 * 1. The financial accounts for 2010-11 have been prepared after
 giving effect to the Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and
 Future Capital Financial Services Limited (FCFS) as approved by the
 Hon''ble High Court of judicature at Bombay, inter alia providing for
 amalgamation of FCFS into the Company and hence, are not comparable
 with that of 2009 -10.
 
 * 2. The financial accounts of the current year are also not
 comparable with the previous year as the investment advisory services
 business and income and costs thereof have been realigned and the
 current year''s performance is based on the income and costs related to
 the retail and wholesale lending business of the Company only.
 
 The Company is focused on wholesale and retail credit, which is
 expected to drive growth for the Company going forward. The Company has
 grown its outstanding Loan Book to Rs. 28,548 million from Rs. 14,951
 million.  The Retail Loan Book has grown from Rs. 2,910 million to Rs.
 8,144 million. The Wholesale Book expanded from Rs. 12,041 million to Rs.
 20,404 million. Both Retail and Wholesale Loan Book grew during the
 year, but the proportion of the Loan Book tilted more towords Retail
 this year.
 
 The Net-worth of the Company increased from Rs. 6,909 million to Rs. 7,469
 million as at 31st March 2011.
 
 The Company has brought down its gross NPAs from Rs. 558 million to Rs. 71
 million and net NPAs from Rs. 244 million to Rs. 18 million pursuant to
 better asset quality / policies, which is now largely secured with
 adequate collateral, significantly more conservative provisioning
 norms and improved collections.
 
 In the current year, the Company has made a standard asset provision of
 Rs. 74 million pursuant to the guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of
 India.
 
 Consolidated Net Interest Income increased 63% from Rs. 786 million
 during financial year ending 31st March, 2010, to Rs. 1,285 million
 during the financial year ending 31st March, 2011. This was largely on
 account of a larger Loan Book in comparison to the previous year.
 
 Though the Profit Before Tax was up by 39%, the Profit After Tax was
 down by 17% to Rs. 491 million from Rs. 593 million in previous year. This
 was essentially due to a one time impact of non availing of the MAT
 credit and deferred tax charge pursuant to the scheme of merger of FCFS
 with your Company. Consequent to this, there is a provision for MAT of
 Rs. 56 million and net deferred tax charge of Rs. 32 million in the current
 year. Also, in the last year the Company had a brought forward loss of
 Rs. 84 million which is not the case in the current year eventually
 leading to higher tax liability.

 Keeping in mind the overall performance and the outlook for your
 Company, the Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs. 1.5/-
 (Rupees One and Paise Fifty Only) per share i.e. 15 % on each Equity
