Management Discussion and Analysis Report:

Industry Structure and Developments

India's GDP grew by 9.2% in the fiscal year 2007 as compared to 7.5%, 8.1%, 8.4% in the fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively. This strong growth in the Indian economy is, among others, due to vibrant growth of the Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) sectors. These sectors benefit from the growing international trend towards off-shoring and the resultant demand for skilled and low-cost English-speaking workers. Indian competitiveness in this area is aided by substantial investment in telecommunications, infrastructure and the phased liberalisation of the communications sector. 

Real Estate Sector in India

Historically, the real estate sector in India was unorganised and characterised by various factors that impeded organised dealing. In recent years however, the real estate sector in India has exhibited a trend towards greater organisation and transparency, aided by various regulatory reforms.

These trends have been reinforced by the substantial recent growth in the Indian economy, which has stimulated demand for land and developed real estate across their business lines. Demand for residential, commercial and retail real estate is rising throughout India, accompanied by increased demand for hotel accommodation and improved infrastructure.

In addition, tax and other benefits applicable to Special Economic Zones are expected to result in a new source of demand.

Opportunities
 
The real estate sector in India is assuming growing importance with the liberalisation of economy. Real estate sector is driven by the following factors like more housing units in cities and towns because of faster growth in urban households due to nuclearisation, demand for office space, demand for shopping malls due to growing retail segment, Setting of Special Economic Zones in various sectors etc.

The Company has been a niche player in the market mainly due to the following: 

 * Innovative projects in the Bangalore region

 * End-to-end competencies 

 * An established brand name and reputation for quality 

 * Significant portfolio of global clientele

Risks and Threats: 

Risks are an integral part of any business. The level and types of risks depends / varies from company to company, based on its growth strategy, expansion plans, type of industry and host of various other factors. Some of the prominent risks faced by the Company are as follows:

 * Government Regulations

 * Performance of, and the conditions affecting, the real estate market in Bangalore. 

 * Difficulties in expanding business in India

 * Human Resources 

 * Financial Resources 

 * Natural Calamities

They ensure that sufficient risk mitigation measures are taken on a continual basis to overcome / reduce the impact of these risks.

Performance and Outlook:

During the year, the Company has completed residential, commercial and hospitality projects. The Company's standards of innovation, quality and trust have been established and constantly upgraded. These are clearly reflected in the projects completed by the Company. Two Integrated Lifestyle Enclaves were developed by the Company during the year which got a good response from the clients. The Company proposes to do integrated developments on a large scale in the future.

The demand for serviced apartments in South India, especially Bangalore, is high due to the presence of multi-national corporations. They are a niche player in the hospitality sector including serviced residences and would be exploring these opportunities on a large scale in the future.

They are optimistic about delivering superior results in future, based on their experience, land bank and project execution skills. 

Strategy: 
 
They intend to develop a range of properties in a number of cities in India to meet a diversified business model and to provide for increasing customer demands. The following are the key elements of their business strategy: 
 
 * Leveraging their expertise in the development of integrated lifestyle enclaves 

 * Focus on hospitality and related ventures

 * Expansion into various cities in South India

 * Maintain quality standards for residential and commercial development 

 * Outsourcing selectively to increase scale of operations and reduce capital investments 

 * Continued focus on properties in a diverse range of price segments

AS PER WEB SITE DETAILS

Since 1990, Brigade Group is a name instantly identified with Bangalore: the city in which they are headquartered, which they understand with instinctive ease and with which they share their past and future.

When they started, their sole focus was property development. Today, theirs is a uniquely diverse multi-domain portfolio that covers a wide range of residential, commercial and hospitality projects. Their projects now extend across several major cities in South India: Chennai, Chikmagalur, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mangalore and Mysore. They are one of Bangalore's leading property developers.

Brigade's standards of innovation, quality and trust have been established and are being upgraded constantly by the high-calibre team of Brigadiers. They draw upon a national and international pool of professional associates; employ modern construction technology; work in a professional environment supported by ERP; and follow best practices of HR management.

Their profile of clients, across domains, is a testament to the reputation they have earned.

PROFILE:

Subject is their flagship company. In the year 2007, they made the transition from a private to public limited company and set the path to a new trajectory.

Over 20 years, they have constructed luxury apartments, integrated enclaves, state-of-the-art offices, software and retail facilities, serviced residences, resorts, hotels, clubs and schools. At any given time, they have a range of projects that are in various stages of conception and creation.

They have successfully handled projects ranging from 0.1 million sft to 12 million sft. They have completed a total of 67 projects; on-going projects include 2 enclaves, 12 residential and 2 hospitality projects.

They have progressively introduced value-enhancing features to their buildings. These include advanced fire and security protection systems and technology like the Integrated Building Monitoring and Security System, which centrally monitors all building functions and systems. This has enabled them to increase building efficiency and ensure the continual comfort of its residents. They where also one of the first to incorporate eco-friendly measures like rainwater harvesting and waste recycling systems into their projects.

Brigade Hospitality Services Pvt. Limited

Brigade entered the hospitality industry with Brigade Homestead Serviced Residences and pioneered the concept of serviced residences in Bangalore. Today, BHSPL, their subsidiary company formed in 2004, manages serviced residences in various parts of the city.

They have extended operations in the hospitality industry by venturing into hotels, resorts and spas, clubs and a convention centre.
