Progress Update
The Market Environment
October witnessed another strong month for FII inflows at US$ 1,781Mn (compared
to US$ 1,205 Mn in September). Quarterly results from June 2006 to September
2006, announced this month were a mixed bag. While the Information technology
sector continued strong growth, the auto sector showed signs of input cost
pressure. On the back of robust results from other sectors, BSE Sensex touched
a peak of 13,039, a 4.07% increase during the month. This rise was largely
contributed by the Information Technology, Banks and Oil and Gas sectors.
Market Changes BSE Sensex (% Change) BSE Small Cap Index (% Change)
31 Dec '05 to 31 October 37.92% 7.56%
29 September to 31 October 4.07% 3.75%
During September, the Rupee moved to 85.56 against Sterling, appreciating by
0.62%, its second consecutive month of appreciation against Sterling this year.
Since 1 Jan 2006 however the Rupee has depreciated by 9.85% against Sterling.
Activity during the Month
The Company continued to build stakes in its core portfolio. The Company
subscribed to the preferential allotment of Asian Electronics and the rights
issue of Gruh Finance. The Company has also subscribed to the preferential
allotment in Varun Shipping due to take place in November. This transaction is
not reflected in this month's NAV.
We have also made a commitment to an investment in CitiXsys Technologies, an
unlisted company in the IT space, also for completion in November. CitiXsys
Technologies is a software product company, partnering SAP AG in installing and
testing 'Business One', SAP's ERP product for small and medium enterprises, and
installing add-in modules for customers.
The Company also sold out two small cap companies and plans to exit from one
more mid-cap company on account of recent appreciation in stock price.
