BUSINESS LOANSWe encourage entrepreneurship amongst women as sustainable source of
livelihood by providing loans for working capital. Loans give economically active
women an access to finance in order to support their micro enterprises. These
small enterprises are; kiryana stores, small vendors, repair shops, clay pot
manufacturing, boutiques, embroidery centres, beauty parlours, micro
ancillary units, livestock, small shops, small teaching centres, toy making, small
eateries, dairy farming, fruit & vegetable selling basket making etc. We offer a,
range of products and services, which have been, developed on the basis of
financial needs of poor working women. In some cases these women are
managing family run home based micro enterprises. Midland Microfin has
created different cycles of Business Loans i.e. B , B 2, B 3, B 4, B 5 and(BL) L L- L- L- L-
Pragati Loan. The ticket size increases as the cycle advances. These loans are
offered to the members to support the enhanced business needs of our
borrowers. The ticket size in initial loan cycle from Rs. 10000 to Rs. 20000ranges
& in graduated cycles it goes upto Rs. 50000.
OURPRODUCTS
WATER PURIFIER LOANIt was observed that people especially in rural areas spend a hefty
amount out of their earnings on medical expenses, which creates lot
of financial burden. The quality of water in our area of operation
(presently Punjab, Haryana & Rajasthan) is not good as, Chandigarh
it contains hazardous toxic elements. Hence water purifiers have
become a basic necessity of every household.
Large number of borrowers of Midland lack access to clean drinking
water and are unable to afford water purifiers. However these
members have shown immense interest in buying water purifiers as
per the Survey conducted by Midland. This loan provides an
opportunity to purchase water purifier on easy instalments, which
may otherwise be beyond their reach. To provide an easy access in
an affordable way to the existing borrowers, Midland Microfin has
tied up with 'Hindustan Unilever Ltd' which is India's largest FMCG
Company engaged in marketing and distribution of various
consumer goods inter alia, in home water purifiers called 'Pureit'.
SEWING MACHINE LOANUsing Quality Product is a fundamental right of any Consumer. After
conducting an extensive survey, a noticeable fact came to our notice
that there is a lack of awareness amongst the consumers in these strata
and hence unorganised retailers as well as manufacturers are
exploiting them. Upon the enthusiastic feedback of the members &
with a vision to provide products and services of outstanding quality,
Midland Microfin Ltd. has collaborated with Rita Machines India Pvt.
Ltd., which is one of the leading manufacturers of sewing machines, to
facilitate the services with the mission of Serving Members 'Beyond
Microfinance'. Midland Microfin is offering one variant of sewing
machines i.e. 'Tailor Supreme' to the members. Sewing machine Loan is
provided only to those members who are supposed to avail business
loan for stitching business, boutique business & allied activities.

FINANCIAL INCLUSION
Access to finance, especially for the poor, is
empowering, because financial exclusion often
leads to broader social exclusion. At the Reserve
Bank Conference on Financial Inclusion in April
2015, the Govt of India urged the Reserve Bank to
take further steps in encouraging financial
institutions to set concrete targets for financial
inclusion to help transform the quality of life of the
poor. Microfinance has been recognised as an
important channel in achieving financial inclusion.
Against this backdrop, the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) has revised its policies and has raised the short-
term MFI credit limit to Rs 30,000 for short duration
(less than 24 months) from the existing level of Rs
15,000. In order to further widen the scope, it has
been decided that loan disbursed by an NBFC-MFI to
a borrower with a rural household annual income
not exceeding Rs. 60,000 has been increased to Rs.
1,00,000 or urban and semi-urban household
income not exceeding Rs. 1,20,000 has been
increased to Rs. 1,60,000. Earlier, NBFC-MFIs while
disbursing loans were required to ensure that the
total indebtedness of the borrower does not exceed
Rs. 50,000. In partial modification of the above, the
limit of total indebtedness of the borrower has been
increased to Rs.1,00,000. Education and medical
expenses will be excluded while arriving at the total
indebtedness of a borrower.
This move has enabled the customers to meet their
credit requirements in a better way. Moreover, the
total number of loans disbursed by MFIs in India
grew by 42 per cent in Q2 FY15-16 compared with
Q2 FY14-15.
Your Company plays a prominent role in achieving
the Financial Inclusion goal by encouraging
members to open bank accounts, inculcating savings
habit, promoting financial literacy and by adopting
cashless means of disbursement so that accounts do
not remain inoperative. In the financial year 2014-15
your company took an init iat ive to make
disbursement to its clients using Banking Channel
through NEFT. The Company has made cashless
disbursement to approximately 25000 borrowers
during the financial year 2015-16.
DIVIDEND
The company has shown remarkable growth in its
operations during the financial year 2015-16 and
has earned good profits. Your Directors propose a
dividend of 8% on quity hare apital of i.e. Rs. 0.80E S C
per equity share and 9% on Optionally Convertible
Preference Share Capital i.e. Rs. 0.90 per preference
share for the year 2015-16 on prorat basis. Thea
dividend will be paid to those shareholders whose
names appear on the Register of Members as on the
record date. During the last financial year i.e. 2014-
15 your company paid dividend 5% to theof
members of the company.
REGULATORY UPDATE
Your Company being registered as NBFC-MFI (Non-
Banking Financial Company – Micro Finance
Institution) has been following all the relevant
guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve Bank
of India from time to time and other law applicables
to it.

