Management Discussions & Analysis Report
Macro Economic Environment
The global economic outlook deteriorated sharply over the last year or so with all the advanced economies – the
United States, Europe and Japan - having firmly gone into recession.
India too has been impacted by the crisis. There is clear evidence of economic activity slowing down i.e. demand for
the goods dampened, GDP growth has declined, the services sector is slowing, exports have declined, the demand
for bank credit is slackening despite comfortable liquidity in the system etc. Despite the adverse situation prevailing
in the world, the Indian economy has sustained and looks to come out of the situation faster than the world. India’s
financial markets have shown admirable resilience notwithstanding the severity and multiplicity of global events, as
India’s financial system is healthy, well capitalized and prudently regulated. As a large majority of Indians do not
participate in equity and asset market, the negative impact of the wealth loss effect plaguing the advanced economies
should be quite muted. India’s consumption demand is expected to hold up well.
The current situation prevailing in India and world has its effect on Indian Financial Sector and Non-Banking Financial
Companies in particular. NBFCs which depended heavily on money markets for funding requirements were impacted
due to freezing of credit facilities. However, various measures taken by the Government should ease the financing
constraints of NBFCs.
Opportunities
Domestic consumption continues to drive growth. India is expected to be least impacted due to the global slowdown
due to its diverse economic base and favourable demographics. The Company has focused on direct to consumer
lending, innovative structuring of credit solutions, strong processes and prudent risk management. The company
follows a micro market approach to geographic segmentation of markets.
The company plans to expand its product portfolio by adding General Insurance services and Investment / Savings
Products such as sale of Mutual funds to its portfolio.
Threats
Irrational pricing, lenient credit norms in the past have led to increase in Non-performing assets across the retail
lending space.
The markets will continue to mature leading to rising expectation from consumers and your Company’s growth will
depend on its ability to differentiate its products / services to compete effectively.
Growth of the company’s asset book, quality of assets and ability to raise funds depends significantly on the
economy. Unfavourable events in the Indian economy can affect consumer sentiment. Changes in Government
policy, regulatory framework could impact the company’s operations.
Operations
Retail lending, besides individuals, also addresses requirements of businesses whose borrowing needs are akin to
individual borrowers. Thus, requirements of small and micro enterprises that are too small to be serviced by corporate
Lending Institutions are also well serviced by Retail Lenders.
The segments being addressed are typically underserviced by the larger commercial banks thus creating a profitable
niche for the Company to address.
l Loans – The Company offers a range of Loans in the Unsecured and Secured Loans space that fulfill the
financial needs of its target Segment.
l Insurance Services – The Company is a corporate agent for HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited.
The Company sells Insurance bundled with its Loan as a value-add as well as a standalone product.
6
Management Discussions & Analysis Report
l Collection Services – The Company has a contract with HDFC Bank for collection services. The Company has
set up call centres across the country with a capacity of over 990 seats to meet current business requirements.
Infrastructure
The Company has established branches across various locations, thus creating the right distribution network to sell
company’s Products and Services. The Company has six collection centre and has established Data Centre at
Bangalore and centralized operations at Hyderabad.
In the opinion of the Management, the Company has adequate systems and procedures to provide assurance of
recording transactions in all material respects.
The Company has appointed M/s K S Aiyar & Co., Chartered Accountants, to conduct an internal audit and such
audit reports envisages all areas and the reports were placed before the Audit Committee of the Board.
Outlook
Despite the global economic uncertainties, India continues to be a strong growth story due to favorable demographics,
Innovative culture and strong Institutions.
The markets will continue to grow and mature leading to differentiation of products and services. Each financial
intermediary will have to find his niche in order to add value to consumers. The company continues to be optimistic
in its outlook for the year 2009-10.

India. The company follows the accrual method of accounting, except where otherwise stated and the historical
cost convention.
3. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered
in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported income and expense for the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could
differ from these estimates.
4. Significant Accounting Policies:
i. Advances
Advances are classified as performing and non-performing based on the Reserve Bank of India guidelines.
