HISTORY & BACKGROUND OF OUR PROMOTER

The Promoter of our Company i.e. Pentamedia Graphics Limited (PMGL) was incorporated as Pentagon Agency Private Limited in the year 1976. The name of our Promoter was changed to Pentafour Software Export Limited in the year 1991 and it went public in the year 1992.

Our Promoter was one of the first companies in the Information Technology (IT) sector to be listed on the Stock Exchanges in India. Our Promoter during the period 1994 to 2001 was a pioneer in many fields of IT including high end software training, software product development, on-site consulting. Our Promoter was one of the first companies in India to offer special effects and animation products & services under one roof. Our Promoter was the highest software exporter of the country for a period of three (3) consecutive years from 1996–1999 and received various awards and recognitions from the Government of India.

Our Promoter in the year 1999 felt the need to split the company into two (2) corporate entities to drive focus into two (2) different verticals namely software and media related activities. Subsequently, our Promoter ( then known as Pentafour Software and Exports Limited ) demerged the software related activities with Pentafour Communications Limited ( a listed entity ) and changed its name to Pentasoft Technologies Limited with a focus on software training, product development & on-site consulting. At the same time our Promoter ( Pentafour Software and Exports Limited ) was renamed as Pentamedia Graphics Limited (hereinafter referred to as PMGL ) with focus on media related activities.

As a part of its media growth strategy PMGL acquired a slew of companies in the year 2000 including Mayajaal Entertainment Limited through which it then proposed to offer various kinds of entertainment product and services like films, themed, sports, web, tv & studio all under one roof.

PMGL produced animation feature films using motion capture technology and distributed its films through independent distributors around the world. Some of PMGL’s films including ‘Alibaba & Forty Thieves’, ‘The Legend of Buddha’ and ‘Gulliver’s Travel’ qualified for the nominations to the OSCAR Awards. PMGL produced and distributed six (6) animation films worldwide between the period 1998 to 2004.

However, after the World Trade Centre attacks in the US in the year 2001, commonly known as ‘9/11’, PMGL and its overseas subsidiaries faced difficulty in distribution of its animation films in the overseas markets as the content of these films was region specific and could not be exploited to their fullest extent. PMGL subsidiaries, which had entered into distribution agreements with overseas distributors and its distributors which had acquired distribution rights of its animation films filed for bankruptcy/ dissolution under U.S. law. PMGL was forced to scale down operations leading to a liquidity crisis.

In the year 2004 a Composite Scheme of Amalgamation, Arrangement and Compromise between PMGL, Mayajaal Entertainment Limited, Media Dreams Limited, Kris Srikkanth Sports Entertainment Limited and Intelivision Limited and their respective shareholders and creditors was sanctioned by the High Court of Madras by an Order dated 8 th November 2004. The Order was further modified by the High Court by a further Order dated 29 th November 2007. As a part of this Scheme, the animation and web entertainment business of PMGL was demerged into Mayajaal Entertainment Limited.

With the scheme coming into effect Mayajaal became one of the few companies in the world to offer all forms of entertainment including themed, sports, Web, TV & Studio entertainment all under one (1) roof with production and exhibition activities.

Post 2004, PMGL has been settling its liabilities with lenders and creditors, including banks and financial institutions, by way of sale of its movable & immovable assets and transfer of equity shares of its subsidiaries including Mayajaal Entertainment Limited, to set-off certain other debts.

In the year 2005, SEBI passed an Order against PMGL and its directors, its then subsidiary Mayajaal and its directors, S. Chandrasekaran ( Former CFO, PMGL and also Ex-Director of Mayajaal Entertainment Limited ), prohibiting them from accessing capital markets or dealing in securities, in any manner, directly or indirectly

10

till May, 2007. For further details on the SEBI Order, please refer to the section on "Risk Factors" on page 13 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

PMGL is presently undergoing a restructuring exercise by way of a proposed Composite Scheme of Amalgamation, Arrangement and Compromise between Pentamedia Graphics Limited and Pentasoft Techonolgies Limited ( a listed group company of PMGL ), and their respective shareholders and creditors. The scheme has been approved by the BSE by its letter dated 25 th November, 2008. PMGL filed the company application before the High Court of Madras for an order to convene the meeting of its shareholders and creditors which is scheduled to be held on 11 th February, 2009 for their approval.

