from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause

technological changes;

countries, inflation, deflation, recession, unanticipated fluctuation in interest rates, foreign

risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the
future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been
estimated.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of
the following risk factors and all other informations set forth in this Draft Letter of Offer, including the
risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that the Company currently faces. Additional risks
and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes to be
immaterial may also have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and
financial condition. If any or some combinations of the following risk or other risks that are not currently
known or believed to be material, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could suffer, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline and you may lose all or part
of your investment. In making an investment decision with respect to the issue contemplated herein, you
must rely on your own examination of the Company and the terms of such issue including the merits and
risks involved. Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position
to quantify the financial or other implications of any of the risks described in this section.
INTERNAL RISKS:
1. We are involved in a number of legal proceedings.
Our Company is involved in various Criminal, Civil & Tax related litigations which are at different
stages of adjudications in various forums. All criminal and civil cases have been filed by the company
while the tax cases have been filed by and against the company. No assurance can be given as to
whether these matters will be resolved in favour of or against our Company and/or these entities, nor
can an assurance be given that no further liability will arise out of these or future claims. A summary of the said pending litigations /demands /claims / notices and proceedings initiated against and by our

For more information please refer to “Outstanding Litigations and Material Developments”
commencing on page no. 125 of this Draft Letter of Offer.
2. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash
flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and lender consents and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to pay dividends in the future.
We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. The amount of our future
dividend payments, if any, will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. In addition, any dividend payments we make are subject to
the prior consent of our lenders pursuant to the terms of the agreements we made with them. So, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends in the future.
3. To ascertain the credit worthiness of our customers, we depend on our internal analysis and on the
information or representations made by the third parties, which may be materially incorrect,
incomplete or misleading. Any such misleading information may cause financial loss to the
Company.
10
In ascertaining credit worthiness of our prospective customers, we largely depend on internal analysis
made by our field executives or by the manager at the branch level. Though we take all possible steps to
adhere to KYC norms, we may fail while assessing genuiness of our customers. Any failure on their
part to honour their commitments may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and
operations, as we continue to rely on the information which may be or may not be true.
4. Our Company has entered into agreements for credit facilities that contain customary restrictive
covenants, placing certain limitations on our Company.
Our Company has availed credit facilities from various banks for which appropriate agreements have
been entered into. By virtue of these agreements we are bound by certain restrictive covenants. These
restrictive covenants, inter alia, require us to take the prior consent of the lenders for amending our
capital structure, creating a charge on our assets, undertaking mergers or amalgamations, expansion or
diversification of our business and the like.
In the event that we breach a restrictive covenant, our lenders could deem us to be in default and seek
early repayment of loans or increase our interest rates in certain circumstances. Our ability to execute
expansion plans, including our ability to obtain additional financing on terms and conditions acceptable
to us, could be severely and negatively impacted as a result of these restrictions and limitations. Our
failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in an event of default, which could accelerate
our need to repay the related borrowings and trigger cross-defaults under other borrowings. An event of
default would also affect our ability to raise new funds or renew maturing borrowings as needed to
conduct our operations and pursue our growth initiatives.
5. We face competition from both public and private sector banks which may adversely affect our
profitability.
With the entry of public and private sector banks, the competition has become very acute. Such banks
have access to low cost funds, wider network as compared to us. Though we are presently able to offer
competitive rates to our customers, we may not be able to do so in future. We may also not be able to
retain our customers. Such high competition may reduce our income and profits and adversely affect
our business and our financial performance.
6. We may be, in the future, enter into strategic alliances, investments, partnerships and acquisitions.
This may harm our business, dilute your ownership interest and cause us to incur debt.
As part of our growth strategy, we may enter into strategic alliances, make strategic investments,
establish partnerships and/or make acquisitions relating to ancillary businesses, technologies etc. We
may not be able to identify suitable investment opportunities, partners or acquisition candidates. If we
do identify suitable investment opportunities, partners or acquisition candidates, we may have difficulty
in accurately assessing the candidates, risks, placing an accurate valuation on it and we may be unable
to negotiate terms commercially acceptable or favourable to us or complete those transactions at all.
Any potential acquisition, alliance or joint venture could involve a number of specific risks, including
diversion of management's attention, higher costs, unanticipated events or circumstances, legal
liabilities, failure of the business of the acquired company, fall in value of investments and amortization
of acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
7. Possible Delay in Deployment of Funds will affect the profitability of our Company.
The funds are being raised for facilitating the objects mentioned under “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page no. 44 of this Draft Letter of Offer. However there can be a possible delay in deployment of
funds due to unforeseen circumstances. All these factors may suitably affect the deployment of funds
and thereby profitability of our Company.
11
8. Our inability to make payments towards our financial indebtedness could adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.
We are financially indebted to the tune of Rs. 1835.81 Lacs to various financial institutions as on 31st
March, 2010. Although we have been regular in making payments against these loans, we however do
not assure that we would be regular in doing so in near future as we may not generate cash sufficient to
enable us to service our debt and make periodic repayments towards it as a result of certain internal
factors as well as unforeseen factors. Any defaults made in servicing the debt as well as the repayments
may invoke legal proceedings against us together with financial penalties which may adversely affect
our financial condition.
9. Our success to a large extent depends upon our core management team and skilled personnel and
our ability to attract and retain such persons.
Many of the core management and skilled personnel of our Company have a decade or more of relevant
industry experience and they have been integral to the growth of our Company. Our success largely
depends on the core management team and skilled personnel who oversee the day-to-day Operations,
strategy and growth of our business. The Promoters of the Company have expertise and have vast
exposure in financial services. If one or more members of our core management team are unable or
unwilling to continue in their present positions, such persons may be difficult to replace and our
Company’s operations may be affected. In addition, our success in expanding our business will also
depend, in part, on our ability to attract, retain and motivate appropriately qualified skilled personnel.
Our failure to successfully attract and retain our core management team and skilled personnel could
adversely affect our operations.
10. Major fraud, lapses of internal control or system failures could adversely impact Company’s
business.
Our Company is vulnerable to risk arising from the failure of employees to adhere to approved
procedures, system controls, fraud, system failures, information system disruptions, communication
systems failure and interception during transmission through external communication channels or networks Failure to protect fraud or breach in security may adversely affect our Company’s operations
and financial performance. Our reputation could also be adversely affected by significant fraud
committed by our employees, agents, customers or third parties.
11. Our Company may incur losses in future financial years due to the internal & external risk
factors.
Every business is averse to risk and may incur loss in future due to various factors inherent to them
being internal and external risk factors. Our industry is exposed to economic scenario in the Country as
well as developments in financial service industry. Any slow-down phase in the economic growth may
have a negative impact on the financial service industry including other industries and our Company
could also be impacted by the same. Downturns or disruptions in the securities markets could reduce
transaction volumes, cause a decline in the business or adversely impact our profitability and ability to
sustain our present rapid growth rate.
12. Our failure to manage growth effectively may adversely impact our business.
Our ability to grow depends primarily upon our ability to manage key issues such as increasing market
share, selecting and retaining skilled manpower, maintaining an effective technology platform that may
be continually upgraded, developing a knowledge base to face emerging challenges, and ensuring a high standard of customer service. The inability of our Company to effectively manage any of these
issues may adversely affect our Company’s business and future financial performance.
12
13. The Issuer has unsecured debt that is repayable on demand.
The Issuer has availed certain unsecured loans and repayment of these loans may be called by lenders at
any time. In such event, we would need to find alternative sources of financing, which may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. This may have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.
14. If we cannot secure the additional capital we need to fund our operations on acceptable terms or
at all, our business will suffer.
Our business requires significant capital. We have historically relied on significant equity issuances,
Credit facilities from the various Banks as well as cash flow from operations to fund our operations,
capital expenditures and expansion.
Expanding our geographic footprint and extending new proprietary and distributed product and service
offerings to our members will have an impact on our long-term capital requirements, which are expected
to increase significantly.
Our ability to obtain additional capital is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including our future
financial position, the continued success of our core loan products, our results of operations and cash
flows, any necessary government regulatory approvals, contractual consents, general market conditions
for capital-raising activities, and economic, political and other conditions in India and elsewhere. In
addition, adverse developments in the Indian and world credit markets may significantly increase our
debt service costs and the overall costs of our borrowings. We may not be able to secure timely
additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any additional financing may place limits on our financial and operating flexibility. Any new securities we issue could have additional rights,
preferences and privileges than those available to our shareholders. Any such issuances of equity and
securities convertible into equity would dilute the holding of Equity Shareholders. If we are unable to
obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, if and when we require it, our ability
to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be limited and our business
prospects, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
15. Loans due within one year account for all of our interest income, and a significant reduction in
short term loans may result in a corresponding decrease in our interest income.
All of the loans we issue are due within one year of disbursement. The relatively short-term nature of our
loans means that our long-term interest income stream is less certain than if a portion of our loans were
for a longer term. In addition, our members may not obtain new loans from us upon maturity of their
existing loans, particularly if competition increases. The potential instability of our interest income could
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
16. Contingent liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition.
As of 31st
March, 2010 we had contingent liabilities in the following amounts, as disclosed in our
financial statements:
• Disputed Demand of Income Tax Rs. 58.70 Lacs (Previous year Rs.58.70 Lacs) (Against which
the Company has paid Rs. 11.00 Lacs [Previous year Rs.11.00 Lacs] under protest which are
shown as advances)
If any time we must recognize a material portion of these contingent liabilities, it would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
17. Our Branch Managers and other employees may be the target of violent crimes which may be
adversely affect our business, operations, and ability to recruit and retain employees.

