 150%, which is about 10 times more than the other top 5 brands in the list.

What the ComScore report did not mention was the fact that Nissan''s online growth was driven entirely by izmocars, which powers 155 Nissan dealer websites in Mexico. With 206 automotive dealer websites in various production stages, izmocars is the leader in the Mexican market.

Back in the United States, Add On Auto, the virtual Accessories Company of izmocars and the #1 accessories sales solution in the country, was signed up by 3M and BESTBUY, both Fortune 500 companies, to provide virtual selling solutions, marking izmo''s entry into the big ticket aftermarket accessories space. The company has already tied up with Nissan and Toyota to provide interactive accessories marketing, as well as directly providing dealers the AOA virtual accessories sales solution that helps sell millions of dollars worth of accessories every year.

In the Automotive imagery and interactive marketing space, izmocars continued serving AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, GM, Toyota, and Mitsubishi Motors, as well as US News, JATO, Data One, DME, Evolio, Auto 123, Auction 123, Automations, HighGear Media, ADS, Dealer process, Vincentia, Go Moto, Auto Bytel, Source Interlink, CostCo, American Family, JDPA, Image span, SnapSort, Mojo, AutoNet, KUKUI, Car qualifier (Autobid), Media One Utah, and App Soft Development.

v* In France, izmoEurope went live with 30 automotive websites for the Lamerault Group, 19 websites for the Metin Group, and 4 websites for the Kayser Group. With more than a 100 websites in the making for another prominent European auto dealer chain, izmoEurope is the fastest growing Online Solution Provider in the French market, with a brand portfolio including Audi, Citroen, Dacia, FIAT, KIA, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Suzuki, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

With North American markets well on their way to pre-2007 sales levels and Western European markets showing clear signs of recovery, izmocars is well positioned to capitalize on the emerging opportunities in both continents.

USA:

Leaving a torturous half-decade of depressed sales and struggling dealerships behind, US Automotive retail has finally arrived, and is all set to close the year in the vicinity of 16 million vehicle sales. The industry''s sales pace for July is on track for its best year since 2007, when 16.1 million vehicles were sold. An encouraging trend about the recovery is that it rides on true innovation, and not incentives, according to J.D. Power and Associates. During the first six months of the year, prices on new vehicles rose 3%, as a result of new and exciting vehicles entering the market. True to the trend, OEMs are now disinclined to offer lavish incentives that hurt resale values.

In July alone, the US automotive industry sold 6,57,404 cars, an increase of 12.6% over the same month last year. GM deliveries rose 16% in July, with all four of its brands advancing. Honda sales increased 21% and Toyota sales by 17%, overtaking Ford Motor Co. for the third place in vehicle sales. Light vehicle sales for Ford, Chrysler, and Nissan gained 11%.

Light-duty truck sales, including SUVs and Crossovers, stood at 6,57,790, an increase of 15.4% over July 2012.

Traditionally, Trucks and SUVs are the most accessorized vehicles in the US and the sales surge in these categories is expected to drive demand for Add On Auto, the market leader in interactive accessories sales.

Results Driven Growth at Dealerships:

The sustained growth of automotive sales was reflected in dealerships as well. There was a net increase of 95 dealerships in 2012, bringing the total to 17,635 dealerships, according to NADA State of the Industry Report 2013. On Average, dollar sales increased 9.5%, and 2 employees were added to the workforce at dealerships.

With the automotive industry driving in top gear and taking the lead in pulling USA out of recession, the present growth in the number of dealerships is expected to go up significantly by the end of the year.

Again, new vehicle net profit rose to $111 from $23 in 2011. For the average dealer, dealership revenue grew by 9.20% and new-vehicle revenue by 12.80% in 2012. The new-vehicle department profitability as a percentage of gross profit increased to 30.40% from 28.80% in 2011 and the used-vehicle department profitability as a percentage of gross profit rose to 25.60 % from 25.40 % in 2011. The share of gross profit held by the service and parts department fell to 44 % from 45.80 % in 2011, but the share held by F&I and service contracts rose to 36.90 % from 33.80 % in 2011.

Dealers are now keeping a tight leash on expenses, spending money only in areas that deliver measurable results and pruning down drastically in areas where returns are sluggish or cannot be effectively measured. Dealer advertising is a case-in-point.

