MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Company Secretary Opportunities for financial services in the NTD era

The NTD Era

It took India over 60 years since independence to create its first US$ 1
trillion of GDP in FY08. However, growing nominally @ 12-15% per annum and
at current US$/INR rates, India will add the next trillion dollar (NTD) of
GDP in 5-6 years.

The NTD Era will be marked by sustained boom in discretionary spend,
savings and investment.

Comparisons with China

China achieved its first trillion dollar GDP in 1998. It took about six
years to add the second trillion in 2005. However, the third trillion took
just 3 years, and all of the fourth came in just one year, 2008, when
China's GDP hit US$ 4 trillion.

India is hopefully on its way to mimicking the Chinese experience. Whether
we will do it somewhat slower or faster is just a matter of time.

Savings is on the rise

In the last 6 years to FY09, India's Gross Domestic Savings has been on the
rise, clocking a CAGR of 17%. In 5-6 years' time, India's GDP may touch US$
2.5 trillion. At then 40% of GDP, India's savings would almost equal

current GDP. Gross Fixed Capital Formation has grown even stronger - from
25% of GDP to 33% of GDP, a CAGR of 22%.

Equity ownership as an asset class is low in India

Recent report released by FICCI / Mckinsey indicates that total household
holdings into equities both directly and indirectly is ~19% which is much
lower than comparatives with developed countries like US and UK.

Retail penetration is low in India

Low Equity Ownership is further accentuated by the low level of equity
penetration in India (~1% of population has demat accounts) as compared to
~10% in other Asian countries like China and Korea

Country Demat Population Penetration
Accounts %

China 152 1,325 11

Korea 4.6 47 10

India 16 1,190 1

Low participation beyond top 10 cities

Top 10 cities (Tier 1) contribute 90% of the total trading volume and 78%
of mutual fund ownership but account for only 37% of the total urban income
pool. This indicates the immense potential offered by Tier 2 and Tier 3
cities.

Although disposal household income in these cities is less that in Tier 1
cities, owing to a lower share of HNI individuals and affluent segment,
there is huge opportunity to be tapped.

Opportunity for Financial intermediation

India's rising savings and income levels holds enormous potential for the
development of the Financial Services sector. Data from the rich countries
suggests that nearly 40% of total wealth is held in financial instruments
while nearly 20% of household financial assets are held in equity. In India
only 5% of household savings are channeled into equity suggesting that
there is a huge scope for growth on this front.

As India's per capita income and savings rises, estimates suggest that the
quantum of household savings going into the Indian stock market will
increase nine fold in the next 20 years

Intensifying competition driving industry consolidation but at a slow pace

India has over 9,000 registered brokerages. Past trends suggest that
consolidation within the industry follows market downturns. Effects of this
were very visible post the bear phase of 2000. However, considerable
consolidation has been witnessed even during the bull run of 2003-2008.
During this period, competition has intensified with the entry of several
new players with large brands and well capitalized balance sheets. Smaller
players would face the heat of this intensifying competition resulting in
large players further gaining market share. The bigger challenge for large
players is to achieve sustained and consistent returns on their
investments, while managing their growth trajectory.

Coming to the point of market cycle accelerating consolidation, unlike in
2003, the 2009 market downturn has not resulted in consolidation within the
industry.

Our Business Streams and Outlook:

Your Company, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited (MOFSL), is a non-
banking financial company (NBFC), registered under the Reserve Bank of
India Act, 1934. Your company's standalone operations have two critical
elements:

(i) Build on a financing infrastructure that can best customize risk
adjusted products, have simple and compliant documentation, and prompt loan
approval procedures; and

(ii) A strong structure in place that can most efficiently source funds and
manage resources.

We have a clearly defined set of procedures for evaluating the
creditworthiness of customers that extends from initial evaluation to loan
approval. Funds are advanced after due process of evaluation and upon
providing the necessary documentation. A lot of emphasis is placed on
tailoring finance to customer needs. MOFSL's objective is to ensure
appraisal and disbursement within the shortest possible time, without
compromising on asset quality.

