MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The  financial year 2011-12 has witnessed many economic challenges  at  the 
global  stage. The year saw stronger economies in the European region  such 
as  France  and  Germany having to come to the  rescue  of  other  European 
countries  like  Spain,  Portugal, Greece, Italy and  Ireland  which  faced 
public  debt  crises.  The US faced a downgrade  of  its  sovereign  credit 
rating, yet the dollar continued to gain strength amidst mixed signals from 
the  largest economy of the world. Japan, a victim of natural and  man-made 
disasters, also saw a disruption in its economy and the Middle East faced a 
wave  of protests and demonstrations against those in power in the form  of 
the  Arab Spring. At the same time, extensive liquidity infusions from  the 
European  Central  bank and the US Federal Reserve did thaw  the  situation 
temporarily,  yet there are doubts whether such infusion of liquidity  will 
solve  the structural issues of high debt and slower growth, which  is  now 
more  pronounced  in the developed economies. Emerging  economies  too  are 
beginning to feel the impact of the global slowdown. The World Bank expects 
the  global GDP to expand by 2.5% in 2012, and accelerate to 3.1% in  2013, 
as reported by Reuters.

India  too has faced turbulent times in 2011, partly due  to  international 
triggers  and partly due to domestic incidents. The Reserve Bank  of  India 
(RBI)  followed a tight monetary policy for most of the year in an  attempt 
to  tame stubborn high inflation. Against this backdrop, during  FY12,  the 
RBI  increased  the repo rate from 6.75% to 8.5% in six  tranches  and  the 
reverse repo rate from 5.75% to 7.5%, again in 6 tranches. These rates  saw 
some  respite  only at the beginning of FY13 when they were cut by  half  a 
percentage  point  each.  Bank rates were also increased  during  FY12  and 
liquidity  was tight in the market almost throughout the  year.  Reflecting 
the slower investment climate, credit growth tapered off to about 17%  from 
the  highs of about 21% witnessed in the previous year. The combination  of 
rising  interest rates, high inflation, and lower investment  reflected  in 
lower  industrial  output  and economic growth. After  over  two  years  of 
sustained high growth, India`s economic growth rate slowed to less than  7% 
in FY12.

However, the sustained efforts of the RBI seemed to pay off towards the end 
of  calendar 2011 when inflation dipped to 7.5% in December and  stayed  so 
for  the rest of the year, from the double digit inflation for  the  better 
part  of the earlier two years. The RBI has not yet dropped guard  on  this 
front,  yet  they are beginning to shift their focus on  growth,  which  is 
beginning to slow down and a trend that can no longer be explained away  as 
statistical aberrations.

The  RBI proceeded to reduce interest rates and release liquidity into  the 
system towards the end of the last FY 12.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Non-Banking  Finance  Companies  (NBFCs)  broadly  comprise  Asset  Finance 
Companies, Investment Companies, Loan Companies and Infrastructure  Finance 
Companies.   Traditionally,  they  have  played  a  crucial  role  in   the 
development  of sectors like transport, infrastructure,  equipment  leasing 
and  hire  purchase,  retail  amongst  others.  NBFCs  have  also   enabled 
substantial  broad based economic development by financing  small  business 
segments   and  the  economically  weaker  sections  of   society   besides 
facilitating the funding of first-time borrowers.

NBFCs  have played a special role in funding MSMEs, which are the  backbone 
of  the  Indian economy and contribute almost half of the  country`s  total 
industrial  production  and generate sizeable employment. In  the  process, 
they  have  also promoted inclusive development and have provided  a  major 
thrust to the rural and semi-rural sector. In the Twelfth Plan period,  the 
MSME  Ministry  has set a growth target of 15% for this segment,  which  is 
currently growing at 12-13% per annum. According to the Ministry, there are 
over  6,500  small clusters in the country but 99% of them are  in  cottage 
industry  belonging to sectors like coir, handicrafts and handloom. Due  to 
the  fact that this segment of industry is highly unorganised, and in  many 
cases,  deal in parallel economy, funds from banks and alternate source  of 
capital  such  as private equity, venture capital and angel funds  are  not 
forthcoming.  Beyond government sources of finance, it is the  NBFC  sector 
that  supports their initiatives as NBFCs often do  customised  alternative 
credit  evaluation  methodologies for credit assessment  for  this  sector. 
Indeed  the RBI has well captured this in one of their reviews as  follows: 
"In  addition  to  enhancing competition in  the  financial  system,  these 
institutions play a role in broadening the access of financial services  to 
the  population  at  large. NBFIs are  important  financial  intermediaries 
particularly for the small scale and retail sectors."