We believe that the potential for crimes like theft & robberies is highest in the more remote villages we
serve, where our Branch Managers may be forced to transport cash further due to the lack of local
banking facilities. To the extent that our employees are subject to violent attacks, theft or robbery in the
course of their duties, our ability to service such areas will be adversely affected and our employee
recruiting and retention efforts may be curtailed which would negatively impact our expansion and growth.
18. A failure of our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, could impair our
liquidity, disrupt our businesses, cause damage to our reputation and result in losses.
Our business is highly dependent on our ability to process a large number of transactions. Our financial,
accounting, data processing or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or
become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, adversely affecting
our ability to process these transactions. Additionally, shortcomings or failures in our internal processes
or systems could lead to an impairment of our financial condition, financial loss, disruption of our
business and reputational damage.
Our ability to operate and remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to maintain and upgrade
our information technology systems on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our failure to maintain or
improve or upgrade our management information systems in a timely manner could materially and
adversely affect our competitiveness, financial position and results of operations.
We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems, arising from events that are wholly or
partially beyond our control including, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunication
service disruptions, which may result in a loss or liability to us.
19. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, the accuracy
and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected.
We have taken steps intended to enhance our internal controls commensurate to the size of our business,
primarily through the formation of a designated internal audit team with additional technical accounting
and financial reporting experience. However certain matters such as fraud and embezzlement cannot be eliminated entirely given the cash nature of our business. If we fail to enhance our internal controls to
meet the demands that will be placed upon us as a listed company, we may be unable to report our
financial results accurately and prevent fraud. While we expect to remediate any such issues, we cannot
assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely manner, which could impair our ability to accurately
and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
20. Microcredit lending poses unique risks not generally associated with other forms of lending in
India, and, as a result, we may experience increased levels of Non-performing loans and related
provisions and write-offs that negatively impact our results of operations.
Our core mission of Micro Lending Operations is to provide loans to fund the small businesses and other
income generating activities of our members. Our members are typically poor and illiterate women living
in rural India, who have limited sources of income, savings and credit histories and who cannot provide
us with any collateral or security for their borrowings. As a result, our members pose a higher risk of
default than borrowers with greater financial resources and more established credit histories and
borrowers living in urban areas with better access to education, employment opportunities, and social
services. In addition, we rely on non-traditional guarantee mechanisms in connection with our loan
products, which are generally secured by informal individual and group guarantees, rather than tangible
assets. As a result, our loan products pose a higher degree of risk than loans secured with physical
collateral. Due to the precarious circumstances of our members and our non-traditional lending practices we may, in the future, experience increased levels of non-performing loans and related provisions and
write-offs that negatively impact our business and results of operations.
14
21. We require certain statutory and regulatory approvals for conducting our business and our failure
to obtain or retain them in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our operations.
As a Category “A” NBFC, we are subject to regulation by Indian governmental authorities, including
the Reserve Bank of India, or RBI. Regulations stipulated by RBI require us to maintain a minimum capital adequacy of 12% and make provisions in respect of NPAs. The laws and regulations governing
us could change in the future and any such changes could adversely affect our business, our future
financial performance and in turn the price at which our Equity Shares are traded at BSE, by requiring a
restructuring of our activities, increasing costs or otherwise.
We require certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for operating our business,
including registration with the RBI as a NBFC. For Approvals to carry on our Business refer to section
“Government and other Approvals” beginning on page no. 172 of this Draft Letter of Offer. Further,
such approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions must be maintained/renewed over time,
applicable requirements may change and we may not be aware of or comply with all requirements all of
the time. Additionally, we may need additional approvals from regulators to introduce new insurance and
other fee based products to our members. In particular, we are required to obtain a certificate of
registration for carrying on business as a NBFC that is subject to numerous conditions.
Additionally, we are required to make various filings with the RBI, the Stock Exchanges, the RoC and
other relevant authorities pursuant to the provisions of RBI regulations, Companies Act and other
regulations. If we fail to comply with these requirements, or a regulator claims we have not complied,
in meeting these requirements, we may be subject to penalties and compounding proceedings.
22. If we are unable to protect our trade names, others may be able to use our trade names to compete
more effectively.
We have not yet obtained trademark registrations for our corporate name Arman Financial Services
Limited and our logo. As a result, we may not be able to prevent the use of our name or variations
thereof by any other party, nor ensure that we will continue to have a right to use it. We further cannot
assure you that our goodwill in such brand name or logo will not be diluted by third parties due to our
failure to obtain the trademarks, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our reputation, goodwill, business, financial condition and results of operations.
23. Delisting of Securities listed on Jaipur Stock Exchange may impact on financial position of the
Company.
The equity shares of the company are listed on BSE and JSE. There has not been any trading in the
Equity shares since long on JSE. We have already made application for delisting of our securities listed
on JSE vide Special resolution passed in the AGM held for the financial year 2004. But said Stock
Exchange has not delisted our securities yet and company has not paid any listing fees from date of
application of the same and said matter is pending since last 6 years. In future, we may be required to
pay listing fees as demanded by JSE if and when they delist our securities as per norms of the Listing
Agreement entered by us which could impact on financial position of our company.
24. The proposed objects of the issue for which funds are being raised have not been appraised by
any bank or financial institution. Any inability on our part to effectively utilize the Issue proceeds
could adversely affect our financials.
The objects of the issue for which part of the fund are being raised have not been appraised by any bank
or financial institution. In the absence of such independent appraisal, the requirement of funds raised
through this issue, as specified in the section titled “objects of the issue” are based on the company’s estimates and deployment of these funds is at the discretion of the management and the Board of
