LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The overall turnover of the Company registered a 10.96% while Net Profit rose by 1716%.

During the year the thrust was on the expansion of Company's Multiplex business, the details of which are mentioned elsewhere in this Report.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK 2005-2006

Overall: The rise in the number of multiplexes and growth in digital cinemas are the two main criteria expected to drive the market in the coming years. Home video market comprising of DVDs/VCDs sell through and other future formats is expected to considerably revolutionise the market.

The rising number of Indian overseas population will continue to boost the demand for overseas  prints and collection for the Indian producers. The advent of digital delivery, though reflecting a modest growth will be the answer to piracy in the country. In light of takeover by the Reliance group, the Company is repositioning itself for growth in its thrust areas of multiplexes and has further plans to launch new business activities like film distribution in domestic and overseas market, television software and animation films and contents at international  levels. The scenario on the existing business is expected to be as follows:

 

Film Processing: The Company's existing lab operations comply with international quality standards.

The Company's front end processing lab at Chennai in association with Vijaya Labs, Chennai has commenced functioning since April 2005 and the Kolkatta lab is expected to start in December 2005.

The Company shall make all efforts to retain market leadership in this field of business through ongoing technological improvement and upgradation.

 

Film Exhibition Business: The Multiplex business at Wadala during the year has shown a steady performance.

This year saw the release of two IMAX DMR films namely "Robots" and Batman Begins" . They intend  to release two more DMR films towards the end of 2005 viz., 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Harry Potter-The Goblet of Fire" distributed by Warner brothers. IMAX DMR films have had successful runs at their theatre and they expect the above mentioned films to be box office successes.

 

Last year the Company launched an extensive school programme to reach out to various schools in Mumbai in order to create awareness about the IMAX format and its educational content. This programme was successful and during this year, the programme will be continued and they expect to see higher attendance numbers.

 

The Company is also currently negotiating to manage an IMAX flat screen cinema in the North.

Due to the release of a string of good films, this quarter ending June 2005 has seen good results. Efforts are being made to increase footfalls in all their theatres by effective marketing and promotions, online contesting and effective programming. They are focusing on increasing food and beverage revenues and advertising income. There has been an increase in ticket rates across their properties, and they use the variable pricing option to maximize revenues. They are aggressively working towards bringing down cost of operations. They are also investing in training manpower to ensure delivery of quality service across all their properties.

 

The Imax Multiplex having entered its fourth year of operation is now attracting a benefit of 75% exemption from entertainment tax.

 

The Company has plans to open 22 more screens during the year across India viz. MetroAdlabs (5 screens-Mumbai), Cineplex Adlabs (3 screens-Mangalore), Adlabs (4 screens-lndore), Adlabs (3 screens+1 IMAX flat screen -Ghaziabad), Adlabs (3 screens-Ghaziabad), RDB Adlabs (3 screens-Kolkatta).

 

Film Production: The year 2004-05 saw the release of "DEV" by the Company's wholly owned

subsidiary viz. Entertainment One (India) Limited, which won three awards viz. Filmfare Critics

Award-2004,Award for Best Film and also for Best Actress.The films under production are : Oil jo BhiKahey, Apaharan, Marigold (International banner),Bluff Master and Darwaza Band Rakho. The details on these projects are given in the Directors' Report of Entertainment One (India) Limited.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

The Indian film industry considered to be the largest in the world, in terms of number of films

produced and released continues to make its mark in terms of consolidation, realignment and

growth. Over 800 films are released every year and the cumulative consumer spending on filmed entertainment in India averages at approximately Rs.60 billion per annum. The Hindi films segmentattracts 40-50% of the total consumer spending in India. Though this segment is primarily unorganized, several developments in terms of corporatisation and improved corporate governance has changed the face of the industry.

 

The Indian film industry during the year was largely impacted by growing number of multiplexes thus enabling movie goers in urban India experience a new way of enjoying movies and providing an incentive for low budget niche films and experimental cinema. The effect was also seen in terms of decrease in average release time in theatres, providing direct growth opportunity to home video business and growing revenues from satellite and cable rights. The year also saw the digitalisation of cinema which along with steps taken by some major producers to make their own distribution arrangements has helped in checking piracy. Besides, the ever increasing NRI population provided a steady platform not only to Indian film producers who successfully tapped this home-starved population by making films with cross-over themes but have also invested in Indian movies as producers.