The restructuring exercise proposes a significant reduction in the debt burden on the merged entity i.e. Pentamedia Graphics Limited. In terms of this arrangement the entire undertaking of PSTL will be transferred and vested in PMGL as a "going concern" effective from 1st October, 2008. The equity shareholders of PSTL will be allotted one (1) equity shares of Re. 1/- each fully paid up of PMGL for every five (5) equity shares of Rs. 10/- each in PSTL. The scheme further proposes to convert a debt of Rs.136,41,35,845 owed by PSTL into equity shares of Re.1/- each of PMGL with effect from 1 st October, 2008 i.e. the Appointed Date of the Scheme.

3. SEBI Order against, our Company, our Promoter and Directors

In September, 2003, PMGL issued certain equity shares on preferential basis at Rs.11.36 per share to Vijay Advertising Private Limited (VAPL) and Sathya Securities Private Ltd. ("Sathya"). On a preliminary enquiry, SEBI found that two (2) sets of physical share certificates covering 34,00,000 equity shares each, issued in the name of VAPL existed at the same time bearing the same distinctive numbers. One set of share certificate, in physical form, was pledged with Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) by VAPL apparently to secure the dues payable by PMGL to OBC. VAPL through its depository participant made a dematerialization request to PMGL’s RTA & STA enclosing another set of physical share certificates pertaining to the same distinctive numbers as those pledged with OBC. It appeared that either the shares pledged by VAPL with OBC were fake or the shares sent to the STA for dematerialization and subsequently sold in the market were fake.

Apparently, VAPL had sold the demat shares in the market, even though another set of original shares in the name of VAPL and pertaining to the same distinctive number continued to remain pledged in physical form with OBC. PMGL and its directors prima facie appeared to have actively assisted VAPL in the above fraud by simultaneously issuing shares bearing the same distinctive numbers without cancelling the earlier issued shares. SEBI found PMGL and its directors guilty of violation of Regulation 3 and Regulation 4 (2)(h) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003.

In view of the findings of the preliminary enquiry as narrated hereinabove SEBI by an ex-parte interim order dated 27 th May, 2005 restrained PMGL from accessing capital market and from issuing any further shares or altering its share capital in any manner, and also prohibited PMGL, including its directors from dealing in securities market, till further directions.

14

In respect of the preferential issue by PMGL to VAPL and Sathya, SEBI observed that the funds for subscription aggregating to Rs.10,83,20,000 was provided by PMGL through its then subsidiary, Mayajaal Entertainment Limited. In the process SEBI found PMGL and Mayajaal Entertainment Limited, including their management, to have violated Regulation 3(b),(c) and (d) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations, 2003 and Section 77 of Companies Act, 1956. Further, PMGL and its management were found guilty by SEBI of various violations under SEBI (Disclosures for Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2005 and Listing Agreement. SEBI issued Show Cause Notice dated 22 nd December, 2005 to nineteen (19) entities including PMGL and Mayajaal.

In the light of the facts of the case, as brought out by SEBI investigation, PMGL and its directors, violated Regulation 3(b), (c), (d) and 4(2) (h) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations 2003. Mayajaal and its directors, Sri S. Chandrasekaran (Former CFO, PMGL and Ex- Director of Mayajaal Entertainment Limited), violated Regulation 3(b), (c) and (d) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations, 2003.

SEBI, accordingly passed an Order against PMGL and its directors, Mayajaal and its directors, S. Chandrasekaran (Former CFO, PMGL and also Ex-Director of Mayajaal Entertainment Limited), prohibiting them from accessing capital market or dealing in securities, in any manner, directly or indirectly, for a period of twenty four (24) months. For the purpose of reckoning the same, the period of prohibition already undergone by ex-parte ad interim order dated 27th May, 2005 and the post-decisional Order dated 3rd October, 2005 were taken into account.

However, SEBI excluded the implementation of the Order to PMGL and Mayajaal in so far as the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation, Arrangement and Compromise approved by the High Court of Madras. The Order further directed PMGL, Mayajaal and their directors not to divest, transfer, sell or alienate in any way the shares received/to be received by them due to the implementation of the Scheme of Amalgamation, Arrangement and Compromise for a period co-terminus with the period of prohibition imposed above.

PMGL, our Company, our present Managing Director Mr. Udeep Bogollu and Non-Executive Director Ms. Sumathi Sridharan named in the SEBI Order have fully abided by the above Order.

In addition to the above, SEBI filed a criminal complaint under Section 181 of the Indian Penal Code against our Promoter, Dr. V Chandrashekharan and others before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Chennai. However, there have been no summons issued against the Promoter by the Court.

