PRESENT STATUS
The Nifty hit the psychological mark of 3,900 points but could not sustain above it. The
Bears hopes were kept at bay as the Cement stocks rallied. The A/D ratio continues to
remain negative but volumes were higher. Both the Indices made “doji’s” implying
indecision amongst the bulls at these levels. However, only a big bearish candle today
will indicate a correction. Till then, the Bulls will survive every Bear scare as sectors
are pulled up in rotation. Trend line resistance in pink is pegged at 3908 points. Unless
and until the 3840-3850 point’s area is broken decisively in closing, the trend continues
to remain up. The Bulls failed yesterday to register a high of 3903 points in the Nifty.
For today the Nifty has to cross 3914 points to maintain the upward momentum. All
The above factors clearly indicate that this stock specific rally is a well orchestrated
one. We seem to be losing upside momentum for the past couple of sessions and a
sudden decline would catch most napping. Therefore, a prudent decision would be to
book profits in rallies or else keep strict stop losses.
The daily candlestick chart of Indo Asian Fuse shows that it is on the verge of breaking
above a “downward sloping channel”. The volumes are also pretty high. One can therefore
buy at current levels as well as in dips to the Rs.138 level with a stop loss below Rs.130 in
close for a minimum target of Rs.165-169 and a maximum target price of Rs.182 in the next
3-4 weeks. The daily candlestick chart of Nifty 3850 PE shows that it is losing downside
momentum because of the stagnation in the Nifty. The volumes have also increased in the
past 2-3 sessions indicating that Put buying it taking place as a protection against Portfolios.
Looking at the above one can buy the 3850 PE at current levels as well as in dips to Rs.43-45
area with a stop loss below Rs.35 in close. The minimum target is Rs.61 and if this is crossed
then Rs.74 in the next 6-7 sessions.

ICRA has assigned ‘A1’ rating to an enhanced amount of Rs. 2750 million short term non
convertible debenture programmed of Religare Finvest Limited (Formerly Fortis Finvest
limited). Earlier, RFL had an outstanding rating of A1 for Rs 2500 million short term debt
programmed. The A1 rating for the enhanced amount takes into account RFL’s rapidly
growing financing business volumes, its adequate risk management systems and its profitable
operations. The rating also draws support from the parentage of the promoters of Ranbaxy
Laboratories Limited and the continuous managerial and financial support demonstrated by
them, including the letter of comfort provided by Ranbaxy Holding Company Limited
(RHCL) whereby RHCL has committed to subordinate the unsecured loans amounting to Rs
1 billion given to RFL till the above rated debt is outstanding in RFL’s books. RFL has also
received a fresh equity infusion of Rs 200 million and preference share capital of Rs 250
million
(Redeemable in 5 years) from its holding company Religare Enterprises Limited in March
06. The rating also factors in the close synergies between RFL and Religare Securities
Limited (formerly Fortis Securities Limited) which is the stock broking arm of Religare
group. The rating is however constrained by RFL’s vulnerability to stock market
performance, its relatively short track record and the small scale of its operations.

Growth 5. I believe that most of these tie-ups never delivered in terms of value. The number
of deals happening from India is on the rise and foreign players would also like to make the
most of it. However, Indian players understand this market better than anyone else. As such
both have their competencies and over time there will be clarity on how these players fare.
Foreign broking houses have now taken on more than 80% of the institutional sales and have
left Indians to concentrate on the retail side of the business.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. The foreign broking houses are dominating the
institutional side of the business as many of these institutions are FIIs. This works well for
the foreign investors.
However, this should get wiped out over a time as players who give the best services will net
the biggest pie of the business. It has to happen over time. The retail market itself is big and
growing, and given the growth potential, more and more players are concentrating on this
market. There is a lot of wealth to be tapped in the second-tier towns, which presents a good
opportunity for Indian broking firms. I don't think the foreigners would be interested in this
market.
Our main areas of focus are HNIs, corporate clients and retail. I find retail interesting
because people have started to take investments in the equity markets very seriously. I see
many youngsters entering the equity markets at a very early age. We are long-term investors
and we believe that investors should put their money in the equity markets at a young age
and this is happening. This way we can also add more value. But most equity investors today
seem to be focusing on short-term gains rather than holding on for the longer term? Isn't this
greed? What is wrong with greed! All of us are greedy in some way or the other. I may sound
a lot like Gordon Gekko from the movie Wall Street, but greed when focused, is good. I see a
lot of passion in today's youngster to achieve more. I think these are good signs. This hunger
for excellence is good for the country.
Risk Factor-
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. All the information
contained in this Letter of Offer should be carefully considered, including the risks
before making any investment in our Equity Shares.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could suffer and the price of our Equity Shares could decline.
The financial and other implications of material impact of risks concerned,
wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in the Risk Factors mentioned below.
However, there are Risk Factors where the impact is not quantifiable and hence the
same has not been disclosed in this Letter of Offer.
(This Letter of Offer also includes statistical data regarding the Non-Banking
Financial industry. This data has been obtained from industry publications, reports
and other sources that the Company and the Lead Manager believe to be reliable.
Neither the Company nor the Lead Manager has independently verified such data.)
INTERNAL RISK FACTORS
Profitability of the Company has been negative in the past. The Profits of the
Company in the past have been negative due to slowdown in the Indian Economy
during mid-nineties, which had an adverse impact on the industrial climate giving
rise to increased delinquencies in the financial sector coupled with stiff
competition posed by multinationals and financial institutions having access to low
cost funds. This had a significant impact on the performance of the Company in the
past. Subsequently, the Company focused its thrust on the recovery/ settlement of
overdue debts. The remedial actions undertaken by the Company for the purpose
included restructuring, rescheduling and repossession of assets and filing of legal
cases against the defaulting clients. This strategy of the Company, along with its
significant efforts in lowering the operating, personnel and administrative costs
and generation of fee based income by focusing on non-fund based activities
yielded positive results.
Further, the Company unlocked significant values of its investments in its two
Wholly-owned Subsidiaries during the Financial Year 2005-06, thereby significantly
are reducing its Accumulated Losses. A summary of the Accumulated Losses in
the last five years is furnished herein below:
The financing industry is becoming increasingly competitive and our growth will
depend on our ability to compete effectively. Over the last several years,
competition in financing industry has increased tremendously. Our competitors
may have greater resources than we do and access to cheaper funds.
Our growth will depend on our ability to access funds at competitive rates. We are
dependent on raising funds from debt market and other commercial borrowings for
our growth. Accordingly our growth will depend on our ability to raise funds at
competitive costs.
Material changes in the Regulations that govern us could cause our business to
suffer and the price of our Equity Shares to decline. NBFCs in India are subject to
supervision and regulation by the RBI. In addition, we are subject generally to
changes in Indian Laws as well as changes in Government Regulations and
Policies and Accounting Principles. Any changes in the regulatory framework
affecting NBFCs including the provisioning for NPA, capital adequacy
requirements, applicable tax rates could adversely affect the profitability of our
business, our future financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.
Our Promoters will hold majority of our Equity Shares after the Issue and can
therefore determine the outcome of Shareholders’ voting after the completion of
this Issue, our Promoters will hold majority of our Equity Shares. Consequently,
our Promoters will be able to exercise a significant degree of influence over us and
will be able to control the outcome of any proposal that can be approved with
majority of Shareholders’ vote.
Any future issuance of Equity Shares by the Company may affect the market price
of our Equity Shares. Any future issuance of Equity Shares by the Company may
dilute the holdings of investors in our Equity Shares, which may, in turn, affect the
market price of our Equity Shares.
There are certain contingent liabilities that the Company has not provided for.
As on March 31, 2006, the Company has some contingent liabilities detailed below,
determination of which against the Company may adversely affect the financial
position:

