The required details pursuant to Section 212 of the Companies Act 1956 relating to subsidiary Companies are annexed and forms part of the report of the Board.

 

Business outlook

 

The survival of NBFCs depends on their credibility, efficiency and customer oriented services. They will have to identify market segments, develop and strengthen their customer knowledge and focus marketing with superior risk appraisal methods.

 

Diversification of funding avenues is very essential for lowering fund costs. Innovative products, improved relationship management, efficient customer service, better use oftechnology and reduced operational costs will become the hallmark of successful NBFCs in future. They are confidentthat the coming years will fortify their strength further and their far sighted strategy of diversification in services and extension of reach across the nation will reward the shareholders adequately for their continued trust and confidence.

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The last few years have seen a number ofbanks setting up Non Banking Financial Companies to leverage their business prospects.

 

Similarly, a few foreign entities have also entered the Indian Financial system through the NBFC route. This has added to the strength and credibility of the NBFC sector. The traditional funding of NBFCs primarily by way of Public Deposits. NC Ds and Bank Re-finance has undergone changes with reduced focus on public deposits and NCDs and increased flow of funds from banking and other lending institutions. Securitization and assignment of receivables have become more important sources of NBFC funding with resultant regulator}'advantages.

 

The shake out of NBFC sector in the late 1990s could arrest the mushrooming growth and only serious players are remaining in the spectrum now. As such, the NBFC sector has been doing exceedingly well for the last few years in tune with the growing economy which has been growing at an average rate of 6% over the last 10 years. Personal loans and SME financing have become additional lending options to NBFCs in addition to vehicle financing and Gold Loan.

 

Opportunities and Threats.

 

Opportunities

 

The positive outlook on the Indian economy will have a favourable impact on the performance of the Company. In tune with this positive out look, the Company had raised its paid up capital last year for improving its capital adequacy. The company foresee tremendous opportunities for lending against gold. The customer portfolio of the Company remains as agriculturists, small farmers, etc., who remain substantially out of the purview of the banking system. India, supposed to be the repository of household gold reserves, offers opportunities for lending against gold which hitherto has been remaining untapped.

 

With the growth in the disposable income of the families, lower EMI owing to longer tenure and an increase in the penetration of finance w ill help to increase the demand for vehicle finance in the days to come. With a strong nation wide reach out through its branches, the company is well equipped to explore opportunities in its existing HP.

 

The over all increase in the market value of gold has thrown open more business opportunities for the company as is seen in the performance of Gold Loan portfolio. The company has been able to maintain its share in vehicle finance. The fee-based segment has also registered remarkable improvement, which consists nearly 6% of the topline.

CORPORATE PROFILE OF MANAPPURAM GROUP 

 

History and Present Branches of the Group

 

With the Trust and Commitment extending over 58 years, Manappuram Group has emerged as a force to reckon with under the stewardship of Shri V.P. Nandakumar, the Chairman & Managing Director of the Group. Today with Seven Companies under its fold having 347 branches spread over ten States of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab, a total business over Rs.1000 crores, a workforce over 4000 hands and a customer base of over one million, the group has a wide range of activities ranging from financial services to Computer Technology. Ironically enough, the Group is head-quartered at Valapad, a coastal village of Trichur District in Kerala.

 

The Group was founded in 1949 by late Shri V.C. Padmanabhan, a great visionary of his times. The Group commenced its operations at Valapad, mainly with money lending activity on a very modest scale. The principal asset of the Group was the impeccable integrity devotion and foresight of its Founder. The Group soon established itself as a safe haven for investments of the people of the area providing absolute safety and assured returns. On the sad demise of the Founder in 1986, his illustrious son Shri V.P. Nandakumar, the present Chairman took over the reins. Under his dynamic leadership the Group never had to look back. Shri Nandakumar was working as an Officer of the erstwhile Nedungadi Bank before he took over the captaincy of the Group. Known for his sharp business acumen and professionalism, Shri Nandakumar has been instrumental in taking the organization to its present level. With an alert mind and unconventional methods of problem solving Shri Nandakumar has put this organization on the launching pad. He believes that the future belongs to those who can advantageously use the technology to serve the customers by evolving customized products and services.

 

The Group`s flag-ship Company, Manappuram General Finance and Leasing Limited (MAGFIL) was established in 1992 in the wake of economic reforms launched by the Government of India mainly to take advantage of the importance assigned to Leasing as a vehicle to promote decentralized pattern of Economic Growth through small and medium enterprises. In a short span of time, MAGFIL had several “Firsts”.  MAGFIL was the First NBFC in Kerala to receive a Certificate of Registration issued by RBI mainly on the strength of the Company’s ability to settle the depositors claim in full. MAGFIL was also the First Company to get a Credit Rating of "MA" from ICRA, a Rating Agency approved by RBI which signifies the company`s ability to make timely repayment of the principal and interest under its Public Deposit Programme. Within a short span of time MAGFIL recorded a phenomenal growth to become a premier NBFC in South India. The company was the First NBFC to go for Public Issue from Thrissur. The company has been consistently making profit and paying dividend from the first full year of its operations. To facilitate the fund based activities the company accepts deposits, Bonds and Non-Covertible Debentures with attractive interest rates. The shares of the Company are listed in Mumbai, Chennai and Cochin Stock Exchanges and are actively traded in BSE at levels far above par. The Group is soon coming out with a Bonus issue of 1:1.

 

In 1993, this Group set up Manappuram Benefit Fund Limited, a NIDHI Company to provide specialized services to its members. Today it is one of the topmost Nidhi Companies in South India. Manappuram Chits (I) Limited, a chit fund company registered under the Chit Fund Act 1982, a central legislation enacted by Government of India, was set up in the year 2000. Most of the Chit Fund Companies in Kerala found it difficult to conform to the discipline of this central legislation.

 

As a part of its diversification the Group also started Forex Business upon the Reserve Bank of India granting it a Full Fledged Money Changers Licence in the year 2002. The Group also commenced in a big way Instant Money Transfer in collaboration with UAE Xchange and Wallstreet and Money Gram. Instant Money Transfers being the fastest method of remittance of funds will be useful to NRIs for remitting money to their relatives in India who will be able to receive the proceeds within a few minutes of actual remittance abroad.

 

While the Group’s core activity continues to be fund based, it has entered very aggressively into fee based activities especially in the wake of opening up of insurance sector allowing private participation.  Though the Group marked its entry into the Insurance field as a corporate agent of one of the private sector insurance major, its keen desire to provide the customers with a better deal prompted it to pursue with tenacity broking licence which it received recently from Insurance Regulatory Development Authority in November, 2006. As an Insurance broker, the Group is able to offer its customers a wide variety of products tailor-made to their requirements.

 

Thus the Group has emerged as a one stop financial Super Market. In order to look after the fee-based activities exclusively the Group has promoted a separate Company called Manappuram Insurance Brokers Private Limited (MAIBRO) as wholly owned subsidiary of MAGFIL, the flagship Company of the Group. The Group has received ISO 9001-2000 certification in the year 1993 as a hall mark of its having attained the International Quality Standards.
