increasing the depth and breadth of the services weprovide to them. This kind of an internal client expansionhas its benefits in terms of an enhanced understanding ofthe businesses of our clients which helps us serve thembetter in our existing verticals and expand our horizon innew verticals based on our enhanced knowledge andunderstanding of the growing business of our clients. Thisstrategy helps us to strengthen our existing ties with theclients and to broaden our client base with the expertiseattained in these domains where we enjoy corecompetence.

Working with a limited number of anchor clients on a long-term basis allows us to focus on quality and achievingsavings and at the same time meeting and exceedingclient expectations. The goodwill we enjoy with our existingclients enables us to get client referrals which provide usthe opportunity to win new clients. Allsec is planning toexpand its delivery arms by setting up additional contactcenters, as and when the need arises both in and outsideIndia and increase services to active clients across 3 timezones - US, UK and Australia.

The non voice services offered today by the company inthe areas of Quality assurance and HR processing offerssignificant opportunities and the company plans to takeadvantage of this by offering these services to clients inall geographies.

Quality certifications

During the year, Allsec reached another significant milestonein getting the certificate for ISO 27001, an upgrade from BS7799 standard for information security certification securedlast year. It is a significant step forward in our quality initiativesand Allsec is one of the very few elite companies to achievethis certification in the ITES industry.

Considering the need of the industry to enhance customersatisfaction and better customer experience, Allsec iscontinuously re-engineering its processes across allfunctions, developed and implemented certain initiativesto improve delivery systems and strives to provide a world-class customer support environment in line with globalstandards.

The Business Process Improvement we constantlyattempt, our track record on the quality assurance serviceswe deliver and the quality standards and globalcertifications that we have implemented would definitelybe an attractive value proposition to global corporationsto consider us as business partners and outsource largerresponsibilities and jobs higher up the value chain to us.

Capacity utilization

Allsec will be one of the early entrants to set up a callcentre facility in Trichy and plans are also in progress forsetting up a delivery centre in Philippines. The 200 seatfacility at Trichy is expected to become operational by thesecond quarter of fiscal 2008. Over the years Allsec has

Management Discussion & Analysis

concentrated on capacity expansion by setting up the1000-seat facility in Chennai which became fullyoperational in fiscal 2006 in addition to the original 700seats. Further, after the acquisition of B2K an additional600 seats became available at Bangalore. The additionalbusiness available with our existing clients would beserviced from Chennai and Bangalore and in fiscal 2008we expect to reach optimum capacity utilization. Theopportunities available in the financial services sector areabundant and with the expertise and experience thatAllsec has, we should be acquiring new clients therebyutilizing the capacity generated by the new facility. A majorHR drive to profile, screen and recruit manpower iscurrently under progress to cater to the increasingbusiness needs. We believe this will greatly add to theemployee base in Chennai, Bangalore and Trichy.

Inorganic growth fuelled by acquisition

With the participation in the ownership by the internationalventure capital fund, First Carlyle Ventures Mauritius(FCVM) during fiscal 2007, the global visibility of Allsechas further improved. Along with organic growth, Allsechas been growing in strength to evaluate financially viabletargets in furthering the vertical specialization currentlyenjoyed by the Company. By concentrating on acquisitionsacross different time zones, and migrating such processesto India, we can optimize the capacity utilization in Indiain addition to expanding businesses across those newgeographies. The acquisitions would definitely provide afillip to the ever increasing global presence enjoyedby Allsec.

THREATS

ATTRITION

The business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in thecountry which is experiencing high growth rates is alsofacing the challenge of finding quality human resourcesgiven the current attrition rate.

The attrition rates vary between 40% and 60% in theindustry (Nasscom - Mckinsey Report) while theoutsourcing industry is expected to face a shortage of halfmillion professionals by 2012. Thus, high attrition ratescoupled with dearth of quality man power continues tohinder the high growth trajectory and acts as a major hurdlein making India the most preferred destination for alloutsourcing solutions.