Directors of the company and will not be subject to monitoring by any independent agency. Any
inability on our part to effectively utilize the Issue proceeds could adversely affect our financials.
15
25. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect it against certain operating hazards and
this may have a material adverse effect on the company’s business.
We have taken insurance policiy to cover fire, earthquake for its registered office as we believes that the insurance cover all those risks , there can be no assurance that any claim under
the insurance policies maintained by the company will be honored fully, in part or on time. To the
extent that the company suffers loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or which exceeds the
insurance coverage, the results of operations or cash flows may be affected.
26. Seasonality of the business may have an adverse impact on our business.
Our business operations and the banking industry may be affected by seasonal trends in the Indian
economy. Generally, the period from October to March is the peak period in India for retail economic
activity. This increased, or seasonal, activity is the result of several holiday periods, improved weather
conditions and crop harvests. We generally experience higher volumes of business during this period.
Any significant event such as unforeseen floods, earthquakes, political instabilities, epidemics or
economic slowdowns during this peak season would materially and adversely affect our results of
operations and growth. During these periods, we may continue to incur operating expenses, but our
income from operations may be delayed or reduced.
27. The trading price of our Equity Shares may be subject to volatility and you may not be able to sell
your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
The trading prices of publicly traded securities may be highly volatile. Factors affecting the trading price of our Equity Shares will include:
• variations in our operating results;
• announcements of new products, strategic alliances or agreements by us or by our competitors;
• increases and decreases in our member base;
• recruitment or departure of key personnel;
• changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by any securities
analysts that elect to research and report on our Equity Shares ;
• market conditions affecting the financial and microfinance sector, our members income generating
activities and the economy as a whole; and
• Adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to our business.
In addition, if the stock markets experience a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Equity
Shares could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The
trading price of our Equity Shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in
our industry even if these events do not directly affect us.
Each of these factors, among others, could materially affect the price of our Equity Shares.
28. Future issuances of Equity Shares or future sales of Equity Shares by our Promoters and certain
shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, may result in a decrease of the market price
of our Equity Shares.
In the future, we may issue additional equity securities for financing and other general corporate
purposes. In addition, our Promoters and certain shareholders may dispose of their interests in our Equity
Shares directly, indirectly or may pledge or encumber their Equity Shares. Any such issuances or sales or
the prospect of any such issuances or sales could result in a dilution of shareholders’ holding or a
negative market perception and potentially in a lower market price of our Equity Shares.
16
29. A failure of our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, could impair our
liquidity, disrupt our businesses, cause damage to our reputation and result in losses.
Our business is highly dependent on our ability to process a large number of transactions. Our financial,
accounting, data processing or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, adversely affecting
our ability to process these transactions. Additionally, shortcomings or failures in our internal processes
or systems could lead to an impairment of our financial condition, financial loss, disruption of our
business and reputational damage.
Our ability to operate and remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to maintain and upgrade
our information technology systems on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our failure to maintain or
improve or upgrade our management information systems in a timely manner could materially and
adversely affect our competitiveness, financial position and results of operations.
We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems, arising from events that are wholly or
partially beyond our control including, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunication
service disruptions, which may result in a loss or liability to us.
30. The imposition of an interest-rate ceiling, may adversely affect our operating results and
financial position.
As a Category ‘A’ NBFC, we are subject to regulation by Indian governmental authorities, including
the Reserve Bank of India, or RBI. A number of states in India have enacted laws to regulate money
lending transactions. These state laws establish maximum rates of interest that can be charged by a person lending money. For unsecured loans, these maximum rates typically range from 12.0% to 15.0%
per annum.
The RBI, however, has not established a ceiling on the rate of interest that can be charged by a NBFC in
the microfinance sector. Currently, the RBI requires that the board of all NBFCs adopt an interest rate
model taking into account relevant factors such as the cost of funds, margin and risk premium. It is
unclear whether NBFCs are required to comply with the provisions of state money lending laws that
establish ceilings on interest rates. In the event that the government of any state in India requires us to comply with the provisions of their respective state money lending laws, or imposes any penalty against
us, our Directors or our officers, including for prior non-compliance, our business, results of operations
and financial condition may be adversely affected.
31. Future issuances or sales of the Equity Shares could significantly affect the trading price of
the Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of Equity Shares by our Company or the disposal of Equity Shares by any of the
Company’s major shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sale if occur may significantly
affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
32. In absence of lock in requirements for Promoter in the rights issue, Promoter or Promoter
Group may offload part of their holding/ shareholding allotted in Rights Issue in the market.
Since the promoter’s shares are not under lock-in, the Promoter or Promoter Group are free and may
offload part of their shareholding in the secondary market, which may cause the price to be very volatile
or may cause the price to decline.
33. Company has not appointed Company Secretary as Compliance Officer in compliance with
Clause 47 of Listing Agreement entered with the BSE.
Clause 47 of the Listing Agreement requires Company Secretary should be a Compliance Officer of the
Company. Pursuant to Section 383A of the Companies Act, 1956, every Company having paid up share
17
capital of Rs. 5 crores require to appoint Whole Time Company Secretary. Presently paid up capital of
the company is below of Rs. 5 crores, therefore company is not in default under Companies Act.
Company has appointed Mr. Aalok J Patel, the director of the Company as the Compliance Officer for
the proposed Rights Issue. However company has not received any notice from BSE for this. On
completion of this rights issue its paid up capital will exceed Rs. 5 crores and Company will have to appoint Whole time Company Secretary as the Compliance Officer of the Company.
34. Promoters and Promoter Group of the Company pledged 12,39,212 shares with IDBI Bank.
Promoters and Promoter Group of the issuer Company have pledged 12,39,212 equity shares (30.41%
of total paid up capital of the company) with IDBI Bank Ltd, C G Road Branch, Ahmedabad (Lender)
