Message from the Non-Executive Chairman-Interim

Will there be a contagion effect? That was the question frequently asked of every microfinance industry professional following the promulgation of the Andhra Pradesh Micro Finance Institutions (Regulation of Money Lending) Ordinance, 2010. Your Company has always maintained that there would be no contagion effect, given your Companys understanding of the ground realities in 17 non-Andhra Pradesh states where your Company has operations. None of these non-Andhra Pradesh states have been facing any demand-side issues, and even in Andhra Pradesh the credit gap of Rs. 4,000 crore created by the exit of microfinance institutions post October 2010 has not been met. Consistent with the public statements made by your Company regarding the robust non-Andhra Pradesh demand, your Company registered a 11 percent quarter-on-quarter non-Andhra Pradesh portfolio growth to Rs.1,320 crore in Q4-FY12, reversing the declining trend over the previous five quarters. Your Company continues to maintain its high collection efficiencies in 17 non-Andhra Pradesh states with the collection figure for the quarter ending March 2012 standing at 95 percent. As for Andhra Pradesh, the situation post promulgation of ordinance has deteriorated considerably. The sector owes a lot to the macro level political and financial sector leadership, which has resulted in greater clarity as to the emerging regulatory landscape for this sector. Some of the changes actual and on the anvil include: May 22, 2012 - Introduction of the Micro Finance Institutions (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2012 in Parliament, which will make Reserve Bank of India the regulator for the sector. The Law on approval by Parliament and its enactment will govern microfinance institutions. December 2, 2011 - RBIs NBFC-MFI Directions, 2011 creating a separate category of NBFCs i.e., NBFC-MFIs. May 3, 2011 - The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) clarification on eligibility requirements for priority sector loans to Microfinance Institutions as a separate category.

These changes at the macro level have seen a re-rating of the MFI sector, flow of private equity capital and credit to MFI institutions including to your Company. I believe that these regulatory changes promise a frame work which will provide an opportunity to usher greater value for all your Companys stakeholders. I am particularly thankful to all shareholders who have stood with the Management of the Company during this turbulent phase.

Rationalization, Reinvention and Revitalization -- the three R approach has been driving change at your Company with the steadfast support of all key stakeholders like you. Your Company has heralded a new chapter in customer grievance redressal and customer protection in the Indian microfinance industry when it had integrated globally bench marked Customer Protection Practices (CPP) into the business plan. Among the other key initiatives on the CPP front are: Capping Return on Assets at 3 percent for the core microfinance business (announced on December 7, 2011). Appointment of Mr. Verghese Jacob, a seasoned corporate and social sector expert with three decades of experience, as your Companys Ombudsman on January 31, 2012. Investment of Rs. 15 crore in the next three years for its customer grievance redressal and CPP initiatives. Network-wide training for all employees in globally benchmarked CPP and realigning the employee incentive system by integrating customer grievance redressal and CPP into the KRAs.

On the business front, consolidation of customer base, cross sell initiatives and diversification have been the key focus areas. The customer base has seen a consolidation from 77.2 lakh in Q3-FY11 to 53.5 lakh in Q4-FY12. Your Company plans to service 15,000 Sangam Stores (present number: 10,742) and extend loans for purchase of 5.5 lakh mobile handsets this year (2.8 lakh loans advanced so far). In the core microfinance space, your Company had registered a 11 percent quarter-on-quarter portfolio growth to Rs.1,320 crore in Q4-FY12 in its non-Andhra Pradesh operations reversing the declining trend over the previous five quarters. Your Company continued to maintain its high collection efficiencies in 17 non-Andhra Pradesh states with the collection figure for the quarter ending March 2012 standing at 95 percent. The achievements are consistent with your Companys public statements that microfinance does not face any demand-side issues in any Indian state. However, in Andhra Pradesh, the plight of 92 lakh rural women borrowers needs immediate attention. These women have been labeled as defaulters on account of non-payment of microfinance loans for over a year, as indicated by data available with three credit information bureaus. Such women would be denied formal credit facilities or they would have to pay higher interest cost. In this regard, a research report of MicroSave, an independent international organization and a close affiliate of CGAP which is housed at the World Bank, is an eye-opener for all concerned. The report is based on 76 sessions using participatory methods like focus group discussions, relative preference ranking and financial sector trend analysis during July-August, 2011 in the Telangana, Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra regions of Andhra Pradesh covering the districts of Anantapur, Krishna, Nizamabad and Adilabad. MicroSave also interviewed Government officials. The key findings are: MFI members have taken loans at exorbitant interest rates from moneylenders in the absence of loans from MFIs. Moneylenders have increased lending in the past eight to 10 months in areas with higher penetration of MFIs. Many members had reduced the scale of their business because of lack of access to alternate sources of credit. Members have sold their assets such as house, vehicle, cattle, jewellery, etc., to meet their productive as well as essential non-productive expenditure which have to be met. Most of the members stopped repaying as other members of the group and the community stopped repaying. Most of the members denied any harassment from the MFIs, and said that they are willing to repay their loans if MFIs start disbursing fresh loans and if other members in the community also start repaying. Members would like to carry forward their relationship with MFIs, given the fact that it is an economical and convenient credit option for them.

In order to end the miseries of lower middle class women and to meet part of the credit gap of Rs. 4,000 crore created in Andhra Pradesh post the exit of microfinance companies, your Company has been working with the State Government and others concerned to restore business normalcy in Andhra Pradesh. Your Company is confident of an early resolution to the Andhra Pradesh situation. Your Company is also confident of generating greater value for all stakeholders through consolidation, cross sell and CPP .

Message from the CFO

FY12 was the most difficult year in your Companys corporate life because of the Andhra Pradesh MFI crisis. However, your Company was able to manage the crisis given its commitment to deliver all its promises. Your Company met all its financial obligations in a timely manner and repaid more than Rs. 3,800 crore to the credit grantors. Your Company decided against Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) and the same was highly appreciated by credit grantors. The long wait did come to an end in Q4-FY12. Your Company obtained sanction for incremental debt of Rs.1,360 crore and drew down Rs. 998 crore which is 2.4 times larger than the draw-downs in the first nine months of FY12. The difficult task of cleaning the AP exposure had been carried out with a write-off of Rs. 1,130 crore without igniting a crisis of confidence among various stakeholders. The write-off was accelerated when benchmarked with applicable provisioning norms and your Company did not avail deferred tax asset (DTA) of Rs. 460 crore. However, DTA of Rs. 460 crore is an economic value available for the shareholders in the near future. Your Company chose prudence over profitability. Branch network and headcount were rationalised in a non-disruptive manner to optimize the cost structure and deliver an ROA of 4 percent (3 percent from MFI operations and the rest from non-MFI operations) even under the regulated interest rate regime upon the portfolio outstanding reaching the optimal level. Your Company adopted the principle that, in a crisis period, cash flows are more important than Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet is more important than P&L. As you could see, your Companys cash flows were healthy and it ended the year with a cash and bank balance of Rs. 690 crore. The huge write-off on AP portfolio cleansed the B/S. Now the focus is on P&L and hence the headcount and branch network rationalization. Your Companys immediate priority is to return to the path of profitability and, with the planned capital raise, it should reach there sooner than later. The comprehensive regulatory framework laid down by RBI on December 2, 2011 has provided the much-awaited regulatory clarity and the final piece will be the passage of the Central MFI bill. In a sectoral crisis, even a leader cannot avoid the painful transition but your Company, having survived the crisis, should reap the fruits of consolidation.

Directors Report
Dear Members, Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the Ninth Annual Report of your Company together with the audited statement of accounts for the year ended March 31, 2012. The year was momentous for the microfinance industry in India in general and your Company in particular due to the significant regulatory changes. The following are the major developments on the regulatory front: On May 3, 2011 the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) accepted the recommendations of the Malegam Committee, set up to study issues and concerns in the microfinance sector. Also, the RBI re-affirmed priority sector status for microfinance. On December 2, 2011, the RBI created a new category of finance companies, the Non-Banking Finance Companies-Micro Finance Institutions (NBFC-MFIs), and released operational guidelines for these firms which will be regulated by the RBI. The guidelines lay considerable emphasis on the financial stability of MFIs and prescribe prudential norms for capital adequacy, asset classification and provisioning for bad assets. Further, ceilings have also been imposed on individual interest rates and realizable margins. Also, certain norms have been stipulated in relation to fair collection practices and transparency in pricing. On May 22, 2012, the Micro Finance Institutions (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2012 was introduced in Parliament.

Your Company has already adopted several aspects of the new regulatory framework and has applied to the RBI for the classification of your Company as an NBFC-MFI. Your Company continues to be one of the largest microfinance institutions (MFIs) in India in terms of the total value of loans outstanding and the number of borrowers, as of March 31, 2012, and the only MFI listed in India. Financial highlights The financial performance for fiscal ended March 31, 2012 is summarized in the following table: (Rs. in Crore) Year ended March 31 Total revenue Less: Total expenditure Profit (Loss) Before Tax Profit (Loss) After Tax Surplus brought forward Amount available for appropriation Appropriation has been made as under: Transfer to Statutory Reserve Surplus carried to Balance Sheet Earnings Per Share (EPS) (1,051.3) (188.06) 22.3 309.3 16.1 2012 472.3 1,796.1 (1,323.7) (1,360.6) 309.3 2011 1,269.5 1,098.6 170.9 111.6 220.0 331.6

Diluted EPS (188.06) 15.2 - Your Companys total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2012 has recorded a reduction of 62.8 percent from Rs. 1,269.5 crore to Rs. 472.3 crore. - Net Profit After Tax for the year declined from Rs. 111.6 crore to a loss of Rs. 1,360.6 crore in FY12.

Operational highlights The following table summarizes the operational performance of your Company for the year ended March 31, 2012: Year ended March 31 Number of branches Number of members (in Lakhs) Number of employees Amount disbursed (Rs. in Crore) Portfolio outstanding (Rs. in Crore) 10 2012 1,461 53.5 16,194 2,737 1,669 2011 2,379 73.1 22,733 7,831 4,111 Percentage change (38.6) (26.8) (28.8) (65.1) (59.4)

During the year under review, your Companys member base has decreased by 26.8 percent to 53.5 lakh (5.35 million) as compared to 73.1 lakh (7.31 million) for the previous year, which is primarily due to Andhra Pradesh Microfinance Institutions (Regulation of Money-Lending) Act, 2010 (AP MFI Act). Consequently, loan disbursement decreased by 65.1 percent from Rs. 7,831 crore to Rs. 2,737 crore. Your Company has closed or merged 918 branches as part of its business rationalization policy. Unique strengths Your Company continues to be recognized as one of the largest MFIs in India with unique achievements and strengths. Among these are: Your Company has repaid more than Rs. 3,800 crore to the banking system since the Andhra Pradesh microfinance situation without even a days delay and did not join CDR. Your Company has healthy cash and bank balances of Rs. 690 crore with a networth of Rs. 435 crore and strong capital adequacy of 35.4 percent (as against the 12 percent stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India) as of March 31, 2012. In addition, the unavailed deferred tax benefit stands at Rs. 460 crore. Your Company has also brought about a significant reduction in operating costs from Rs. 106 crore in Q4-FY11 to Rs. 81 crore in Q4-FY12 on account of branch consolidation from 2,379 in Q4-FY11 to 1,461 in Q4-FY12. Your Company has not lost a single Core Management Team member voluntarily since the Andhra Pradesh microfinance situation. In order to protect members from over-indebtedness, your Company has been playing a leading part in pioneering industry-wide efforts on creating and sharing credit-related information with Credit Bureaus. Between September 2011 and April 2012, your Company obtained Credit Bureau reports for 44 lakh members, while loans have been given to only 26percent of them. Your Companys policies and processes along with documentation have been modified to comply with: 1. 2. 3. RBI guidelines of December 2, 2011. RBI Fair Practice Code guidelines of July 2, 2012. Guidelines and codes of industry bodies like Sa-Dhan and MFIN.

Your Company disclosed on December 7, 2011 that it would invest Rs. 15 crore in the next three years in order to align its customer grievance redressal and Customer Protection Practices (CPP) with globally recognized benchmarks. Your Company announced on December 7, 2011 that it will cap Return on Assets at 3 percent for the core microfinance business. Your Companys present interest is 24.55 percent as against the Reserve Bank of India prescribed limit of 26 percent. Mr. Verghese Jacob, a seasoned corporate and social sector expert with three decades of experience, was appointed as your Companys Ombudsman on January 31, 2012. Your Company commissioned EDA Rural Systems, a reputed development sector consultancy, to develop a training programme encompassing the seven principles (avoidance of over-indebtedness, transparency, responsible pricing, appropriate collection practices, ethical staff behavior, privacy of client data and grievance redressal mechanism) of CPP and also certify several staff members after imparting Train-The-Trainer coaching to them.

