B. Operations of the Schemes Axis Mutual Fund (‘Axis MF’) continued on a strong growth trajectory and achieved a new peak AUM this year. Axis MF witnessed strong inflows in its schemes, on the back of strong performance of its schemes despite subdued capital markets. The number of active investor accounts too ballooned and we currently have over than 1 million active investor accounts. Following major initiatives were enhanced:

1. EasySell: An online platform that empowers the advisors to initiate transactions for their clients in schemes of Axis MF. Clients in turn login using the EasyApp or website (www.axismf.com) to authorise the transaction.

2. EasyApp: It enables new investors in schemes of Axis MF to monitor their investments and perform investment transactions on the go. Apart from these, users can plan for their life's goals (using Mutual Funds), watch informative videos and connect with Axis MF in case they have a query.

3. Axis MF Lounge: A knowledge-sharing application created for internal & external stakeholders with the intention of making information available on-the-go. The application is pre-loaded with info pertaining to products & services of Axis MF, Market Updates, Interesting Videos, Tools, amongst other resources.

4. Revamp of www.axismf.com: More than just a design change the new website provides an integrated platform for aggregated content across various social media like youtube, facebook.

C. Future Outlook Summary and Background : The economy has bottomed over the last couple of years and growth seems to be reviving and should continue to steadily improve. However the revival has not been uniformly witnessed across different sub-components leading to what may be called a 2-speed economy. This trend is likely to remain so in the current financial year even as the overall growth rate improves. We expect the growth in 2016-2017 to be led by public sector capex and urban consumption. Private sector capex cycle will likely turn only 1-2 years down the line.

Weak inflation and output gap allowed RBI to carry out policy rate cuts. The government has undertaken a series of policy steps that can improve the growth environment in the medium term. Indian economy has become structurally much more sound in the last couple of years as the twin deficits have come down sharply. We believe that India can regain and indeed have a healthy growth rate over the next 3-4 years. Over the medium term earnings should start reflecting the improvement in the growth environment and has the potential to run ahead of nominal economic growth as the cycle strengthens.

Equity outlook : Within India there has been a resetting of reform and policy expectations of market participants and stake holders from the government even as the government has faced political challenges in passing reform legislation. Finally and most significantly, the ongoing economic recovery has been weaker than expected so far and consequently demand has not picked up sufficiently. This has led to disappointments in topline growth across sectors leading to earning downgrades.

Corporate profits have trailed nominal GDP growth over the last few years. The pressure on profitability has come from a number of factors - weak demand, large capex projects in progress (many of which have got stuck or delayed), high interest rates and high input cost inflation. As these issues start getting resolved over time, we should be entering a period where earnings growth can outpace nominal GDP growth over the next few years.

Looking ahead into 2016-2017, we think that the equity market sentiment seems to have become excessively cautious. We expect continued steady improvement in the growth environment which should start flowing through into better corporate earnings. Helping earning growth in 2016-2017 are lower inflation and commodity prices, good monsoon leading to improved rural economy, transmission of 125 bps of rate cuts done this year, improvement in urban discretionary demand, follow-on effects of government spending on capex as also one-off factors such as award of the pay commission. Hence we advise, long term investors should stay invested in the market.

Debt Market Outlook : India’s external accounts are likely to remain comfortable even as the balance of payments surplus has narrowed in the absence of large portfolio inflows. India has seen significant addition to its foreign reserves over the last 2 years which provides it with high level of external resilience. The Rupee after a period of disproportionate strength in 2014, has been broadly tracking other Asian currencies in the last few months.

India’s relative macro outperformance continues in a difficult global environment. Q4 GDP growth came at 7.9% which was better than the Q3 number of 7.2%. Growth was led by consumption while investment remained a drag. The gradual cyclical recovery should push GDP growth further over the next year. However given the output gap that exists, we do not expect the growth revival to have any immediate pressure on inflation.

The yield curve continues to show a large positive slope relative to the flat curve that existed 1 year ago. The steepness is presenting an opportunity in the 3-5 year corporate bond segment. While further policy rate cuts are likely limited, better transmission and changed liquidity stance, should lead to lower market rates over the next 12 months.

2. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (“Company”), the scheme’s asset manager, is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows, where applicable, of the Schemes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and amendments thereto (‘the SEBI Regulations’). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Scheme’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.OpinionIn our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information required by the SEBI Regulations in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:(a) in the case of the balance sheets, of the state of affairs of the respective Schemes as at March 31, 2016;(b) in the case of the revenue accounts, of the surplus/(deficit), as applicable, for the period as mentioned above; and(c) in the case of the cash flow statements, where applicable, of the cash flows for the period as mentioned above.Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements1. As required by Regulation 55(4) and clause 5(ii)(2) of the Eleventh Schedule of the Regulations, we report that:

a. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit;b. In our opinion, the balance sheet and revenue account dealt with by this report have been prepared in conformity with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth

Schedule to the Regulations; andc. The balance sheets, revenue accounts and cash flow statements, where applicable, dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account of the Scheme.

2. In our opinion, and on the basis of information and explanations given to us, the methods used to value non traded securities as at March 31, 2016 are in accordance with the Regulations and other guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, as applicable, and approved by the Boards of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited, and are fair and reasonable.