Overall,  NBFCs  across  the country offer a range  of  services  including 
retail  asset backed lending, lending against securities and  microfinance. 
This segment in the financial sector has been growing considerably over the 
past few years. Last but not the least, NBFCs make a sizeable  contribution 
to the state exchequer.

To  infuse more transparency in loans and advances, the RBI, in March  2012 
revamped  the  Fair Practices Code (FPC) to be adopted by  NBFCs  in  their 
lending business. The guidelines emphasized on the general principles about 
adequate  disclosures  on the terms and conditions for  more  transparency, 
which  we believe will improve the confidence of customers in the  services 
provided by NBFCs in the long run.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Future Capital Holdings Limited (FCH) provides financial services across  a 
wide  range  of consumer and wholesale businesses.  As  veritable  one-stop 
financial  shop, it offers a comprehensive suite of products  and  services 
that  meet  all four key financial needs of  customers,  namely  Borrowing, 
Protection, Investment and Planning.

Your  Company is focusing largely on catering to the MSME segment which  we 
believe  is largely under-banked and under-served in India, and is hence  a 
large  opportunity  for your Company. Your Company has the  required  skill 
sets  for serving this need, and hence the passion for this area  as  well. 
The  largest  focus of your Company`s business is to provide  financing  to 
MSMEs,  with  their residential or commercial property as  the  collateral. 
Your Company is also capitalising on the growing consumption in India. Your 
Company  seeks  to  maintain  a comprehensive  product  suite  that  covers 
financing  consumer durables like Televisions, Air Conditioners as well  as 
financing  Two-Wheelers. Your Company is structured to meet multiple  needs 
of  customers  not only for maximum customer impact, but also  for  optimal 
productivity.  Your Company also has a well-established  corporate  lending 
business  and has developed its Broking and Wealth Management  services  to 
grow its fee-based income.

Loan Products

The loan book of your Company has grown 64% from Rs. 28.55 billion in  FY11 
to  Rs.  46.70 billion in FY12. What is particularly important to  note  is 
that the share of retail business in the loan book steadily increased  from 
18%  in FY10, to 29% in FY11, to 42% in FY12. Through its extensive  branch 
network, which increased to 197 branches by end of FY12, FCH has been  able 
to  reach  customers  across most states and major cities  in  India.  Your 
Company plans to grow the retail business and increase its contribution  to 
the overall loan book in the coming years.

Mortgage  Loan  has been the biggest contributor in the  retail  loan  book 
composition  and  the product has been growing steadily for  the  last  two 
years.  The mortgage loan book grew to reach Rs. 15,434 million by the  end 
of  FY12. The composition of the retail loan book as on 31st March 2012  is 
given below -

Gold Loan, which was launched in February 2011, grew steadily to produce  a 
healthy  loan  book of Rs. 2,343 million by the end of  FY12.  Through  the 
extensive  branch network, your Company has been able to reach out to  Gold 
Loan  customers in more than 40 cities in India. Your Company is  confident 
about this product contributing profitably in the coming years.

Utilizing  the  strong processes, automated  credit-scoring  solutions  and 
presence  at  the dealer stores, your Company also had a steady  growth  in 
consumer  durable  loan business which has grown to reach a  loan  book  of 
Rs.444  million  in FY12. Currently, your Company is able to  acquire  more 
than 12,000 customers a month through this product.

Your  Company  also launched two-wheeler loans during  the  last  financial 
year.  Considering the growth of the two-wheeler segment and the fact  that 
this is a segment that has been highly under-served in India, your  Company 
has  chosen  this niche area with improved value proposition for  the  two-
wheeler customers. This business requires relatively high investment in the 
initial  years  as  ticket size is small, and it requires  high  volume  of 
transactions, but your Company has embarked on building this business as it 
is more suited for smaller/medium size companies like ours.

Wealth Management

FCH  launched its Private Wealth proposition for customers in  April  2011. 
Through  this  vertical,  your Company provides  its  customers  access  to 
financial  products and solutions like mutual funds, insurance,  structured 
products,  property services, private equity funds, etc.  Additionally,  it 
provides  a  unique advisory led approach, backed by incisive  research  to 
deliver  holistic  wealth  management solutions  to  HNIs.  Future  Capital 
Holding Private Wealth (FCH PW) seeks to deliver results to its clients  in 
the arena of wealth management by constantly leveraging its strengths.  FCH 
PW operates out of 10 full service branches across India. It currently  has 
an experienced sales team of over 70 private wealth managers, advising over 
2000 High Networth Clients. The private wealth managers of your Company are 
trusted advisors for their client`s personal and business needs backed by a 
platform of transparency, product innovation and advisory.