time of crisis to a preferred sector for the
Government and the Stakeholders. Due to
Government bringing in regulations and policies on
Microfinance and furthering financial inclusion, the
microfinance industry has matured with stronger
institutions.
With the launch of Micro Units Development and
Refinance Agency (MUDRA), Regulatory Policies by
RBI, Issuance of Small Finance Bank approvals to 8
MFIs and stronger interventions by Credit Bureaus,
Microfinance sector in India has become robust with
brighter prospects in future.
Developments
In financial year 2015-16 Microfinance sector in
India marked a new beginning. As of March 31, 2016,
MFIs provided microcredit to 3.25 Crore clients, an
increase of 44% over financial year 2014-15. The
aggregate gross loan portfolio (GLP) of MFIs stood at
Rs. 53,233 Crores, representing an year on year
growth of 84% in the financial year 2014-15.
Annual loan amount disbursed in financial year
2015-16 reached Rs 61,860 Crores, representing
increase of 65% compared to financial year 2014-15.
Portfolio at Risk (PAR) figures remained under 1 %
for financial year 2015-16. MFIs now cover 30
states/union territories. Productivity ratios for MFIs

Opportunities and Threats
Opportunities
The Microfinance industry continues to be one of
the sectors in India having a huge potential for
sustainable growth, based on industry reports
according to MFIN Micrometer, as on March 31,
2016.
The MFI industry GIP grew by 84%, while the
disbursements during the year grew by 65%. The
industry grew by 69% in financial year 2015-16 and
47% in financial year2014-15. As on March 2016, the
MFI industry served 3.25 Crore clients.
World Bank and ED a rural System's reports indicate
that 150 Million (15 Crore) households in India
require microcredit with an average credit
requirement per household at Rs. 20,000. This
translates into an annual aggregate demand of
Rs.2,40,000 Crores for microcredit in India (post 20%
downward adjustment for inaccessible households
in rural and urban areas).
Hence there is a huge demand-supply gap and a
large part of this gap is currently being met by
informal sources, including moneylenders.
Considering the above mentioned facts, Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) has revised its policies and has
raised the short-term MFI credit limit to Rs 30,000
for short duration (less than 24 months repayment)
from the existing level of Rs 15,000. In order to
further widen the scope, it has been decided that
loan disbursed by an NBFC-MFI to a borrower with a
rural household annual income not exceeding Rs.
60,000 has been increased to Rs. 1,00,000 or urban
and semi-urban household income not exceeding
Rs. 1,20,000 has been increased to Rs. 1,60,000.
Earlier, NBFC-MFIs while disbursing loans were
required to ensure that the total indebtedness of the
borrower does not exceed Rs.50,000. In partial
modification of the above, the limit of total
indebtedness of the borrower has been increased to
Rs.1,00,000. Education and medical expenses will be
excluded while arriving at the total indebtedness of
a borrower.
Threats
Microfinance sector in India is now being regulated
by Reserve Bank of India. But still it continues to be
exposed to certain inherent business risks. Few of
the threats are:
Credit Risk: Microfinance borrowers belong to low
income group, hence are more prone to default as
the loan is given without any collateral security.
MANAGEMENTDISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Midland Microfin Ltd. | Annual Report 2015-16 23
Lack of awareness: There is a lack of awareness
amongst rural people regarding Microfinance
companies.
Unequal distribution: In India MFI outreach is very
low as compared with its requirements and
potential. Microfinance sector in India is also facing
a problem of unequal geographical growth of
Microfinance institutions. Most of the Microfinance
institutions are located in southern states.
Improper usage of Loan: Loan raised through
microfinance might be used for consumption
purpose and not for productive purpose. This does
not serve the real purpose of Micro-credit.
Lack of access to Funding: Another factor
contributing to the lack of growth in MFIs is that
requisite financial support has not been provided to
MFIs by concerned agencies.
High operational cost: High transaction cost is a big
challenge for microfinance institution. The volume
of transactions is very small, whereas the fixed cost
of those transactions is high.
Outlook
Microfinance is very significant in India to achieve
financial inclusion of the poor in the rural and urban
areas. Lending to the poor population if handled in
an effective manner can be a miracle for the
development of the country and alleviation of
Poverty. MFIs are the institutions offering financial
services to low income financially excluded people.
They have been proactive in the process of
comprehensive growth in India by their novel
approach. They have enthused with the passage of
time. With the provision of financial and social
services and helping the members put into practice
repayment ethics and social unity they can be
solution for rural poverty and backwardness. They
have huge potential not only as a system of peer-to
peer (p2p) lending but also as an opportunity of
social bonding.
As mentioned above, the huge gap in demand and
supply in micro credit in India and that a large part of
this gap is serviced by informal sources, including
moneylenders, represents an attractive business
opportunity for growing MFIs such as Midland
Microfin Limited. The company believes that, with
its operating strength and focus on penetration in
the other states alongwith its enhanced penetration
in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, it will be able to
capture a significant share of the demand for micro
credit in India.
Segment-wise/product wise performance
The Company has really done well in financial year
2015-16, the company overachieved all its set
targets. In the financial year 2015-16 the company
also crossed the benchmark of Rs. 100 Crores loan
portfolio, the current loan portfolio of the company
is Rs. 144 Crores as on March 31, 2016. The company
has designed various products, keeping in view the
requirements of the borrowers and the guidelines
issued by the Reserve Bank of India from time to
time