On account of such distinctions, your Company has been appreciated by key stakeholders including banks and financial institutions. Your Company completed 23 transactions with leading banks and financial entities and obtained sanction for incremental debt of Rs. 1,360 crore in Q4-FY12. During the fiscal, your Company also accomplished the largest rated pool assignment transaction of Rs. 354 crore in the Indian microfinance history. Andhra Pradesh microfinance situation The achievements should be viewed in the backdrop of the sensitive Andhra Pradesh situation post the promulgation of the Andhra Pradesh Micro Finance Institutions (Regulation of Money-Lending) Ordinance, 2010. Subsequently, on January 1, 2011, the Government of Andhra Pradesh introduced the AP MFI Act to replace the AP MFI Ordinance. Prior to the promulgation of the new law, Andhra Pradesh was Indias largest microfinance market accounting 30 percent of borrower accounts and loan outstanding of microfinance institutions. Post the promulgation, the Indian microfinance industry faced its worst crisis ever with the lower middle class borrower bearing the brunt of the situation. The Andhra Pradesh Governments stated aim was to protect the poor and yet its actions have resulted in a 600-fold decrease in financing to the very poorest of Indias citizens, according to Legatum Ventures report, Microfinance in India: A Crisis at the Bottom of the Pyramid. This should make everyone pause. The rural poor depend on access to consistent and dependable finance to help 11

smooth patchy income streams and avert financial crisis. The Andhra Pradesh Governments actions have effectively shut off finance to these most vulnerable of Indias citizens. Indeed, as this paper discusses, the very premise of the AP MFI Act was fundamentally flawed. Quite apart from protecting the poor, the AP MFI Act does just the opposite and risks creating a near term financial and human crisis amongst the rural poor in Andhra Pradesh, while also potentially jeopardizing the Indian Governments broader financial inclusion agenda. The impact of the new law could be summed up on the following lines: In the first half of FY11, prior to the promulgation of the new law, MFIs in Andhra Pradesh disbursed Rs. 5,000 crore to borrowers. This dropped to Rs. 8.5 crore in the second half of FY11. The exit of microfinance companies had created a credit gap of Rs. 4,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh, The Hindu newspaper quoted a senior official of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development as saying. Close to 9.2 million customers or almost one in three microfinance borrowers (almost equal to Mumbais suburban population) have defaulted on loan repayment, according to Business Standard and The Economic Times. These members would appear as defaulters in Credit Bureau lists. Microfinance recovery rates in Andhra Pradesh had fallen to 10 percent from 95 percent. Your Company has also brought down the residual Andhra Pradesh exposure (Net) to Rs. 236 crore from a high of Rs. 1,491 crore in October 2010 by writing off/ provisioning Rs. 1,129 crore.

MicroSave report: No harassment The report of MicroSave, an independent international organization and a close affiliate of CGAP which is housed at the World Bank, is an eye-opener for all concerned. The report, What are Clients doing Post the Andhra Pradesh MFI Crisis?, is based on 76 sessions using participatory methods like focus group discussions, relative preference ranking and financial sector trend analysis during JulyAugust 2011 in the Telangana, Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra regions of Andhra Pradesh covering the districts of Anantapur, Krishna, Nizamabad and Adilabad. MicroSave also interviewed several government officials, who are involved in SHG movement, bank officials, who have experience in SHG-bank linkage, field staff of SHG federations, field staff of MFIs and their borrowers and SHG members. Below are the extracts from the same: Key findings of MicroSave study are: MFI members have taken loans at exorbitant interest rates from moneylenders in the absence of loans from MFIs. Moneylenders have increased lending in the past eight to 10 months in areas with higher penetration of MFIs. Many members had reduced the scale of their business because of lack of access to alternate sources of credit. Members have sold their assets such as house, vehicle, cattle, jewellery, etc., to meet their productive as well as essential nonproductive expenditure which have to be met. Most of the members stopped repaying as other members of the group and the community stopped repaying. Most of the members denied any harassment from the MFIs, and said that they are willing to repay their loans if MFIs start disbursing fresh loans and if other members in the community also start repaying. Members would like to carry forward their relationship with MFIs, given the fact that it is an economical and convenient credit option for them.

One of the key recommendations (for the State Government/ MFIs): As the majority of the clientele of MFIs are members of SHGs promoted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, there are chances of issues of conflict between MFIs and the local machinery of the Government. The Government and MFIs should take initiative to establish a forum at both district and state level to resolve any conflicts. Ex Andhra Pradesh Sarpanches back MFIs The grassroots Andhra Pradesh perspective too reflects the plight of the lower middle classes. In view of their plight, eminent ex Sarpanches and other grassroots opinion leaders from 15 districts of Andhra Pradesh have urged the State Government to restart microfinance loans for the poor. Media reports, featuring such requests, have been published regularly by leading regional newspapers including Andhra Bhoomi, Andhra Jyothi, Andhra Prabha, Eenadu, Namasthe Telangana, Sakshi, Surya and Vaartha during the latter half of the fiscal. The media reports focus on the following aspects: 12 Repeal Ordinance: Sakshi has reported that the State Ordinance against MFI loans had caused the people in Shadnagar area to again depend on usurious moneylenders to run their small businesses since they were unable to find easy credit after MFIs stopped offering loans due to the Ordinance.

Uncertainty due to lack of MFI loans leading to problems: Andhra Prabha has reported that there was an urgent need for the Government to reinstate MFI loans to farmers and the poor classes, who have been badly affected by the lack of credit. The report went on to note that non-availability of bank loans in villages could create a drop in farm output, which could have an adverse impact on the state economy. Poor in the vortex of debt: Namasthe Telangana has pointed out that farmers had been caught in the vortex of debt as the exit of MFIs has forced them back into the clutches of moneylenders. It reported that the previous year had seen farmers utilize loans from MFIs in a proper manner and benefiting from them. The MFI ordinance had once again increased their reliance on moneylenders, this year. Interest rates should be reduced: Eenadu has emphasized on the increased interest burden on the lower income classes as a result of the Governments MFI Ordinance and subsequent dependence on moneylenders. The article highlighted the hardships faced by the rural poor on account of the exit of MFIs and lack of alternative credit options at hand. Need for microfinance loans: Andhra Prabha has explained the indispensable role that microfinance loans had played not just in agricultural businesses but also in other important small businesses such as the purchase of buffaloes and selling of milk to villagers. Microfinance loans had benefitted a number of people and families improving their living standards. The article emphasized on the advantages of microfinance loans compared to loans from moneylenders in villages.

The validity of the AP MFI Act has been challenged by several MFIs, including your Company. The matter is currently pending in the Honorable High Court of Andhra Pradesh. The Sa-Dhan 2011 report had stated that concerted action from all the stakeholders, viz, the Central Government, the RBI, the Government of AP , banks, Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), in addition to involvement from industry associations such as the Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN) and Sa-Dhan (the Association of Community Development Finance Institution), is important for resolution of the AP microfinance crisis. In July 2011, the Central Government released the draft Micro Finance Institutions (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2011 (draft MFI Bill) for public comments. The Draft MFI Bill was subsequently replaced by the Micro Finance Institutions (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2012 (MFI Bill 2012). The MFI Bill 2012, which was presented before the Indian Parliament on May 22, 2012, attempts to regulate the entire microfinance sector, irrespective of the form of institutions involved. The MFI Bill 2012 states that its provisions shall be effective notwithstanding anything inconsistent contained in any other law. The MFI Bill 2012 will require the approval of the Indian Parliament as well as the assent of the President of India and publication in the Official Gazette before becoming law. The draft MFI Bill, among other things, states that its provisions shall be effective notwithstanding anything inconsistent contained in any other law and that microfinance services extended by any MFI registered with the RBI shall not be treated as money-lending for the purpose of any state enactments relating to money-lending and usurious loans. The introduction of the draft MFI Bill is being seen by the MFI industry as a key step towards resolving the uncertainty created by the AP MFI Act. No contagion effect The sensitive Andhra Pradesh situation has not shown any contagion effect with non-Andhra Pradesh operations of SKS Microfinance registering a 11 percent quarter-on-quarter portfolio growth to Rs. 1,320 crore in Q4-FY12 reversing the declining trend over the previous five quarters. Your Company continued to maintain its high collection efficiencies in 17 non-Andhra Pradesh states with the collection figure for the quarter ending March 2012 standing at 95.1 percent. New business initiatives Your Company has built a large distribution network in rural India. As of March 31, 2012, your Company has 13,596 branch managers, assistant branch managers and Sangam Managers who comprise 84 percent of its total workforce, across 1,461 branches in 18 states. Your Company can leverage this network to distribute financial and non-financial products of other institutions to the borrowermembers at a cost lower than the market price. Your Companys network also allows such distributors to access a segment of the market to which many do not otherwise have access to. Your Company intends to diversify into other businesses while retaining the core microfinance business focus. Your Company is scaling up certain pilot projects involving fee-based services and secured lending, gradually converting them into separate business verticals. Your Companys objective in these non-microfinance businesses is to focus on lending that will sustain high repayment rates, increase borrower-members loyalty and also provide economic benefits to the borrower-members and their families. Such nonmicrofinance products and services offer higher operating margins and thus may help your Company to increase the overall Return on Assets (ROA). Your Company currently offers certain loan products that borrower-members can use to purchase products that will increase the productivity of borrower-members and their businesses. Your Company is selective about the products for which loans are issued. To ensure the loans are used for the purchase of the specified product, your Company first enters into a strategic relationship with a selected supplier of the product and specifies the loan disbursement will be made directly to the supplier of the product rather than to the borrower-member. 13

Your Company has two programmes under this category, namely Mobile Phone Loans and Sangam Store Loans. Mobile Phone Loans After a successful pilot programme with Nokia during FY10 and FY11 for financing of mobile phones for the borrower-members, your Company extended this initiative to 11 states in India. The following are the features of MBL: The annual effective interest rate of the Mobile Phone Loans programme is 26.0 percent and the loan processing fee is 1.0 percent. A processing/ referral fee is paid to your Company by Nokia and its distributors. The term of this loan is typically 25 weeks. The price of the mobile phones financed by your Company ranges from Rs. 1,800 to Rs. 3,000. Principal and interest payments are due on a weekly basis during the term of the loan.

As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, Mobile Phone Loans constituted 0.4 percent and 1.3 percent respectively, of your Companys total outstanding loan portfolio. Sangam Store Loans Your Company has also undertaken a pilot project involving a business-to-business loan programme with Metro to fund the working capital requirements of the borrower-members and certain non-borrower-members, who own and operate kirana or Sangam Stores. Dividend Your Directors have not recommended any dividend as your Company reported losses during the year under review. Change in Registered Office The Registered Office of your Company was shifted from Ashoka Raghupathi Chambers, D. No. 1-10-60 to 62, Opp. Shoppers Stop, Begumpet, Hyderabad - 500 016, Andhra Pradesh, India to 3rd Floor, My Home Tycoon, Block - A, 6-3-1192, Kundanbagh, Begumpet, Hyderabad - 500 016, Andhra Pradesh, India with effect from May 7, 2012. Further, the Board in its meeting held on May 7, 2012 recommended shifting of the Registered Office from Andhra Pradesh to Maharashtra, by amendment to the Situation Clause of the Memorandum of Association of your Company, subject to approvals of the Members and Statutory Authorities. Your Company is in the process of obtaining necessary approvals. Management Discussion and Analysis The Management Discussion & Analysis Report for the year under review is presented in a separate section on Page 39 in this Annual report. Corporate Governance Your Company adopts the corporate best practices and is committed to conducting its business in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Your Company follows the highest standards of business ethics. A report on Corporate Governance is provided on Page 55 in this Annual Report. Resources and liquidity Your Company, being a Systemically Important Non-Deposit Accepting NBFC, is subject to the capital adequacy requirements prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. Your Company has to maintain a minimum ratio of 15 percent as prescribed under the Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 (as amended from time 14 This programme allows Sangam Stores to purchase their inventory of consumer goods and groceries from Metro at wholesale prices. Loan amounts range from Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 12,500 and are interest free. The term of the loan is seven days. Non-members are serviced on the basis of cash-on-delivery. Your Company also offers credit to non-borrower-members upon satisfactory credit appraisals and obtaining requisite approvals. Your Company receives a fixed commission from Metro for the total purchases a store makes from it, while utilizing the productivity loan.

to time) based on total capital to risk weighted assets. Your Company maintained Capital to Risk Asset Ratio (CRAR) of 35.4 percent and 45.4 percent respectively as on March 31, 2012 and as on March 31, 2011 respectively, which is higher than the statutory 15 percent requirement. During the year, your Company has received ratings for various instruments to raise funds and a summary of the ratings is presented in the following table: Agency CARE Rating CARE Rating CARE Rating CARE Rating Item Short Term Debt MFI Grading Assignment Securitization Rating CARE A1* MFI 2+ CARE A1+ (SO) CARE A1+ (SO)

*Rating withdrawn in May 2012 as no instrument is outstanding. Fixed deposits Your Company has not accepted any fixed deposits and, as such, no amount of principal or interest was outstanding as of the Balance Sheet date. Increase in share capital During the year under review, 32,985 equity shares were issued under the ESOP plans of your Company. Thus, the issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital increased from 72,323,910 to 72,356,895 as on March 31, 2012. Post the Balance Sheet date, your Company issued 906,734 Equity Shares under ESOP 2007 on May 4, 2012 and opened QIP issue on July 12, 2012 for issue of Equity Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VIII of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009, as amended. The said QIP issue is being carried out in accordance with the resolution passed by the shareholders of your Company through Postal Ballot on December 7, 2011. Further, in terms of Regulations 81(c) of Chapter VIII of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009, the Board has fixed July 12, 2012 as the Relevant Date for the purpose and accordingly the floor price is Rs. 75.40 per Equity Share as per the pricing formula under Regulation 85 of Chapter VIII of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, 2009. RBI guidelines The Reserve Bank of India, based on the recommendations of the Malegam Committee, notified the directions, inter alia, for the introduction of new category for MFIs, known as Non Banking Financial Company-Micro Finance Institutions (NBFC-MFIs). Following is the criteria for classifying an NBFC as an NBFC- MFI: Minimum net owned funds of Rs. 5 crore. Not less than 85 percent of its net assets are in the nature of qualifying assets.