Broking

FCH, through its 100% subsidiary, Future Capital Securities Limited  (FCSL) 
operates in the retail broking space with a focus on fee based income. FCSL 
acquired memberships of various stock exchanges and made its foray into the 
Currency  Derivatives segment business. Future Capital Commodities  Limited 
(FCCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of FCSL, acquired memberships of  various 
commodity exchanges and commenced business in the Commodity Derivatives and 
Spot  Commodities  business. FCSL and FCCL operate out of 19  full  service 
branches  across  India and have more than 125 Business  Associates  across 
India  to  cater to the needs of retail clients for  their  investments  in 
Securities, Commodities, Mutual Funds, etc. To provide unparalleled  access 
and  the highest level of convenience to its clients, it has  introduced  a 
one of its kind Trading Platform and an intranet portal, "futuredirect" and 
"myfuture", respectively.

Finally,  to  complete  the customer service  proposition  for  alternative 
investments,  your  Company has successfully launched its  retail  property 
broking business.

While  FCH has achieved steady growth in the past three years, high  levels 
of  corporate  governance,  transparency,  robust  processes  and  controls 
continue to be an integral part of your Company`s policy. Your Company  has 
consistently  maintained good quality of assets and reduced its  gross  and 
net NPAs over the past quarters due to tighter management, a robust  credit 
check  framework  and streamlined processes and checks. The gross  NPA  has 
improved from 0.25% in FY11 to 0.08% in FY12 while the net NPA has improved 
from 0.06% to 0.00% over the same period.

Usually,  as companies grow in size and maturity, it is expected  that  the 
NPA  levels tend to increase and stabilise over time. Yet your Company  has 
built   strong  capabilities  in  credit  scoring,  cash  flow   evaluation 
techniques  and collections. Finally, your Company is  structured  uniquely 
where  the functions of sales, credit policy, credit administration,  fraud 
control,  operations  and collections are unique and  separated  from  each 
other,   thereby  providing  for  checks  and  controls  in  the   process. 
Considering the above, even as you Company grows in maturity, we expect the 
asset quality to remain high as compared to peer and industry standards.

To  support  the  business growth, your Company has  maintained  a  healthy 
capital adequacy. As of 31st March 2012, the capital adequacy ratio of your 
Company  stands  at 18.63% which is much higher than  the  minimum  capital 
adequacy requirement required by the RBI.

CARE has upgraded the long term rating of your Company to "CARE AA-"(Double 
A  minus) from CARE A+ (Single A plus) in the previous financial year.  The 
upgrade  was  a  result  of the review conducted  by  CARE  on  the  recent 
developments  including  operational  and  financial  performance  of  your 
Company.  Brickworks has also provided long term rating of  "AA-"(Double  A 
minus)  to  your Company in the last financial year.  The  revised  ratings 
provided  by  these rating agencies reflect the confidence that  they  have 
expressed in our stable and top quality management with good track records, 
and  a  strong and proven business model as is evidenced by the  growth  in 
profitability and high quality of assets.

The  leadership and guidance of the key management, with their insight  and 
experience  in  the  fields of industry and finance, has been  one  of  the 
fundamental  factors  driving the growth of your Company in FY12  and  will 
continue  to be a key strength of your Company. Your Company will  continue 
to grow the retail portfolio as a percentage of the overall loan book which 
we  believe will provide diversification over a large number  of  customers 
and  as a result, it will offer great stability in performance.  FCH  looks 
forward to the steady growth in future as the respective department  heads, 
including  business  origination, credit and support functions  with  their 
strengthened teams efficiently implement the strategies.

RESOURCES

During  the  financial year FY12, the outstanding balance  (borrowing)  for 
your  Company was Rs. 43,863 million as of FY12, as compared to Rs.  26,238 
million  in FY11. As a strategy, your Company raised most of this  debt  as 
long  term  debt, which was matched with the cash flow  of  the  customers` 
repayments.  Only  6.78% of your Company`s borrowing was  short  term,  and 
overwhelmingly,   over  93%,  including  the  equity  was   long   duration 
borrowings. This provides excellent cushion for the company for  repayments 
of  its obligations. During the year, your Company successfully managed  to 
raise  Rs. 2,000 million as subordinated debt for the first time.  Further, 
the borrowings were mostly at floating rates linked with base rates of  the 
banking  system,  and  the  customer repayments too,  were  linked  to  the 
floating rate, largely insulating the company from interest rate risks.

One  of the significant achievements of your Company was that in  spite  of 
the  rising  interest  rate and tough liquidity conditions  in  the  Indian 
market, your Company has performed exceptionally well to reduce the  margin 
of  incremental borrowing as compared to the movement of base rates,  based 
on  improved performance of your Company and its financial prospects.  Your 
Company also increased the number of banking relationships with key  public 
and private banks in India during the last financial year.

our loan book along with the increase in the fee based income.