 

 Overall the year witnessed a steady growth and the industry is expected to benefit further in the years to come on the back of a fast growing economy and increasing disposable income

Segmentwise Analysis:

1. Film Processing:

The Company's film processing business has been built around a strong working relation with

almost all big and small production houses in India. As most of the large film banners are located in Western India, the Company enjoys a sustained locational advantage. Keeping in mind the dominance of regional-films in the Indian filmed entertainment market, Adlabs has set up front end film processing laboratories in Chennai and Kolkatta, the effect of which shall be visible in the Company's performance of 2005-06.

 

2. IMAX Dome and Multiplex Theatre Operations:

The forward integration into exhibition business has seen the Company consolidate this business by setting up further multiplexes in Mumbai (HumaAdlabs) and Pune (GoldAdlabs). The Company is currently operating 24 screens in Mumbai, Nasik and Pune. As mentioned in the Directors' Report to the Members, the Company plans to open 22 more screens by March 2006.

 

The Company intends to use the lease model for all future multiplex acquisitions. Multiplexes shall be located in malls rather than standalone properties and they plan to acquire dominant market share in each of the cities they plan to enter similar to Mumbai.

 

The year 2004-05 saw the successful release of DMR films like "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban",Spiderman 2" and Polar Express at the Dome. Based on these successful releases the Company subsequently released "ROBOTS" AND "BATMAN BEGINS" in the Dome theatre in DMR Format. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Harry Potter-The Goblet of Fire" are scheduled to release by the end of 2005.

 

The extensive launch of school programmes to reach out to children and create awareness of IMAX Dome concept by exhibiting edutainment films is an ongoing process. Coupled with cost control measures and contribution from other streams of income the Theatre segment is expected to post a steady performance.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK 2005 - 2006

A detailed discussion on the business outlook is included in the Directors' Report to the Members.

 

OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS

 

Opportunities: While co-production treaties, rising demand for number of prints in overseas market, rising share of regional films in .the Indian film market and the increase in number of international films dubbed in Indian languages can provide an opportunity to grow for the production and the processing and allied services business; the organised retail boom, demand for quality theatre complexes, better occupancy due to multiple screens, flexibility to decide on screening schedule and finally effective cost management is expected to be the growth driver for multiplex business. Besides the association with other business groups for its processing and multiplex business shall enable the company to derive infrastructure support while providing technical expertise and support to the group projects.

 

Threats: It is felt that there is possibility of saturation of film processing revenues or the growth could be at a steady pace at current levels. Anticipating this the Company has set front end labs at Chennai and Kolkatta keeping in mind the dominance of regional films and tremendous business opportunity. The rising number of entrants in multiplex business may affect the established players. However the diversity of Company's services substantially offsets any potential adverse impact on the Company's business. Besides the pressure on margins due to the levy of entertainment tax after expiry of the initial holiday period is expected to be countered with increase in ticket prices and adding other revenue streams to multiplex business. The risk of changes in Government regulations and tax policies across states could affect the industry. Finally as the Company is entertainment dependent, any downslides in the industry could directly impact the Company's performance.

 

RISK MANAGEMENT

Obsolescence risk: The Company makes investment in new premises, technology in line with expected growth of its business. If this investment becomes obsolete or the growth does not fructify, due to ever changing technology, Company's investment could become obsolete. This risk is mitigated by effective planning, continuous assessment of process and business requirement and cross deployment of resources.

 

Competition risk: With entry of new aggressive players in Company's multiplex business, competition will intensify. To mitigate this risk, Company scans diligently for locations before finalising any project for present and potential competitors and tracking their strengths, weaknesses and strategies.

 

Operation risk: This mainly implies risk from non performance of resources such as men, machines or systems or effect of any external event. This is endemic to every business. The Company has procedures in place to identify, control and measure any adversities resulting from such risks based on management perception. Risk due to manmade/natural disaster The physical facilities and infrastructure are insured to cover

only loss that may arise on account of insurable risks which as per management perception is

generally covered by insurance companies and assets of the Company are exposed to risks to that extent.