Note: i. ii. Among the existing NBFCs to be classified as NBFC-MFIs, those with asset size less than Rs. 100 crore will be required to comply with this norm w.e.f April 01, 2012. Those with asset size of Rs. 100 crore and above are already required to maintain minimum CRAR of 15 percent. The CRAR for NBFC-MFIs, which have more than 25 percent loan portfolio in the state of Andhra Pradesh will be at 12 percent for the year 2011-2012 only. Thereafter, they have to maintain CRAR at 15 percent.

Asset classification norms: With effect from April 01, 2013: i. ii. Standard asset means the asset in respect of which no default in repayment of principal or payment of interest is perceived and which does not disclose any problem nor carry more than normal risk attached to the business.

Provisioning norms: With effect from April 01, 2013 The aggregate loan provision to be maintained by NBFC-MFIs at any point in time shall not be less than the higher of: 1 percent of the outstanding loan portfolio, or 50 percent of the aggregate loan installments, which are overdue for more than 90 days and less than 180 days and 100 percent of the aggregate loan installments, which are overdue for 180 days or more.

The RBI has, through its circular dated March 20, 2012, deferred the implementation of the asset classification and provisioning norms prescribed for NBFC-MFIs until April 1, 2013. Pricing of credit: i. ii. iii. iv. All NBFC-MFIs shall maintain an aggregate margin cap of not more than 12 percent. The interest cost will be calculated on the basis of average fortnightly balances of outstanding borrowings, and interest income is to be calculated on the basis of average fortnightly balances of outstanding loan portfolio of qualifying assets. Interest on individual loans will not exceed 26 percent per annum and the same will be calculated on a reducing (diminishing) balance basis. Processing charges shall not be more than 1 percent of gross loan amount. Processing charges need not be included in the margin cap or the interest cap. NBFC-MFIs shall recover only the actual cost of insurance for group, or livestock, life, health for borrower and spouse.

Fair Practices Code The Reserve Bank of India on March 26, 2012 amended the Fair Practices Code for all NBFCs including MFIs and Gold Loan companies, requiring NBFC-MFIs and Gold Loan companies to comply with certain additional norms with respect to their lending practices and recovery methods. Your Company has revised the Code of Conduct for field staff, who have been involved in microfinance activities and Gold Loans along with relevant policies and documents in line with the RBI guidelines on Fair Practices Code for NBFCs. On December 21, 2011, your Company submitted an application to the RBI for classification as an NBFC-MFI and is awaiting necessary approval from the RBI. Credit bureau for MFIs In order to address the issue of multiple lending or over-indebtedness, various Micro Finance Institutions/ NBFCs have come together to invest in the Credit Information Bureau, namely High Mark Credit Information Services Private Limited via Alpha Micro Finance Consultants Private Limited. In order to facilitate the collective investment in High Mark as well as undertake other collective steps for building the technology infrastructure for credit information sharing among themselves, and to educate their staff in ensuring good Customer Protection Practices are followed, Alpha has been established as a collective entity by 25 NBFC-MFIs which together have about 70 percent of the total portfolio of the microfinance loans. Your Company invested Rs. 20 lakh in Alpha. Self-regulations for MFIs Your Company is a member of both Industry Associations viz., Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN) and Sa-Dhan (the Association of Community Development Finance Institution) that aim to work with various stakeholders, including regulators to promote microfinance as a tool for achieving larger financial inclusion goals. These self-regulatory organisations have defined an Unified Code of Conduct for microfinance institutions in India, which seek to create social benefits and promote financial inclusion by providing affordable services 16

to un-served and underserved households. The Code, in addition to reiterating the regulatory guidelines, defines core values and fair practices for the sector so as to ensure that microfinance services through MFIs are provided in a manner that benefit borrowersmembers. Ethical approach and dignity for borrowers-members are the key elements of the Code. Globally benchmarked Customer Protection Practices In view of the concerns raised during the Andhra Pradesh situation, your Company has been rolling out several initiatives in order to make Client Protection Principle (CPP) a strategic priority as also to integrate the same into the business plan. Among the initiatives are: Credit bureaus and over-indebtedness: In order to protect members from over-indebtedness, your Company has been playing a leading part in pioneering industry-wide efforts on creating and sharing credit-related information with Credit Bureaus. Between September 2011 and April 2012, your Company obtained Credit Bureau reports for 44 lakh members, while loans have been given to only 26 percent of them. Regulatory compliance: Your Companys policies and processes along with documentation have been modified to comply with: 1. RBI guidelines of December 2, 2011; 2. RBI Fair Practice Code guidelines of July 2, 2012; 3. Guidelines and codes of industry bodies like Sa-Dhan and MFIN. Third-party verification and endorsement: Your Company has been seeking external validation for compliance. Accordingly, M-Cril, a well-known rating agency, conducted a study during October 2011-December 2011 across five states and issued a fully complaint report. A similar study for the period January 2012-June 2012 covering eight states is being commissioned. Rs. 15 crore investment for CPP: Your Company disclosed on December 7, 2011 that it would invest Rs. 15 crore in the next three years in order to align its customer grievance redressal and CPP with globally recognized benchmarks. Cap on Return on Asset: Your Company announced on December 7, 2011 that it will cap Return on Assets at 3 percent for the core microfinance business. Your Companys present interest is 24.55 percent as against the Reserve Bank of India prescribed limit of 26 percent. Ombudsman: Mr. Verghese Jacob, a seasoned corporate and social sector expert with three decades of experience, was appointed as its Ombudsman on January 31, 2012. CPP training and certification: Your Company commissioned EDA Rural Systems, a reputed development sector consultancy, to develop a training programme encompassing the seven principles (avoidance of over-indebtedness, transparency, responsible pricing, appropriate collection practices, ethical staff behavior, privacy of client data and grievance redressal mechanism) of CPP and also certify several staff members after imparting Train-The-Trainer coaching to them. CPP assessment: Your Company has volunteered for an independent assessment of its current practices by Smart Campaign Team of Accion International. Their initial comments capture the best practices being implemented by your Company. The final report is awaited. Upgradation of Customer Grievance Redressal systems and processes: Your Company was the first microfinance company in India to start a Toll-free Helpline (1800 300 10000), which is operational in eight Indian languages since July 6, 2009. A couple of new Customer Grievance Redressal initiatives are being implemented to ensure faster complaint resolution. Integrating CPP into employee KRAs: Zero-tolerance policies have been rolled out specifying severe penalties including termination for non-compliance of the regulatory guidelines. The above-mentioned measures will align your Companys CPP with globally benchmarked best practices, helping your Companys customer satisfaction levels while addressing policy-makers concerns, if any. Information technology Your Company is focused on technology solutions that drive growth. Initiatives are being taken in the following areas: Cost-effective total branch connectivity solution and strengthen existing communication channels. Centralization of data for real-time decision making. Building strong business intelligence reporting and analytics capability. Consolidation of network, storage and hardware infrastructure by using Cloud and virtualization services to drive economies of scale.

The execution of the above-mentioned initiatives will help your Company in achieving its goals. Human Resource Management The Human Resources function has been implementing several initiatives to attract and retain talent. In this regard, the function has been implementing various programmes in the areas of manpower planning and optimization, devising development plans, employee engagement as also indiscipline. A key initiative in this regard is CARE built on the four pillars of: Creative communication, Appreciation for all, Reward and recognition and Energy and enthusiasm. The function has been playing a critical role in ensuring that the field employees follow a standardized set of processes and policies resulting in minimization of business risks and enhancing customer satisfaction. It plays a pivotal role in disseminating Client Protection Practices, Code of Conduct and Staff Ethical Behavior across the organization enabling the human capital of your Company to gear up for future with a special focus on rapid changes pertaining to internal and external environment. Your Company continues to implement various industry first initiatives in the areas of role-based training and certification, performance differentiation and value-based approaches. Building leaders from within will continue to be a priority and your Company continues to strengthen its efforts to build the pipeline.

Directors During the year under review, following are the changes: 1. 2. 3. Mr. Suresh Gurumani and Mr. Pramod Bhasin resigned as Directors from the Board of Directors of your Company with effect from May 27, 2011 and August 12, 2011 respectively. Dr. Vikram Akula resigned as the Executive Chairman of your Company with effect from November 23, 2011. Mr. V. Chandrasekarans nomination on the Board was withdrawn by Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) with effect from June 8, 2012.

The Board places on record its appreciation for the contribution made by the above-mentioned Directors to your Company and industry during their tenure. Your Company is in the process of appointing a new incumbent in place of Mr. V. Chandrasekaran as SIDBI nominee on the board of your Company on completion of certain formalities. Mr. P .H. Ravikumar and Mr. Paresh Patel will retire by rotation and are eligible to offer themselves for re-appointment in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. A brief profile of the Directors is given in the Notice of the Ninth Annual General Meeting. Directors Responsibility Statement Pursuant to the requirement under Section 217(2AA) of the Companies Act, 1956, your Directors confirm as under: 18 i) In the preparation of the annual accounts, the applicable accounting standards read with requirements set out under Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 had been followed and there are no material departures from the same.

 ii)

Your Company has selected such accounting policies and applied them consistently and made judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of your Company at the end of the financial year and of the profit of your Company for that year.

iii) Your Company has taken proper and sufficient care for the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 for safeguarding the assets of your Company and for preventing and detecting fraud and other irregularities. iv) Your Company has prepared the annual accounts of your Company on a going concern basis.

Auditors The Statutory Auditors of your Company, M/s. S. R. Batliboi & Co, Chartered Accountants, Mumbai, retire at the ensuing Ninth Annual General Meeting and have confirmed their eligibility and willingness to accept office of the Auditors, if appointed. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have recommended reappointment of M/s. S. R. Batliboi & Co., as Statutory Auditors of the Company for the FY2012 - 2013 for your approval. Response of the Board to the Auditors Comments In terms of the provisions of Section 217(3) of the Companies Act, 1956, the Board would like to place on record an explanation to the Auditors comments in their Audit Report dated May 8, 2012: S. No. 1. Auditors Comments The Companys accumulated losses at the end of the financial year are more than fifty percent of its net worth and it has incurred cash losses in the current financial year. The Company had not incurred any cash losses in the immediately preceding financial year. Response Due to the impact of the Andhra Pradesh Microfinance (Money-lending) Regulation Act on the field operations in Andhra Pradesh, the Company has prudently written off substantial part of the loans outstanding in the state during the FY2011-12. Your Company has reduced its net exposure in AP to Rs. 236.0 crore as on March 31, 2012 from Rs. 1,303.2 crore as on March 31, 2011. The net exposure is post provisions and write-offs of Rs. 1,007.2 crore on the AP portfolio during the financial year, which have contributed primarily to the losses reported by your Company for the first time in its history. Notably, the total provisions and write-offs of Rs. 1,173.5 crore made during the financial year 2011-12 exceed the accumulated losses of Rs. 1,051.3 crore at the end of the financial year. The Company has a strong networth of Rs. 434.7 crore even after adjusting the accumulated losses and capital adequacy is 35.4 percent. The regulatory uncertainty created by the AP MFI Act led to reduced bank lending to the sector and for your Company resulting in a decline in the non-AP outstanding loan portfolio during the first three quarters of the financial year 2011-12. Subsequently, with clarity from the NBFCMFI directions issued by the RBI and the Central Micro Finance Institutions (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2012, your Company accessed higher funds in the fourth quarter of financial year 2011-12, resulting in quarter-on-quarter growth in the non-AP portfolio. The Company expects this trend to continue into the next financial year. However, lower revenues, due to the reduction in non-AP portfolio over the full year, coupled with less than proportionate decrease in expenses, resulted in cash losses in the financial year 2011-12. To control costs, your Company has initiated several measures and also steps to ensure AP operations are cash neutral.

We have been informed that during the year there were instances of cash embezzlements by the employees of the Company aggregating Rs. 25,091,317; and loans given to nonexistent borrowers on the basis of fictitious documentation created by the employees of the Company aggregating Rs. 133,313,975. The services of all such employees involved have been terminated and the Company is in the process of taking legal action. The outstanding balance (net of recovery) aggregating Rs. 142,440,656 has been written off.