We also raise resources through short-term borrowings. During FY10, CRISIL
Limited assigned a rating of 'P1+' the highest rating, for your company's
short-term borrowing programme of Rs. 4 billion. CRISIL Limited also
assigned the rating of 'P1+' to MOSL's short-term borrowing programme of
Rs.4 billion.

Investment Banking

Industry Facts

CY09 saw a further decline in total deal activity in terms of volume and
value of deals. During CY09 the average deal size was US$ 35 million across
330 deals compared to US$ 69 million across 454 deals in CY08. Corporate
finance activity slowed down during 2009 on account of the global financial
crisis and companies' need to conserve capital. This later picked up as
globally companies started consolidating and high growth rates in China and
India continued to create a demand for commodities and capital.

Capital raising picked up in India following a stable government coming
back with a decisive mandate, overall risk appetite improving buoyed by
inherent growth potential in Indian market and ability of Indian financial
market to withstand global financial stresses. On the capital markets
front, QIP route was preferred by listed Indian Corporates for fund raising
on the backdrop of muted retail participation in equity markets. Companies
with robust business plans were able to attract private equity. Improvement
in business outlook and capital availability for Indian Companies led them
to look for attractive assets to build their global footprint.

Our team comprises multi-disciplinary professionals with extensive
collective banking and corporate finance advisory experience. An extensive
understanding of different sectors within the Investment Banking team
underpinned by the strong research pedigree of the Group enables us to
provide customized financial solutions to our clients across industries.

Since inception in 2006, the investment banking unit has executed milestone
transactions relating to capital raising and financial advisory, thereby
establishing a solid track record in the investment banking space.

Our established track record, strong corporate relationships, experienced
team and synergies within the group sets the right impetus to capture the
opportunities emerging from Corporate India as it heads into the Next
Trillion Dollar era; helping us build a strong and profitable franchisee in
this business.

Asset Management

Industry Facts

Mutual funds had assets under management of Rs. 6.14 trillion as on 31st
March, 2010, compared to Rs. 4.17 trillion on 31st March, 2009 and Rs. 5.05
trillion on 31st March, 2008. The equity funds - growth funds, balanced
funds and equity-linked savings schemes (ELSS) - constituted 35% of the
total AUM as at March, 2010, i.e. Rs. 2.15 trillion.

Retail & HNI investors constitute 46% of total mutual fund AUM but account
for 87% of equity AUM. Retail participation in Debt funds is very low at
~6%. Corporates contribute over 50% of total mutual fund AUM which is
largely concentrated into Liquid / money market funds (~80%)

Total AUM for mutual funds in India is ~6% of GDP which is much lower than
developed countries like US, UK or Australia. As financial awareness
increases, demand for better inflation protection instruments like mutual
funds will see significant demand.

SEBI's move to allow Stock Exchanges to offer trading platform for Mutual
Fund has opened out a complete new segment of intermediation and extend
reach to 1,500+ locations from the current concentration in 80 cities.

Our Asset Management Business

Our PMS business continued to attract significant investor interest with
the total AUM reaching Rs. 9.8 bn as of 31st March, 2010.

Both the existing as well as new schemes met with significant investor
confidence and resulting inflows. PMS products are distributed through
captive distribution channels within the Group as well as other national
distributors and private banks.

Another milestone in our endeavour to build the asset management business
was the final approval received from SEBI to commence Mutual Fund business.
The first scheme offer document has been filed with SEBI for approval. A
highly skilled and experienced Fund management and distribution team is
already on board. It will be our endeavour to build a differentiated mutual
fund business in the country.

Our proven track record in fund management and our constant focus to bring
innovative products suited to client needs gives us the confidence of
building a successful asset management business.

Private Equity

Industry Facts

Private Equity investment had slowed down in FY10 on the backdrop of high
valuations and delay in growth plans by companies on account of economic
slowdown in FY09.

The trend has significantly improved in Q4 FY10 when PE firms invested ~US
$ 2 billion in 56 deals. This is the highest investment in the last six
quarters. This is 19% higher than Q3 FY10 figure when PE firms invested US
$ 1.68 billion across 102 deals.

