 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
 
 The year under review has been uncertain, contrary to earlier
 expectations. India faced headwinds in the form of concerns on
 inflation, interest rates, and oil price. Lower industrial growth since
 September 2010 and slowdown in foreign direct investment could
 translate into lower than expected GDP growth forFY2011 and FY2012. The
 fragile global and local economic scenarios have reflected on the
 private equity environment as well. Fund raising continues to be
 sluggish and PE fund raising by India-focused funds saw a dip of 19% on
 a year on year basis
 
 In this backdrop, the year has been one of consolidation for the
 Company. During the year your Company acquired the shares of Saffron
 Asset Advisors Private Limited (name changed to IIML Asset Advisors
 Private Limited), thus making it a subsidiary of Company. In addition
 to the above Saffron Capital Securities Limited and Saffron Capital
 Advisors Limited, both Mauritius based real estate focused managers,
 amalgamated with IL&FS Investment Advisors LLC, a Mauritius based
 wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the foregoing,
 the total Assets Under Management (AUM) of your Company along with
 its affiliates stands increased to USD 3.2 bn and your Company
 alongwith its affiliates also has undents management Yatra Capital
 Limited which is listed on the Euronext Stock Exchange. Your Company
 will seek to leverage the listed vehicle for raising fresh listed
 private equity funds
 
 Your Company invested X 8.27 bn during FY2011, a 43% increase over the
 previous year. More importantly, your Company was also able to provide
 significant return of capital to its fund investors, with US$ 221 mn
 being realized through divestments from 15 investee companies
 
 Given that the fund raising process is episodic, the increase in
 revenues of your Company is more a step function, linked to fresh funds
 closed as also to the investment cycle for the current funds under
 management. Strategic initiatives including opening of the Dubai office
 with a view to expand business presence in the region and the Saffron
 merger are expected to fructify over the next two fiscals. Given the
 lack of demand and the greaterriskaversion of the investment community,
 investmentcycles have elongated, thereby impacting pace of fresh fund
 raises. Accordingly, the Company initiated fund raising for three new
 funds only in the latter part of 2011. The enhancement in assets under
 management of US$ 400 mn came from the amalgamation of the Saffron
 platform; however depreciation costs related to the transaction have
 resulted in a lower Profit After Tax than planned
 
 On a consolidated basis, the Income from Operations of the Company for
 the financial year 2010-2011 was X 1.9 bn. Inclusive of Income from
 Investments of X 72.39 mn and Other Income of X 39.45 mn, the Total
 Income on a consolidated basis for the Financial Year 2010-2011 was X
 2.01 bn. The resultant Profit afterTaxon consolidated
 basisforthefinancial year2010-2011 was X690.20 mn
 
 On a standalone basis, the Income from Operations of the Company for
 the financial year 2010-2011 was X 852.77 mn. Inclusive of Income from
 Investments of ? 61.64 mn and Other Income of ? 35.03 mn, the Total
 Income of the Company for the Financial Year 2010-2011 was ? 949.44 mn.
 The total Expensesfortheyearweret394.90mn and the resultant
 ProfitafterTaxforthe financial year2010-2011 wast 374.06mn
 
 FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
 The emerging weak and uncertain economic data points to a possible
 downgrading of the growth forecasts for FY2012. Scaling down of FY2012
 growth expectations by 0.5-1.0% is already being sounded out by various
 agencies, with the Government reaffirming that it would be willing to
 sacrifice growth in the interest of reigning in inflation
 
 However, notwithstanding the challenging macro-economic environment,
 India continues to present a compelling investment opportunity. In
 order to address this opportunity, your Company has started marketing
 of three new funds. Leveraging its parentage, the Company would in this
 fiscal launch a variety of funds covering the infrastructure lifecycle.
 The new Funds collectively target to raise US bn overthe next 12-18
 months, with some achieving a First Close during this fiscal.
 Achallenging global investment environment would dictate the Companys
 ability to raise new Funds within the planned timelines. Despite having
 a competitive advantage and performance recognition among global
 investors, the active divestment of olderfunds coupled with longer lead
 times forfund raising are expected to keep assets under management flat