* New-vehicle dealers spent nearly $7.2 billion on advertising in 2012, up from $6.4 billion in 2011. However, the average ad expense per new vehicle sold fell to $621, down 1.10% from 2011. Dealer budgets for newspapers dropped by nearly 30 percentage points over the last decade, with the average dealership spent 26.50% of advertising dollars on Internet ads, up from 24.80% in 2011. Radio had a 15.90% share, which is the same as 2011, while television increased slightly to 20.20% from 20.10%.

The shift in industry outlook from "sales at any cost" to revenue and profit focused operations have opened up tremendous opportunities for online solution providers like izmocars, to lead with innovative solutions that will drive workforce productivity, customer centric dealer operations increasingly driven by online customer interactions, and revenue diversification focused on optimizing profit per car sale, by adding value in terms of accessories, service, parts and insurance, and customer references.

Take profit diversification, for instance. Dealerships across the country are prioritizing on adding value to new car sales, since new car margins are wafer thin.

Enter accessories, which is a huge profit multiplier in dealerships which are equipped and trained to sell accessories. The 150 dealerships across the country who participated in the Add On Auto Trend Report 2013 study sold $56 million in accessories in 2012. Using the AOA Virtual Accessories Con fugarator, these dealers sold more than 50% of the customers who were presented with accessories. Profits were astounding: with gross profits averaging 48.40%.

Increasingly, a larger share of revenues and profit are also coming from service, body shop, long term customer relationship cycles, and referrals.

Customer Centric Business Innovation:

Connected and empowered customers continued to drive US auto retail, with more than 85% of prospective buyers researching cars on the Internet and more than 80% going on Facebook before stepping into a dealership.

Registrations of new cars in Europe rose 4.80 % compared to the same month a year ago to 1.02 million vehicles, according to data published by that German Auto Industry Association VDA. Passenger car registrations increased in Germany, UK, France and Spain lar month.

Sales in Germany, the region''s biggest economy, were up 2%.

UK registrations increased by 13% and industry association SMMT raised its forecast for the full year, predicting growth of 8% to 2.22 million vehicles instead of the 3% increase foreseen earlier. UK sales have risen by 10% in the first seven month'', helped by 0% financing and price discounts. Demand in the UK continued to expand because of improvements in both private and fleet sales in July.

French car sales rose 1 %, the first increase in almost two years, as new models and dealer discounts attracted customers. G)r sales in Spain rose 15%, supported by a government-backed scrappage program. On the other hand, Italian car sales fell by 2%, which is the smallest contraction in almost two years.

The sustained downtrend in the market has resulted in web focused business restructuring in dealerships across Western Europe, with traditional marketing practices giving way to a more efficient web-centric, customer-focused sales and business retention strategy.

As a result, izmoEurope, the European subsidiary of your company, was able to achieve a breakthrough in France. Lamirault, a prominent dealer group in France is now powered by izmoEurope, with 30 websites currently live. Izmo is serving the Metin group with 19 websites, and the Kayser Group with 4 websites. More than a 100 dealer websites are now in various . stages of design and production for another prominent automotive group in France. izmoEurope is already powering a premium Aston Martin dealership in Belgium, and negotiations are in advanced stages with several OEMs.

Indian Automotive Industry at the crossroads:

For the first time in the last 12 years, the Indian auto industry registered a domestic sales slide of 8% in July, and the twowheeler market remained more or less flat. Fluctuating fuel prices and high interest rates remain huge impediments to fast-paced growth in retail auto sales.

Market leader Maruti Suzuki managed to sell 83,299 vehicles in July, registering a growth of 1.3% over July 2012. I ivundai Motor India Limited, the country''s second largest car manufacturer and the largest passenger car exporter :;old 48,704 vehicles in the same month, a marginal decrease over the 52,845 vehicles sold during the same month last year. Mahindra &Mahindra registered a sales volume of37,096 vehicles, a drop of over 21.17%.

Market Opportunity and Growth Strategy:

USA ''

The Total dollar sales at US new-car dealerships increased by 9.20% in 2012, the third full year of post-recession growth. New car sales showed a 12.80% increase in revenue, while used car sales registered a 7.10% increase in revenue, a 1.60% increase in transaction prices, and a 12% gross margin on retail used-car selling prices.

Online, Connected and Networked:

The average dealer in the US is now enthusiastic about online sales and dealer operations, thanks largely to the high cost of traditional advertising as well as OEM initiatives to take dealerships online. New-vehicle dealers spent nearly $7.2 billion on advertising in 2012, up from $6.4 billion in 2011. In 2012, the average dealership spent 26.50% of advertising budgets on online advertising and promotions, up from 24.80% in 2011.

