REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

Geodesic fiscal 2010 was a "mixed-bag year". Geodesic, for the first time, saw a decline in our growth during fiscal 2010 after having achieved a sustained growth rate, year on year during the last ten years. The global recession has had a major impact on the financial performance of companies around the world in virtually every industry in fiscal 2010, and Geodesic was no exception. However, we do not wish to cite recession, global meltdown or difficult environment as excuses. We are planning to include counter measures to handle these downturns going forward.

Thanks to our fiscal strength and prudent approach to investment, a strong pipeline of new products and services, marketing reach and addressing newer segments helped us tide over the difficult business environment. We responded to the uncertain economic environment with speed and agility to cover lost ground but at no point in time, did we sacrifice on innovation, employee motivation, customer satsfaction, acquisitions and building partnerships with like-minded companies.

Geodesic continued its focus on developing technologies that allow people to communicate and collaborate with one another across multiple digital devices using a universal interface. Geodesics flexible and unified content, communication and collaboration platform named Continuum helps us target the enterprise and retail consumer markets with ease.

Geodesic designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication and Internet devices. These devices are pre-loaded with our communication and collaboration software to address last mile connectivity issues and remote data processing by Governments, Banking and Micro-finance companies.

Geodesic grossed revenues of Rs 637 crore in 2010 as against Rs 653 crore in 2009. Our earnings for fiscal 2010 was Rs 224 crore as against Rs 264 crore in fiscal 2009. The net increase in cash flow for fiscal 2010 was Rs 21 crores.

Revenues declined across most segments primarily driven by weakness in purchasing technology products globally and the unfavorable economic environment. Primary factors contributing to the decline include the following:

- Revenue from unified communication, collaboration and CRM declined refecting delayed purchases of technology and productivity software systems. A price reduction of 25% in license fee for existing and long served customers along with a decline in the uptake of licenses by system integrators.

- Revenue from our Mobile media and VAS division decreased across device manufacturers and retail consumers. The decline in revenue is primarily due to lower shipment of smart phones than the projected quantity and price reduction across all products for the retails consumers during the last 12 months.

The above declines were partially offset by increased revenue derived from the electronic computing division, refecting Geodesics ability to reorient its products and cover lost ground in terms of revenue and creating newer market segments.

Operating income decreased primarily refecting decreased revenue. Operating expenses including research and development costs increased along with increased general, administrative and sales and marketing expenses aided by increased head-count related expenses, cost of revenue, and support costs.

Geodesic derived its revenues from the following segments during fiscal 2010:

ENTERPRISE OFFERING: Geodesic offers its unique enterprise solutions to and derives its revenues from Enterprise customers including Banking & Financial Services Insttutions, Portals and Publishers, State and Central Government, Telecom Network Operators, Handset Manufacturers, Educational Insttutions, Small/Medium & Large Enterprises. Our strong Business Development team ensures we reach out to enterprises across the globe using a combination of a direct sales team and system integrators / partners/ value added resellers.

RETAIL OFFERING: The Mundu stack of products are retailed across www.mundu.com, multiple application stores including Nokias Ovi Store, Apples App Store, Palm Store, Blackberry Stores etc. We launched Spokn- our Internet telephony product across www.spokn. com and application stores. Our products have had great editorial and user reviews besides winning GSM Asia, PC Magazine and C|net awards.

Geodesics exhaustive list of products and services are mostly derived out of Continuum and address multiple market segments. Following products and services were sold/ licensed during fiscal 2010:

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS & SERVICES:

Continuum: A comprehensive unified content management, communication, collaboration and CRM system that lets employees communicate and collaborate with customers, prospects, vendors and other employees.

Spyder: A stand-alone Customer Relationship Management system that aligns customer/ prospects by product, contacts and campaigns.

Web Services: Customization and integration services Geodesic undertook to ensure Continuum and Spyder integrate well with existing and other enterprise applications.

We acquired our enterprise customers using multiple strategies and channels. We deployed a strong direct sales team besides building a global business development team to ensure we have adequate partners and system integrators to reach out to different geographies. Our efforts paid and we have added a host of new countries to our list of geographies we address as markets.

Our pricing has remained consistent but the uncertain economic condition forced us to reduce our license fee by almost 25% during this year. Our move to reduce our license fees pro-actively during this economic crisis was appreciated by our long-standing customers. We have seen a lot more interaction with these customers on their new technology requirements and needs.

RETAIL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES:

Mundu IM: An interoperable messenger that incorporates AIM, Facebook, GTalk, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo services into a single frame and is widely used on multiple mobile platorms.

Mundu SMS: An easy to use SMS application on the mobile phone and desktops using Internet as a communication medium. Traditional SMS costs a substantial amount of money per message, however Mundu SMS lets users send messages at 1/5th the cost.

Mundu TV: Live television streaming on mobile phones across 2G/2.5G/3G/ Wi-Fi/ CDMA and desktops. Mundu TV streams over 20 channels and offers consumers a choice of news, business news, sports, entertainment and video on demand services.

Geodesic and its subsidiaries launched our IM and radio services across several telecom network operators, portals and handset vendors, providing us with an opportunity to address more than 350 million potential subscribers for our range of products and services.

Our pricing model includes subscription, per device or per user per year options. Spokn and Mundu SMS also include usage fees coupled with the subscription fee. We also offered Mundu IM OSE (Open Standards edition) for the iPhone as a free product but supported by advertisements during fiscal 2010. Our user acquisition costs have remained well below industry standards due to unique business models we implemented.

ELECTRONIC COMPUTING - ENTERPRISE PRODUCT OFFERING:

Geodesic and its subsidiaries added over 45 new customers during the year and we hope to continue the trend in future periods.

The uncertain economic conditions opened up a huge opportunity to acquire people talent and Geodesic did not let this opportunity go past it. We acquired great young talent from top institutes in the country and acquired experienced people from a host of great companies to strengthen our senior and middle management besides supplementing our growth going forward. We added more than 75+ people during the course of the year.

Geodesic retained its culture of intrapreneurship and embraced it as one of our fundamental strengths. Our culture encourages ideation and collaboration to address complex technical challenges. In addition, we welcome individual thinking and creativity. Many of our people are bikers, photographers, avid trekkers, sportsmen of repute and above all equity holders of Geodesic.

Geodesic forged a major alliance with Zee Entertainment Enterprise Ltd to form a new company that goes by the name ITM Digital Private Limited to address the growing need of consumers to converge entertainment and information on multiple digital devices and on three screens (TV/desktop/Mobile) that consumers are used to.

Geodesic incorporated Geodesic GridPoint Energy Private Limited to address growing concerns of energy losses in the transmission and distribution systems.