in respect of credit facilites availed by the Company. If there is any defult in repayment of said Loan or
payment of interest, Pledged Equity Shares upto value of outstanding amount, will be transfer in favour
of the said Lender, which may cause adverse effect on the present Shareholding of Promoter &
Promoter Group.
EXTERNAL RISKS
35. We are subject to fluctuations in interest rates and other market risks, which may materially and
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our business substantially depends on interest income from operations. Market risk refers to the
probability of variations in our interest income or in the market value of our assets and liabilities due to
interest rate volatility. Changes in interest rates affect our interest income and the volume of loans we
issue. Increases in short-term interest rates could increase our cost of borrowing and adversely affect our
profitability. When interest rates rise, we must pay higher interest on our borrowings while interest
earned on our assets does not rise as quickly because our loans are issued at fixed interest rates. Interest rate increases could result in adverse changes in our interest income, reducing our growth rate and the
value of our financial assets.
The market value of a security with a fixed interest rate generally decreases when the prevailing interest
rates rise, which may have an adverse effect on our earnings and financial condition. In addition, we may
incur costs (which, in turn, will impact our results) as we implement strategies to reduce future interest
rate exposure. The market value of an obligation with a floating interest rate can be adversely affected
when interest rates increase. Increases in interest rates may reduce gains or require us to record losses on
sales of our loans and, as a result, adversely affect our financial condition.
36. Tax rates applicable to Our Company may increase and may have an adverse impact on our
business.
The tax rates including surcharge and education cess applicable to us for fiscal 2011 are 33.99%. Any
increase in the tax rates may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations and we
can provide no assurance as to the extent of the impact of such changes.
37. The repeal of or changes in the regulatory policies that currently encourage financial institutions
to provide capital to the microfinance sector could adversely impact the cost and availability of capital.
The RBI requires domestic commercial banks operating in India to maintain 40.0% of their loan advances, or a credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher, as priority
sector advances. These include advances to agriculture, including self help groups, or SHGs, and joint
liability groups, or JLGs, of individual farmers, small enterprises, retail trade, microcredit, education
loans and housing loans. In addition, the RBI also requires 18.0% of the loan advances to be applied
towards the agriculture sector and 10.0% towards the weaker sections, which are defined to include small
farmers owning less than five acres and artisans whose individual credit limit does not exceed Rs.
50,000.00. When banks are unable to meet these requirements, they often rely on specialized institutions, including Micro Finance Institutions, or MFIs, to provide them with access to qualifying advances
18
through lending programs and loan assignments. These bank requirements result in significant funding
for the microfinance sector. To the extent that changes in bank regulations eliminate or reduce banks
requirements for priority sector advances, less capital would be available to MFIs. In such event, our
access to funds and the cost of our capital would be negatively impacted, and our results of operations
and financial condition would be adversely affected.
38. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, pandemic diseases or other catastrophic events could adversely
impact our business and results of operations and financial condition.
Our registered office, branch offices and the majority of our infrastructure, including administrative,
sales, and other personnel are located in India. A substantial portion of our operations and most of our
members are located in the areas of rural India that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of natural
calamities such as floods or drought. In the event that an earthquake, terrorist attack or other catastrophe
were to destroy any part of our facilities, destroy or disrupt vital infrastructure systems or interrupt
operations for any extended period of time, our business, financial condition and operating results would
be adversely affected. In addition, to the extent that such occurrences and the adverse economic
conditions caused by them reduced our members’ income levels and their ability to repay loans made by
us, our loan repayments would decline and our results o f operations, ability to raise new capital at
acceptable rates and overall financial condition would be adversely affected. Pandemic disease, caused
by a virus such as H5N1, or the avian flu virus, or H1N1, the swine flu virus, could have an adverse
effect on our business. The potential impact of such a pandemic on our results of operations and financial
position is highly speculative, and would depend on numerous factors, including: the regions of the
world most affected; the effectiveness of treatment of the infected population; our insurance coverage
and related exclusions; the possible macroeconomic effects of a pandemic on our asset portfolio; the
effect on lapses and surrenders of existing policies, as well as sales of new policies; and many other variables.
39. All of our revenue is derived from business in India and a decrease in economic growth in India
could cause our business to suffer.
We derive all of our revenue from our operations in India and, consequently, our performance and the
quality and growth of our business are dependent on the health of the economy of India. This economy has sustained growth over the five years ended fiscal 2010 with an average real gross domestic product
growth rate of approximately 8.5%. However, the Indian economy may be adversely affected by factors
such as adverse changes in liberalization policies, social disturbances, terrorist attacks and other acts of
violence or war, natural calamities or interest rates changes, which may also affect the microfinance
industry. Any such factor may contribute to a decrease in economic growth in India which could
adversely impact our business and financial performance.
40. Political instability or changes in the Government in India or in the Government of the states
where we operate could cause us significant adverse effects.
We are incorporated in India and all of our operations, assets and personnel are located in India.
Consequently, our performance and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be affected
by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic
instability and other political and economic developments affecting India. The central government has
traditionally exercised, and continues to exercise, a significant influence over many aspects of the
economy. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be affected by
interest rates, changes in central government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political,
economic or other developments in or affecting India. Since 1991, successive central governments have
pursued policies of economic liberalization and financial sector reforms. However, there can be no
assurance that such policies will be continued. A significant change in the central government‘s policies, in particular, those relating to the microfinance industry in India, could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations and could cause the price of our Equity Shares to decline.
19
41. Lack of sufficient power, information technology infrastructure, or physical infrastructure could
limit or disrupt our operations and cause substantial adverse effects.
Any disruption in basic infrastructure, or the failure of the central, state, or local governments of India to
improve the existing infrastructure could negatively impact our ability to continue developing our products and delivering them to our members. This may result in additional costs for us and have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