Some of the Group Companies has incurred losses in the recent years. The details of the
Group Companies which have incurred losses in any financial year during the last 3
financial years are as follows:
The Indian Economy has shown sustained growth over the last few years with real
GDP growing at 6.9% in the Fiscal 2005, 8.5% in the Fiscal 2004 and 4.0%in Fiscal
2003. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2006, real GDP grew at 8.1% compared to
7.55 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2005.
We are exposed to the risks of the Indian financial system, which in turn, may be
affected by financial difficulties and other problems faced by certain Indian
Financial Institutions. Certain Indian Financial Institutions have experienced
difficulties during recent years. Some Co-operative Banks (which tend to operate in
rural sector) have also faced various financial and liquidity crisis. There has been a
trend towards consolidation of weaker banks and NBFCs being merged with
stronger entities. The problems faced by individual Indian Financial Institutions
and any instability in or difficulties faced by the Indian financial system generally
could create adverse market perception about Indian Financial Institutions, banks
and NBFCs. This, in turn, could adversely affect our business, our future financial
performance, our Shareholders’ funds and the market price of our Equity Shares.
Terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence or war involving India and
other countries could adversely affect the financial markets and our business
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may negatively affect the Indian
markets on which our Equity Shares will be traded and may also adversely affect
the worldwide financial markets. These acts may also result in a loss of business
confidence. In addition, any deterioration in relations between India and Pakistan
might result in investor concern about stability in the region, which could
adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares.
India has also witnessed civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that
future civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and political events in
India could have a negative impact on us. Such incidents could also create a
greater perception that investment in Indian Companies involves a higher degree of
risk and could have an adverse impact on our business and the market price of our
Equity Shares.
Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an International Rating Agency could
have a negative impact on our business.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt
by International Rating Agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise
additional financing, the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such
additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on our
business, our financial performance, our ability to raise financing for onward
lending and the price of our Equity Shares.

Market Outlook
Nifty futures and spot were in a slight mismatch at the end of the last trading
session. Nifty futures tested fresh low but S&P CNX Nifty did not breach the low
posted on 12 June i.e. 4100.8. The discount of nifty futures to nifty spot increased
towards the close signaling liquidation of intraday long positions and adding of
new short positions. The open interest has touched record levels as
prices are falling signaling short position build up in the system. Technically, nifty
futures has been range bound for the past few days, with a bearish bias as it has
posted lower lows but has been unable to move and sustain above the strong
resistance levels. The immediate resistance for today is at 4115, and above that, at
4153. The strong supply region is between 4187 – 4198 which needs to be
decisively crossed to signal strength. On the lower side, 4083 – 4074 is now a
critical support zone since a breach of this will signal continuation of the
downswing. Below 4074, it is likely to move down to 4020 with some support at
4053. The cements sector has given a pull back after a sustained downswing and
now it seems that the auto sector is ripe for a corrective upswing. The global
market cues are positive and a pull back rally seems to be very much on the cards.
Religare’s alliance with IndusInd Bank will be more than a mere structural tie-up.
Religare will have highly-trained dedicated teams assigned for this activity working
closely with IndusInd Bank to provide the support required for servicing the
customers effectively. Apart from providing support and orientation to the IndusInd
team, Religare representatives will also be available at various IndusInd branches
and participate in customer calls if required. This integrated tie-up is to
demonstrate Religare’s close involvement in this initiative and establish a sound
business model for the industry.