Employee fraud is an inherent risk in the business the Company operates in, since all the transactions are cash-based. In case of cash embezzlements, your Company has recovered an amount of Rs. 10,859,714 including the insurance cover. Cash embezzlement is 0.09percent of disbursement during the year. To mitigate this risk to a large extent, the management has put in place several preventive control measures as under: - Procuring indemnity bond from every field staff, with personal guarantee of a third person. - Every bank transaction (deposit/ withdrawal) is to be executed by minimum of two staff comprising a bank signatory and a confirmed staff. - The strongbox at every branch is controlled by two keys and the keys are held by two different employees in the branch. - Surprise visits are conducted by managerial employees, at the time of carrying out cash/ bank transactions by field employees. - Minimizing the cash balances at various branches to the lowest level possible (50,000 + next day disbursement) There are also several detective controls, as follows: - Employee-wise daily reconciliation of cash balances by the managerial employees at each branch - Frequent surprise visits by accountants and internal auditors, which covers verification of physical cash and bank balances - The following is the action taken in such cases: Terminating services of all the employees involved in cash embezzlements and taking legal action against them Recovering money from such employees Also, your Company has taken fidelity insurance to minimize the losses from cash embezzlements. In case of loans given to non-existent/ fictitious borrowers, your Company has recovered an amount of Rs. 7,397,648 against these cases including insurance cover. These cases are 0.49percent of disbursement during the year. The following are the various preventive control measures included in the loan process to mitigate the risk of loans to non-existent borrowers/ fictitious borrowers: - All the loans disbursed have a maker/ checker control; wherein all the loans processed by sangam managers are approved by branch managers/ assistant branch managers. - Sangam managers are not deployed in their home towns, so as to prevent collusion with the local people there. - Employee rotation every six months, where in the sangam managers manage different centres at the end of every six months. - Transfer of sangam manager/ branch manager in a span of 9 to 12 months - Developed internal processes to restrict loan disbursements to inactive members Detective controls: - The branch managerial employees perform Loan Utilization Check for every loan disbursed. - The internal audit team, on a test basis, verifies the loan documents and performs Loan Utilization Check for the loans disbursed. Actions taken: - Terminating services of all the employees involved in fake loan transactions and taking legal action against them - Recovering money from such employees The net impact of frauds comes to around 0.51 percent of the total amount disbursed during the year. Your Company is working towards reducing this percentage to the least possible by making process improvements, covering the loss by having an adequate insurance policy and by increasing opportunities for direct contact with our members. During the year, your Company has recovered an amount of Rs. 1.30 crore against fraud amount written off in previous years.

Management Discussion and Analysis

MICROFINANCE INDUSTRY The AP MFI Act and the AP microfinance crisis
Background to the AP MFI Act Andhra Pradesh is stated to have a unique leadership position in the Indian microfinance industry, as evidenced by the presence of the four largest MFIs in India in the state (Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report). In March 2010, it accounted for more than 30.0 percent of all borrower accounts and outstanding loan portfolios in the case of MFIs (Source: SOS 2011 report). The following table provides details regarding the microfinance industry in AP:
Crores SHG loans (Rs.) MFI loans (Rs.) SHG members MFI customers Total MF clients (Source: SOS 2011 report) 2008 5,385.7 1,944.5 1.1 0.4 1.4 2009 8,902.1 3,565.2 1.6 0.5 2.1 2010 11,739.5 5210.7 1.7 0.6 2.4 2011 12,869.4 5,204.5 2.2 0.6 2.8

Even though the Government of AP made significant investments in subsidizing financial inclusion through Self-Help Group-Bank Linkage Programmes (SBL), MFIs had continued to increase lending to their customers. An added feature of this high level of MFI lending in the state was the low default rates with portfolio at risk being less than 1.0 percent for most of the MFIs. In contrast, the SBL programmes reported much higher default rates. The repayment rates under the SBL programmes were low (Source: SOS 2011 report and Indian Microfinance Crisis, 2010: Turf War or a Battle of Intentions, published by Intellecap in October 2010). The AP MFI Act On October 15, 2010, the Governor of AP promulgated the AP MFI Ordinance to protect the interests of Self-Help Groups (SHG) in AP by regulating money-lending transactions by MFIs and for achieving greater transparency with respect to such transactions in AP . Subsequently, on January 1, 2011, the Government of AP introduced the AP MFI Act. The AP MFI Ordinance and the AP MFI Act, among other things, provide for the registration of MFIs, impose a prohibition on security for loans provided to SHGs, require prior approval for the grant of further loans to SHGs or their members where the SHG has an outstanding loan from a bank and require that all repayments must be made only by monthly installments at the designated offices of the AP Government. The validity of the AP MFI Ordinance and the AP MFI Act has been challenged by several MFIs, including SKS Microfinance, in the Andhra Pradesh High Court. However, no final orders have been passed as yet and the matter is currently pending. Impact of the AP MFI Act The AP MFI Ordinance and the AP MFI Act had an immediate impact on the recoveries of MFIs. Without being able to hold centre meetings in which the customers were usually required to repay their loans, MFIs were unable to recover their loans. Recovery rates that were as high as 99.0 percent plummeted to as low as 10.0 percent (Source: SOS 2011 report). There was no effective way by which the MFIs could enforce repayments and this became a major concern for the MFI sector in AP . The main reasons for non-repayment of loans and alternative sources of funding after the exit of MFIs post the Andhra Pradesh crisis are set forth below:

Reasons for not paying MFI loans

(Source: SOS 2011 Report.)

Sources of credit (in the absence of MFI loans)

39

According to the results of a study conducted by MicroSave titled, What are Clients doing Post the Andhra Pradesh MFI Crisis?, as quoted in the SOS 2011 report, 90 percent of the customers were willing to repay and the primary reason for customers not repaying their loans was that no new loans were being offered. The top three reasons why borrowers preferred MFIs were timely loans, convenient installments and low interest rates. The study further found that customers who borrowed from other sources, reduced the scale of their businesses, postponed expenditure or sold assets in the absence of availability of credit from MFIs. Some customers borrowed from moneylenders at exorbitantly high rates. Set out below are the effective interest rates that such borrowers agreed to pay to the moneylenders. Type Moneylender/ Pawn broker Weekly loan moneylender Daily Finance Corporations Loan amount (Rs.) Up to 200,000 2,000 to 10,000 2,000 to 10,000 Effective interest rate 30% to 120% 160% to 225% 78% to 120%

Outstanding loans to MFIs pertaining to around fifty lakhs borrowers aggregated approximately Rs. 7,000 crore. In the short run, this dampened the credit demand and encouraged credit indiscipline. The effect of falling repayment rates on MFIs businesses was severe and total. This drastic fall in disbursement very clearly conveys the manner in which business has been stunted by the rapidly falling repayment rates (Source: SOS 2011 report). The situation after the AP microfinance crisis MFIs have tried to continue with their businesses in other states after the promulgation of the AP MFI Ordinance and enactment of the AP MFI Act with the levels of liquidity they had and to the extent banks allowed them to draw from the already sanctioned limits. Disbursements by MFIs in the first half of Fiscal 2011 were consistent with prior periods and that might explain the growth even with a lacklustre second half. However, MFIs have since scaled down their operations and reduced both customers and loans outstanding in a bid to contain risks and maintain repayments to banks. The first quarter of Fiscal 2012 witnessed contraction in loan portfolios both on account of liquidity constraints and the compliance issues arising from regulatory guidelines of the RBI for NFBC-MFIs (Source: SOS 2011 report). Banks restricted their lending to MFIs and stopped fresh disbursements. Rating agencies scaled down their ratings across the sector. The impact of re-rating of risk and denial of credit to MFIs has been felt in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 (Source: SOS 2011 report). The Sa-Dhan 2011 Report considers action from the Central Government, the RBI, the Government of AP , banks, Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), in addition to involvement from industry associations such as the Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN) and itself, as important for the resolution of the AP microfinance crisis. The MFI Bill 2012 In July 2011, the Central Government released the Draft MFI Bill for public comment. The Draft MFI Bill was subsequently replaced by the MFI Bill 2012. The MFI Bill 2012 will require the approval of Indian Parliament as well as the assent of the President of India and publication in the Official Gazette before becoming a law. The MFI Bill 2012, which was presented before Indian Parliament on May 22, 2012, states that its provisions shall be effective notwithstanding anything inconsistent contained in any other law. Competitive landscape As of October 2010, a total of about Rs. 108.9 billion was outstanding in the hands of borrowers from the 10 largest MFIs in AP . Approximately 80.0 percent of the funding of this portfolio had come from banks and financial institutions. Faced with loan loss provisions to the extent of about Rs. 75.0 billion in respect of their lending to MFIs, banks were instrumental in developing a CDR package in respect of their larger MFI exposures (Source: SOS 2011 report). Of the larger MFIs in AP , SKS Microfinance and BASIX did not participate in the CDR package. Five MFIs Spandana, SHARE, Asmita, Trident and Future Financial Services participated in the CDR package amounting to more than Rs. 70.0 billion (Source: SOS 2011 report). The debt composition of the major MFIs that participated in the CDR package is set forth below:
Name of MFI Asmitha Future Financial Share Microfin Spandana Sphoorthy Trident Microfin Total (Source: SOS 2011 report) Total CDR exposure (Rs. in Crore) 1,234.0 98.9 2,160.3 2,854.0 125.7 6,473.0 Non-CDR exposure (Rs. in Crore) 140.5 60.6 241.5 471.9 23.5 938.0 Total debt (Rs. in Crore) 1,374.5 159.5 2,401.8 3,325.9 149.2 7,411.0

40

The restructured loans are required to be repaid by the MFIs listed above over seven years after a one year moratorium. The restructured loans carry a rate of interest of 12.0 percent (Source: SOS 2011 Report). Some of the small and mid-sized MFIs, which are ineligible for the CDR package, are now facing bankruptcy and some have ended their operations (Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report and SOS 2011 report).
Demand-supply scenario

The third edition of Inverting the Pyramid Report, published in 2009 by Intellecap, an independent industry research firm, estimates the total demand for microcredit to be approximately Rs. 330,050 crores and, as of 2009, MFIs met only 3.6 percent of this demand. The credit demand-supply gap has further widened in AP as MFI disbursements in the second half of Fiscal 2011 were only Rs. 8.5 crore as against disbursements of Rs. 5,035.0 crore in the first half of Fiscal 2011. A large part of this gap is currently being met by informal sources including moneylenders (Source: SOS 2011 report). However, this reduction does not reflect the fact that the demand for credit from poor households remains strong. NABARD estimates in its 2010 annual report that the AP microfinance crisis has created a credit gap of Rs. 4,000 crore in the state, which, if not fulfilled immediately, will have a serious impact on the productivity and financial strength of individuals. In relation to all other states in India, MFIs have collectively disbursed loans of Rs. 33,730 crore to clients and collected principal repayments of Rs. 27,320 crore during Fiscal 2011, with the top nine MFIs disbursing Rs. 26,920 crore during this period (Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report). The credit gaps in each state, provided in the Sa-Dhan 2011 report, on the basis of 2010 data, are as set forth below:

Rural client outreach Rural development is a key priority for the Government of India. As a result, MFIs focus on rural clients (Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report). According to the Sa-Dhan 2011 report, of 3.2 crores clients, rural clients constitute 52.0 percent. Rural client outreach is critical as financial exclusion in rural areas is a formidable challenge.

(Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report, based on 2010-11 data)

Demand for credit in rural India The demand drivers in rural India continue to be buoyant primarily due to following factors: Doubled Government expenditure on rural projects during the last three years: The Government of India has focused on rural development in the last few years and this has been a boon to the rural economy. The Central Governments various schemes have resulted in significantly higher disposable incomes for the rural population. These schemes have set a floor for wages of rural unskilled workers, leading to enhanced income and food demand in the rural economy. Set out below are details of allocation of Government resources under various rural schemes:

Three-fold increase in minimum support prices (MSP): The Government has consistently raised the MSPs for food grains which has resulted in increase in agricultural income and spending. MSP per quintal for items such as arhar, wheat and common paddy has seen a substantial rise at CAGRs of 14.8 percent, 12.0 percent and 11.2 percent, respectively, during the six-year period between Fiscal 2006 and Fiscal 2012 (on an advanced estimates basis). In comparison, the increase in MSP per quintal from Fiscal 1998 to Fiscal 2006 was 5.7 percent, 3.1 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively. (Source: RBI, available at http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Publications/ PDFs/025T_HBS120911.pdf, as of January 25, 2012 and the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, available at http://www.indg. in/agriculture/msp/MSP-English.pdf/, as of January 25, 2012). Record food production: The highest ever production of all food grains (including rice, wheat, coarse cereals and pulses) of around 24.2 crores tonnes was recorded in Fiscal 2011 (based on advance estimates), made possible due to a good monsoon, spread uniformly across the country (source: RBI, available at http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Publications/PDFs/017T_HBS120911.pdf, as of January 25, 2012). Increase in food inflation supported by agricultural growth: Rural population contributes 75.0 percent to Indias total population and about the same proportion to the low-income groups in India. Approximately 70.0 percent of rural Indias workforce remains primarily involved in agriculture and allied activities. Agriculture and allied activities contributed approximately 18.5 percent to Indias GDP in Fiscal 2011 at prices prevailing as of November 1, 2011. Government data shows that the food inflation for Fiscal 2011 was 11.4 percent and the commodity price index increased by around 10.0 percent during Fiscal 2011. High food prices imply a considerable rise in disposable rural income (source: Himanshu et al, Non-Farm Diversification and Rural Poverty Decline: A Perspective from Indian Sample Survey and Village Study Data, India Observatory, UK Department of International Development, Asia Research Centre, London School of Economics and Political Science, available at www.lse.ac.uk/collections/AsiaResearchCentre, as of January 25, 2012, key economic indicators prepared by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, available at http://eaindustry.nic.in/ Key_Economic_Indicators/Key_Economic_Indicators.pdf, as of February 23, 2012 and the Planning Commission, available at http:// planningcommission.nic.in/data/datatable/0211/data%201.pdf and http://planningcommission.nic.in/data/datatable/0211/data%2021. pdf, as of January 25, 2012). 42

NBFC-MFI directions and financial performance of MFIs Anticipating that pursuant to the enactment of the AP MFI Act, other state governments could start enacting their own legislations to regulate MFIs creating plurality of regulation which may leave scope for regulatory arbitrage, the RBI exercised its power to regulate NBFCs (Source: RBI Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India 2010-11). The RBI, pursuant to its decision to accept the recommendations of the Malegam Committee, brought NBFC-MFIs under a separate regulatory framework, through NBFC-MFI directions. Many aspects of the NBFC-MFI directions are similar to the conditions introduced earlier on May 3, 2011, when the RBI decided to maintain the eligibility of MFIs for Priority Sector Lending (PSL). Definition of NBFC-MFIs and qualifying assets NBFCs are not allowed under the NBFC-MFI directions to extend microfinance loans in excess of 10.0 percent of their total assets without qualifying as NBFC-MFIs. NBFC-MFIs are required to have minimum net owned funds of Rs. 50 million. Further, at least 85.0 percent of their net assets (i.e., total assets other than cash and bank balances and money market instruments) of NBFC-MFIs should be qualifying assets. Loans which satisfy the following criteria have been classified as qualifying assets under the NBFC-MFI directions: Rural household annual income of borrowers should not exceed Rs. 60,000 or urban and semi-urban household income of borrowers should not exceed Rs. 120,000. Loan amounts should not exceed Rs. 35,000 during the first cycle and Rs. 50,000 for the subsequent cycle, with total indebtedness of each borrower not exceeding Rs. 50,000. Tenor of loans above Rs. 15,000 should not be less than 24 months with prepayment without penalty. At least 75.0 percent of the total loans should be utilized by borrowers for the purpose of income generation. Loan should be extended without collateral. Loans to be repayable on weekly, fortnightly or monthly installments, at the choice of the borrower.

Asset classification and provisioning The aggregate loan provision to be maintained by NBFC-MFIs at any point in time shall not be less than the higher of: 1 percent of the outstanding loan portfolio, or 50 percent of the aggregate loan installments, which are overdue for more than 90 days and less than 180 days and 100 percent of the aggregate loan installments, which are overdue for 180 days or more.

The RBI has, through its circular dated March 20, 2012, deferred the implementation of the asset classification and provisioning norms prescribed for NBFC-MFIs until April 1, 2013. Fair Practices in lending and multiple lending NBFC-MFIs are not allowed to collect any security deposit or margin. Further, more than two NBFC-MFIs are not allowed to lend to the same borrower or to borrowers who are members of a Joint Liability Group (JLG) or a SHG. NBFC-MFIs are also required to comply with the guidelines on Fair Practises Code prescribed by the RBI through its circular dated March 26, 2012. The RBIs policy measures have resulted in MFIs becoming more selective in client acquisition in order to lend only to low-income borrowers, lend within reasonable limits of their customers ability to service the loans, set up prudent practices in relation to recoveries and introduce grievance redressal mechanisms (Source: SOS 2011 report). Pricing of credit Pricing of loans must consist only of interest charges, processing charges and - insurance premium. NBFC-MFIs are also required to maintain a ceiling on their aggregate margin of 12.0 percent. Further, a ceiling of 26.0 percent has been placed on the interest on individual loans and processing charges have been capped at 1.0 percent of the gross loan amount.

Sources of funding
Lending by banks The major form of funding remains loans from banks. Events in AP demonstrated the close relationship between asset quality of MFIs and the asset quality of banks. In effect, the bank loans to MFIs turned out to be pass-through funding, with the intervening institutional structure of MFIs with a balance sheet of their own becoming irrelevant. The defaults at the level of the customers of MFIs turned into potential (and in some cases, real) defaults to banks (Source: SOS 2011 report).

43

Following the AP crisis, banks did not sanction fresh loans, and stopped withdrawals from sanctioned loan accounts. Some banks recalled loans that were not due, ahead of the maturity date. Compared to 2010, loan disbursements by banks to MFIs in 2011 were markedly less by 30.0 percent. Only private sector banks increased their disbursements in 2011 by about 32.0 percent over 2010 (Source: SOS 2011 report). The interest rate on loans availed by the microfinance industry ranged from 12.0 percent to 13.0 percent. Larger MFIs have been able to get loans at relatively lower rate of interest compared to their smaller counterparts (Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report). PSL funds Historically, the microfinance industry has relied on PSL funds as a significant source of funds as compared to other bank funds. In early 2011, the RBI accepted the recommendations of the Malegam Committee and, in May 2011, the RBI decided to maintain the eligibility of MFIs for PSL funds, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions by MFIs. However, it withdrew the eligibility of certain other categories of NBFCs to obtain PSL funds from banks. A committee set up by the RBI and headed by Mr. M.V. Nair has suggested certain revised guidelines for priority sector lending by banks. The recommendations of this committee have not been accepted as yet by the RBI and are subject to comments from the public. The conditions specified for access to PSL funds by MFIs related to qualifying assets and pricing guidelines and were similar to those covered under the NBFC-MFI directions. External commercial borrowings NBFC-MFIs are allowed to draw ECBs up to US$10 million (or its equivalent amount) in a financial year. MFIN MFIN is a self-regulatory organization of NBFC-MFIs and sets standards for good governance and accountability in the microfinance sector. MFIN has laid down a Code of Conduct that addresses issues related to transparency in pricing, responsible lending, ethical collection practices, sharing of credit information and fair recruitment practices. MFIN has also adopted a whistle-blower policy and appointed an enforcement committee to ensure its members abide by its Code of Conduct (Source: http://www.mfinindia.org/, as of January 25, 2012). Highmark Certain MFIN members, including SKS Microfinance, have invested in Alpha Micro Finance Consultants Private Limited, which in turn has set up a credit information bureau called High Mark Credit Information Services Private Limited (High Mark) to build credit information systems and to improve credit risk management within the MFI sector (Source: http://www.mfinindia.org/, available as of January 25, 2012). High Mark commenced its credit information services during 2011 and a large number of MFIs, both for-profit and not-for-profit, have signed up. Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited, or CIBIL, and Equifax Credit Information Services Private Limited, India, have also been active in this sphere (Source: SOS 2011 report). OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS Your Company is one of the largest MFIs in India in terms of the total value of loans outstanding and the number of borrowers, as of March 31, 2011, and the only such company to be publicly listed in India (Source: SOS 2011 report). Your Company is primarily engaged in providing microfinance services to low-income individuals in India. Your Companys core business is providing small value loans and certain other basic financial services to its Members. Your Company classifies Members with outstanding loans as its Borrowers. Your Companys Members are predominantly located in rural areas in India and they are extended loans mainly for use in small businesses or for other income-generating activities and not for personal consumption. These individuals often have no, or very limited, access to loans from other sources, which your Company believes, typically charge very high rates of interest. Your Company utilizes a village-centered, group lending model to provide unsecured loans to its Members. This model relies on a form of social collateral and ensures credit discipline through peer support within the group. Your Company believes this model makes its Members prudent in conducting their financial affairs and prompt in repaying their loans. Failure by an individual Borrower to make timely loan payments will prevent other Members in the group from being able to borrow from your Company in future; therefore, the group will typically make the payment on behalf of a defaulting Borrower and the group will use peer support to encourage the delinquent Borrower to make timely payments, effectively providing an informal joint guarantee on the Borrowers loan. In addition to your Companys core business of providing micro-credit, it uses its distribution channel to provide certain other financial products and services that its Members may need. Since Fiscal 2010, we have operated certain pilot programmes involving feebased services and secured lending that your Company now intends to gradually convert into separate business verticals. These pilot programmes primarily relate to the making of loans to its Members for the purchase of certain productivity-enhancing products such 44

as mobile handsets, loans for meeting the working capital requirements of small general stores known as Sangam Stores, and loans against gold as collateral. In addition, your Company has been administering a group endowment life insurance policy for its Members. Your Company intends to expand its involvement in these other financial products and services to the extent consistent with its strategic aspirations and margins. Your Company intends to operate some of these businesses through one or more subsidiaries in order to distinguish these businesses from your Companys core business of providing micro credit. As of March 31, 2012, your Company had approximately 54 lakh Members, including 43 lakh Borrowers across 1,461 branches in 18 states in India, with a gross loan portfolio of Rs. 1668.9 crore.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
Your Company believes it has the following competitive strengths: Market leadership According to the SOS 2011 report, your Company is one of the largest MFIs in India in terms of the total value of loans outstanding and the number of borrowers, as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, your Company had approximately 54 lakh Members, of which 43 lakh were our Borrowers. As of the same date, your Company had 1,461 branches with a presence in 18 states and gross loan portfolio of Rs. 1,668.9 crore. The average loan size per active Borrower during Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011 was Rs. 3,920.6 and Rs. 6,585.3, respectively, as compared to an industry average of Rs. 5,709.0 during Fiscal 2011. The average number of Members per field level loan officer, or Sangam Manager, during the same periods was 517 and 477, respectively, as compared to an industry average of 363 during Fiscal 2011. The gross loan portfolio (which includes assigned loans and over-collateral towards assigned loans) per Sangam Manager, as of March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, was Rs. 16 lakh and Rs. 27 lakh, respectively. (Source: Sa-Dhan 2011 Report, in relation to the industry averages.) Your Company believes that its leading position in the microfinance sector enhances its reputation and credibility with its Members and lenders. This enhanced reputation and credibility has numerous benefits, including the ability to secure capital at lower costs, recruit and retain skilled employees, optimize staff productivity, retain its existing Borrowers and add new Members, and expand into new regions and product areas. Expertise in microfinance and ability to adapt to the changing regulatory environment Your Company believes that its long standing experience in the microfinance industry has given it a specialized understanding of the needs and behavior of the individuals in this segment across India, the complexities of lending to these individuals and issues specific to the microfinance industry in India and its processes. Your Company believes its expertise gives it a competitive advantage in this sector. As a result of its experience, your Company has developed skills in training its Members. Your Company uses its knowledge of its Members, including their culture, habits and education, to design customized financial products and pricing plans. Development of certain loan products is a result of its analysis of the capital requirements and cash flow of its Members businesses. Your Company believes this approach to developing the terms and components of its financial products gives it a competitive advantage. Further, consultation and dialogue with regulators and policy-makers in the recent past has provided it with an opportunity to understand their concerns. Your Company has already adopted several aspects of the new regulatory framework under the NBFC-MFI directions within its operations and has applied to the RBI for classification as an NBFC-MFI on December 21, 2011. For example, the ticket size of its income generating and mid-term loan products is less than Rs. 15,000, which helps it mitigate risks related to increased exposure to a particular borrower over an extended period. In addition, your Company provides its Borrowers with an option to repay their loans in weekly, fortnightly or monthly installments, subject to compliance with any applicable local laws. Your Company discontinued the collection of group insurance administrative charges from its Borrowers in January 2011. Further, your Company presently charges an effective interest rate of 24.6 percent in relation to its micro credit products, which is less than the effective interest rate of 26.0 percent prescribed under the NBFC-MFI directions. In addition to interest rates, your Company charges its Borrowers a loan processing fee of 1.0 percent of the loan amount disbursed. Well-capitalized balance sheet, low leverage and emphasis on asset and liability management Although your Companys financial condition has continued to deteriorate since the events in AP and it has incurred losses during Fiscal 2012 and relatively lower profits during Fiscal 2011, your Company believes that it has maintained sufficient financial discipline as well as a relative degree of financial strength during these periods. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, your Companys net worth was Rs. 1,780.5 crore and Rs. 434.6 crore, respectively. According to the SOS 2011 report, your Companys net worth was the highest among MFIs as of March 31, 2011. Your Companys capital adequacy ratio was 35.4 percent of risk-weighted assets as of March 31, 2012, which is well above the requirement of 15.0 percent of risk-weighted assets prescribed by the RBI under the NBFC-MFI directions. Further, your Company believes that it employs relatively lower levels of leverage in its operations (Source: SOS 2011 report). As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, your Company had a debt to equity ratio of 1.3 and 2.4, respectively. Your 45