SECTION III – INTRODUCTION
SUMMARY
SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY
Economic Conditions
Recovery in the global economy picked up momentum in the fourth quarter of 2009. The speed of
recovery, however, remains significantly divergent. The projections for global output for 2010
generally point to consolidating recovery, led by the Emerging Market Economies (EMEs). The WTO
projects world trade to stage a strong recovery in 2010.
Concerns about domestic output growth are now subdued as the recovery is getting more broad-based.
This is the result of a rebound in industrial output, better prospects for the Rabi crop and continuing
resilience of the services sector. Current data suggest increasing levels of capacity utilization in recent
months. Subject to normal monsoons, output growth during 2010-11 is expected to gain further
momentum.
The risks to the overall global macroeconomic environment have, however, increased because of large
public debt in advanced economies, on the back of concerns relating to reduction in potential output,
high unemployment rates, impaired financial systems and premature exit from the policy stimulus.
Closer home, the improvement in global macroeconomic conditions is reflected in the turnaround in
India’s exports and the return of capital flows. With stronger recovery in EMEs driven largely by
domestic demand, improving exports and return of capital flows, EMEs face the risks of inflation and
asset price build up.
Growth Outlook
Support for sustained momentum in growth can be expected from all three major components, viz.,
agriculture, industry and services. Nevertheless, apart from monsoon related uncertainty, other
downside risks to growth need to be recognized. 1. Private consumption demand needs to improve significantly to support the growth momentum. 2. Global recovery, despite gaining strength, is expected
to remain fragile, which has implications for exports. 3. The exit from fiscal stimulus and the growth-
supportive monetary policy, unless calibrated carefully, could impact the growth process. Finally, the
domestic saving rate has exhibited some decline, led by significant decline in public sector savings.
This has adverse implications for the potential growth of the economy.(Source-Reserve Bank of India)
Non-Banking Financial Company
The global economy was hit by a severe credit crisis beginning in 2008 which converted into a
recession for many countries across the world. Indian economy was also affected by the same due to its
global linkages. However it recovered much faster than the global economy and the impact was also not
as severe as that of developed countries. During September 2008 the crisis led to a liquidity crunch in
financial markets and impacted the financial institutions in India. This review considers the impact on
NBFC sector, its current position and presents an outlook on the same. The data is for 19 CARE rated
NBFCs which cover more than 40% of the entire NBFC sector (excluding development financial
institutions, brokers and microfinance institutions) (Source –Reserve Bank of India)
22
Microfinance in India
By definition in India Micro-finance refers to small savings, credit and insurance services extended to
socially and economically disadvantaged segments of society. In the Indian context terms like "small
and marginal farmers", " rural artisans" and "economically weaker sections" have been used to broadly define micro-finance customers. (Source-Lok Capital Report)
Demand for Microfinance
Our country has a population of 116.60 Crores and a population growth rate of 1.548%.About 71% live
in rural areas, while 29% live in urban areas. India’s diverse economy encompasses traditional village
farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of
services. Services are a major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India’s
output with less than one third being the labor force. Slightly more than half of the work force is in
agriculture, leading the government to articulate a rural economic development programmer that
includes creating basic infrastructure to improve the lives of the rural poor and boost economic
performance.
The economy has posted an average growth rate of more than 7% in the decade since 1997, reducing
poverty by about 10 percentage points. India achieved 8.5% GDP growth in 2006, 9.0% in 2007 and
7.3% in 2008, 6.5% in 2009. Decreases because of Global finance crisis are to be expected. The 2010
GDP is expected to be 7.2% thereby significantly expanding the manufacturing processes. Microfinance
is not a charity.
Around 300 million people or about 60 million households are living below the poverty line. It is further estimated that of these households, only about 20 percent have access to credit from the formal
sector and other percentage of people do not access credit the from the formal sector, they access
finance from the unorganized sector .The segment of the rural population above the poverty line but not
rich enough to be of interest to the formal financial institutions also does not have good access to the
formal financial intermediary services, including savings services.(Source –Bharat Microfinance
Report)
Trends in the Microfinance Industry
Microfinance in India is playing an important role in poverty alleviation and is widely credited for its
success both nationally and internationally. India’s labor force-Agriculture (60%), Industry (12%) and
services (28%) clearly indicate that even today agriculture is a major employment generator. However,
in terms of contribution to GDP, agriculture contributes only 17.2%, whereas industry (29.1%) and
services (53.7%) contribute much more.
From the above, it is evident that though there is scope for employment generation in agriculture, there
is a significant shift to services and industries, suggesting that there has been a migration of population
towards urban locations. With 25% of the population still living below the poverty line and an
unemployment rate of 6.8%, life in urban locations throughout the country is going to be more difficult.
Hence to meet this challenge, the Microfinance sector is reaching out to more of the urban poor. Thus there is a significant shift towards urban microfinance. (Source- www.sa-dhan.net)
Current Challenge in the Microfinance Industry
Microfinance is effectively moving towards a banking type of sector through gradual evolution. Clients
are aspiring for large credits for doing scaled up economic activity. Since RBI is stipulating higher
CAR norms, MFIs need to bring in capital to meet this growing demand of the clients. We need to link the clients with market and technologies. The need for this group is indeed costly as they are scattered
23
and tend to use only tiny loans. Designing of the right products for clients is still a great challenge. To
cope with the growing needs the industry is expanding fast and as a result competent human resources
is increasingly becoming an issue.
Demand for Credit
In terms of demand for micro-credit, there are three segments:
1. Market segment, those who are landless and are engaged in agricultural work on a seasonal
basis, and manual laborers in forestry, mining, household industries, construction and transport.
2. Market segment is small and marginal farmers and rural artisans, weavers and those self-
employed in the urban informal sector as hawkers, vendors, and workers in household
microenterprises.
3. Market segment is of small and medium farmers who have gone in for commercial crops such
as surplus paddy and wheat, cotton and others engaged in dairying, poultry, fishery, etc. Among
non-farm activities, this segment includes those in villages and slums, engaged in processing or
manufacturing activity, running provision stores, repair workshops, tea shops, and various
service enterprises. (Source-www.basixindia.com)
Further, many more women were willing to work. This has been corroborated by the results of a survey
done by the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO), 43rd round, which has revealed that there is
a vide variety of work which rural women combine with household work. In the NSSO survey it has
also been estimated that a large percentage of rural women in the age group of 15 years and above, who
are usually engaged in household work, are willing to accept work at household premises (29.3
percent), in activities such as dairy (9.5 percent), poultry (3 percent), cattle rearing, spinning and
weaving (3.4 percent), tailoring (6.1 percent) and manufacturing of wood and cane products etc. Amongst the women surveyed, 27.5 percent rural women were seeking regular full-time work, and 65.3
percent were seeking part-time work. To start or to carry on such work, 53.6 percent women wanted
initial finance on easy terms, and 22.2 percent wanted working capital facilities.
SUMMARY OF BUSINESS