4. We have substantial indebtedness and will continue to have debt service obligations following the Issue.

The total amounts outstanding and payable by us as principal and interest on account of the loan arrangements with various banks and financial institutions as on 30 th September, 2008 is Rs.2287.88 Lakhs. For further information on the financing and loan agreements along with the total amounts outstanding and the details of the repayment schedule see Annexure-9 of section titled Financial information on page 153 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

In addition to the above, our Company has issued a corporate guarantee and further created an equitable mortgage by deposit of title deeds of our immovable property admeasuring 20.97 acres of land situated at No. 35, Kanathur Reddy Kuppam Village, Chengalput Taluk and District for securing loan facilities availed by PMGL from Bank of India in the year 1996, currently assigned to Kotak Mahindra Bank and its nominee Pegasus Asset Reconstruction Private Limited (Pegasus). PMGL has defaulted in the repayment of the loan and a recovery suit has been filed before the DRT, Chennai for the recovery of a sum of Rs. 3964.91 Lakhs, together with interest thereon at the rate of 17.50% p.a against PMGL and others including our Company. For details of the above litigation, please refer to the section titled "Outstanding Litigation" appearing on page 189 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

15

5. We have entered into certain related party transactions and may continue to do so.

We have entered into related party transactions with our Promoters, Group Companies, Directors and related entities. While we believe that all such transactions have been conducted on the arms length basis, however it is difficult to ascertain whether more favorable terms would have been achieved had such transactions been entered with unrelated parties. Furthermore, it is likely that we will enter into related party transactions in the future. For details of these transactions, please refer to section titled "Related Party Transactions" at page no. 151 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

6. There is no standard valuation methodology or accounting practices in the entertainment and related industries. The financials of our Company are not comparable with other players in the industry.

There is no standard valuation methodology or accounting practices in the entertainment and related industry. The financials of one company may not be comparable with the other players in the industry. Valuation in the entertainment industry may presently be high and may not be sustained in the future and also may not be reflective of future valuations of the industry.

7. Our business is dependent on a continuing relationship with our clients/customers.

Our business envisages running of Family Entertainment Centre, production of animation & Live Action Films, resorts operation and web entertainment. Our business is therefore significantly dependent on developing and maintaining relationships with various corporates/customers and we also require cooperation of walking guests for FEC & Resorts, distributors for animation & live action contents, advertisers for television and subscribers for our web entertainment business. Our business will be adversely affected if we are unable to develop and maintain relationships with our clients/customers. The loss of clients/customers may have a material adverse effect on our operations.

8. Our Insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against certain operating risks and this may have a material adverse impact on our business.

We believe that the Insurance coverage maintained, would reasonably cover all normal risks associated with the operation of our business, there can be no assurance that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be met fully, in part or on time. In the event we suffer loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, our results of operations and cash flow may be adversely affected.

9. Our Company depends on its senior management team and the loss of team members may adversely affect its business.

Our Company maintains conducive work environment and provides adequate motivation to perform. However senior management team members or key personnel may chose to leave the organisation in which case operations of our Company may be affected. However in such eventuality we will promptly fill the vacancy through either fresh recruitment or internal promotion.

10. Failure to keep abreast with the latest trends in technology may adversely affect our cost competitiveness and may affect our financial condition adversely.

Our Company cannot assure that it would successfully implement new technology effectively or adapt to emerging industry standards. If our Company is unable to upgrade itself due to technical, financial, legal and/or other reasons to adapt in timely manner to the changing market conditions, its business, financial performance could be adversely affected. Centres

16

11. We have no control over distributors/ producers of the films and our business of film exhibition may be adversely affected if our access to motion pictures is limited or delayed.

We rely on distributors / producers of motion pictures, over whom we have no control, for the films that we exhibit. Major motion picture distributors normally offer and license film to exhibitors, including us, on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, we cannot assure ourselves of a supply of motion pictures by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must compete for our licenses on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Our business depends on maintaining good relations with the distributors and producers so as to obtain licenses on commercially favourable terms and conditions. In the event we are unable to obtain exhibition rights of popular films for exhibition in our Multiplex, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Further, we do not have any long-term arrangements with the distributors and producers for film exhibition.

12. Our film exhibition business is dependent on the popularity of the films we exhibit which may consequently result in variations in our revenues and profits from quarter to quarter.

