 conviction in your company. The annual report contains audited accounts

 Company Performance: Financial Year 2010-2011
 
 It is now the start of a global journey where your company''s approach
 to growth and strategy is about combining Innovation with scale. The
 year gone by has seen us achieve several milestones.
 
 I am happy to report some of the highlights of your company''s
 exceptionally strong operational performance during the year2010-11.
 
 The year was active and challenging for your company. In spite of

 company has successfully moved forth with its growth initiatives,
 demonstrating its inherent strength and stability.
 
 For the benefit of our new shareholders, I wish to explain the nature
 of business of your company. Your company is in the business of Private
 Equity Investments, where the growth of top line and bottom line does
 not determine the benchmark and is not a criterion of progress. It will
 be your company''s endeavor to show-case the progress of its investments
 and in certain cases your company will provide a complete report,
 termed as ''natural parameters of investment''. In this report, your
 company will benchmark each investment on a set of fundamental and
 static criteria, which would then be measured on a yearly and quarterly
 basis.
 
 This will provide all stakeholders a clear overview of your company''s
 investment operations, as a part of the continued endeavor to provide
 information transparently. Your company will be consolidating
 subsidiary companies from this year.
 
 I would also like to mention that your company has always been and will
 be transparent which means your company will disclose the good news and
 the bad news In the same manner.

 close-ended scheme, which may be extended for two additional periods of

 equity-linked investments and debt investments in Portfolio Companies.
 The Fund will invest in businesses and companies in India operating in
 the energy efficiency sector.
 
 IndiaCo Energy Efficiency Fund is a recipient of a fund development
 grant under Seed Capital Assistance Facility (SCAF).

 Development Bank (ADB) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP),
 designed to support the creation of a seed capital investment strategy,
 focused on the clean energy sector within the broader investment
 offerings of venture capital funds across Asia.
 
 Through SCAF support, IndiaCo would develop and refine the early-stage
 component of the fund strategy and provide development support to early
 stage enterprises that could potentially qualify for investment through
 the Fund.