SECTION IV-ABOUT THE ISSUER COMPANY
KEY INDUSTRY REGULATION AND POLICIES
The following description is a summary of the relevant regulations and policies as prescribed by the
central / state governments that are applicable to the Company in India. The information detailed in this
chapter has been obtained from publications available in the public domain. The regulations set out
below are not exhaustive, and are only intended to provide general information to the investors and are
neither designed nor intended to be a substitute for professional legal advice.
Introduction
The Company is incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and complies with the provisions of the
said Act and the rules made by the Central Government along with the administrative instructions given
by the Government authorities from time to time.
Arman is one of the few Category `A’ Non Banking Finance Company (NBFC) - Asset Finance Company -`D’ in the state of Gujarat which is registered with Reserve Bank of India vide Certificate of
Registration No. 01.00066 under section 45-IA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 issued on 6th
November, 1998 to our company by Reserve Bank of India, Department of Non-Banking Supervision,
Ahmedabad Regional Office.
As per the RBI Act, a financial institution has been defined as a company which includes a non-banking
institution carrying on as its business or part of its business the financing activities, whether by way of
making loans or advances or otherwise, of any activity, other than its own and it is engaged in the
activities of loans and advances, acquisition of shares/stock/bonds/debentures/securities issued by the
Government of India or other local authorities or other marketable securities of like nature, leasing,
hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business but does not include any institution whose principal
business is that of carrying out any agricultural or industrial activities or the sale/purchase/construction
of immovable property.
Any company which carries on the business of a non-banking financial institution as its principal
business is to be treated as an NBFC. Since the term 'principal business' has not been defined in law, the
RBI has clarified through a press release (Ref. No. 1998-99/1269) in 1999, that in order to identify a
particular company as an NBFC, it will consider both the assets and the income pattern as evidenced
from the last audited balance sheet of the company to decide its principal business. The company will
be treated as an NBFC if its financial assets are more than 50 per cent of its total assets (netted off by
intangible assets) and income from financial assets should be more than 50 per cent of the gross
income. Both these tests are required to be satisfied as the determinant factor for principal business of a
company.
With effect from 1997, NBFCs were not permitted to commence or carry on the business of a non-
banking financial institution without obtaining a Certificate of Registration (CoR). Further, with a view
to imparting greater financial soundness and achieving the economies of scale in terms of efficiency of operations and higher managerial skills, the RBI has raised the requirement of minimum net owned
fund from Rs. 2.5 million to Rs. 20 million for the NBFC which commences business on or after April
21, 1999. Further, every NBFC is required to submit to the RBI a certificate, from its statutory auditor
within one month from the date of finalization of the balance sheet and in any case not later than
December 30th of that year, stating that it is engaged in the business of non-banking financial
institution requiring it to hold a CoR.
1. Regulation of NBFCs registered with the RBI
NBFCs are primarily governed by the RBI Act, 1934 (“RBI Act”), the Non-Banking Financial (Deposit
Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007, (“APD
56
Directions”), the Non-Banking Financial Companies Acceptance of Public Deposits (Reserve Bank)
Directions, 1998, (“Public Deposit Directions”), the Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting
or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 (“Non- Deposit Accepting
NBFC Directions”), and the provisions of the Non- Banking Financial Companies Prudential Norms
(Reserve Bank) Directions, 1998. In addition to these regulations, NBFCs are also governed by various circulars, notifications, guidelines and directions issued by the RBI from time to time.
2. Types of Activities that NBFCs are permitted to carry out
Although by definition, NBFCs are permitted to operate in similar sphere of activities as banks, there
are a few important, key differences. The most important distinctions are:
(i) an NBFC cannot accept deposits repayable on demand – in other words, NBFCs can only accept
fixed term deposits. Thus, NBFCs are not permitted to issue negotiable instruments, such as cheques
which are payable on demand; and
(ii) NBFCs are not allowed to deal in foreign exchange, even if they specifically apply to the RBI for
approval in this regard.
3. Types of NBFCs:
Section 45-IA of the RBI Act makes it mandatory for every NBFC to get itself registered with the
Reserve Bank in order to be able to commence any of the aforementioned activities.
Further, an NBFC may be registered as a deposit accepting NBFC (“NBFC-D”) or as a non-deposit accepting NBFC (“NBFC-ND”).
NBFCs registered with RBI are further classified as:
(i) asset finance companies;
(ii) investment companies; and/or
(iii) loan companies and/or
(iv) infrastructure finance companies
Our Company has been classified as an NBFC-D and is further classified as an “asset finance
company”. An asset finance company is an NBFC whose principal business is to finance physical assets
supporting productive / economic activity, such as automobiles, tractors, lathe machines, generator sets,
earth moving and material handling equipments, moving on own power and general purpose industrial
machines.
4. Regulatory Requiresments of an NBFC under the RBI Act
Net Owned Fund
Section 45-IA of the RBI Act provides that to carry on the business of a NBFC, an entity would have to
register as an NBFC with the RBI and would be required to have a minimum net owned fund of Rs.
2,00,00,000 (Rupees two crore only). For this purpose, the RBI Act has defined “net owned fund” to
mean:
(a) the aggregate of the paid-up equity capital and free reserves as disclosed in the latest balance sheet
of the company, after deducting (i) accumulated balance of losses, (ii) deferred revenue expenditure,
and (iii) other intangible assets; and
(b) further reduced by the amounts representing,
57
(1) investment by such companies in shares of (i) its subsidiaries, (ii) companies in the same group, (iii)
other NBFCs, and
(2) the book value of debentures, bonds, outstanding loans and advances (including hire purchase and
lease finance) made to, and deposits with (i) subsidiaries of such companies; and (ii) companies in the same group to the extent such amount exceeds 10% of (a) above.
Reserve Fund
In addition to the above, Section 45-IC of the RBI Act requires NBFCs to create a reserve fund and
transfer therein a sum of not less than 20% of its net profits earned annually before declaration of
dividend. Such sum cannot be appropriated by the NBFC except for the purpose as may be specified by
the RBI from time to time and every such appropriation is required to be reported to the RBI within 21
days from the date of such withdrawal.
Maintenance of liquid assets
The RBI through notification dated January 31, 1998, as amended has prescribed that every NBFC shall
invest and continue to invest in unencumbered approved securities valued at a price not exceeding the
current market price of such securities an amount which shall, at the close of business on any day be not
less than 10% in approved securities and the remaining in unencumbered term deposits in any
scheduled commercial bank; the aggregate of which shall not be less than 15% of the public deposit
outstanding at the last working day of the second preceding quarter.
5. Obligations of NBFC-D under the Public Deposit Directions
The RBI’s Public Deposit Directions governs the manner in which NBFCs may accept and/or hold
public deposits. The Public Deposit Directions places the following restrictions on NBFCs in
connection with accepting public deposits:
1. Prohibition from accepting any demand deposits: NBFCs are prohibited from accepting any public
deposit which is repayable on demand.
2. Ceiling on quantum of deposits: A NBFC which is classified as an asset finance company, (a) having