Our Private Equity Business

Our private equity subsidiary, MOPE currently manages and advices funds in
the growth capital and the real estate space.

MOPE is an investment manager and advisor to a private equity fund, India
Business Excellence Fund, which has commitments of US$ 125 million from
investors in India and overseas. The fund is aimed at providing growth
capital to small and medium enterprises in India, with investments
typically in the range of US$ 5 million to US$ 15 million. The fund has
already made investments in ten companies till 31st March, 2010 committing
around 61% of the funds.

MOPE was appointed as Investment Manager to India Realty Excellence Fund
(IREF), a domestic real estate fund, in FY09. IREF had its final closing in
December 2009 at Rs. 1.64 billion. The fund has already made investments
across 2 deals till 31st March, 2010, committing 16% of total funds under
management. MOPE has been able to build a strong deal pipeline for IREF and
is evaluating several investment opportunities.

Severe correction in stock prices resulting into expectation mismatches
between promoters and fund houses on valuations and delay in growth plans
by several companies on account of economic uncertainty resulted in
significant slowdown in private equity deal activity throughout the
industry in FY10. A need for maintaining 'Margin of safety' and rigorous
due diligence at deal evaluation stage took precedence over euphoric
valuations based on macro themes.

The strong investment culture within the Group of identifying companies
with sustainable business models and strong management teams has helped
MOPE identify companies which we believe can deliver good returns for our
stakeholders. The track record established through successful advisory
mandates of these two funds gives us the confidence to grow the private
equity business to much bigger scale in the coming years.

Wealth Management

Industry Facts

India's HNWI population shrank 31.6% to 84,000, the second largest
percentage decline in the world, after posting the fastest rate of growth
(22.7%) in 2007. At the end of 2008, HNWI wealth was down 29.0% to US$ 310
billion, with the largest losses among those in the $ 1m - $ 5m wealth band
(-31.8%).

However despite the loss of wealth due to sharp corrections in the markets
in 2008, strong GDP growth rate and high savings pool is likely to fuel the
growth of the HNWI base in India. India is pitted to stimulate Asia Pacific
Region's HNWI Wealth markedly by 2018.

Our Wealth Management Business

Our Wealth Management platform caters to High Networth and mass affluent
clients through a separate offering called 'Purple' providing a complete
range of financial products best suited to client needs using an advisory
model and an asset allocation approach.

A study done by Celent estimates that the players in the unorganized market
have approximately 1.5 times the assets under management of the organized
sector. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity. With customer
needs for products and services getting more sophisticated with growing
income levels organized players will drive the consolidation within this
industry.

With assets under management of Rs. 8 billion and current presence across
four cities - Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune and Ahmedabad we believe that our
holistic wealth management offering and strong relationship management
skills will enable us build a scalable and profitable wealth management
business.

Though the financial position of MOFSL continues to remain strong, during
the year under review, there was a marginal fall in revenues by 11.04% from
Rs. 722.36 million in 2008-09 to Rs. 642.59 million in 2009-10. This has
been due to the overall fall in the interest rates in the markets in the
year. Your company continues to hold its product portfolio in respect of
its products such as loans against shares, corporate financing, arbitrage
etc. The yields on the margin funding book and the arbitrage business in
the current year compared to the previous year have also been relatively
lesser. Also, the yields on surplus treasury funds invested have decreased
compared to the previous year.

The decrease in income was partly balanced by a decrease in finance costs.
During the year finance cost decreased from Rs. 73.18 million in 2008-09 to
Rs. 28.46 million in 2009-10 primarily on account of decrease in interest
rates and capitalization of finance cost to the extent related/ attributed
to the acquisition/construction of Building Project. Other costs decreased
marginally by 2.04% from Rs. 26.29 million in 2008-09 to Rs. 25.75 million
in 2009-10.

Profit before tax (PBT) was down by 6.07% from Rs. 610.15 million in 2008-
09 to Rs. 573.10 million in 2009-10. Profit after tax (PAT) was down by
6.44%, from Rs. 453.12 million in 2008-09 to Rs. 423.96 million in 2009-10.
Consequently, basic earnings per share (face value Re. 1) decreased from
Rs. 3.19 in 2008-09 to Rs. 2.97 in 2009-2010.