Our ability to attract patrons to our Multiplex is dependent amongst other factors, on the popularity and appeal of the films we display on our screens. Although the Indian film industry produces a large number of films every year, only a few amongst them become box office hits and consequently if the films we exhibit are not popular, the number of our patrons may decline, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

13. Content piracy would affect the business adversely.

Our Company is into exhibition, Content creation and Content delivery. Piracy of the Content produced by our Company may impact our profit potential as the same may be available illegally through various media such as CD, DVD, web and such other mediums. Piracy of films which we exhibit would affect viewership at our Multiplexes and our box office collections. With several pirated websites offering similar audio video Content which we stream through numtv.com for free or lesser subscription cost may impact the subscription revenue and traffic to our portal. Therefore, individually or aggregately the above factors may affect our business and financials of our Company.

14. Withdrawal of any tax exemptions currently granted to the entertainment industry may significantly affect our operations.

A crucial consideration affecting our decision for the expansion plans are the fiscal incentives such as entertainment tax exemptions available for exhibition of films named in Tamil by the Tamil Nadu Government. In future, if the State Government withdraws such benefits, it may affect our margins due to an increase in ticket prices and reduction in viewership

15. We may be exposed to claims for infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties.

While we believe that, we observe reasonable precaution in developing Content and entering into necessary arrangements with various agencies for production of Content, however, we are not certain in the future, there may any infringement proceedings against us for any infringement of copyright / intellectual property rights. Such proceedings as and when they occur, may materially affect our operational performance and results of operations.

16. Our lenders have charge over our movable and immovable properties in respect of finance availed by us.

We have secured our lenders by creating a charge over our movable and immovable properties In the event we default in repayment of the loans availed by us and any interest thereof, our properties may be forfeited by lenders For further information on the financing and loan agreements along with

17

the total amounts outstanding and the details of the repayment schedule please refer to Annexure-9 of section titled "Financial information" on page 153 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

17. Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing arrangements could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations.

We have entered into agreements with certain banks and financial institutions for short-term and long-term borrowings. Some of these agreements contain restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements that we obtain written consent from lenders prior to issuing new shares, incurring further debt, creating further encumbrances on our assets, effecting any scheme of amalgamation or restructuring, undertaking guarantee obligations, declaring dividends, undertaking new projects or making investments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with these covenants or that we will be able to obtain the consents necessary to take the actions we believe are required to operate and grow our business. Certain of our loans may be called at any time by our lenders pursuant to terms of the relevant agreements. An event of default under any of these loan arrangements, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us.

18. Our Company’s television channel SPLASH TV has not been in operation since November 2004.

Our Company launched India’s first 24 hour "Free To Air" children’s television channel in English namely Splash TV in 1998. Splash TV offered programmes on edutainment, infotainment and entertainment in English. It has produced more than 1000 hours of Content and also has acquired several hours of Content from various production houses around the globe. Our Company has discontinued the broadcast of this channel since November 2004 due to a dispute with VSNL in relation to the fees payable towards uplinking and teleport services. For further details on this dispute/ litigation please refer to the section “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 189 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. However, the Content owned by our Company is currently broadcast on television channels and is also distributed over the web on a revenue sharing as well as on fixed fee basis.

19. Any further issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and sale of our Equity Shares by our Promoter or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Any future equity issuance by us, including in a primary offering, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholding in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoter or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

20. The proceeds from the Offer for Sale will not be available to us.

Since our Issue also consists of an Offer for Sale component, the proceeds received pursuant to the Offer for Sale by the Selling Shareholder, i.e., Anchor Constructions Private Limited shall be remitted back to them and to that extent we will not benefit from the Offer for Sale proceeds of the Issue.

21. Upon completion of the Issue, our Promoter / Promoter Group may continue to retain significant control over us, which will allow them to influence the out come of matters submitted to the shareholders for approval.

Upon completion of this Issue, our Promoter / Promoter Group will continue to own majority of our Equity Shares on a fully diluted basis. As a result, our Promoter / Promoter Group will have the ability to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approvals of significant corporate transactions. Our Promoter / Promoter Group will also be in a position to influence any shareholder action or approval requiring a majority

18

vote, except where it is required by applicable laws or where they abstain from voting. Such a concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control.

22. The Footfalls pattern at our Family Entertainment Centre is sensitive to variations between weekdays and weekends / public holidays.

The Footfall pattern at our FEC is broadly split into three (3) segments which are High Footfall days during weekends and Holidays, Medium Footfall days during vacation time including Summer and festive season and Low Footfall days during the weekdays. Our financial results are affected by the pattern of Footfalls at our Family Entertainment Centre

23. The success of production of Content depends upon artists and technicians such as directors, scriptwriters, music directors, animators and effect specialists and their loss or unavailability could adversely affect our business.