As a result of restructured advertising expenses, the average ad expense per new vehicle sold fell to $621, down 1.10%

1 from 2011. It is not a coincidence that in the past 10 years, dealer budgets for newspapers have dropped by 30%.

Even as dealers are scrambling to drive revenue and profits from multiple sources, solutions like AOA, the izmocars accessories sales solution, is seeing exponential growth, and we expect this trend to further gain steam, with dealer consolidation demanding enterprise capabilities, something which our competitors lack to a great extent.

With an average internet advertising spend to the tune of $90,106 per dealer, this represents an annual market opportunity of approximately US $ 1,589,019,310 in recurring high margin revenue.

PERFORMANCE

The performance for the year has been greatly impacted by the recession in the United States, the Companys major market.

While sales of Enterprise Connectivity Solutions exhibited a 5% increase over FY 2008-09, international sales of izmocars products recorded a drop of approximately 2.28% as compared to FY 2008-09. Income from the Indian portal Carazoo showed an impressive jump of 59% in 2009-10 as compared to the previous year.

Sales in Europe was 45,676 Euros in FY 2009-10. The European studio was commissioned in April 2009 and the creation of the European catalogue has taken nearly a year. We could begin monetization of the European catalogue only by November, 2009.

Your Company faced very challenging headwinds in FY 2009-10 due to its largest market falling deeper into recession. The US Automotive market had its worst year since 1997, selling only 10.70 million cars in 2009. The number of car dealerships also saw a sharp fall from 24,000 + in 2008 to around 18,000 by the end of 2009. This sharp drop in the number of auto dealerships is unprecedented in US history.

As a result of the above, FY 2009-10 saw the Companys customer base shrinking further to 600 customers by March 2010. Your Company had 1,100 customers at the end of December 2007. This translates into an erosion of nearly 40% in its customer base.

The US economy is recovering, albeit very slowly. Your Directors expect GDP growth to be approximately 2.5% in 2010. However, the sales of automobiles has picked up in the United States. Most of the large automotive manufacturers are reporting profits as they have reduced costs significantly and sales have picked up. Therefore, the current FY 2010-11 should see a significant improvement in the companys customer base.

Analysis of Expenses

Operating expenses (other than provision for bad debts) have risen by 5-80% over last year. This has been led by an increase of 4.66% in employee costs over the previous year.

There has been a 28.29% increase in administrative expenses. Compensating this to some extent has been a reduction in selling expenses over the previous year by nearly 45%. Financial expenses have fallen by 6.93% over the last year.

The Company has made a provision of Rs. 75.97 lakhs towards reduction in value of investments. This figure is much lower than the previous year. This indicates that the valuation of the companys investments has increased substantially in FY 2009-10.

Profitability

The profitability of the Company has been significantly impacted in FY 2009-10. The drop in top line could not be compensated by a corresponding decrease in total expenses. As a result, the profit before tax has fallen by nearly 20% as compared to the previous year. Your company has made a tax provision of approximately Rs. 30 lakhs. This has caused the profit after tax to be around 35% less than the previous year.

Your company expects the declining trend to reverse in the current year. Costs have been reduced in India, the US and even Europe to a large extent, the impact of which would be felt in the current year. Sales are also on an uptrend and we expect to close this year with atleast a 30-40% increase over FY 2009-10.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW of the US Automotive Industry

In U.S. automotive retail, the silver lining is now turning into the daylight of opportunity. The "Detroit Big 3" - GM, Ford, and Chrysler - are reporting increased sales, and the JD Power forecast is presently pegging sales for the current year to reach 11.6 million vehicles, up from 10.4 million vehicles sold in 2009.

For GM, last July was the 10th straight month of rising sales. Sales of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac have risen 31%. The 1.3 billion dollar second quarter profit of the company was its best in the last 6 years, and GM has repaid its $6.7 billion loan to the U.S. government five years ahead of schedule. Prospects are looking so good that within less than a year after emerging from chapter-11 protection, GM is all set to go public again with the biggest IPO in U.S. automotive history.

At Ford, July sales totaled 170,411 units, up 22.6% against the same month last year. So far in 2010, Fords sales are up by a robust 22.6%. Demand for the Ford Mustang in the performance segment rose by 43%, while Ford Taurus sales rose by 187%. The company also reported that its retail market share increased for the 21st time in the last 22 months.