Interest on non-performing advances is transferred to an interest in suspense account and not recognized
in the profit and loss account until received. Advances are net of provision on debts and interest in
suspense.
ii. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes cost of purchase and all
expenditure like site preparation, installation costs and professional fees incurred on the asset before it
is ready to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is capitalized only when it
increases the future benefit/ functioning capability from/of such assets.
Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful life of the fixed asset on a straight-line basis. The
rates of depreciation for certain key fixed assets used in arriving at the charge for the year are:
• Improvements to lease hold premises are charged off over the primary period of lease.
• Office equipment at 16.21% per annum.
• Computers at 16.21% per annum.
• Software and System development expenditure at 20.00% per annum.
• Items costing less than Rs 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
• All other assets are depreciated as per the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act,
1956.
For assets purchased and sold during the year, depreciation is being provided on pro rata basis by the
Company.
iii. Impairment of Assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may
be impaired. Impairment loss, if any, is provided in the profit and loss account to the extent the carrying
amount of assets exceeds their estimated recoverable amount.
19
Schedules to the Accounts as at March 31, 2009
iv. Investments
Investments which are long term in nature are stated at cost. Provisions are made only in case of
permanent diminution in the value of Investment.
Current investments are valued at lower of cost and Net Realisable Value.
v. Employee Benefits
a) Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity to all employees. The benefit is in the form of lump sum
payments to vested employees on resignation, retirement, on death while in employment or on
termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each
completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company
makes annual contributions to funds administered by trustees and managed by insurance
companies for amounts notified by the said insurance companies. The Company accounts for
the liability for future gratuity benefits based on an independent external actuarial valuation carried
out annually as at the balance sheet date.
b) Provident fund
In accordance with law, all employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the
provident fund. The Company contributes an amount, on a monthly basis, at a determined rate
(currently 12% of employee’s basic salary). Of this, the Company contributes an amount
(employee’s basic salary upto a maximum level of Rs 6,500/- per month) to the Pension Scheme
administered by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC) and the Company has no
liability for future provident fund benefits other than its annual contribution.
c) Compensated Absences
The Company does not have a policy of encashing unavailed leave for its employees. The Company
provides for compensated absences in accordance with AS 15 (revised 2005) Employee Benefits.
The provision is based on an independent external actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date.
vi. Lease accounting
Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognized in the profit and loss account over
the lease term in accordance with the (AS) 19, Leases, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India.
vii. Income Recognition
• Interest income is recognized in the profit or loss account on an accrual basis. Income including
interest / discount or any other charges on Non-Performing Assets (NPA) is recognized only
when it is realized. Any such income recognized before the asset became non-performing and
remaining unrealized is reversed.
• Fee based income and other financial charges are recognized on an accrual basis.
viii. Income tax
Income tax comprises the current tax provision, the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability in
the year and fringe benefit tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the future tax
consequences of timing differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases, and operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that there is reasonable / virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the timing differences
are expected to be received, settled or reversed. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognised in the income statement in the period of enactment of the change.

Schedules to the Accounts as at March 31, 2009
ix. Earnings per share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per equity share in accordance with (AS) 20, Earnings
Per Share issued, by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Basic earnings per equity share
have been computed by dividing net Profit/Loss by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share have been computed using the weighted
average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the period
except where the results are anti dilutive.
x. Accounting for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
As per (AS) 29, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India, the Company recognises provisions only when it has a present obligation
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be
made.
No provision is recognized for –
a) Any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed
only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company; or
b) Any present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because –
1 It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation; or
2 A reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.
Such obligations are recorded as Contingent Liabilities Provisions are determined based on management
estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, supplemented by experience of
similar transactions. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current
management estimates. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss on the
contingency is reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure
is made in the financial statements.
Contingent Assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition
of income that may never be realized.
xi. Preliminary Expenses/Share issue expenses:
Expenses incurred in connection with Company incorporation are classified as Preliminary Expenses
and are charged off in the year in which it is incurred. Share issue expenses are also grouped under this
head.
xii. Interest on borrowings:
Interest on borrowings is recognized in profit and loss account on an accrual basis.
