INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring has risen.  Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December period of the current financial year.  The government has decided to retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic ones. In M&A deals, a non compete clause would not be allowed, except in special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International.  India had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of 3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to banking services. These banks would focus on providing payment services and deposit products.  Indian banks want the free use of automated teller machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

The Company is a leader in the digital cinema enablement and service businesses. It has over 25 years of expertise in digital technology and has significant presence in the AV post production/ broadcast and digital cinema domains. RIMT is a pioneer across the AV digitization value chain and is the only Indian company owning DCI compliant server technology for digital cinema. RIMT pioneered digital cinema through its Qube suite of end-to-end digital cinema solutions. RIMT is the leading digital cinema roll-out sponsor in India driving the digitization process across the cinema value chain including digital theater roll-out, content mastering, managed services and in-theater advertising. It has a globally compatible inter-operable platform and has successfully rolled out its DCI/ non-DCI systems across conventional as well as 3D cinema screens.

 

 

BUSINESS DURING THE YEAR

 

The year saw a 33% growth in Operating Revenue and a 40% increase in the operating profits on the back of significant growth in both the Sales and Services segment of Digital Cinema.

 

Overall, it was a robust year for all lines of business despite being marked by heightened competitive activity. Of considerable satisfaction has been the growth of the QCN advertising division that grew by over 150% in revenue terms.

 

PBDITA, at 21.40%, is the highest achieved thus far by the company in the past 5 years and also represents a margin expansion over last year despite higher costs and competitive pressures on margins indicative of improved earnings yields from properties as anticipated.

 

 

INDIA

 

The Company’s screen base on the roll-out models grew to 2731 as at March 31, 2013, with 1999 under the Media Model [Previous Year- 1634] and 732 under the Pay Per Use Model [Previous Year- 653], notwithstanding that the Company decided to terminate over 50+ installations on account of irrational expectations of certain multiplex screen owners. The growth in screen count achieved is after accounting for these discontinued screens, and in that light a more creditable performance.

 

The Company further consolidated its position in the Southern markets and also accelerated direct roll-out into the other geographies, specifically the North and the West, backed by a strong strategic partnership for this purpose.

 

The year saw a 36 % increase in VPF and Mastering revenues indicative of improved earnings yields from properties on account of higher movie churn resulting from shorter runs. This had been an anticipated outcome with digital penetration growth which has facilitated wider releases due to lower logistics and print costs of digital prints.

 

The market’s need for DCI systems continues to be on the rise and the Company has geared itself appropriately, both from a business model and financial backing viewpoint to capitalize optimally on this opportunity, without undue compromise on long term profitability.

 

Competitive pressures had heightened during the year, and they expect the trend to continue given the limited number of screens available for first conversion. The company however has been following a steady policy on expected returns with financially unattractive opportunities being forfeited.

 

To leverage the DCI conversion momentum optimally, The Company had commenced the VPF agreement sign up with the Hollywood Studios that it will be able to benefit from till the end of calendar 2018 as per the current terms.

 

 

OVERSEAS :

 

Apart from the steady additions in the multiple markets the Company is present in, the Company also enhanced its presence in the China market. The export sales saw a growth of 107% over the previous year.

REAL IMAGE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INSTALLS 4K SYSTEMS FOR NOVELTY TALKIES, ALIGANJ

 

Published on Mon, 2013-09-30 21:20

 

Qube Cinema converts first single screen in North India to 4K digital.

 

Real Image Media Technologies Private Limited is pleased to announce the successful installation of Qube Cinema 4K 3D systems at Lucknow’s Novelty Talkies, the first single screen in North India. Novelty Talkies is the premium single screen in all of Uttar Pradesh, offering audiences in the area a quality movie-viewing experience, with large screens and digital surround sound.

 

Novelty Talkies now joins 3258 Qube Theatres in India in providing audiences a world-class digital cinema experience.  “Novelty Talkies chose to work with Qube Cinema because of its quality equipment and excellent support and service across all parts of India. Qube has a strong presence in all states and an experienced and reliable team to work with,” said Ajay Gupta, Owner, Novelty Talkies.

 

A key destination for cinema-lovers in Lucknow, Novelty Talkies is at the forefront of technological innovation amongst all single-screens in north India. The installation of a Barco 32 B 4K system (world’s largest projector) with Qube XP-I IMB is a step in that direction, to continue to provide the best cinema experience in that market.

 

From an audience perspective, 4K offers improved quality: unprecedented levels of resolution and contrast and, ultimately, a much more dynamic, engaging and immersive entertainment experience in a movie theatre. Top of the line Barco projectors guarantee razor-sharp images combined with consistent uniformity, rich contrast and vibrant, accurate colors. High frame rate (HFR) technology projects movies at a frame rate that is twice what’s seen in today’s cinemas. As a result, viewers see less flicker, motion blur and stuttered movement. The improvements to 3D movies are dramatic - creating ultra-realistic movie going experiences.

 

Both 4K and HFR are made possible by the IMB (Integrated Media block) installed in the projector. With an IMB, the content decryption takes place inside the projector making piracy tougher. The new link between server and projector / IMB is not only more secure and reliable, but also faster.

 

“It is a privilege for us to partner with Novelty Talkies on this new installation. We are very happy to provide a fantastic movie-viewing experience for Lucknow audiences with the installation of the new projection system. We hope to continue our association with Novelty Talkies, one of the premium cinemas in North India, for years to come,” said Arvind Ranganathan, CEO, Real Image Media Technologies.

 

“We have a significant presence on this market and we are honoured to build this tremendous association with Novelty Talkies for whom we have the utmost respect as a high quality group.  We are really proud that Qube Cinema converted the first single screen in North India to 4K digital," said Abel Garamhegyi, Managing Director at Barco India.

Logical choice

 

“We have been using Barco projectors for the last few years and we are very happy with the quality of their products and the support provided by Barco India. On top of that, most of our service team is Barco-certified for installation and maintenance. So it seemed only logical to reaffirm our trust in them,” said Mr. Arvind Ranganathan, CEO of RIMT. Wim Buyens, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Barco is happy with the next phase in our partnership: “We’re very proud to have a strong partner like RIMT at our side in the ever-promising Indian entertainment market. I’m convinced that both companies will reap a lot of benefits from this enhanced collaboration.”

 

Committed to success

 

Mr. Arvind Ranganathan believes that the close collaboration between both industry heavyweights will serve his company’s long-term goals: “At Real Image, we have always been determined to bring only the best and the latest media technology to the Indian market. Through this partnership with Barco, we are all set to continue on that successful path for the coming years.”

 

Mr. Abel Garamhegyi, Managing Director of Barco India, is enthusiastic as well: “For Barco, which is already the leading digital projector brand in India, the partnership is an ideal opportunity to further strengthen its foothold in India’s booming digital cinema market. “

“We are very excited to work with Real Image to install more than 50 Dolby Atmos equipped screens for cinema lovers in South Asia. Once these screens are installed, nearly 100 Dolby Atmos screens will have been installed in India alone, expanding our ability to deliver audiences across the region the most lifelike and realistic cinema sound experience possible,” said Mr. Michael Bergeron, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Field Operations, Dolby Laboratories.