Chrysler marked the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases, moving 93,313 vehicles, an increase of 5%. 13 Chrysler Group vehicle lines showed improved sales. The company produced an operating profit in the first quarter of 2010, for the first time since the economic crisis.

Nissan North America reported July sales of 82,337, up 14.6%, with the Nissan division rising 12.1% and Infiniti soaring 37.6%. Toyota sold 169,224 vehicles and Honda 112,437 vehicles in July, both reporting decline in sales.

Not Business as Usual

Overall, the recovery of the U.S. automotive sector has been faster than expected, but everyone, from the OEM leadership to dealers to investors, agree that business is not going to be the same again.

Intense competition and cost-optimization is now forcing dealers to diversify revenue channels. Dealers are no longer looking at traditional sales avenues alone to shore up bottom-lines. As a result, accessories and service are now top- priorities for automotive dealers.

The fact that AddOnAuto (AOA), the Accessories Sales Solution of izmocars, added 50 dealerships in less than 90 days speaks volumes about the importance that dealers now attach to profit diversification.

The new diversification strategy is paying rich dividends to the early adopters. Before implementing AOA, Rick Case Honda was selling about $40,000 worth of accessories every month. In July, the dealership sold $159,117 worth of accessories, earning $646.82 on average from every vehicle sold. Morans Acton Toyota sold $125,000 worth of accessories within 2 months of implementing the solution, and is now sustaining the sales trend for over a year.

Car dealers are also exploring multi-brand vehicle service as a lucrative profit channel and customer acquisition strategy. With sophisticated service and diagnostic tools cutting down service time to less than half or less, most dealers have the extra capacity to accommodate other brands. Since 70% of service time is consumed by basic maintenance of tires, brakes, batteries and hoses, multi-brand service does not pose insurmountable technology challenges to most dealers, izmocars is also poised for an entry in this lucrative segment with iService, the only comprehensive service management tool available in the U.S.

Dealers, often motivated and subsidized by OEMs, are also investing in technology and training to acquire, retain, and leverage customers. Most dealerships are implementing Customer Relationship Management Solutions or Lead Manage- ment Solutions.

The U.S Energy department alternate energy initiative and funding to the tune of $8 billion to automotive manufacturers and suppliers to build electric and hybrid vehicle batteries is expected to impact the automotive industry in the near future, further fueling the technology orientation at the retail end, as well as in Manufacturer — Dealer linkages.

Logix: The Innovation Edge

Vision 2012: $50 million in the year 2012 Market Opportunity and Growth Strategy

U.S.A

The 18, 460 new-car dealerships doing business in the U.S generated $487 billion in annual sales last year, selling $10.4 million new vehicles; nearly $ 15 million used vehicles, and generating $76 billion in parts and service, states the NADA State-of-the Industry Report 2010. Car dealerships remain one of the biggest employment avenues in the U.S., with nearly a million people in their payrolls.

The economic downturn triggered a shift in the advertising and marketing spend of dealers, valued at $5.4 billion in 2009. Dealers now spend more than 22 percent of advertising dollars on the Web. The early adopters among dealers are now moving into the social media space, triggering demand for social media centric online marketing solutions and CRM systems that can tap into social media audiences.

With reduced margins on new car sales eating into bottom-line profits, dealers are increasingly turning to cost- optimization, customer retention, and alternate revenue sources like accessories and online service management to stay profitable.

The complexity of the online portfolio of the typical U.S. car dealer presents a unique market opportunity for izmocars, which is the only online solutions provider who can equip dealers with the entire range of services required to run a profitable dealership. These services include high-converting, instantly editable interactive websites, social media friendly online marketing, dealer CRM and ILM systems with data mining capabilities and social media plug-ins, virtual accesso- ries systems that add six figure monthly incomes to dealer bottom-lines, online vehicle service scheduling and manage- ment systems that encourage customer self-service and at the same time, optimize shop-floor loading and manpower scheduling to get more done with less, and a dealer performance consulting system that ties it all together to create a highly profitable, customer-retaining, future-friendly dealership.

This vision of izmocars — the full service digital dealership, is now finally a reality whose time has come. Even now, solutions like AOA, the izmocars accessories sales solution, is seeing exponential growth, and we expect this trend to pick up, with dealers increasingly breaking free from disparate providers of stand-alone services.

With an average monthly spend for digital services to the tune of $30,000 per dealer, this represents an annual market opportunity of approximately US $ 553.8 million in recurring high margin revenue.