Company believes that these factors provide it with a competitive advantage when borrowing funds for its operations. Further, your Company believes that its relatively higher net worth enhances its ability to absorb unforeseen stresses that may arise during times of financial difficulty. For example, your Company believes that its higher net worth was the primary reason for it being able to withstand writeoffs of a portion of its loan portfolio and creation of loan loss provisions for non-performing loans in future financial periods aggregating to Rs. 1,173.5 crore during Fiscal 2012. In addition to traditional cash flow management techniques, your Company also manages its cash flow through active asset and liability management strategies. The proportion of its liquid assets (i.e., cash and bank balances, including deposits placed as security against its borrowings) to its total assets was 41.1 percent as of March 31, 2012. Further, your Company has structured its model to primarily borrow on a long term basis while lending on short term basis. Your Company believes that this allows it to better meet the growing loan demands of an increasing membership even if external borrowings and funding sources face temporary disruption. Access to multiple sources of capital Your Company constantly strives to diversify its sources of capital. During Fiscal 2011, your Company raised Rs. 722.2 crore through its IPO and its aggregate incremental borrowing, or draw downs, from banks, and financial and other institutions was Rs. 2,733.4 crores for the same year. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, your Company had outstanding loans of Rs. 2,236.1 cro and Rs. 1,021.3 crore, respectively, from more than 20 banks, and financial and other institutions. Historically, the MFI sector has significantly relied on PSL funds from commercial banks. Your Company believes that the cost of such funds is considerably lesser than the cost of other bank funds. In early 2011, the RBI accepted the recommendations of the Malegam Committee and, in May 2011, the RBI decided to maintain the eligibility of MFIs to receive PSL funds, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Your Company complies with the conditions prescribed by the RBI and is, therefore, eligible for PSL bank funds. In addition, once your Company is registered as an NBFC-MFI, it will be eligible to access ECBs up to US$10 million (or its equivalent amount) in a financial year without requiring any prior approvals. In addition to such funding, your Company has in the past demonstrated its ability to fund the growth of its operations and loan portfolio through issuances of equity, private and publicly traded debt securities such as redeemable non-convertible debentures, commercial paper, loans with various maturities raised from domestic and international banks, and the securitization of different components of its loan portfolio. During Fiscal 2012, your Company received Rs. 866.5 crore from assignment of loans of Rs. 1036.6 crore and also recognized income of Rs. 34.6 crore in this period. Assigned loans accounted for 41.1 percent of its total outstanding borrowed funds and funds from assignment of loans as of March 31, 2012. Your Company also borrows from diverse lenders such as public and private sector domestic banks, foreign banks and other institutional investors. As of March 31, 2012, no single creditor represented more than 15.4 percent of its total indebtedness. CARE has provided your Company with a grading of MFI 2+ or MFI Two plus as an MFI, which is the second highest obtainable grading on an eight point scale with MFI 1 being the highest and MFI 5 being the lowest. Your Company has regularly obtained credit ratings for its debt securities to improve its access to, and reduce its cost of capital. Several of its assignment transactions during FY12 were provisionally rated by CARE at A1+(SO), which is considered to indicate a strong capacity for timely payment of short-term debt obligations and carries the lowest credit risk for such securitized pools. Established and scalable operating model Your Company recognizes that establishing and growing a successful rural microfinance business in India involves the significant challenge of addressing a borrower base that typically lives in remote locations. To address this problem, your Company believes that it has designed a scalable model and developed systems and solutions for the following three components that it believes are required to effectively scale up its business: Capital: Despite the challenges facing the industry, your Company has been able to obtain the capital funds required to finance its lending operations in states outside AP . Capacity: With its pan-India presence and extensive distribution network, your Company believes it has the capacity to provide products and services to a large number of Members. Cost reduction: Your Company believes it has implemented technology and process based systems that reduce the cost of conducting transactions across a widespread branch network and a substantial Member base.

Further, your Company has standardized its recruitment and training programmes and materials so that they can easily be replicated across the entire organization. This standardized approach also allows employees to efficiently move from region to region based on demand and growth requirements. Your Company business processes, from Member acquisition to cash collections, have been standardized and appropriately documented. Your Company branch offices are similarly structured, allowing for the quick rollout of new branches. In addition, the terms and conditions of your Companys loan products are generally uniform throughout India. Your Company has an internal audit department that conducts an appraisal of operational and financial procedures across the organization with the aim to monitor and strengthen internal controls, and to determine the level of compliance with internal and external policies. These internal audit procedures have received an ISO 9001:2008 quality certification for quality management system of 46

the audit processes. In addition, a leading accountancy firm conducts an internal audit every quarter of its operations based at your Companys head offices in Hyderabad. Your Company recognizes that conducting business through millions of transactions across thousands of rural locations involves substantial repeat interactions with its Members and its employees, thus increasing operating costs. To reduce its operating costs, your Company has deployed a sophisticated technology platform and continually makes improvements to it. This allows your Company to improve field-level productivity by simplifying data entry, improving the accuracy and efficiency of collections and improving fraud detection. Your Company also gathers data on items related to its Members and loan portfolio, which is used for management decisionmaking. Pan-India presence and rural distribution network As of March 31, 2012, your Company had approximately 54 lakh Members, including 43 lakh Borrowers and 1,461 branches across 18 states in India, with approximately 1,278 branches and 34 lakh Members in states other than AP . Further, as of March 31, 2012, your Company had 13,596 branch managers, assistant managers and Sangam Managers who comprised 84.0 percent of its total workforce. During Fiscal 2012, each of its Sangam Managers managed approximately 517 Members on the average. Your Company believes that its presence throughout India and its distribution network in rural India results in significant competitive advantages, particularly in the following areas: Distribution platform: Your Companys pan-India presence allows it to lend across the country and enables it to mitigate its exposure to local economic factors and disruptions resulting from political circumstances or natural disasters. Furthermore, its well-developed distribution network in rural India gives it the capability to offer a variety of financial products nationally in areas that your Company believes most companies do not currently reach. Product pricing power: Your Company believes that its national presence and the ability to access a large Member base give it the leverage to negotiate favorable terms with institutions that want to distribute their products through its network, which results in lower pricing for the products that are distributed to its Members. For example, your Company collaborated with Nokia for financing of mobile phones for its Members. Your Company was able to finance 2.4 lakh and 3.1 lakh mobile phones during Fiscal 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Experienced management team and Board Your Companys Board is composed of experienced investors, industry experts and management professionals. Out of a total of six Directors on its Board, three are independent Directors. Your Company believes that it has a strong senior management team to lead it, which includes our Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. M. Ramachandra Rao as well as our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. S. Dilli Raj. Your Companys senior management team continues to have members who have significant experience in the microfinance and financial services industry. Substantially, all members of your Companys senior management have over 20 years of experience with well-reputed national and multinational companies, particularly in the retail and commercial banking, and specialized lending and finance industries. The team has developed the knowledge to identify and offer products and services that meet the needs of its Members, while maintaining effective risk management and competitive margins. Your Companys middle management personnel also have significant experience and in-depth industry knowledge and expertise.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
Strengthen Client Protection Initiatives Pursuing Client Protection Initiatives will be a strategic priority for your Company. Your Company intends to invest up to Rs. 15 crore over the next three years towards these initiatives. Your Company has identified five elements to this strategy, being strengthening protection of privacy of its client data, transparent and responsible pricing of loans, redressal of grievances of its Members, avoidance of over-indebtedness and multiple borrowing among its Borrowers, and establishing appropriate collection practices by its employees. Your Company expects that the key drivers to achieve this strategy, among others, will be the voluntary adoption and maintenance of a ceiling of 3.0 percent per annum on the ROA from its micro-credit business, appointment of an independent ombudsman and further steps towards establishment of a robust grievance redressal mechanism for its Members. Your Company has appointed Mr. Verghese Jacob as the independent ombudsman in January 2012 and have established a dedicated toll free, customer care help-line to redress the grievances of its customers, in continuance of its efforts to establish a structure for customer protection and grievance redressal. Your Company intends to take further steps in this regard, such as conducting awareness campaigns about its recently established customer grievance redressal mechanisms, in order to increase the efficiency of these systems. Further, your Company has entered into an arrangement with ACCION International, a private, non-profit organization, to assess its client protection policies and processes through its SMART campaign and intend to enter into arrangements with other credible and independent agencies for this purpose. Your Company continues to place significant emphasis on compliance with corporate governance standards and has taken steps to realign the incentive system for its employees.

47

Your Company has progressively reduced its interest rates whenever its costs have decreased and presently charges an effective interest rate of 24.6 percent in relation to its micro credit products, which is less than the effective interest rate of 26.0 percent prescribed under the NBFC-MFI directions. Further, your Company intends to increase the use of information provided by external credit information agencies to approve new loans, besides conducting its internal checks and processes, in order to prevent instances of multiple lending and over-borrowing among its Borrowers. While such measures may affect its growth rate in the near term, your Company believes that these measures will reduce risk and enhance its competitiveness and, as a result, its profitability. Significant increase in lending activity in non-AP states to meet the unmet demand-supply gap As a result of the adverse impact of the events in AP , five other large MFIs, which together commanded a significant market share in AP and other states recently entered into a CDR package amounting to over Rs. 7,000 crore (source: SOS 2011 report). Banks and financial institutions do not, in the ordinary course, provide additional lending to entities undergoing such debt restructuring. As such, your Company believes that bank funding will be more readily available to MFIs that are not subject to any debt restructuring, such as your Company, and particularly for use and expansion in states other than AP . Industry sources estimate the total demand for micro-credit in India to be approximately Rs. 330,050 crore and as of 2009, MFIs met only 3.6 percent of this demand (source: Inverting the Pyramid Report, 3rd edition, published by Intellecap in 2009). The credit demand-supply gap has further widened in AP as MFI disbursements in the second half of Fiscal 2011 were only Rs. 8.5 crore as against disbursements of Rs. 5,040 crore in the first half of Fiscal 2011 (source: SOS 2011 report). In relation to all states in India, MFIs collectively disbursed loans of Rs. 33,730 crore to clients during Fiscal 2011, with the top nine MFIs disbursing Rs. 26,920 crore during this period (source: Sa-Dhan 2011 report). A large part of this gap is currently being met by informal sources, including moneylenders. Your Company believes this represents an attractive business opportunity for MFIs such as your Company. Your Company primarily intends to provide loans to its existing 34 lakh Members in states other than AP and believes that it already has the network that it requires to distribute loans in these 17 states that it has been operating in for the last five years, in order to meet a portion of this credit demand-supply gap. As of March 31, 2012, it had 1,278 branches and a gross loan portfolio of Rs. 1,320 crore in states other than AP , which constituted 79 percent of its total outstanding loan portfolio. As of that date, future receivables (i.e., principal amounts falling due after March 31, 2012) from its gross loan portfolio was Rs. 1,262.1 crore, of which approximately 99.4 percent was attributable to its non-A.P . future receivables. Diversification of revenue streams and cross selling of products and services Your Company has built a large distribution network in rural India. As of March 31, 2012, we had 13,596 branch managers, assistant managers and Sangam Managers who comprised 84.0 percent of its total workforce, across 1,461 branches in 18 states. Your Company believes it can leverage this network to distribute financial and non-financial products of other institutions to its Members at a cost lower than that which its competitors can provide. Your Companys network also allows such distributors to access a segment of the market to which many do not otherwise have access. While your Company continues to focus on its core business of providing micro credit services, it intends to diversify into other businesses by scaling up certain pilot projects involving fee-based services and secured lending, gradually converting them into separate business verticals. Your Companys objective in these other businesses is to focus on lending that will allow it to sustain high repayment rates, increase Member loyalty and also provide economic benefits to its Members and their families. Your Company believes that such other products and services offer higher operating margins as compared to micro credit under the new regulatory framework and may help it increase its overall ROA. Your Companys initiatives in relation to financial products and services other than micro credit include providing: loans to its Members for the purchase of mobile handsets in association with Nokia. During Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012, your Company financed 2.4 lakh and 3.1 lakh mobile phones, respectively. Your Company intends to expand this business further in the near future. loans to its Members under a pilot programme with Metro to operate local retail shops called kirana or Sangam stores to meet their working capital requirements, which in-turn were used to purchase supplies from Metro on a wholesale basis. Your Company had enrolled approximately 3,800 stores, including those operated by non-Members under this programme, as of March 31,2011. Your Company intends to further increase the number of stores in the near future and had enrolled 10,742 stores as of March 31, 2012. secured loans to its Members against gold as collateral. For this purpose, uour Company had started a pilot gold loan project with five branches, which was subsequently increased to 49 branches as of March 31, 2012, primarily across the states of Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Your Company intends to further expand this business to other states in India and intends to pursue this business through a subsidiary, subject to successful results from the pilot projects and receipt of any required regulatory approvals.

