Progress Update
The Market Environment
FIIs sold heavily in the month of December by US$ 582 Mn, prompted by the increase in Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by
Reserve Bank of India, which caused major banks to increase Prime Lending Rates (PLR). The RBI in its announcement made
it very clear that it would like to moderate the high credit growth rate and thus inflation through these measures.

Activity during the Month
The Company continued to add to its core portfolio and trimmed the positions in non-core stocks during the month. We
have increased our stakes in Mahindra Ugine, S Kumars, Gruh Finance, Grabal Alok, Dabur Pharma and SpiceJet. We added
one listed company - IOL Broadband Limited - and one unlisted company - Marwadi Shares and Finance Limited - to our
core portfolio.
IOL Broadband is a listed Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) company, providing last-mile triple play access (which
includes voice, data and wireless) to homes and enterprises across India.
Marwadi Share and Finance Limited is a retail brokerage house with a prominent presence in Gujarat and well positioned
to increase its presence all over India. It provides a wide range of services to its retail clients. Its brokerage
services cover the cash and derivative segments on the leading Indian stock exchanges and commodities markets in India.
As we have deployed funds into small cap companies, we have trimmed our large cap portfolio, in particular taking
advantage of high prices in the banking sector prior to the RBI's increase in the CRR.