In addition to new car dealerships, there are approximately 40,000 used car dealerships in the U.S. with potential applica- tions for the Companys offering. Combined, this represents a total annual market opportunity in excess of US$1 billion.

European Union

Your directors are proud to report that within an year of commencing operations with a state-of-the art photography studio in Brussels, izmocars Europe BVBA has been able to expand its client-base to include Aston Martin, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Renault, Huyndai, and Chevrolet Europe in the OEM segment, as well as Euro RSCG and Rabitt/Striker, Mantree, 1 lho9, Dieteren, Lites, And Mein auto. Services now being offered include studio services, custom photogra- phy, automotive websites, and izmoToolkit.

The studio is the first stage of our expansion into Europe, and the full izmocars solutions suite will be launched shortly in the European market, which is a lucrative market for Online Automotive Sales Solutions.

The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) pegs new car registrations in June 2010 at 1,341,092 vehicles. January to June, 7,285,487 new cars were registered, or 0.2% more than over the same period a year ago. Among the main markets, the UK (+19.90%), Italy (+2.90%), France (+5.40%), and Spain (+39.50%) posted growth.

Dealer adoption of online selling is still at a nascent stage in the EU, and we are confident of pioneering the online retail drive in the market.

Carazoo

Carazoo, the Indian portal and Automotive Solutions Provider of Logix Microsystems Limited, has achieved impressive growth in the last fiscal and is one of the most popular automobile portals in India. Visitors have crossed the 4,00,000 per month mark, a jump of over 200 % over the last year. Leads generated per month have increased to around 21,000 which is a jump of 50 %. The Carazoo portal completed 3 years in August 2010.

Tie-ups with HDFC Bank for loans and other vendors for used cars have enabled Carazoo to offer value-added services to its visitors.

Carazoo.com is Indias only Car portal that provides a multi-brand online showroom experience to prospective car buyers. Visitors can request to test drive any car and also get car dealers to chase their business. Carazoo was the first to introduce the concept of online showrooms for car dealers in India. Continuing its success with the initial car dealer online show- rooms, it has now designed and developed more online showrooms for leading dealers, and had recently crossed the 50 store mark. Some of these Carazoo-powered online showrooms are: Bimal Auto, Sagar Auto, Kataria Automobiles, Fortpoint Automotive, Trident Automotive Group, and Shaman Auto Group.

Carazoo is also offering online marketing solutions to auto dealers. Google recently acknowledged the online advertising prowess of Carazoo in a case-study.

Carazoo also developed www.arababul.com, Turkeys first car portal with interactive animations for a client in Istanbul, Turkey.

Growth Paths

With the U.S. consumer demand for new cars steadily increasing in the second-half of 2009 and into the current year, dealer profitability is up by more than 43.7 percent, resulting in more spend on innovative marketing solutions and platforms. Consequently, izmocars saw rapid growth in segments like accessories sales.

As discussed earlier in this report, the complexity of the digital portfolio of a typical dealer now makes it imperative for dealers to move from disparate providers of various stand alone services to integrated service offerings. Izmocars expects rapid growth as a full-service provider of the entire digital portfolio of dealers, once the trend to move towards integrated solutions pick up pace.

Lateral growth into other high- potential markets like Europe and Asia would also fuel exponential growth for izmocars, since all of izmocars solutions can be adopted across geographies.

The India advantage of high-end support services at a relatively modest cost is another factor that greatly supports the organic growth of the company. Unlike other players, the India component is not merely another cost-cutting factor for izmocars — it is integral to the very corporate structure of the company, built into its corporate DNA.

Growth Strategies

In the near term, izmocars aims to consolidate market position and thought leadership as the only end-to-end Automotive e-Solutions Provider in US automotive retail, capable of providing the entire range of digital services now required to run a profitable dealership, ranging from dealer websites, mobile websites and portals to online marketing, social media connected CRM and ILM systems, accessories sales, service management, integrated telephony, and dealer performance consulting.

Izmocars is also well-positioned as the innovation leader of the Industry, providing solutions like AddOnAuto, an accesso- ries sales solution which is now being rapidly adopted by dealers.

The company is also consolidating its market leadership in the OEM space for high-end imaging, automotive animation, and web solutions by expanding its OEM portfolio to include the full izmo solutions suite, and adding more OEMs to the current list of GM, Ford, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Aston Martin, Renault, and Hyundai.