Allsec has an attrition rate of approximately 50% and islooking beyond the traditional areas of recruitment to meetthe attrition challenge and the increased demand formanpower. In order to ensure a consistent flow of trainedmanpower, Allsec is working with the government tointroduce courses at school and college level, which arein line with the requirements of the ITES-BPO industry.The challenge for the industry is not in availability butemployability of graduates who come out of the existing

ALLSEC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

educational stream. To address this, Allsec has beentraining candidates in the basic skill sets that are requiredto make them employable. A broad based system is inplace to identify, train and deploy employable candidates.Further, efforts are also taken in the direction of training,employee referral scheme, employee satisfaction surveysand other recreational activities to tackle the threat posedby attrition.

RISKS AND CONCERNS

BUSINESS RISKS

The market for BPO services is highly competitive, andwe expect competition to intensify and increase from anumber of sources. We believe that the principalcompetitive factors in our markets are price, service quality,sales and marketing skills, the ability to developcustomized solutions and technological and industryexpertise. We face significant competition from severalentities located in India and overseas, including captiveoutsourcing units. Several other countries includingPhilippines and China offer cost effective outsourcingsolutions, and we may not be able to compete with themfor several reasons. In addition, security concernsregarding data being sourced out for processing has beenraising concerns on a global level apart from ethical andmoral issues involved in outsourcing. This threat, is inaddition to the opposition staged by the local populationthat outsourcing causes unemployment in thehome countries.

FINANCIAL RISKS

GEOGRAPHICAL CONCENTRATION OF CLIENTS

Our revenues are highly dependent on clients located inthe United States or from Indian subsidiaries of UScompanies. Consequently, if there is an economicslowdown in the United States, our clients may reduce orpostpone their outsourcing significantly, which may in turnlower the demand for our services and negatively affectour revenues and profitability.

EXCHANGE FLUCTUATION

Managing an equilibrium state in the light of theunfavourable movements in exchange rates involved inearnings and expenditure in foreign currency continuesto be one of the challenges when exposed to globalmarkets. We are currently adopting hedging strategies ona selective basis and in addition use bank balances inforeign currency to meet our foreign currency liabilities.These measures would assist in reducing the impact ofunfavourable movements in exchange rates. However,our results of operation will be affected if the rupeecontinues to appreciate in future.

COST ARBITRAGE

Our most significant costs are the salaries and relatedbenefits of our operations staff and other employees. Wage

costs in India have historically been significantly lowerthan wage costs in the United States and other developedcountries, which has been one of our competitiveadvantages. However, wages in India are increasing at afaster rate compared to the developed countries, whichmay reduce our competitive advantage in relation topricing. We may need to increase the levels of employeecompensation more rapidly than in the past to remaincompetitive and to attract necessary employees. Wageincreases in the long-term may reduce our profit margins.

INDIAN TAXATION RISK

Taxes and other levies imposed by the Government ofIndia and/or the State of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka thatmay affect the BPO industry include: (i) customs duties; (ii)Service tax; (iii) income tax; (iv) value added tax, etc.

In the current Union Budget, there were certain measuressuch as levy of service tax on property rentals, introductionof levy of fringe benefit tax on ESOP, inclusion of profitseligible for deduction under section 10A of IT Act, 1961for computing Minimum Alternate Tax which have adampening effect on the Industry.

LEGAL AND CONTRACTUAL RISKS

Our business is subject to a variety of federal regulations.Particularly, we must comply with a number of laws in theUnited States in relation to debt collection and telephoneand email based solicitation.

The requirements of many of these regulations arecomplex and the failure to comply could result inenforcement or private actions which can potentially affectour reputation and in turn adversely affect our business.In addition, these laws are subject to change and newlaws affecting our business may be enacted, which couldsignificantly affect the demand for, and our ability toprovide, certain service offerings and significantly increasethe cost of regulatory compliance.

INFRASTRUCTURE RISKS

The Company has invested substantially in the state ofthe art infrastructure and equipment in its centers toprovide a world-class service to its customers, service toour clients also depend on the uninterrupted functioning ofthese equipment, power and stability of telecom network.Any obsolescence in the infrastructure and equipmentleading to in-compatibility with client's systems or anydisruption in the essential services may affect the businessof the company.

