SECTION A To capture an eventful, exciting year in its entirety might be difficult in limited space on print. However, we feel progress is best measured against our Enterprise Framework - The 6 Capital Framework. We shall now examine in some detail how we have performed in each of the six capitals, and how we will ensure that Intellect remains on the growth trajectory going forward. i. IP CAPITAL The completeness and richness of the Intellect product suite enables a robust business model across cross-sell and up-sell in our strategic client landscape. While our competitors usually are limited to a sliver of a single product, or address one vertical, the Intellect suite spans Consumer Banking, Transaction (Corporate) Banking, Risk and Treasury Management, and Insurance. Superior architecture translates into smooth integration with the customer's IT ecosystem. Intellect is built on iDigital, providing a complete Digital 360 architecture to customers. The intellectual property of the Company encompasses patented technologies, frameworks and tools and L0 framework which provide a common taxonomy to business, technology providers and operations. Agile methodologies help implement our products ahead of schedule. The COPARIS framework enables design and diagnostics of robust digital architectures. The company invests around USD$ 20 million a year on research and development. The Internet and digital technologies are transforming our world - in every walk of life and in every line of business. And Intellect has risen to the challenge with specially designed products across consumer banking, transaction banking, risk, treasury and markets, and insurance. We have designed and invested in two world class Research & Development (R&D) centres located in Chennai & Mumbai. The R&D centre in Chennai has already been approved by Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR) as an in-house R&D centre. The approval for the Mumbai centre is under process. Intellect provides full spectrum, fully integrated products that run in over 200 financial institutions, across the globe, across Global Consumer Banking (iGCB), Central Banking, Global Transaction Banking (iGTB), Risk, Treasury & Markets (iRTM) and Insurance (intellect SEEC).

Banks of all sizes are making sizeable investments in digital initiatives in order to maintain a competitive edge. We have launched Digital Face, an offering that provides omni-channel interfaces for a selection of our products in both Corporate and Consumer Banking. This has enabled us to revive various dormant accounts in the IMEA and APAC regions. Coupled with our Canvas and Hub technology, Digital Face empowers customers to modify and rejig their portal screens. Further, our newer businesses of UnMail, Intellect Payments and Intellect Commerce are getting into their own. At the brsent, marketing inputs are provided by the Corporate so that the respective teams are kept nimble and agile. We are seeing quite some traction for these businesses in the IMEA and APAC regions. Among the larger LOB's, we have initiated a transformation in Risk and Treasury Management, with the Go-To-Market of three separate offerings - OneLRM, OneMarkets and OneTreasury. This will enable the respective business managers to fully concentrate on their offerings and thus ensure better visibility in the target markets. On the other hand, we have noticed quite some overlap between similar offerings across LOB's, which can be coalesced for better throughput. We have also noticed a tendency to hurriedly customize certain aspects of the products, based on Change Requests received from customers, which does not lead to enrichment of the product per se, as it is at a tangent to the product road map. We have, therefore, constituted measures to maintain a watch on miscellaneous coding and development carried out by various teams. ii. CUSTOMER CAPITAL Customer Centricity is a primary motivator for Intellect. It is in fact the catalyst for Design Thinking, our greatest differentiator. Our products are uniquely customer-centric, as are our impeccable delivery and implementation frameworks. We work with customers at various stages of their technology adoption lifecycle. Over 25 of the top banks of the world, with asset sizes of over US$ 100 billion each, rely on Intellect. With over 200 customers and global validation of our prowess, we provide rich referenceability. We strengthen Customer Capital with "ahead of the curve" products, and our aggressive skin-in-the-game engagement model. Customer Centricity leads to consistent, measurable benefits for the client, culminating in a long-term relationship with clients. Even in an age of shifting loyalties, Intellect has always been in it for the long haul. A recent, powerful case is our association with the Reserve Bank of India. A financial inclusion drive initiated by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also significantly increased the number of government payments being processed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), increasing brssure on the central bank to augment its system. Intellect Design Arena has been well placed to help deal with these challenges, delivering upgrades to the RBI's payments system to allow individual state governments to go 'fully digital' with their social payment plans. RBI scales up "The payment platform enables the RBI as a service provider to the governments (both central and state) to handle a huge number of retail payments such as salary, pension, vendor payments, various schemes, scholarships," said Jaideep Billa, chief executive of Intellect global consumer banking. Originally, the project was meant to handle just two to three states. However, due to the success of the system, the RBI decided to roll out the initiative nationally. Time is of the essence The RBI praised Intellect for its enthusiasm to deal with the tight deadlines. "Sometimes we only have a few days to integrate state governments. Intellect helps scalability happen in an instant," says Kalyan Chakravarthy, assistant general manager of the core banking system at the RBI. The work with the RBI has created a relationship built on trust in addition to Intellect being recognised for producing good quality systems. "There is no lag time. The system operates with real-time payments. Before, it used to take half a day to process this type of payment. Now it is instantaneous." One of the primary yardsticks for customer-centricity is an enterprise's sensitivity to the needs of the customer and the quick response times to meet that need. Intellect's response to the Digital Transformation requirements of customers all over the world has not only vindicated our unique 360 degree approach to Digital, but also validated our customer-centric approach. Here are some Digital-specific pursuits. - 1. Hong Leong Bank, Berhad, a leading financial services organization in Malaysia, chose Intellect as its partner to transform and digitalize its wholesale banking offerings with the Intellect Global Transaction banking (iGTB) suite. This consists of a digital omni-channel delivery platform and rich applications across Digital Cash Management, Liquidity Management, Domestic and Foreign Payments, Trade Finance and Supply Chain Finance which will enable the bank to facilitate mass adoption of real-time digital payments amongst its Corporate clients. 