audited balance-sheet, may, accept or renew public deposits not exceeding one and one-half times of its
net owned funds or public deposit up to Rs. 10,00,00,000/- (Rupees ten crore), whichever is less.
Further, an asset finance company, (a) having net owned funds Rs. 25,00,000/- (Rupees twenty five lac
only) or more, (b) having complied with all the prudential norms, and (c) having obtained minimum
investment grade credit rating from a notified credit rating agency, may, accept or renew public
deposits not exceeding four times of its net owned funds.
3. Downgrading of credit-rating: In the event that the credit rating issued by a credit rating agency

investment grade, with respect to the relevant credit rating agency, the NBFC must (a) forthwith stop
accepting public deposit, (b) report the position of the credit rating within fifteen working days to the
RBI, and, (c) reduce, within three years from the date of such downgrading of credit rating, the amount
of excess public deposit to nil or the appropriate extent as permitted under the Public Deposit
Directions, by repayment as and when such deposit falls due or otherwise.

NBFC-Ds are required to comply with prescribed capital adequacy ratios, single and group exposure
norms, and other specified prudential requirements prescribed under the APD Directions. Some of the
important obligations are as follows:
i) Income Recognition: NBFC-Ds are required to follow recognised accounting principles in
connection with recognition of income. Income including interest/discount or any other
charges on NPA is recognised only when it is actually realised. Any such income

• Standard assets
• Sub standard assets
• Doubtful assets and
• Loss assets
Further, an NBFC-D must, after taking into account the time lag between an account becoming
nonperforming, its recognition as such, the realisation of the security and the erosion over time in the
value of security charged, make provision against sub-standard assets, doubtful assets and loss assets in
the manner prescribed by RBI.
iii) Loans against NBFC’s own shares prohibited: No NBFC-D can lend against its own shares, as of
July 1, 2008. Any outstanding loan granted by a NBFC-D against its own shares on the date of
commencement of these Directions shall be recovered by the NBFC as per the repayment schedule.
iv) NBFC failing to repay public deposit prohibited from making loans and investments: A NBFC-D
which has failed to repay any public deposit or part thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions
of such deposit, cannot grant any loan or other credit facility by whatever name called or make any
investment or create any other asset as long as such default exists.

netting them from the income or against the value of assets. Further, the provisions must be distinctly
indicated under separate heads of account as under:
• provisions for bad and doubtful debts
• provisions for depreciation in investments
Such provisions shall not be appropriated from the general provisions and loss reserves held if any, by
the NBFC-D and for each year shall be debited to the profit and loss account. The excess of provisions
if any, held under the heads general provisions and loss reserves may be written back without making
adjustment against them.
viii) Monthly Return: Every NBFC with total assets of Rs.100 crore and above according to the
previous 21 days audited balance sheet, is required to submit a monthly return within a period of 7 days
of the expiry of the month to which it pertains in the prescribed format to the Regional Office of the

common fees and charges, provide clear information explaining the key features of their services and
products that customers are interested in, provide information on any type of product and service offered, that may suit the customer’s needs, tell the customers about the various means through which

x) KYC Guidelines: NBFCs have been advised to follow certain customer identification procedure for
opening of accounts and monitoring transactions of suspicious nature for the purpose of reporting it to
appropriate authority, (“KYC Norms”). Accordingly, NBFCs have been advised to ensure that a proper
policy framework on ‘know your customer’ and anti-money laundering measures is formulated and put
in place with the approval of the RBI. The KYC Norms also require that while preparing operational
guidelines NBFCs may keep in mind to treat the information collected from the customer for the
purpose of opening of account as confidential and not divulge any details thereof for cross selling or
any other purposes. NBFCs may, therefore, ensure that information sought from the customer is
relevant to the perceived risk, is not intrusive, and is in conformity with the guidelines issued in this regard. Any other information from the customer should be sought separately with his /her consent and
after opening the account.

Norms for excessive interest rates
RBI through its circular dated May 24, 2007 directed all NBFCs to put in place appropriate internal
principles and procedures in determining interest rates and processing and other charges. In addition to
the aforesaid instruction RBI has issued a circular dated January 2, 2009 and a master circular on Fair
Practices Code dated July 1, 2009 for regulating the excessive rates of interest charged by the NBFCs. The aforementioned circular and the master circular stipulate that the board of each NBFC shall adopt
60
an interest rate model taking into account the various relevant factors such as cost of funds, margin and
risk premium etc. The rate of interest and the approach for gradation of risk and the rationale for
charging different rates of interest for different categories of borrowers shall be required to be disclosed
to the borrowers in the application form and communicated explicitly in the sanction letter. Further, the
same is also required to be made available on the company’s website or be published in the relevant newspapers and is required to be updated in the event of any change therein. Further, the rate of interest

7. Corporate Governance
Pursuant to RBI circular (DNBS.PD/CC 94/03.10.042/2006-07) dated May 8, 2007, the RBI has
proposed certain corporate governance guidelines for the consideration of all NBFC–D with an asset
size of Rs. 20 crore or more. The guidelines recommend that such NBFCs constitute an Audit
Committee, a Nomination Committee (to ensure that fit and proper persons are nominated as directors
on their respective boards) and a Risk Management Committee to institute risk management systems.
The guidelines have also issued instructions relating to credit facilities to directors, loans and advances
to relatives of the directors of the said NBFCs or to the directors of other companies and their relatives
and other entities, timeframe for recovery of such loans, etc. Such NBFCs are also required to frame
internal corporate governance guidelines based on the guidelines issued by the RBI on May 8, 2007.
8. Accounting Standards & Accounting policies
Subject to the changes in Indian Accounting Standards and regulatory environment applicable to a
NBFC we may change our accounting policies in the future and it might not always be possible to determine the effect on the Profit and Loss account of these changes in each of the accounting years
preceding the change.
In such cases our profit/ loss for the preceding years might not be strictly comparable with the profit/
loss for the period for which such accounting policy changes are being made.
9. Reporting by Statutory Auditor

report inter-alia certifying that the Directors have passed the requisite resolution(s), has complied with
the prudential norms relating to income recognition, accounting standards, asset classification and

Where FDI is allowed on an automatic basis without FIPB approval, the RBI would continue to be the
primary agency for the purposes of monitoring and regulating foreign investment. In cases where FIPB
approval is obtained, no approval of the RBI is required except with respect to fixing the issuance price,
although a declaration in the prescribed form, detailing the foreign investment, must be filed with the

LIMITED REVIEW REPORT – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To
The Board of Directors
Arman Financial Services Limited
Ahmedabad
1. We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited Financial Statements (incorporating Profit & Loss
Account and Assets and Liabilities) of Arman Financial Services Limited (the Company) for the
period ended 30th June, 2010 for the purposes of its inclusion in the offer document prepared by the
Company in connection with its proposed Rights Issue. These financial Statements are the
responsibility of the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these
financial statements based on our review.
2. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2400,
“Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance
as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited
primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and
thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do
not express an audit opinion.
3. Based on our review conducted as above nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the accompanying unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and other recognised accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the
information required to be disclosed in terms of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of
Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 issued by SEBI on August, 26, 2009
including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
4. This report is intended solely for inclusion in the Offer Document in connection with the proposed
Rights Issue of the equity shares of the Company and is not to be used, referred to or distributed for