HUMAN RESOURCES RISK

There have been recent cases of mid-sized companieslosing BPO orders for not being able to demonstrate acompetent team that can manage a large workforce. Highlevel of attrition further complicates the problem. At least50% of the workforce change jobs every year. There is agap between the supply and demand of work force.

Further, the available man power is not employable interms of the skill sets required for the industry. Thus theshortage of supply in quality manpower both at themanagerial level and at the agent's level may significantlyaffect the functioning of the Company.

22.1 Background

Allsec Technologies Limited (‘Allsec’ or the ‘Company’) was incorporated on August 24, 1998 as a limited companyunder the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is engaged in the business of providing IT enabled services. Theservices provided by the Company include data verification, processing of orders received through telephone calls,telemarketing, monitoring quality of calls of other call centers, customer services and HR and payroll processing.

The Company completed an Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’) of 3,141,200 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a price ofRs. 135/- per share in May 2005 and the equity shares of the Company are listed on the National Stock Exchangeof India (‘NSE’) and The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (‘BSE’).

The Company has three subsidiaries as at the year end. These are:

• Allsectech Inc., USA (‘Allsectech’) – A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated on September14, 2000 in the State of Delaware, USA. This subsidiary is engaged primarily in the business of providingmarketing support services to the Company.

• B2K Corp Private Limited (‘B2K’) – An Indian Company located in Bangalore engaged in the business ofinbound and outbound voice, email and chat support services and information technology services. TheCompany acquired a controlling interest in this company (100% of equity capital and 70.62% of preferencecapital) on January 25, 2006.

• B2K Corp Inc., USA (‘B2K Inc’) – A wholly owned subsidiary of B2K in which controlling interest has beenacquired pursuant to acquisition of controlling interest in B2K.

Allsectech, B2K and B2K Inc, shall hereinafter, be collectively referred to as ‘the Subsidiaries’. Allsec, along withthe Subsidiaries, shall hereinafter, be collectively referred to as ‘the Group’.

Preferential issue:

At the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on August 21, 2006, the shareholders of the Company had approvedthe preferential issue of 3,021,685 equity shares of the Company to First Carlyle Ventures, Mauritius (‘FCVM’) at aprice of Rs. 260/- per equity share (including a premium of Rs. 250/- per share) and the preferential issue of803,640 warrants to the promoters of the Company and 160,728 warrants to FCVM, each warrant convertible intoone equity share of the Company at a conversion / exercise price of Rs. 260/- per resultant equity share. Suchshares and warrants have been issued to the promoters and FCVM during the year under the terms and conditionsas set out in the Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement (‘SSA’) dated August 23, 2006 by and between theCompany, its promoters and FCVM. The net proceeds from the issue, after adjusting for share issue expenses ofapproximately Rs. 19,427, has been deployed in mutual funds and term deposits.

22.2 Completion of B2K Acquisition and proposed amalgamation

On January 25, 2006 the Company acquired controlling interest in B2K Corp Private Limited (‘B2K’) pursuant to aShare Purchase Agreement (‘SPA’) dated December 8, 2005.

Under the terms of the SPA, the Company acquired the entire outstanding equity capital of B2K for a considerationof Rs.405 and the entire outstanding 10% optionally convertible cumulative redeemable preference share capitalof B2K for a consideration as per the terms of the SPA. On January 25, 2006, the Company paid an aggregateconsideration of Rs. 405 towards the entire equity capital and an amount of Rs. 93,113 towards 70.62% of theaforesaid preference capital. During the year, the Company has paid an amount of Rs. 31,708 on June 6, 2006towards the balance 29.38% of the aforesaid preference capital and completed the acquisition.

The excess of the purchase consideration paid over the net assets of B2K as at the date of acquisition had beenrecognized as ‘goodwill’ in the consolidated financial statements. The difference between the cost of acquisition ofthe balance 29.38% of the preference capital of B2K and the book value of the same of Rs. 17,379 has beenadjusted against goodwill in the current year.

Subsequent to the date of the balance sheet, B2K filed a petition with the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature atMadras under sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 on April 20, 2007 for the sanction of the proposed
