LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS

 

The Company's revenues comprise of sale/lease rentals of property at UB  City, Bangalore, Export Sales, Trade Mark License Fees, Dividends,  Guarantee Commission and Interest on Loans and Deposits.

 

 

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

 

The Company executed a Joint Development Agreement with a Developer on April 26, 2010 for development of a luxury residential building named as Kingfisher Towers - Residences at UB City in the available land in UB City.  The super built up area of the building would be 7,67,870 sq. ft. The super built up area falling to the share of the Company would be 4,18,388 sq. ft. The statutory approvals for construction of the  building have been received and the construction has since begun. When built, this residential development will add yet another landmark to  Bangalore's skyline besides augmenting revenues by sale of the  residential units.
 
Arising from the global economic slowdown, several Lessees of rental  space both office and retail have re- negotiated the rentals. This has  impacted the potential revenue of the Company. A re-negotiated rental  package with the retail lessees is now in place.

 

 

SALE OF PROPERTY

 
During the year, the Company sold Commercial Space measuring 31,103.64 sq. ft. of saleable super built up commercial area in UB City.
 
 
EXPORT BUSINESS
 
In recognition of consistent export performance, through innovative  marketing initiatives, and aggressive growth strategies in the  Alcoholic Beverages category, UB Global, the Export Division of the  Company was once again awarded the ‘Golden Trophy'' by APEDA. The Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry also honoured UB Global with the Star Exporter Award in the Merchant category.
 
The Export Division registered its highest ever profits this year, even though economic volatility in key markets of Europe and currency swings remained a major concern.  High levels of domestic inflation, resulting  in input cost spikes, affected the revenues of the Division. However, prudent management of foreign exchange and realigning of certain  products stood the Division in good stead.
 
Shipment of beer soared above the million cases mark once again.  Kingfisher Bohemia wines entered new markets and adds to our on-premise  presence in 10 countries.
 
The apparel business has consistently expanded its customer base, unit realizations, volumes and profitability. During the year, a new facility in Bangalore, entirely funded out of internal accruals, commenced production of premium casual wear.
 
The Division continued to invest in improving production capacity in  the Leather footwear manufacturing unit at Ambur, a leather industry  hub in Tamil Nadu. This enabled them to undertake production of high end women's footwear aimed at European customers.
