    Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements For the period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 Managed by Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited Investment Objective The investment objective of The Indian Film Company Limited (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries; The Indian Film Company (Cyprus) Limited (formerly Braxfield Investment Limited and IFC Distribution Private Limited (collectively the Group) is to achieve total return for Shareholders through investment in a diverse portfolio of Indian films and films primarily targeted at the Indian audience across different genres, languages and budgets. The Group intends to build a film library of Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) in various formats, including satellite, home video and mobile technology. The Directors and Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited (the “Investment Manager”) (formerly known as BK Enterprises Limited) believe that the Group is well placed to take advantage of film investment opportunities and to capitalise on the growth that the Indian film industry is experiencing.

In sourcing prospective film projects the Investment Manager thoroughly evaluates film concepts, scripts, directors and cast in respect of current market data relating to current tastes and trends. The Investment Manager then assesses the feasibility of the project in relation to budget, timescales and the risks and rewards of each opportunity. Once a film project has been approved by the Board, the Group seeks to retain full ownership of all IPR relating to each film project, although in certain situations the Group may invest in a film project where it may not acquire all rights.