Content production and its commercial success largely depend upon creativity and individual skills of few people like the artists and technicians such as directors, scriptwriters, music directors, animators and effect specialists, which are not readily replaceable. Thus, the entire success of our Content depends upon the creativity of these few peoples. Unavailability of these technicians could delay our projects Content. Further, in case of any dispute with or loss of any of these technicians for any reason in the course of production of Content may adversely effect the completion of our Content related project.

24. Our ability to acquire and develop desired creative Content may be adversely affected by cost overruns.

The success of our Content creation & delivery division would depend largely upon the quality of our Content created at a reasonable cost. Inability to produce and develop high quality Content at competitive cost may adversely affect our financials and business condition.

25. Any failure in our information technology systems could adversely affect our business.

The day-to-day operations of our Family Entertainment Centre, Onshore Resorts, Sports Village, and Content creation & delivery business along with the corporate activities such as processing of financial & accounting information or engaging in normal business activities depends on the functioning of our information technology systems. Although we believe that we have effective backup systems in place, any disruption of an information technology related component could affect our business.

26. Our operations of Family Entertainment Centre, Onshore Resorts and Sports Village are subject to hazards such as theft and other risks, and could expose us to liabilities, loss in income and increased expenses.

Our operations of running Family Entertainment Centre, Onshore Resort and Sports Village are subject to hazards inherent in our services, such as risks of theft, vandalism, work accidents, fire or explosion, including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, severe loss and damage to and destruction of property and environment. Some of such incidents, which may or may not be caused because of negligence or fault of ours, could also result in imposition of civil or criminal penalties on us. In addition, such events could affect our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations.

27. Accidents in our Family Entertainment Centre, Onshore Resort and Sports village may lead to public liability consequences. Further, the value of our brand, and our revenue could be diminished if we are associated with negative publicity.

19

Our business is dependent on the trust our customers have in the quality of our service. Any negative publicity regarding our Company, including those arising from a drop in quality of service at our FEC, Onshore Resort and Sports Village, mishaps at our FEC, Onshore Resort and Sports Village, or any other unforeseen events could adversely affect our reputation and our results from operations. We believe that, we have in place a system of effective safety regulations and disaster management in case of any fire outbreaks or other accidents at all our premises. However, in the event of any accident, we and our directors and key managerial employees may be exposed to civil, criminal, and tortuous liabilities.

28. Disruptions or lack of basic infrastructure such as our electricity, water supply and transport could adversely affect our operations.

Any disruption in basic infrastructure such as supply of electricity, water and transportation could affect the operations of our FEC, Onsore Resort and Sports Village, the services to our guests and increase in our operating costs, and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

29. We undertake risks in the development of our Family Entertainment Centre, Onshore Resort and Studio Floors.

We intend to contract with third-party contractors to construct additional rooms at our Onshore Resort, addition of new screens, development of Shopping Complex and Studio floors for Content production and, accordingly their compliance with our construction schedules and budgets is not fully under our control. Our construction activities are also subject to risks relating to:

• the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary governmental and local regulatory permits and authorizations; • construction costs or delays may exceed original estimates which could make the development uneconomical or unprofitable; • the possibility of fines and penalties being imposed on us due to non-compliance of statutory norms by the contractor; and

Any of the above risks, should they occur, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

30. We have incurred losses in F.Y.2005-06 & F.Y. 2006-07

We have incurred losses of Rs.9.12 Lakhs in F.Y. 2005-06 as per our restated financial statements. Such loss was attributed to high provision for deferred tax amounting to Rs. 58.30 Lakhs. However, the operations of our Company were in fact profitable. Further, we have incurred losses of Rs.180.19 Lakhs in F.Y 2006-07 and the reason for such loss is attributed to sale of our immovable property at a loss of Rs. 298.03 Lakhs as the property was affected by Tsunami in the year 2004. Considering the fact this loss was extraordinary in nature our core operations were profitable during the F.Y. 2006- 07.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

38. Global recession and market conditions could cause our business to suffer.

The developed economies of the world viz. US, Europe, Japan and other are on the verge of a major recession which is affecting the economic condition and markets of not only these economies but also the economies of the emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, India and China. General business and consumer sentiment has been adversely affected due to the global slowdown and there can be assurance whether these developed economies will see good economic growth in the near future. Consequently, this has also affected the global stock and commodity markets.