 

 

FIXED ASSETS: 

 

Leasehold Land, Building, Air conditioner Plant, Electrical installation, Plant & Machinery, Theatres & equipment, Furniture & Fixture, Vehicle etc.

 

AS PER WEBSITE:

 

Adlabs Films Ltd was founded by Mr. Manmohan Shetty and Mr. Vasanji Mamania in 1978 to set up a motion picture processing laboratory in Mumbai. The company initially catered to the ad film market (hence the name "Adlabs"). The company has since evolved into processing full-length feature films controlling 70% of the Western India market.

Adlabs, today is a market leader in the Entertainment Industry. It has an integrated business model covering the entire value chain from Film Production & Processing to Distribution, Exhibition & FM Radio.



Adlabs entered the Film Exhibition Business in the year 2000, with the setting up of a 518 seat IMAX® Dome theatre, (The largest Dome Theatre in the world) along with Mumbai's first multiplex (4 screens and 1314 seats). In 2000, the company also floated an IPO of 4.4 million equity shares at Rs.120/- per share aggregating to Rs. 528 million. It was one of the first Film Companies to go public. The trust in the company and its promoters was evident from the public's response to the issue.

In 2005, The Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (Reliance - ADA Group) acquired a 50.16% stake in Adlabs Films Limited for a price of Rs.3.6 billion, signifying the entry of this diversified and professional conglomerate in the Media & Entertainment Industry. In addition to Films (Exhibition, Production, Processing & Distribution), the ADA Group has plans to expand its presence across the Entertainment Value Chain ranging from Television to Radio and DTH.

Combining their synergies, Adlabs along with the Reliance- ADA Group, are looking at rapidly expanding their presence across all relevant segments of the Entertainment Space and have started taking steps in the direction of Film Production, Production Services, Processing, Film Exhibition, Overseas Distribution and FM Radio.

In keeping with this vision, in January 2006, the Reliance backed Adlabs, bagged 45 FM Radio licenses in all, making it one of the largest players in terms of number of licenses owned including stations of existing players.

BUSINESS DIVISIONS

Film Processing: The Film Processing business has a fairly straightforward model wherein the commercial risk is low but relationships with movie studio/ producers as well as integrity of the processing laboratory count immensely, in view of piracy and IPR related risks. The film processing business has grown at an average of 19% over the last 5 years.

To keep up with the times and, - to offer a one-stop stop solution to its clients, Adlabs picked up a minority 6% stake in Prime Focus (an animation and special effects studio) at a cost of Rs. 46.6 million.

As Adlabs has established itself as the preferred provider of services and adopts a unique working capital cycle dovetailed with the nuances of film production, the incidence of bad debts have been few and far between. Adlabs laboratories, located in Film City, Mumbai, have a total film processing capacity of 20,000 feet per year. The company currently has an 80% captive market share in the Film Processing business in Western India and has acquired Vijaya Labs in Chennai, to increase its footprint in South India. Plans to invest in a similar front end-processing laboratory in Kolkotta are also under way.

Digital Cinema: Digital Cinema encompasses the production, delivery and projection of full-length motion pictures, trailers, advertisements, and other audiovisuals into "Cinema Quality" programmes to theatres using digital technology. The digital cinema system uses a "store-and-forward" concept to distribute motion pictures which have been digitized, compressed, encrypted and delivered to theatres using either physical media distribution (such as DVD-ROMS) or through other electronic transmission methods (such as satellite).

Most movies in India are released only in the top 45 odd towns (called "A" centers in movie parlance). The upcountry markets must wait their turn as prints are "returned" from these "A" centers a few weeks after the release. However, in the interim, the digital videodisc, (pirated or otherwise) shows cash in on the audience in smaller towns. Adlabs in a 50-50 JV with Mukta Arts (A listed movie production company) named Mukta Adlabs Digital Exhibition Limited (MADEL) has introduced the digital distribution concept since 2003. MADEL has till date covered 52 theatres and is seeking to expand its footprint into several more Indian towns.