As at March 31, 2010, investments principally consisted of long-term
investments, totalling Rs. 582.36 million. Investments have increased by
Rs. 268.85 million from March 31, 2009, primarily on account of higher
deployment in other investments based on commitments given and acquisition
of further stake in subsidiary Company MOIAPL.

Current assets mainly comprised of stock in trade, cash and bank balances
and other current assets. As at March 31, 2010, cash and bank balances were
Rs. 250.61 million, of which Rs. 5 million was in fixed deposits with
banks.

Loans and Advances increase from Rs. 2,066.50 million as at March 31, 2009
to Rs. 2,966.90 million as at March 31, 2010, on account of increase in
loans and funds deployed in arbitrage business as at the year end.

Current liabilities and Provisions principally consist of liability in
respect of provision for expenses & tax deduction at source. It increased
from Rs. 385.96 million as at March 31, 2009 to Rs. 571.10 million as at

Due to improved market conditions, the consolidated financial profitability
of MOFSL has increased substantially. During 2009-10, MOFSL recorded 38.45%
jump in total revenues from Rs. 4,661.23 million in 2008-09 to Rs. 6453.25
million in 2009-10. The increase in income was partly offset by an increase
in operating expenditure from 20.82% of total revenues in 2008-09 to 25.25%
of the total revenues in 2009-10.

Borrowing during the year have increased compared to last year. Total

finance cost decreased from Rs. 178.40 million in 2001-09 to Rs. 96.24
million in 2009-10 primarily on account of decrease in interest rates and
capitalisation of finance cost to the extent related / attributed to the
acquisition / construction of Building Project.

Employee costs increased 13.59% from Rs. 1203.13 million in 2008-09 to
Rs.1366.57 million in 2009-10 mainly on account of general increase in
salaries and benefits. While in absolute terms this looks high, as a
percentage of total income, there was a decrease from 25.81% in 2008-09 to
21.18% in 2009-10.

The Company recorded 81.42% growth in profit before tax (PBT), which grew
from Rs. 1,395.80 million in 2008-09 to Rs. 2532.28 million in 2009-10.
Profit after tax (PAT) grew 86.68% from Rs. 934.31 million in 2008-09 to

Human Resources

A wide variety of initiatives were launched during the year to strengthen
connect with employees. Employee health camps were organized Pan India
where blood tests, BP and BMI tests, health talks were conducted. Yoga
sessions were started in the office premises, twice a week. Team bonding
events such as cricket, table tennis and carom tournaments were organized
on a large scale. Further all major occasions like Holi, Diwali and
Christmas were celebrated across the Group. Our employee newsletter 'The
Insider' covering organizational news, individual employee achievements,
travelogues, fun sections, etc. enables employees keep abreast with the
developments within the Group.

An important initiative undertaken during the year was the addition of
counselling services for our Pan India employees through partnership with
ICAS India for an Employee Assistance Programme called Wellness and
Wellbeing. The service aims at addressing the employees' emotional needs
and assists them to stay emotionally and mentally stress-free and healthy.

As part of our continuous effort to reward superior employee performance,
employee awards are given out across various categories during our
Foundation Day function. The process of choice of employee is well evolved
and democratic one that gives each department a platform to recognize high
performers in other teams too.

We conducted over 263 trainings sessions covering over 3,800 participants
on various subjects like effective communication skills, advanced excel,
basics of stock market, green belt trainings etc.

Setting a goal is the first step to achieving it. We ensured that a
detailed goal setting exercise was conducted well before the start of the
next appraisal cycle and almost 95% of employees completed their goal
setting process through the online HR portal. Comprehensive performance
management training was conducted across the company to ensure that a
standardized and structured performance appraisal was conducted.

The entire team for the newly set up asset management business was built
during the year with infusion of new talent from well established
companies. We believe that the trust and strong brand name of the Group
will enable us position ourselves as employer of choice for attracting new
talent.