Optimize the cost structure Your Company provides collateral-free credit to a majority of its Members at their doorstep and its Sangam Managers assist with the 48

processes related to credit verification. While this helps its Borrowers save on travel costs, it results in high operating expenses for your Company, particularly personnel and administrative costs. Personnel costs contributed 63.6 percent and 61.8 percent to your Companys operating expenses during Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012, respectively. Your Company intends to optimize its cost structure by improving its ratio of Members per Sangam Manager, while realizing the benefits of economies of scale. Further, it intends to merge branches, both in AP and states other than AP . In addition, your Company intends to implement its growth objectives without adding a significant number of new branches or incurring substantial capital expenditure. Your Company intends to consolidate its Member base in the near future and expect to reduce costs associated with the acquisition of new Members, such as personnel costs, marketing and other administrative costs. There was a net reduction of approximately 918 branches during Fiscal 2012. Of these 918 branches, 384 were located in AP . In addition, your Company closed 78 branches in AP and terminated the services of approximately 1,200 employees in May 2012. As of March 31, 2012, your Company had 34 lakh Members in states other than AP and your Companys consolidation strategy involves completing its disbursement targets with this Member base in states other than AP . Other factors that your Company intends to focus on in order to optimize its cost structure include enhancing the productivity of its employees, introducing technology for expedient reporting and re-engineering its internal processes. Operational and financial highlights Beginning late Fiscal 2011 and continuing throughout Fiscal 2012, your company suffered losses largely because of regulatory developments related to AP MFI Act affecting the microfinance industry. During this period, the reduced level of credit flow from banks, due to the legislative uncertainty on MFI bill and desire for greater regulatory clarity, led to disbursement of fewer loans to your Companys members in states other than AP . As a result of the above, your Companys outstanding loan portfolio in other than AP states decreased in Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012. However, post the December 2, 2011 NBFC-MFI directions by RBI, your company obtained incremental draw-downs of Rs. 998 crore in Q4-FY12, which is 2.4 times larger than the sum of Rs. 417 crore obtained in 9M-FY12. Also, after a decline over the last 5 quarters in loan portfolio in states other than AP , your company registered quarter-onquarter growth in the loan portfolio in states other than AP in Q4-FY12. Despite, the aforementioned movements in loan portfolio in states other than AP , the average loan recovery rates in states other than AP stood at 95.5 percent for FY12.

Income from operations: Income from operations decreased by 62.9 percent to Rs. 435.7 crore in fiscal 2012 from Rs. 1,175.5 crore in fiscal 2011. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in average gross loan portfolio by 41.7 percent from Rs. 4,694.4 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 2,734.8 crore in fiscal 2012. The opening and closing gross loan portfolio for the fiscal 2012 was Rs. 4,110.7 crore (March 2011) and Rs. 1,668.9 crore (March 2012) respectively. Other income: Other income decreased by 61.1 percent to Rs. 36.6 crore in fiscal 2012 from Rs. 94.1 crore in fiscal 2011. The fall in other income is primarily due to decrease in income from group insurance administrative charges by Rs. 53.8 crore. Your Company discontinued collection of group insurance administration charges from your Companys borrowers in January 2011. There is a decrease in income from insurance commission by Rs. 8.2 crore, as your Company stopped the pilot project of distribution of new life insurance policies from May 2010. Interest income from fixed deposits increased by Rs. 4.3 crore in fiscal 2012 due to an increase in cash and bank balances from Rs. 557.9 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 689.9 crore in fiscal 2012. Other fee income increased by 46.3 percent from Rs. 3.9 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 5.7 crore in fiscal 2012. Other fee income relates to fee received from strategic alliance partners for financing their products, such as mobile phones and on the purchases made by the kirana stores owned by your Companys borrowers. Financial expenses: Your Companys financial expense represents 11.1 percent of the total expenses for fiscal 2012. Financial expenses decreased by 42.7 percent from Rs. 349.5 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 200.14 crore in fiscal 2012 due to a decrease in average borrowings by 48.1 percent from Rs. 2,879.6 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 1,493.1 crore in fiscal 2012. The opening and closing borrowings for the fiscal 2011 was Rs. 2,236.1 crore (March 11) and Rs. 1,021.3 crore (March 12) respectively. Employee benefit expenses: Personnel expenses consist of salaries and employee benefits. Personnel expenses decreased by 20 percent from Rs. 326.3 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 261.1 crore as of March 31, 2012, which was due to decrease in headcount from 22,733 at the end of fiscal 2011 to 16,194 at the end of fiscal 2012. Other expenses: Other expenses decreased by 11.2 percent from Rs. 170.4 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs. 151.3 crore in fiscal 2012. This decrease is primarily due to merger of 918 branches and decrease in travelling and conveyance expenses. Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization decreased by 38.0 percent to Rs. 10.0 crore in fiscal 2012 from Rs. 16.1 crore in fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the lower net addition of fixed and intangible assets such as computers, vehicles, software and furniture of Rs. 2.6 crore in fiscal 2012 from Rs. 22.1 crore in fiscal 2011. Provisions and write-offs: Provisions and writeoffs represented 65.3 percent of total expenses for fiscal 2012 and increased by 396.8 percent from Rs. 236.2 crore in fiscal 2011 to Rs 1,173.5 crore in fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in bad debts written off of Rs. 1,089.8 crore or 1,381.0 percent, primarily due to additional write-offs in respect of the AP loan portfolio. Risk management Risk is an integral part of your Companys business and sound risk management is critical to the success of the organization. As a financial intermediary, your Company is exposed to risks that are particular to its lending and the environment within which it operates. Your 50

Company has put in place an Enterprise-wide Risk Management (ERM) programme based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework. Your Company has identified and implemented comprehensive policies and procedures to assess, monitor and manage risk throughout your Company. The risk management process is continuously improved and adapted to the changing global risk scenario. The agility of the risk management process is monitored and reviewed for appropriateness with the changing risk landscape. The process of continuous evaluation of risks includes taking stock of the risk landscape on an event-driven basis. Your Company has an elaborate process for Risk Management. This rests on the three pillars of Business Risk Assessment, Operational Controls Assessment and Policy Compliance processes. Major risks identified by the businesses and functions are systematically addressed through mitigating actions on a continuing basis. These are discussed with both the Management Committee and the Audit Committee. Some of the risks relate to competitive intensity and changing legal and regulatory environment. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the risk management policies in relation to various risks and regulatory compliance issues. Internal Audit and Internal Control Your Company has well established Internal Audit Department in place, which sees to the adherence to systems, policies and procedures. The guidelines received on various issues of control from Reserve Bank of India, Government of India, Board and the Audit Committee of the Board have become part of the Internal Control System for better compliance at all levels. The Internal Audit Department comprises 328 employees, headed by a senior management personnel with reporting lines to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Board and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The Internal Audit department carries out a regular independent appraisal of various activities undertaken by your Company through its branches, regional offices and conducts various purpose-based audits also as per the necessity/ periodicity as decided by the Audit Committee of Board from time to time. The scope of various audits is modified suitably on a continuous basis to cope with the ever changing scenario of the microfinance industry. The Internal Audit of the head office has been outsourced to KPMG with a view to having an external agency review the internal control process of your Company. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the performance of the Internal Audit on a continuous basis, gives directions to its functionaries and reviews effectiveness of the Internal Control Systems. The Internal Audit function has been certified with ISO 9001:2008. Your Companys internal control systems are commensurate with the nature of its business and the size and complexity of its operations. These are routinely tested and cover all branches, regional offices and head office. Significant audit observations and follow-up actions thereon are reported to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews adequacy and effectiveness of your Companys internal control environment and monitors the implementation of audit recommendations including those relating to strengthening of your Companys risk management policies and systems. Human Resources Human Resources (HR) functions focus during the year was Employee Engagement, Change Management and Building Human Capital. The fiscal was filled with major challenges of sustaining employee morale, change management and balancing growth aspirations of both individuals and organization. HR ably carved and implemented various interventions creating positive as well as supportive environment to overcome the challenges: HR further strengthened the process of inclusive culture at your Company by analyzing feedback of employees across 18 states and resolving the same in a timely manner with minimal escalations. Your Company was able to attract talent to fill gaps in leadership roles. HR has ensured strict compliance to applicable laws and reduced the risk by efficient handling of various notices and visits of officials. HR has continued interventions in building confidence and boosting the morale of staff during this year, thus enabling employees to manoeuvre during the challenging period in a positive manner. Cumulative coverage of ESOPs to employees is 77.0 percent with primary focus on retention, productivity and co-creation of wealth as well as a sense of ownership in your Company. HR supported field staff for speedy mediclaims and ensured proper checks to reduce the risk of rejections. Strengthened the disciplinary process with focus to enhance employee conduct and reduce employee grievances while providing fair chance. Total learning hours during the year were recorded as 86,928 across India with primary focus to enhance behavioural and managerial skills of employees. Also, aimed at building leadership pipeline to meet the future requirements within. Your Company has a dedicated team of 223 trainers who have successfully delivered 2,13,302 hours of technical training for field force in nine major Indian languages. Training covers areas like processes, products and policies with a robust testing mechanism measuring the effectiveness of programmes. In addition to the mandatory process trainings, your Company trained employees extensively on Sa-Dhan Code of Conduct, SMART principles of Customer Protection and Ethical Staff behavior (SKS CoC).

The manpower distribution is: field staff including regional office employees 15,867 (98 percent) and head office staff - 327 (2 percent). Overall employee strength of your Company is 16,194 as on March 31, 2012. Attrition rate observed during FY11-12 was 37.3 percent. Product pricing power: Your Company believes that its national presence and the ability to access a large Member base give it the leverage to negotiate favorable terms with institutions that want to distribute their products through its network, which results in lower pricing for the products that are distributed to its Members. For example, your Company collaborated with Nokia for financing of mobile phones for its Members. Your Company was able to finance 2.4 lakh and 3.1 lakh mobile phones during Fiscal 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Information Technology Technology combined with business process change brings the greatest return. Information technology provides the opportunity to update and innovate business processes. Through such innovation, technology can become lever in creating the potential for an industry to achieve dramatic increases in scale. The value that technology delivers when it is used as a catalyst for change and an enabler of new business models has been seen repeatedly. Emerging markets require innovative, appropriate technologies that are designed for scale. Innovation should find a balance between the best that technology has to offer and the constraints of the local context. It also needs to find a balance between simply adhering to existing business practices and driving toward business model innovation. Your Company is focused on technology solutions that drive us to exponential growth and it is actively working on following areas: Initiate cost-effective total Branch connectivity solution and strengthen existing communication channels. Centralization of data for real-time decision-making. Building strong business intelligence reporting and analytics capability. Consolidation of network, storage and hardware infrastructure by using cloud and virtualization services to drive economies of scale. Use of advanced communication channels like video conferencing to increase productivity & efficiencies. Build robust a framework to strengthen technology assets, artifacts and data. Your Company believes the execution of the above initiatives will help it to achieve its goals.

Fund raising Your Companys debt funding sources are broad based and as of March 31, 2011, its total outstanding borrowings and funds from assignment of loans from public sector banks, domestic private banks, foreign banks, and financial and other institutions were 43.1 percent, 33.0 percent, 7.8 percent and 16.1 percent, of its total borrowed funds and funds from assignment of loans, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, its total outstanding borrowings and funds from assignment of loans from public sector banks, domestic private banks, foreign banks, and financial and other institutions were 56.9 percent, 27.4 percent, 5.2 percent and 10.5 percent of its total borrowed funds and funds from assignment of loans, respectively. Following the introduction of the AP MFI Ordinance and the AP MFI Act and the subsequent events in AP , lending banks have ceased to provide credit in respect of its outstanding AP loan portfolio. Funding for its non-AP loan portfolio continued, albeit at substantially reduced levels, given the regulatory uncertainty as well as the on going stress in our AP loan portfolio. However, as a result of greater regulatory clarity in the last quarter of Fiscal 2012 after the issuance of the NBFC-MFI directions by the RBI on December 2, 2011, your Company is able to access Rs. 997.5 crore in incremental funds from bank borrowings and loan portfolio assignments and was able to increase its new loan disbursements in non-AP states during the last quarter of Fiscal 2012 by 146.5 percent. Furthermore, one of the key recommendations of the Malegam Committee was maintaining priority sector status for MFIs. In early 2011, the RBI accepted its recommendations of the Malegam Committee and, in May 2011, the RBI decided to maintain the eligibility of MFIs for PSL, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions in relation to qualifying assets and pricing by MFIs. However, it withdrew the eligibility of certain other categories of NBFCs to obtain PSL funds. Your Company expects this perceived change in its policy by the RBI to reduce some of the strain experienced by it in accessing bank funds as a result of the events in AP . In addition, in December 2011, the RBI has permitted NBFC-MFIs to access external commercial borrowings up to US$10 million (or its equivalent amount) in a financial year without requiring any prior approvals. Cash management All of your Companys disbursements and collections from Borrowers are done in cash, making cash management an important element of the business. To reduce the potential risks of theft, fraud and mismanagement, your Company has implemented an integrated cash management system since July 2009 that was operational in approximately 1,365 of its branches as of March 31, 2012. The system utilizes an Internet banking software platform that interfaces with various banks to provide your Company with up-to-date real-time cash information for these branches and the loan activity in them. Your Company believes this integrated system augments its management information systems and facilitates its bank reconciliations, audits and cash flow management. The system also reduces errors. Your Company has adopted a cash investment policy that limits cash investments to interest-bearing fixed deposit accounts. Your Company does not invest our cash in any other instruments or securities. 52

Distribution network Your Companys fund-based and fee-based products are distributed by its branch managers, assistant managers and Sangam Managers, who use weekly Sangam meetings as a distribution platform. During FY12, each of its Sangam Managers managed approximately 517 Members on an average. As of March 31, 2012, your Company had 13,596 branch managers, assistant managers and Sangam Managers, who comprised 84.0 percent of our total workforce. As of March 31, 2012, we had 1,461 branches. Administrative support staff and management personnel at our area and regional offices provide support to our branches. These personnel are typically locally hired and trained so that they have a strong understanding of the local areas in which they will work. We ensure, however, that they are not appointed to the same village or region of villages to avoid a conflict of interest. In many cases, our Sangam Managers come from the same villages our Members reside in. We believe this has the additional benefit of creating additional employment in the rural villages in which we operate. We train each employee through a two-month programme that covers both financing principles and field operations. In addition, we also maintain a direct customer contact programme (Sangam Leader Meeting). As part of this programme, Members in a Sangam elect a Sangam leader to serve as the key contact and relationship person for the Sangam with our organization. We conduct Sangam Leaders Meetings to inform them of our current and historical events, which allow them to better communicate the objectives of our organization to our Members and better understand their expectations of our services.

