MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 


The Financial Year 2006-2007 has been a year of spectacular performance for the Company. The handsome financials recorded by the Company are true testimony for this. 


The business operations of the Company are segmented into Real Estate Development, Textile Trading and Others. This segmentation forms the basis for review of operational performance by the Management. 

 
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW 

 

In 2006-07, the Indian Economy witnessed vigorous growth with strong macroeconomic fundamentals characterized by all round development. The economy grew at 9.2% in 2006-07 and by most accounts has surpassed expectations. 

 
The overall macroeconomic fundamentals are robust, particularly with tangible progress towards fiscal consolidation and a strong balance of payments position. With an upsurge in investment, the outlook is distinctly upbeat. 
 
With higher growth, India will see emergence of a larger and richer consumer market. The country is also expected to see a change in consumption pattern with expenditure in real estate, healthcare, recreation, transport and communications going up substantially. 

 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW 

 
Real Estate Industry: 


The Indian Real Estate market has seen a multi-level rise in the last few years. Starting from infrastructure development to residential 'complex, commercial real estate to retail space development the Indian property market is booming with all kinds of activities. 

 
The buoyant growth in the economy has stimulated demand for land and developed real estate across all segments. Demand for residential, commercial and retail real estate is rising throughout the country, accompanied by increased demand for hotel accommodation and improved infrastructure. 


The nature of demand is also changing, with heightened consumer expectations that are influenced by higher disposable incomes, increased globalization and the introduction of new real estate products and services. 

 

In recent years, the sector has also exhibited a trend towards greater consolidation and transparency by various regulatory reforms. These reforms include: 

 
* The support of the GoI for the repeal of the Urban Land Ceiling Act, with nine state governments having already repealed the Act; 

 
* Modifications in the Rent Control Act to provide greater protection to homeowners wishing to rent out their properties; 
 
* Rationalization of property taxes in a numbers of states; and 

 
* The proposed computerization of land records. 

 

This trend has contributed to the development of reliable indicators of value and organized investment in the real estate sector by domestic and international financial institutions. It has also resulted in the greater availability of financing for real estate developments. Regulatory changes permitting foreign investment are expected to further increase investment in this sector.

The recent growth of the commercial real estate sector in India has been fuelled, largely by the increased revenues of companies in the services sector, particularly in the IT and ITES sectors. Industry sources expect the IT and ITES sectors to continue to grow and generate additional employment. 

 
According to industry reports, demand for space in the IT and ITES sectors is expected to increase at a CAGR of 25% over the three-year period ending 2007-2008 and at a CAGR of 24% over the five year period ending 2007-2008. It is estimated that the IT and ITES sector would require additional space of approximately 87 million square feet between the fiscal years 2006 and 2008. 

 
Retail Real Estate: 

 

Industry estimates suggest that over the last few years, retail has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the Indian economy. Retail industry in India is currently estimated to be more than US$300 billion, of which organized retailing makes up 3-4%. AT Kearney has identified India as the leading retail destination in their annual list of most attractive countries for international retail expansion (Source: Global Retail Development Index 2006). 

 

Organized retail is expected to grow at the rate of 25-30% per annum and is projected to attain a size of US$ 100 billion by 2010. Considering the vast potential in the retail business, 51% FDI in single brand retailing has also been allowed recently. This move is anticipated to attract foreign investments, technology, global best practices and cater to the demand for high quality branded goods in India. 

 

The retail boom has percolated to the Tier-II and Tier-III cities of India, as well. Out of the total 361 mall projects currently under way in India, 227 are in the top 7 cities while the remaining 134 are distributed over various Tier-II and Tier-III cities. These statistics reveal the far-reaching effects of positive macro trends in changing the consumer preferences and shifting mindsets towards organized retailing experience. Besides new malls, close to 35 hyper markets, 325 large department stores and over 10,000 new outlets are also under development. India's vast middle class and its virtually untapped retail industry are key attractions for global retail giants wanting to enter newer markets.

 
Recent growth in the hospitality sector in India has primarily been caused by the strong and buoyant economy, increased business travel and tourism. Room demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10% over the next five years and growth in occupancy rates is likely to be assisted by factors such as increase in the number of incoming travellers and huge investments in the hotel industry. 

 
Cinema and Entertainment: 

 

The Indian entertainment industry is currently estimated at Rs. 234 billion, with films contributing a significant proportion. While the industry is expected to grow annually at almost 21% to reach approximately Rs. 617 billion by 2010, the Indian cinema industry is expected to reach Rs. 153 billion in 2010, contributing 25% to India's entertainment industry. 

 
Multiplex Cinemas: 

 

The key economic advantages of multiplex cinemas over single screen cinemas include better occupancy ratios and the ability for cinema operators to choose to show movies in a larger or a smaller theatre based on expected audience size. Multiplex cinema operators are therefore able to maintain higher capacity utilization compared to single-screen cinemas and can also provide a greater number of film showings. Further more, multiplexes allow for better exploitation of the revenue potential of the movies 

 

The key growth drivers responsible for the expected increase in the number of multiplex cinemas include an increase in disposable income across an expanding Indian middle class, favorable demographic changes, strong growth in organized retail and the availability of entertainment tax benefits for multiplex cinema developers. 
 