Depreciation/Amortization  of  1%  for  the  year.  The  increase  in   the 
expenditures during the year was mainly on account of increase in borrowing 
for growth and increase in our branch network, headcounts, introduction  of 
new product line, etc.

Rs.8,316 million as compared to Rs. 7,469 million as on March 31, 2011. The

INTERNAL CONTROL

Your  Company has adequate systems of internal control  which  commensurate 
with  its size and nature of operations. It maintains a system of  internal 
controls  designed  to  provide a high degree of  assurance  regarding  the 
effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the adequacy of safeguards  for 
assets,   the  reliability  of  financial  controls  and  compliance   with 
applicable laws and regulations.

The systems in your Company ensure that assets are safeguarded against loss 
from  unauthorized  use.  Your  Company  is  in  the  process  of   further 
strengthening  its system controls by implementation of a new  robust  Loan 
Management System.

Your  Company has, during the year, established an In-house Internal  Audit 
Department.  The  Internal Audit Team, undertakes  comprehensive  audit  of 
functional areas and operations of your Company to examine the adequacy  of 
and compliance with policies, plans and statutory requirements. Significant 
audit observations and follow up actions thereon are reported to the  Audit 
Committee.  The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and  effectiveness  of 
your Company`s internal control environment and monitors the implementation 
of audit recommendations.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Your  Company has invested in people, processes and technology to  mitigate 
risks posed by the external environment and by its borrowers. Your  Company 
does an assessment of cash flow of the borrowers for MSME customers  before 
lending  to  them,  and for low ticket  transactions,  it  has  implemented 
statistically valid credit scoring systems that adequately capture the risk 
in  lending and collections. Regular credit bureau inputs are  incorporated 
in the credit scoring model and credit analysis process. We ensure that the 
underwriting  and  collection process are well streamlined and  managed  by 
highly competent workforce.

The operations team does an independent due-diligence of the  documentation 
and  books  the  loans.  The  operations team  presents  the  PDCs  or  ECS 
instruction  of customers, and directly gives the returned cheques  to  the 
collections  team  for physical collections, if any.  The  above  processes 
ensure  there  is clear segregation of responsibilities,  the  customer  is 
appraised  by separate teams, and there are checks and balances within  the 
system.

Your  Company implements effective customer engagement and awareness  tools 
like  regular  automated SMS, welcome and awareness  calling,  E-mailers  & 
follow  up letters at regular intervals to keep the customer aware  of  the 
payment cycle.

High quality of customer experience is of critical importance in building a 
sustainable  customer  franchise and FCH recognizes the same.  FCH  ensures 
that high quality of service engagement with its customers through physical 
branches and call centre.

FCH  has set up elaborate procedures and systems as well as invested  in  a 
strong IT backbone to assist in monitoring of the portfolio on a continuous 
basis.   Detailed  procedures  and  policies  have  been  established   for 
underwriting across various product categories, based on the credit profile 
of  the  customer.  Since last year, your  Company  has  been  continuously 
monitoring  and realigning its credit policies at regular interval  and  is 
also  working  very closely with leading credit bureaus in the  country  to 
ensure better credit quality.

The   risk  management  committee  reviews  and  addresses   strategy   and 
portfolio/balance sheet risks arising from credit, liquidity movements  and 
interest rate movements. Sustained efforts to strengthen the risk framework 
and  portfolio quality have yielded results. The overall portfolio  quality 
has  improved over time and is stable and healthy.  FCH`s  Assets-Liability 
Committee  (ALCO),  set-up in line with the guidelines issued by  the  RBI, 
monitors asset-liability mismatches and ensures that there are no  material 
imbalances or excessive concentration on either side of the balance sheet.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

During  FY12,  your Company has taken major initiatives to  strengthen  the 
technology  and operations framework in order to provide better and  faster 
service delivery to its customers. It is carrying out the implementation of 
"FinnOne",  a system by Nucleus Software, which replaces the existing  Loan 
Management System and results in improvement in data quality, better checks 
and  controls  as  well  as  faster  processing  capabilities.  FinnOne  is 
considered to be the best Loan Management System in India and is being used 
by various leading Banks and Financial Institutions in India and globally.

Your  Company  is  also implementing the Gold  Loan  Management  System  by 
Gradatim  Software which brings more efficiency in processing  gold  loans. 
During  the  year, your Company has also implemented a  new  HR  management 
system,  developed  eFax  System for automating workflow  from  remote  two 
wheeler  stores and automated calling for verification through  Dialler  to 
speed up workflow.

HUMAN CAPITAL

FCH recognises that people play a critical role in achieving its goals.  As
