The Registered Office of the company has been shifted from MBC Towers, No. 81, T T K Road, Alwarpet, Chennai – 600 018, Tamilnadu, India to the present address with effect from 16.05.2008.

 

BACKGROUND

 

Subject was incorporated in November 24, 1997 as a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is in the retailing business and operates stores across India under the names ‘Lifestyle’ and ‘Max’. During the year the company has acquired three business undertaking of LMG Brands India Private Limited for Marketing and Distribution of International Brands through Standalone stores and Shop in Shop arrangement with large retail chains across India.  

 

GENERAL INDUSTRY TRENDS

 

The first two quarters of financial year 2009-10 had the continued effect of economic slowdown across economies around the world. This coupled with liquidity crisis led to low customer demand in all the markets during the first half of the year. However, with the recovery in the Indian as well as global economy, the retail industry quickly recovered and this helped the Company to grow and deliver better results compared to business plans and industry average. Retail industry in India is currently witnessing improved growth trends and is expected 10 maintain momentum in the current year as well.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

Subject has completed ten years of operations and the brands of the Company viz., Lifestyle, Home Centre and Max are gaining increased acceptance by the consumers. Lifestyle department store has set a high bench mark for both shopping experience as well as product offering and has emerged as the preferred anchor tenant in most of the good shopping malls. This is due to sustained efforts put in by the Company on the store experience, brand mix and overall customer satisfaction over the past decade of operations.

 

Lifestyle: The Company expanded its operations by opening 2 new stores during the year at Bangalore and Hyderabad taking the total number of stores to 17 in the country. Increased focus on the product offering led to the target segment expanding in major Metros, tier I and tier II cities. This coupled with improved operating efficiencies has helped the Company to grow same stare sales by a healthy 19% and achieve an overall growth of 30% during the year. The Company has chalked out plans to open 11 new stores during the year 2010-11, which is expected to significantly increase turnover and also contribute to improved profitability of the Company, barring any unforeseen market conditions.

 

Home Centre: The furniture category remained under pressure due to the general slowdown in the economy and particularly in the real estate sector. The Company imports over 90% of its products in this segment and achieves price and quality proposition which gives it a competitive advantage. This differentiation in the market place helped the Company to gain market share despite adverse trading conditions.

 

The Company opened 2 new Home Centre stores during the year at Bangalore and Hyderabad taking the total number of stores to 11. This business grew 18% over previous year.

 

As a nature or Business, Home Centre requires substantial investment in back-end infrastructure in Logistics / Warehousing. The Company is confident of breaking even in this division in 2010-11, with continued growth in volumes and absorption of back-end costs and overheads on increased volumes.

MAX, the affordable fashion brand has been well accepted by the consumers. This Division recorded an impressive 34% same store growth in the year 2009-10. The Division has added 9 new stores during the year, taking the total number of stores to 26 and its overall sales growth to 78 %. Encouraged by the strong customer response and acceptance, the Company is planning to open 20 new stores during 2010-11. This Division is poised to achieve higher growth and your Directors are confident that this Division would become a strong prayer in the value Fashion segment and contribute significantly to the growth and profitability of the Company in the coming years.

 

Brands Division: In view of the operating synergies, the Company shareholders had approved the taking over of Bossini, Kappa and Splash brands of M/s. LMG Brands lndia Private Limited. This takeover has helped to consolidate the apparel category under Lifestyle International Private Limited.

 

The total income of the Company during the year stood at Rs.12080.700 millions (Rs.9290.900 millions recorded in the previous year). registering a growth of 30% over the previous year. However, the operations have resulted in a lass of Rs.166.800 millions, primarily on account of losses suffered in Divisions of Home Centre, Max and Brands.