2. A London based technology firm specializing in risk management and mitigation for OTC derivatives markets, chooses Intellect One LRM to provide an end-to-end bilateral market infrastructure for the margining of non-cleared OTC derivatives. 3. A leading Commercial Bank in East Africa has chosen Digital Face as the bank's front end and Corporate Banking Exchange, a futuristic app-based front-end omni-channel Retail Banking platform to enable Account Services, Payments, Collections and Trade Finance services for their customers. 4. One of the largest Bank and Insurance Company in North America selected Intellect SEEC as the Digital Transformation Partner. Intellect SEEC will be implementing the Digital Distribution Suite. 5. Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), one of the largest Government Financial Institutions, chose the Intellect Digital Core (Core Banking Solution), Loans Origination & Loans Management System and end-to-end Trade Finance to transform its core banking operations. iii. Execution Capital Our demonstrated capability in building and delivering solutions On Time and In Full (OTIF), driven by a researched and proven Delivery Excellence Framework has enabled our associates to stick to schedules and budgets. We are also contemplating the issue of Performance and Implementation Guarantees in our engagement model that mandates that we deliver "First Time Right" and bang on schedule. We have proven transformational capabilities that take away the risk of the "Rip and Replace" approach, and ensure the progressive or smart modernization of the customer's existing platform. We utilize our unique Design Centre to foster rapid, collaborative and agile product development and deployment that crashes release and deployment cycles with transparent and visible metrics. Our robust governance framework encompasses the entire product life cycle -Manufacturing and delivery phases - covering Version Management, Release Control, Change Management, Migration, Deployment and Post Go Live Support. Our Extreme Execution Capital is delivered with the indefatigable Intellect Promise - BOTIS. Delivery and implementation of the projects in the pipeline are going on apace. We have strengthened the delivery Units through the infusion of both senior and middle leadership, so that bandwidth issues are now a thing of the past. The immersion programme to achieve D-3 OTIF has been kick started by the Chairman and will be followed by a complete series of interactions for all Manufacturing and Service Delivery associates, so that 100% of implementations are carried out D-3 OTIF. 1. IDFC Bank, a subsidiary of IDFC Ltd., India's leading integrated infrastructure finance company, has successfully implemented the iGTB solution suite including payments, cash management, corporate banking exchange (CBX) and liquidity sweeps. This combrhensive digital solution will help enable IDFC Bank's growth, even as it introduces a differentiated form of banking. 2. A multinational banking and financial services holding company headquartered in New York went live with the iGTB Liquidity solution. 3. A large European Bank implemented Intellect Liquidity with a unique liquidity pooling overview on OCM, enabling end customers to view online real-time balance of the notional pool and that of relevant accounts participating in the pool for active decision making and regularization. 4. NABARD's implementation of Intellect's Centralized Loan Management and Accounting product went live across all its offices encompassing all lending and accounting operations to align its current and future requirements. One of the largest micro finance organisations in India which received a banking license from the Reserve Bank of India in 2014, has successfully digitalized its domestic treasury operations in a record time of 3 months. Commercial International Bank (CIB) the largest private-sector bank in Egypt, has gone live with Intellect Custody Solution. With the unique web-based interface implementation, CIB will be able to maximize the throughput rate while minimizing infrastructure and communication cost. Deployment was completed within a time frame of six months, automating the complete process of Custodial Services at the bank. 7. Intellect SEEC successfully delivered the first proof of concept for a digital transformation program for a major UK Insurance and Wealth company 8. One of the largest lender banks in UAE implemented Intellect's Digital Core for its India Operations, a perfect Zero defect implementation. iv. Human Capital The employer brand of Intellect has had no problems in attracting the best of talent. New geographies, destiny products and unique value propositions have found champions not just among long-standing associates of our company. They have captured the imagination and ambitions of domain experts, often from the competition. This fact was illustrated in rich detail in the inaugural section of the Annual Report. These newer associates, who have joined us subsequent to the demerger and listing, have integrated into the Intellect fabric, driving tangible results for our company. Our leadership team is stronger than ever, with industry powerhouses leading our lines of business. Given the complexity in financial products, deep domain knowledge is critical to our business, across the dimensions of Business, operations and technology. Experienced bankers and insurance professionals, technology and process experts are part of the Intellect team that develops and deploys products. We have recently recruited over 50 young professionals under the FUturE Leader programme or FUEL. These professionals, who have all passed out from brmier B-Schools, have been put through a detailed four week immersion programme to get them up to speed with what the Organization does. They have now been deployed in various Business Units by being seconded to the Unit Head, or the Delivery Head. This will enable them not only to get a perspective of