Mode of Payment of Refund
Applicants should note that on the basis of name of the applicants, Depository Participant’s name,
Depository Participant-Identification number and Beneficiary Account Number provided by them in the
Composite Application Form, the Registrar to the Issue will obtain from the Depositories, the
applicant’s bank account details including nine digit MICR code. Hence, applicants are advised to
immediately update their bank account details as appearing on the records of the depository participant.
Please note that failure to do so could result in delays in credit of refunds to applicants at the applicant’s
sole risk and neither the Lead Manager nor the Company shall have any responsibility and undertake
any liability for the same.
The payment of refund, if any, would be done through various modes in the following order of
preference:
1. ECS (Electronic Clearing Service) – Payment of refund would be done through ECS for Investors
having an account at any centre where such facility has been made available. This mode of payment of
refunds would be subject to availability of complete bank account details including the MICR code as
appearing on a cheque leaf, from the Depositories. The payment of refunds is mandatory for Investors
having a bank account at the centers where ECS facility has been made available by the RBI (subject to
availability of all information for crediting the refund through ECS), except where the Investor, being eligible, opts to receive refund through NEFT, direct credit or RTGS.
2. NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) – Payment of refund shall be undertaken through NEFT
wherever the Investors’ bank has been assigned the Indian Financial System Code (IFSC), which can be
linked to a Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR), if any, available to that particular bank
branch. IFSC Code will be obtained from the website of RBI as on a date immediately prior to the date
of payment of refund, duly mapped with MICR numbers. Wherever the Investors have registered their nine digit MICR number and their bank account number while opening and operating the demat
account, the same will be duly mapped with the IFSC Code of that particular bank branch and the
payment of refund will be made to the Investors through this method. Our Bank in consultation with the
Lead Managers may decide to use NEFT as a mode of making refunds. The process flow in respect of
refunds by way of NEFT is at an evolving stage and hence use of NEFT is subject to operational
feasibility, cost and process efficiency. In the event that NEFT is not operationally feasible, the
payment of refunds would be made through any one of the other modes as discussed herein.
3. Direct Credit – Investors having bank accounts with the Bankers to the Issue shall be eligible to
receive refunds through direct credit. Charges, if any, levied by the relevant bank(s) for the same would
be borne by our Company.
4. RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) – Investors having a bank account at any of the centres where
such facility has been made available and whose refund amount exceeds Rs. 1 Lacs, have the option to
receive refund through RTGS. Such eligible Investors who indicate their preference to receive refund
through RTGS are required to provide the IFSC code in the CAF. In the event the same is not provided,
refund shall be made through ECS. Charges, if any, levied by the Refund Bank(s) for the same would
be borne by our Bank. Charges, if any, levied by the Investors’ bank receiving the credit would be
borne by the Investor.
5. For all other Investors, including those who have not updated their bank particulars with the MICR
code the refund orders will be dispatched under certificate of posting for value up to Rs. 1,500 and
208
through speed post / registered post for refund orders of Rs. 1,500 and above. Such refunds will be
made by cheques, pay or demand drafts drawn in favour of the sole / first Investor and payable at par.

which are in force, and are permitted by the SEBI from time to time.
Please note that any refund order exceeding Rs. 1,500 would be sent by registered post/ speed post
to the sole / first Investor’s registered address. Refund orders up to the value of Rs. 1,500 would
be sent under certificate of posting. Such refund orders would be payable at par at all places
where the applications were originally accepted. The same would be marked ‘Account Payee
only’ and would be drawn in favour of the sole /first Investor. Adequate funds would be made
available to the Registrar to the Issue for this purpose.
Printing of Bank Particulars on Refund Orders
As a matter of precaution against possible fraudulent encashment of refund orders due to loss or
misplacement, the particulars of the applicant’s bank account are mandatorily required to be given for
printing on the refund orders. Bank account particulars will be printed on the refund orders/refund
warrants, which can then be deposited only in the account specified. In case the share held in demat
mode, such bank account particulars will be obtained from the Depository. The Company will in no
way be responsible if any loss occurs through these instruments falling into improper hands either
through forgery or fraud.
Allotment advice / Share Certificates/ Demat Credit
Allotment advice/ share certificates/ demat credit or letters of regret will be dispatched to the registered
address of the first named Investor or respective beneficiary accounts will be credited within 15 days,
from the Issue Closing Date. In case the Company issues allotment advice, the relative shared
certificates will be dispatched within one month from the date of the allotment. Allottees are requested
to preserve such allotment advice (if any) to be exchanged later for share certificates.
Option to receive Equity Shares in Dematerialized Form
Investors to the Equity Shares of our Company issued through this Issue shall be allotted the securities
in dematerialized (electronic) form at the option of the Investor. Our Company signed a tripartite
agreement with NSDL on April 30, 2010 and CDSL on April 20, 2010 which enables the Investors to
hold and trade in securities in a dematerialized form, instead of holding the securities in the form of
physical certificates.
In this Issue, the allottees who have opted for Equity Shares in dematerialized form will receive their
Equity Shares in the form of an electronic credit to their beneficiary account as given in the CAF, after
verification with a depository concerned.
Investor will have to give the relevant particulars for this purpose in the appropriate place in the CAF.
Allotment advice, refund order (if any) would be sent directly to the Investor by the Registrar to the
Issue but the Investor’s depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such
Equity Shares to the Investor’s depository account. CAFs, which do not accurately contain this
information, will be given the Equity Shares in physical form. No separate CAFs for Equity Shares in
physical and/or dematerialized form should be made. If such CAFs are made, the CAFs for physical
Equity Shares will be treated as multiple CAFs and is liable to be rejected. In case of partial allotment,
allotment will be done in demat option for the Equity Shares sought in demat and balance, if any, will
be allotted in physical Equity Shares.
INVESTORS MAY PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EQUITY SHARES OF THE COMPANY CAN
BE TRADED ON THE STOCK EXCHANGES ONLY IN DEMATERIALIZED FORM.
209
Procedure for availing the facility for allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue in the electronic form is
as under:
Open a beneficiary account with any depository participant (care should be taken that the beneficiary account should carry the name of the holder in the same manner as is exhibited in the records of the
Company. In the case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of
the holders in the same order as with the Company). In case of Investors having various folios in the
Company with different joint holders, the Investors will have to open separate accounts for such
holdings. Those Equity Shareholders who have already opened such beneficiary account(s) need not
adhere to this step.
For Equity Shareholders already holding Equity Shares of the Company in dematerialized form as on
the Record Date, the beneficial account number shall be printed on the CAF. For those who open
accounts later or those who change their accounts and wish to receive their Equity Shares pursuant to
this Issue by way of credit to such account, the necessary details of their beneficiary account should be
filled in the space provided in the CAF. It may be noted that the allotment of Equity Shares arising out
of this Issue may be made in dematerialized form even if the original Equity Shares of the Company are
not dematerialized.
Nonetheless, it should be ensured that the depository account is in the name(s) of the Equity
Shareholders and the names are in the same order as in the records of the Company.
Responsibility for correctness of information (including Investor’s age and other details) filled in the
CAF vis-à‐vis such information with the Investor’s depository participant, would rest with the Investor.
Investors should ensure that the names of the Investors and the order in which they appear in CAF
should be the same as registered with the Investor’s depository participant.
If incomplete / incorrect beneficiary account details are given in the CAF, the Investor will get Equity
Shares in physical form.
The Equity Shares allotted to applicants opting for issue in dematerialized form, would be directly
credited to the beneficiary account as given in the CAF after verification. Allotment advice, refund
order (if any) would be sent directly to the applicant by the Registrar to the Issue but the applicant’s
depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Equity Shares to the
applicant’s depository account. Renouncees will also have to provide the necessary details about their
beneficiary account for allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue. In case these details are incomplete or
incorrect, the application is liable to be rejected.
Interest in case of delay on allotment / dispatch
The Company will issue and dispatch allotment advice / share certificates / demat credit and/ or letters
of rejection along with refund order or credit the allotted securities to the respective beneficiary
accounts, if any, within a period of 15 days from the Issue Closing Date. If such money is not repaid
within eight 8 from the day the Company becomes liable to pay it, the Company shall pay that money with interest as stipulated under Section 73 of the Companies Act.
Disposal of application and application money
No receipt will be issued for the application moneys received. However, the Bankers to the Issue /
Registrar to the Issue receiving the CAF / application on plain paper will acknowledge its receipt. In the
event of shares not being allotted in full, the excess amount paid on application will be refunded to the
applicant within 15 days of the Issue Closing date.
