DIRECTORS’ REPORT

TO
The Members
CRP Technologies (India) Limited
Mumbai

Your Directors take great pleasure in presenting the 15th Annual Report on the business and operations of your Company and the Audited Financial Results for the year ended 31st March 2014.

1. FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONS:

The Company’s Financial Performance reflects good growth. The Financial results of the Company for the year under review are as under.

The review of our Financial year 2014 operations gives me a satisfying feeling of both achievement and hope for the future. Sales are up, and profits are correspondingly higher this year. Both the domains – HR and Insurance – are performing very well. Apart from the core product lines of BGC and Operations Risk; CRP managed to make rapid inroads with its proposed offerings of portfolio contactability and persistency for our Insurance clients during the year.

The HR domain related activities, primarily BGC have continued to be successful. The rising awareness levels about the risk of bad hires, and an incessant outbreak of frauds and scams in the environment bought the human resource risk starkly into focus. This has resulted in increased revenues for the business over the last year. The successful pilots we have conducted for some large global banks in the extended verticals of due diligence opens up an avenue for us of an enhanced product offering to our clients in the HR vertical. It is pertinent to note here that the dollar earnings of these projects would not only increase the lateral scale of operations but would also help diversify our exposure beyond the India market. .

Another strong product line that is finally achieving critical mass and presenting unlimited opportunities is CRP SECURE, our employee data repository which currently hosts over 750,00 unique employee and over 30 Million education records. CRP SECURE today has over 25 of India’s largest corporate entities as its contributory members. The rapid growth of our database, which is changing the rules of the industry, has won accolades from industry bodies. Through its dynamic applications, it will continue to open open newer vistas of opportunities .

Also, this year, your Company has purchased a 100% stake in Axis Resources Pvt. Ltd, hence making the latter a Wholly ownde subsidiary of CRP.

Future Outlook

CRP has always adopted a growth strategy based on its core competencies of developing innovative solutions and using its strategic client relationships to convert concepts into viable product lines. The vision of excellence in operational delivery has helped us deliver extra-ordinary results within the constrained resource endowments of time, money, and people, out-performing some of the larger, most organized entities in the competitive market space. The vision of CRP, to be amongst the top 3 players in any business line that we choose to operate in, has paid off, and would continue to pay off in the long run.

There is an excellent scope of expansion in risk management services market space. However, the growth would come not in terms of employing large number of highly skilled people. It would rather come by increasing our capacities through intelligent deployment of technology and achieving process efficiencies through wider distribution of geographical network along with a tighter allocation and monitoring process. CRP's experience in the last few years proves this fact and we have succeeded beyond merely achieving our financial targets, and has also resulted in the creation of Intellectual Properties which will add a great deal to the enterprise value in times to come.

CRP plans to continue its quest for excellence across all our product lines in the years to come. With its commitment to continuous innovation of its processes, people, and solutions, CRP is gearing up for a stable and sustainable growth over the next 3 to 5 year horizon
