estate funds, venture capital funds and start-up funding. AIFs offer a more comprehensive range of investment opportunities and

The Profit Before Tax was Rs. 918.49 Lacs and the Profit After Tax was Rs. 771.74 Lacs for the financial year under review as against Rs. 145.37 Lacs and Rs. 101.91 Lacs, respectively for the previous financial year.

On consolidated basis, Total Income for the financial year under review was Rs. 9661.49 Lacs as against Rs. 6073.67 Lacs for the previous financial year registering increase of 59.07%.

To broaden the horizon of its existing business activities, the Company has entered into Limited Liability Partnership with Mr. Nikhil Katariya and Freedom Allianz Consultancy Private Limited to form Urushya Wealth Management LLP for the purpose of investing into and managing Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs).

In recent years, AIFs have gained significant attraction due to its ability to generate higher returns by investing in funds such as real estate funds, venture capital funds and start-up funding. AIFs offer a more comprehensive range of investment opportunities and alternative asset management methods. Alternate Investment Funds are considered a valuable addition to a well-diversified investment portfolio, as they provide exposure to alternative assets that can generate higher returns and offer low correlation to traditional investments.

The Company aims to generate superior returns through the AIF, with focus on cash flows without compromising safety and security by investing in businesses which are not able to secure conventional credit funding at prevailing market rates owing to various reasons.

Operational Review

In 2012-13, your Company''s total Income from Operations stood at Rs. 1201.31 Lakhs as against Rs. 1276.68 Lakhs during the previous year. Your Company continued its focus on fee based activities (Investment Banking) and income therefrom was to Rs. 730.81 Lakhs as against Rs. 991.13 Lakhs during the previous year. It continues to be thrust area for the Company inspite of subdued performance for the year under consideration.

Income from Capital Market Operation for the year has been Rs. 124.98 Lakhs as against Rs. 146.62 Lakhs during the previous year. Income from Other Sources was at Rs. 70.82 Lakhs as against Rs. 174.68 Lakhs during the previous year.

Though the performance is less than expectations your company has performed reasonably considering overall economic environment characterized by slump in economy, rising NPA of Banks and decline in fresh investment and overall stagnation.

Level of activity in Depository Participant Services are linked to Stock Broking Services and both are moving slowly.

Currency derivative trading is yet to pick up at the exchange platform. Volume of business is expected to pick up gradually with the market sentiment.

Retail financial products distribution business has been facing negative market sentiment and it is being reflected in the performance of this segment. The Company is in the process to commence trading in the Debt Segment introduced by the NSE recently. Performance of the Portfolio Management Service is yet to pick-up. The SEBI''s raising of minimum volume of such investment from Rs. 5 Lakhs to Rs. 25 Lakhs has hit the segment really hard. The activity is expected to pick up gradually once investment sentiments improve.

Dividend

Taking into consideration the overall profitability position, the Board of Directors is pleased to recommend a dividend of 50 paise per share (5%) for the year ended March 31, 2013, subject to the approval of the Members at the Annual General Meeting.

Business Outlook

Economic environment in India continues to be depressed with GDP growth rate of around 5% and Inflation rate hovering around 9%. The prevailing low aggregate demand and high lending rate offers little promise in the short-run. Banks, both government and non- government, as well as big corporate have been sourcing cheaper funds abroad. However steep depreciation in the value of Rupee poses a serious challenge to the financial health of such borrowers in the long run. Sustained injections of Quantitative Easing have not yet achieved desired growth in aggregate demand in the USA. Euro Zone continues its fire fighting, one after another and welfare spending by governments is shrinking. These provide a narrower export market for Indian goods and services. However some experts are of the opinion that the down-slide has bottomed out and green shoots for revival are visible. Your Company is well prepared to take advantage of the turnaround whenever it happens as business cycle or otherwise.

Directors

In terms of Article 162 of the Articles of Association of the Company Mr. Bhawani Sankar Rathi has been re-appointed as a Wholetime Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Company with effect from April 1, 2013, by the Board of Directors as per recommendation of the Remuneration Committee of the Company.

DIVIDEND

Taking into consideration the overall profitability position, the Board of Directors is pleased to declare a dividend of 75 paise per share (7.5%) during the year under review.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Unprecedented meltdown of banking and financial sector starting with USA and spreading to Europe and beyond has impacted economies globally. Viability and sustainability of age-old minimum interference and self regulatory frame-work has been put to question. Credibility of US Dollars as currency of reserve/investment has become a matter of open discussion globally. Overall scenario has brought in a common consequence - substantial fall in aggregate demand in almost all the economies. Large-scale government rescue packages over a prolonged period of time are yet to have tangible positive impact.

Direct impact of the global financial tsunami over India has been limited. Regulatory frame-work and conservative approach followed by RBI and SEBI finally received its due accolade. Rural economy has become engine for growth even for white goods market. Micro finance is gradually emerging as the most profitable portfolio for bonks and funding institutions as well as most effective catalyst for rural growth and development. Protection of environment, corporate social responsibility, transparency and accountability are drawing more attention than ever.

Fall in aggregate demand and employment due to external and internal factors are being addressed by the Government of India on war footing. Bringing down the cost of funds has become a priority for the Government and the RBI. Proposal to issue of biometric identity card for the entire population by 2011, introduction of mobile banking Guidelines by RBI and free access to ATMs will deepen inclusive growth of the Indian economy. Political stability has witnessed steady improvement in the market sentiment and growth rate is gaining momentum. Sumedha Fiscal with its multiple-products, geographical spread and strong client base is well positioned to seize such opportunities and hopes to have even better performances.