Risks and concerns

future business requirements. The main aim behind
switching the application is to enhance productivity,
business intelligence and to get complete solution

AUDITORS’REPORT
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and their
operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial
controls over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal financial controls over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the internal financial controls system over
financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company's internal financial
control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of
the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of
management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting

controls over financial reporting, including the possibility

Note No. 2
Summary of significant accounting policies
1. Basis of Preparation-The financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in
a c co rd a n c e w i t h G e n e ra l l y A c c e p te d
Accounting Principles. The Company has
prepared these financial statements to comply
in all material respects with the Accounting
Standards notified under section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the
provisions of the RBI as applicable to a NBFC-
MFI and NBFC-ND. The financial statements
have been prepared on an accrual basis and
under the historical cost convention except
interest on loans which have been classified as
non-performing assets and are accounted for
on realization basis. The accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of financial
statements are consistent with those of
previous year.
2. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with the Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires the
management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities, at the end of the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based on the
management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in the
outcomes requiring a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in
future periods.
3. Revenue Recognition
(I) The Reserve Bank of India's prudential
norms on income recogni t ion and
provisioning for bad and doubtful debts has
been followed.
(ii) Subject to the above, specific income has
been accounted for as under:
a. Interest income on loans given is
recognized under the internal rate of
return method. Income or any other
charges on non-performing asset is
recognized only when realized and any
such income recognized before the
asset became non performing and
remaining unrealized is reversed.
b. Interest income on deposits with banks
is recognized on a time proportion
accrual basis taking into account the
amount outstanding and the rate
applicable.
c. Loan processing fees are recognized as
income on accrual basis.
d. All other income is recognized on an
accrual basis.
NOTES TOACCOUNTS
Midland Microfin Ltd. | Annual Report 2015-16 48
4. Tangible Fixed Assets
All fixed assets are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises
purchase price and directly attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for
the intended use and include borrowing cost
directly attributable to construction or
acquisition of fixed assets, till the date the asset
is put to use. Capital work in progress comprises
outstanding advances paid to acquire fixed
assets that are not ready to use for their
intended use as at the Balance sheet date.
Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets after its
purchase is capitalised only if such expenditure
results in an increase in the future benefits from
such asset beyond its previously assessed
standard of performance
5. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost,
net of accumulated deprec iat ion and
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line
basis over their estimated useful lives.
6. Depreciation
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets and
intangible assets is provided on the Straight Line
method as per the rates prescribed under Part
'C' of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013
which is also as per the useful life of the assets
estimated as prescribed under Part 'C' of
Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
7. Impairment
The Company assesses at each reporting date
whether there is an indication that an asset may
be impaired. If any indication exists, or when
annual impairment testing for an asset is
required, the Company estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset's net selling
price and its value in use. The recoverable
amount is determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows
that are largely independent of those from
other assets or groups of assets. Where the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable
amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. In determining net selling price, recent
market transactions are taken into account, if
available. If no such transactions can be
identified, an appropriate valuation model is
used. After impairment, depreciation is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the
asset over its remaining useful life.
8. Leases (where the Company is the lessee)
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the
Company substantially all the risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased item, are
capitalized at the lower of the fair value of the
leased property and present value of the
minimum lease payments at the inception of
the lease term and disclosed as leased assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the
finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability based on the implicit rate of return.
Finance charges are recognized as finance costs
in the statement of profit and loss. Lease
management fees, legal charges and other
initial direct costs are capitalized. A leased asset
is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
useful life of the asset or the useful life
envisaged in Schedule II to the Companies Act,
2013, whichever is lower.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains,
substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the leased item, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are
recognized as an expense in the statement of
profit and loss on a straight line basis over the
lease term.
9. Investments
i. Investments which are readily realizable and are
intended to be held for not more than one year
from the date, on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All
other investments are classified as long-term
investments.
ii. The Company values its investments based on
the accounting standard issued by the Institute
NOTES TOACCOUNTS
Midland Microfin Ltd. | Annual Report 2015-16 49
of Chartered Accountants of India as under:
a. Investments held as Long-term investments
are valued at cost. Provision for diminution
in value is not made unless there is a
permanent fall in their net realizable value.
b. Current investments are valued at lower of
cost or net realizable value.
c. On disposal of an investment, the difference
between the carrying amount and disposal
proceeds are charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss.
d. Quoted investments are valued on Market

10. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs, which are directly attributable

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized
immediately in the statement of Profit and
Loss as income or expense in the period in
which they occur. Past service cost is
recognised immediately to the extent that

13. Taxation
I. Tax expense comprises current and
deferred tax. Current income tax is
measured at the amount expected to be
paid to the tax authorities in accordance
with the Income Tax Act, 1961, enacted in
India. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted, at the
reporting date. Current income tax relating
to items recognized directly in equity is
recognized in equity and not in the
statement of profit and loss.
II. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of
timing differences between taxable income
and accounting income originating during
the current year and reversal of timing
differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date. Deferred income tax
relating to items recognized directly in
equity is recognized in equity and not in the
statement of profit and loss.
III. Deferred tax assets are recognized for
deductible timing differences only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty
that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax
assets can be realised. In situations where
the Company has unabsorbed depreciation
or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax
assets are recognized only if there is virtual
certainty supported by convincing evidence
that they can be realised against future
taxable profits.
IV. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets
are reviewed at each reporting date. The
Company writes-down the carrying amount
of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is
no longer reasonably certain or virtually
certain, as the case may be, that sufficient
future taxable income will be available
against which deferred tax asset can be
realised. Any such write down is reversed to
the extent that it becomes reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may
be, that sufficient future taxable income will
be available.
V. Excess/short provision of income tax
relating to earlier years is disclosed
separately in the accounts.
14. Earnings Per Share
In determining earning per share, the Company
considers the net profit after tax and includes
t h e p o s t - t a x e f f e c t o f a n y e x t r a -
ordinary/exceptional item. The number of
shares used in computing basic earning per
share is the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. The number of
shares used in computing diluted earning per
share comprises the weighted average shares
considered for deriving basic earning per share
and also the weighted average number of
equity shares that could have been issued on
the conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares. The diluted potential equity shares are
adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the
shares been actually issued at fair value. Dilutive
potential equity shares are deemed converted
at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a
later date. The number of shares and potential
dilutive equity shares are adjusted for any stock
splits and bonus shares issued effected prior to
the approval of the financial statements by the
board of directors.
15. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company
has a present obligation as a result of past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are not discounted to their present
value and are determined based on the best
estimate required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at
each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimates. Further the company
being a NBFC-MFI also complies with the
guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India
Midland Microfin Ltd. | Annual Report 2015-16 51
NOTES TOACCOUNTS
regarding the various provisioning norms.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that
arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence
of one or more uncertain future events beyond
the control of the Company or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is
not probable that an outflow of resources will
be required to settle the obligation. A
contingent liability also arises in extremely rare
cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured
rel iably. Contingent l iabi l i t ies are not
recognized but are disclosed in the notes.
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor
disclosed in the financial statements.

cash flow statement comprise cash in hand and
cash at bank and short-term investments with
an original maturity of three months or less.

Company.