New initiatives We have built a large distribution network in rural India. As of March 31, 2012, we had 13,596 branch managers, assistant managers and Sangam Managers who comprised 84.0 percent of our total workforce, across 1,461 branches in 18 states. We believe we can leverage this network to distribute financial and non-financial products of other institutions to our Members at a cost lower than that which our competitors can provide. Our network also allows such distributors to access a segment of the market to which many do not otherwise have access. While we continue to focus on our core business of providing micro-credit services, we intend to diversify into other businesses by scaling up certain pilot projects involving fee-based services and secured lending, gradually converting them into separate business verticals. Our objective in these other businesses is to focus on lending that will allow us to sustain high repayment rates, increase Member loyalty and also provide economic benefits to our Members and their families. We believe that such other products and services offer higher operating margins as compared to micro-credit under the new regulatory framework and may help us increase our overall ROA. We currently offer certain loan products that Members can use to purchase products that we believe will increase the productivity of Members and their businesses. We are selective about the products for which we issue such loans. To ensure our loan is used for the purchase of the specified product, we first enter in to a strategic relationship with the supplier of the product that we have selected and specify that the loan disbursement will be made directly to the supplier of the product rather than to the Member. We have two programmes under this category, namely Mobile Phone Loans and Sangam Store Loans. Mobile Phone Loans After a successful pilot programme with Nokia during FY10-11 for financing of mobile phones for our Members, we extended this initiative to 11 states in India. The annual effective interest rate of the mobile phone loans programme is 26.0 percent and the loan processing fee is 1.0 percent. We are also paid a processing/ referral fee by Nokia and its distributors. The term of this loan is typically 25 weeks. The price of the mobile phones financed by us ranges from Rs. 1,800 to Rs. 3,000. Principal and interest payments are due on a weekly basis during the term of the loan. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, Mobile Phone Loans constituted 0.4 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively, of our total outstanding loan portfolio. Sangam Store Loans We are also undertaking a pilot project involving a business-to-business loan programme with Metro to fund the working capital requirements of our Members and certain non-members who own and operate kirana or Sangam stores. The programme allows these stores to purchase their inventory of consumer goods and groceries from Metro at wholesale prices. Loan amounts range from Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 12,500 and are interest free. The term of the loan is seven days. Non-members are serviced on the basis of cash-on-delivery. We may also offer credit to non-members upon completing satisfactory credit appraisals and obtaining requisite approvals. We receive a fixed commission from Metro for the total purchases a store makes from it while utilizing our productivity loan. Gold Loans For the year 2008, India was the worlds largest consumer of gold due to a strong preference for gold jewellry among Indian households and its widespread use as a savings instrument (Source: India Gems and Jewellery: A Sector Study published by Export-Import Bank of India in February 2010). During FY11, we launched a gold loan pilot product in five branches across the states of Gujarat and Karnataka under the name of Swarnapushpam to provide personal or business loans to our Members to meet their short-term liquidity requirements. These loans are secured by gold jewellry. This programme was subsequently extended to 49 branches, primarily across the states of Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh in India. As of March 31, 2012, we had 326 employees working at these 49 branches. The loan amount ranges from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 100,000. Loan repayments can be made in full at maturity, or equated monthly installments or quarterly installments and the tenure may be up to 12 months, at the option of the borrower. In addition, there are no penal or preclosure charges and the borrower can choose to make partial prepayments. The annual effective interest rate of the gold loans typically varies between 12.0 percent and 25.3 percent, and is determined based on the loan-to-value ratio, tenure of the loan and the repayment frequency. As such, our gold loan products do not qualify as micro-credit products. As of March 31, 2012, our gold loan portfolio was Rs. 26.5 crore, which constituted 3.5 percent of our total outstanding loan portfolio as of March 31, 2012. We intend to operate our gold loan business through a subsidiary, subject to successful results from the pilot projects and receipt of any required regulatory approvals.

1. 2.

Corporate information SKS Microfinance Limited (the Company) is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provision of the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act). The Company is a non-deposit accepting non-banking financial company or NBFC-ND registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Its shares are listed on two stock exchanges in India. The Company is engaged primarily in providing micro finance services to women in the rural areas of India who are enrolled as members and organized as Joint Liability Groups (JLG). The Company has its operation spread across 18 states. In addition to the core business of providing micro-credit, the Company uses its distribution channel to provide certain other financial products and services to the members. Programs in this regard primarily relate to providing of loans to the members for the purchase of certain productivity-enhancing products such as mobile handsets, loans for meeting the working capital requirements of small general stores known as Sangam stores and loans against gold as collateral. Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). The Company has prepared these financial statements to comply in all material respects with the Accounting Standards notified by Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, (as amended), the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and the provisions of the RBI as applicable to a non banking financial company. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention except interest on loans which have been classified as non-performing assets and are accounted for on realisation basis. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year, except for the change in accounting policy explained below. 2.1. Summary of significant accounting policies a. Change in accounting policy

Presentation and disclosure of financial statements During the year ended March 31, 2012, the revised Schedule VI notified under the Companies Act 1956, has become applicable to the Company, for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The adoption of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However, it has significant impact on presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the requirements applicable in the current year. b. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the managements best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. c. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income on loans given is recognised under the internal rate of return method. Income including interest or discount or any other charges on non-performing asset is recognised only when realised. Any such income recognised before the asset became non-performing and remaining unrealised shall be reversed. Interest income on deposits with banks is recognised on a time proportion accrual basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

i. ii.

iii. Membership fees from members are recognised on an upfront basis. The Company has discontinued the collection of membership fees since January 2011. iv. Loan processing fees are amortised over the tenure of the loan on straight-line basis. In accordance with the RBI guidelines for securitisation of standard assets, the Company accounts for any loss arising from assignment/ securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/ premium arising from securitisation is

v. 79

amortised over the life of the underlying portfolio loans/ securities.

vi. Commission income on insurance agency activities is recognised on accrual basis. vii. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established by the balance sheet date. viii. All other income is recognised on an accrual basis. d. Tangible fixed assets

All fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. e. i. ii. f. Intangible assets Goodwill is amortised using the straight-line method over a period of five years. Computer software costs are capitalised and amortised using the written down value method at a rate of 40% per annum. Depreciation Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided on the written down value method as per the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 which is also as per the useful life of the assets estimated by the management. Fixed assets costing up to Rs.5,000 individually are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. Impairment

i. ii. g.

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/ external factors. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. h. Leases

Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the lower of the fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are recognised as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are capitalised. A leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset or the useful life envisaged in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is lower. Leases where the lessor effectively retains, substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straightline basis over the lease term. i. Investments

Investments which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Current investments are carried in the financial statement at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the carrying amount and disposal proceeds are charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss. j. Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

80

k. i. ii.

Foreign currency transactions All transactions in foreign currency are recognised at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the exchange rate prevailing at the close of the financial year.

iii. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on the restatement of Companys monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise. l. Retirement and other employee benefits Retirement benefits in the form of provident fund are a defined contribution scheme. The contributions to the provident fund are charged to the statement of profit and loss of the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the provident funds. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year. Actuarial gains/ losses are immediately The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/ losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.

i. ii. iii.

iv. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. 81 m. Income taxes Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961, enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available. n. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividend and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends related to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. o. Provisions

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of

resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. p. Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. q. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise cash in hand and cash at bank and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. r. Share based payments

In case of stock option plan, measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the fair value method. Compensation expense is amortised over the vesting period of the option on the straight line basis. s. i. Classification of loan portfolio Loans under JLG are classified as follows:
Andhra Pradesh Less than 180 days Overdue for 180 720 days Overdue over 720 days Other States Less than 8 weeks Overdue for 8 weeks 25 weeks Overdue for more than 25 weeks

Asset classification Standard assets Non-performing assets Sub-standard assets Loss assets

Overdue refers to interest and/ or installment remaining unpaid from the day it became receivable. ii. All other loans and advances are classified as standard, sub-standard, doubtful, and loss assets in accordance with the extant Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007, as amended from time to time. t. i. Provisioning policy for portfolio loans and loan assets under assignment/ securitisation For the state of Andhra Pradesh:

The Government of Andhra Pradesh promulgated The Andhra Pradesh Micro Finance Institution (Regulation of Money Lending) Ordinance 2010 on October 15, 2010, subsequently enacted the same as The Andhra Pradesh Micro Finance Institution (Regulation of Money Lending) Act, 2011 (Act 1 of 2011) on December 31, 2010 and notified by Gazette on January 1, 2011 (AP MFI Act). In compliance with the said Ordinance/ Act, the frequency of the JLG loan repayments in the state of Andhra Pradesh changed from a weekly to a monthly basis. In January 2011, a sub-committee of the Central Board of Directors of the RBI (the Malegam Committee), in its recommendations, suggested that the provision for loan loss should be made with reference to the ageing of the overdue loan installments. Subsequent to this, RBI vide its circular dated January 19, 2011, addressed to banks, stated that the problems afflicting the Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) sector are not necessarily on account of any credit weakness per-se but were mainly due to environmental factors and extended the special regulatory asset classification benefit to restructured MFI accounts as well.

82

Due to the continued evolving environment, with no precedence, following the enactment of AP MFI Act and the resultant impact on the field operations in Andhra Pradesh the Company reassessed it estimate on the portfolio in the state of Andhra Pradesh as follows:
Asset classification Standard assets Sub-standard assets Loss assets Arrear period Less than 180 days Overdue for 180 - 720 days Overdue over 720 days Provision (%) 0.25% 10% 100%

The above-mentioned estimates for the provisioning of the loan portfolio in the state of Andhra Pradesh are based on the asset classification and provisioning norms as prescribed in the Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007. Further, on December 2, 2011, the RBI, vide its circular no. DNBS.CC.PD.No. 250/03.10.01/2011-12, introduced a new category of NBFCs - Non Banking Financial Company-Micro Finance Institutions (NBFC-MFIs) whereby the directions for NBFCs to be registered as NBFC-MFI have been notified. These directions provide the regulatory framework, including the prudential norms for asset classification and provisioning, applicable to microfinance institutions on being registered as NBFCMFIs. The norms relating to asset classification and provisioning were to be applicable with effect from April 1, 2012 to all NBFCs registered as NBFC-MFI. However, subsequent to the above circular, the RBI (vide its circular dated March 20, 2012) deferred the implementation of the asset classification and provisioning norms, laid down in the NBFC-MFI Directions, to April 1, 2013. The Company continues to apply the estimates given in the table above on the portfolio in the state of Andhra Pradesh as at March 31, 2012. ii. For states other than Andhra Pradesh

Loans are provided for as per the managements estimates, subject to the minimum provision required as per Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 as amended from time to time. The provisioning norms adopted by the Company for JLG loans are as follows:
Asset Standard assets Sub-standard assets Loss assets Arrear period Less than 8 weeks Over 8 weeks - 25 weeks More than 25 weeks Estimated Provision adopted by the Company Note 1 50% Write Off

Note 1: Standard asset provision is linked to the Portfolio at Risk (PAR) as shown below: Portfolio at risk 0 1% Above 1% to 1.5% Above 1.5% to 2% Above 2% Estimated Provision adopted by the Company (% of Standard Assets) 0.25% 0.50% 0.75% 1.00%

iii. Provision for losses under assignment arrangements is made as higher of the incurred loss and provision as per the Company provisioning policy for JLG loans subject to the maximum guarantee given to respective assignee bank or financial institution. iv. All other loans and advances are provided for in accordance with the extant Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007, as amended from time to time. v. All overdue loans where the tenure of the loan is completed and in the opinion of the management amount is not recoverable, are written off.