 Residential Real Estate: 

 

The growth in the residential real estate market in India has been largely driven by rising disposable incomes, a rapidly growing middle class, low interest rates, fiscal incentives on both interest and principal payments for housing loans and heightened customer expectations as well as increased urbanization and nuclearisation. 
 
The number of households with annual incomes of between Rs. 2 million and Rs. 5 million per year, Rs. 5 million and Rs. 10 million per year and in excess of Rs. 10 million per year is expected to increase in size by 23%, 26% and 28%, respectively, between the fiscal years 2002 and 20 10.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS 

 

India today stands on the cusp of a revolution. Confidence and optimism reign high. The real estate development industry in India has also gained significant momentum. Strong economic growth, influx of foreign investments and the growing middle~ class make this sector highly attractive. 


The Company's opportunities lie in the adequate demand for shopping centers, malls, theatres, auditoriums, stadiums, clubs, spas, resorts for entertainment purposes. The opportunity is largely driven by demographics, considering 60% of its population is under 29 years and 150 million households are expected to join the consuming class by 2010. 


 
However, with opportunity comes competition. The Company may face competition from other leading players in the industry or other similar projects coming up. Uncertainties related to the maintainability of high price as to the present standard is an area of concern with the huge surplus land available for the development to the private developers. Any slow-down in the economy or political upheaval might also affect the revenues and margins. 
 
 RISKS AND CONCERNS 


In the highly competitive market, the Company's ability to manage diverse risks determines its success. The Company ensures that the risks it undertakes are commensurate with better returns. While management is positive about the Company's long-term outlook, they are subject to the following risks and uncertainties: 
 
 Economic Risk: 

 
The performance and growth are dependent on the health of the Indian economy. The economy could be adversely affected by various factors such as political, social disturbances, natural calamities etc. Any slowdown in the Indian economy may impact the business and financial performance. 

 
India's economy grew at a rate of 9.2% during 2006-07 and is expected to continue demonstrating this growth in the coming years. The growth story is backed by high investment rate, attractive demographics, as well as good consumption and export demand. This is expected to lead to higher levels of disposable incomes and thus lead to an even higher rise in consumerism. Given the strong fundamentals, they strongly believe that the momentum in the Indian economy will continue. 

 
Regulatory Risk: 


They operate in a highly regulated environment, and any adverse change in existing and new laws, regulations and government policies affecting the sectors in which they operate could affect the operations and the profitability. Restrictions on foreign direct investment in the real estate sector may also hamper the ability to raise additional capital. 
 
The regulatory framework, particularly of the real estate industry in India, is evolving. The recent years have seen the real estate sector exhibiting a trend towards greater organization and transparency by various regulatory reforms. Steps like the repealing of the Urban Land Ceiling Act in some states, modifications in the Rent Control Act, FDI relaxations etc. are reforms that are giving an overall positive boost to the industry and they continue to remain optimistic about future regulatory and policy framework. 

 
Concentration Risk/ Dependency Risk: 

 

They currently depend on High Street Phoenix (HSP) for almost all of the income. The income from HSP during the fiscal year 2007 stood at 98% of the total income. Any failure of HSP to generate income would have an adverse effect on the total income and profitability. 

 

The Company has undertaken various expansion plans, thus broadening its income base. Development of Market City Projects including those to be acquired as a result of the merger and acquisition is expected to diversify the revenue streams. However, until the merger, acquisition and projects are complete, they expect the income from HSP to continue to comprise of almost all of the total income. 

 
Implementation Risk: 

 

They are embarking on an ambitious growth strategy, which involves, as a result of the merger and acquisition, equity interests in, and the development of, seven market city projects and hotels in various prominent locations all over India. The expansion and diversification is on a scale that is unprecedented in the history and places significant demand on the management as well as the financial, accounting and operating systems among other resources. They may come across challenges implementing the strategies, particularly the growth strategy. 
 
 The creation and management of HSP has not only given us an all-round experience in understanding the real estate sector but have also given us an opportunity to understand the nuances of retail, residential, commercial and hospitality sector. The success of HSP has further given us the confidence to execute other impending projects, they will continue to remain focused on the core competency and develop and improve the operational, financial and other internal controls. 

 

OUTLOOK 
 
Considering the strong economic growth, retail boom and the strong waves in the infrastructure and real estate development, they strongly believe in a promising future. India is entering a golden age of consumerism backed by strong demographics. the Company, with its integrated retail-led development is expected to be a major beneficiary for the same.

 

They intend to replicate the success in HSP, by executing Market City and hotel development projects. They are also penetrating into other metropolitan cities, including in other areas in Mumbai, as well certain Tier II cities in India, which they believe have a potential for high growth.