the Unit's workings and challenges, but also enable them to get down and "dirty their hands" as part of the current Manufacturing or Service Delivery teams. We expect that over the next couple of years, these professionals, along with a few "home grown" leaders will be able to provide a stable and capable second level of leadership. They will also provide the platform for incubation of newer Units that might be formed once a family of products matures and provides more space to grow. To transmit the messages of Design Thinking, Complexity Reduction and Design 360, we have launched the "Your Mind, Our Business" series of interactions, with a session by our Chairman for all Project Managers and above. We intend to carry this out on a regular basis so as to bring every associate on the same page on these basic concepts. Along the same lines, we have also launched the National School of Design Thinking, based out of out FT8012v Design Centre in Chennai, and helmed by Prof. Ashok Korwar and Dr. Anbu Rathinavel. The unique Konark programme identifies and nurtures high potential, and the individuals tasked with shaping and perpetuating the culture of the Company. Our strong learning orientation ensures our continued focus on expertise building. The Intellect core leadership team has travelled the enterprise journey since its inception, and has recently been enhanced to include senior leaders from financial institutions, and global competitors to provide an optimal mix of entrebrneurship, innovation and global best practices. v. Finance Capital As Intellect has been successfully incubated over the past couple of years prior to the de-merger, much of its IP investment has been expensed. Intellect operates from its own brmises and facilities for product development and deployment, and has significant asset size that it can leverage. Some of the customer assets that Intellect has acquired have a potential lifecycle value over 7 - 10 years, which will ensure consistent revenue streams to the Company. The operating model is inherently attractive that will ensure that Intellect remains stable, liquid and profitable enough to invest in the future. The business model is robust with the combination of a full spectrum product suite, balanced geographic distribution, strategic accounts and next generation technologies. Given the inherently "lumpy" nature of the products business, we do foresee several challenges in the cash flow situation. However, as the business expands and as the number of installations increase, we expect this situation to subside on its own. As these are still early days insofar as Intellect as a product player is concerned, our expenses on Sales and Marketing would need to increase exponentially in order to improve visibility of the brand in the target markets. This will further aggravate the cash flow situation, but that does constitute a necessary investment. vi. Brand Capital Our brand capital is best described by what various stakeholder segments, such as customers and analysts say about us. Competing with the best in the business, the significant strides we have taken in business and technology have been widely recognized and acknowledged by industry experts, brmier institutions and leading analysts from the world over. - 1. Intellect ranked #1 in 3 categories at IDC Financial Insights FinTech Real Results Awards - 2015 for 'future-enabling' digital transformation 2. Intellect wins 'Payment Provider of the Year' Award at Central Banking Awards 2016.

Intellect has secured top slot in terms of awareness of vendors by Capital Markets firms. 4. Intellect Cards named "Regional Champions" and "Specialist" in Origination & Collect among Global Card Management and Transaction Processing Vendors by Celent, a research and consulting firm focused on the application of information technology in the global financial services industry. 5.

Ovum a leading independent research firm featured Intellect's Digital Core in their report titled Ovum's Decision Matrix report for Core Banking Systems in the European Market On the other hand, we do see an opportunity to provide our branding a more expanded platform, in the near future, so that we are able to receive our rightful share of the Americas market.

SE CTION D Strengths Post Demerger the company Intellect is now stabilized and on its path of growth. The rich industry experience of over 29 years in the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance segment is helping it achieve higher heights. Some of the strengths are given below: a) Intellect is among the very few companies, which has a full spectrum of technology products for banking, financial services & insurance. Most others in this space are niche players with a narrow product range. This width allows us to bring design thinking as we can span across different functionalities. This also allows us to manage the cyclicity of the sub segments in BFSI much better since we are not dependent on any single sub-segment. These are big differentiators for us. b) A deep understanding of the BFSI vertical that has huge complexity embedded in technology. Thus, we can connect the dots between Business (Products), Operations (Process) and technology. c) Robust cash reserves to fuel growth ambitions d) Digital Transformation is the next big wave in banking technology. Our products are designed to enable this Digital transformation in a progressive manner because the architectural design of the Intellect suite of products has digital transformation capabilities built in it. e) Intellect uses the India Engineering Centers in a big way. This ensures availability of the best technologists in a steady manner besides affording us a competitive advantage in costs. f) Continuous investment in R&D to keep our product offerings updated, relevant and competitive in the market place g) A dedicated Design Center, FT 8012, the world's first design center focused on Financial Technology, reflecting the company's commitment to continuous and impactful innovation. h) Intellect has been cited in over 50 Analyst reports every year, reflecting rich functionality and global market acceptance of the product suite i) Proven track record of implementing global roll outs of Products in both developed markets and growth markets. Several of these are Marquee customer accounts that serve as a role model for other banks to emulate and bring in the global best practices. j) Significant investment in Sales and Marketing to take on the competition and create the right push for our products Competition As mentioned above, Intellect suite is a full spectrum banking technology product for banking, financial services & insurance.