39. A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer.

Our performance and growth is directly related to the performance of the Indian economy. The performance of the Indian Economy is dependent among other things on the interest rate, political and regulatory actions, liberalization policies, commodity and energy prices etc. A change in any of the factors would affect the growth prospects of the Indian economy, which may in turn adversely impact our results of operations, and consequently the price of our Equity Shares.

40. Terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence or war involving India and other countries could adversely affect our business and the Indian financial markets.

Public places like theatres, resorts, hotel, malls could and have in the past been targets for terrorist attacks and rioting. Any violence in public places could cause damage to life and property, and also impact customer sentiment and their willingness to visit such places, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse impact on our business and the price of our Equity Shares.

41. The price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price or at all.

Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. The Issue Price of our Equity Shares may bear no relationship to the market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue. The market price of the Equity Shares after this Issue may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, our results of operations and performance, subsequent corporate actions taken by us, performance of our competitors, market conditions specific to the entertainment industry, and the market perception about investments in the film exhibition industry.

42. You will not be able to sell or transfer any of our Equity Shares till such time until the listing of our Equity Shares.

Under the SEBI DIP Guidelines, we are permitted to allot Equity Shares within fifteen (15) days of the closure of the Public Issue.

credited to your demat account and listing and trading permissions are received from the Stock Exchanges There can be no assurances that the Equity Shares allotted to you pursuant to this Issue would be credited to your respective demat accounts, or that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence within the specified time period.

43. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an independent agency may have a material impact on our operations.

Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on our business and future financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures, and the price of our Equity Shares.

44. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our business to suffer.

India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, Tsunami, floods and droughts in the past few years. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their impact on the Indian economy. For example, in December 2004, Southeast Asia, including the eastern coast of India, experienced a massive tsunami and in October 2005, the State of Jammu and Kashmir experienced an earthquake, both these events caused significant loss of life and property damage. Unforeseen circumstances, such as prolonged spells of below normal rainfall and other natural calamities, could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, especially on the rural areas, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and the price of our Equity Shares.

45. Future sales of our Equity Shares may negatively affect our Equity Share price.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Equity Shares in the public market, or even the potential for such sales, could adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital. All of the shares sold in this offering, will be freely tradable without restriction. The Equity Shares owned by our Promoters are subject to lock-in as detailed under the section titled "Capital Structure" beginning on page no. 42 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We cannot assure you that they will retain ownership of our Equity Shares after the lock-in period following this offering. Sales or distributions by our Promoters or other shareholders of substantial amounts of our Equity Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Equity Shares.

46. The Equity markets and prices of Equity Shares are generally highly volatile.

The prices of our Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several factors including: • Volatility in Indian and global securities market; • Our operations performance & financial results; • Performance of our competitors and perception in the Indian market about the entertainment sector; • Changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts; • Significant development in India’s economics liberalization and de-regulation policies; and • Significant development in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations

THE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Indian Entertainment Industry

The Indian Entertainment and Media (E&M) industry is poised to grow at 18% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach Rs.1 trillion by 2011 from its present size of Rs.437 billion, according to the 2007 annual edition of the FICCI - PricewaterhouseCoopers report Indian Entertainment and Media Industry – A Growth Story Unfolds. This coupled with technological advancements, policy initiatives taken by the Indian Government that are encouraging the inflow of investment and initiative by private media companies, will prove to be the key drivers for the entertainment and media industry. The industry has been forecast to outperform the economic growth in each year, till 2011. [ Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers Annual Report on Indian Entertainment and Media Industry 2007 ]

A) Family Entertainment Centre

1. Multiplex Development

Buoyed by positive regulatory changes, booming consumerism and multiple revenue streams, the nation’s multiplex industry is set for an unprecedented boom. So much so that the number of screens alone is expected to record a three-fold jump from 500 now to over 1500 by the fiscal 2010. This will drive the industry growth at 62 per cent CAGR over the same period to Rs 4,000 Cr, thus contributing 28 percent of the total theatrical sales for the film industry (Source: Systematix Institutional Research)

Due to lower entertainment tax in Tamil Nadu (no e-tax on Tamil content) and Andhra Pradesh (15% tax on Telugu content), there has been large-scale investment in cinema infrastructure in these two states. The two states account for 41% of total theatres in the country.

Among the major factors driving the growth of multiplex industry are also favorable demographic changes, retail boom and the emergence of a mall culture. For instance, a number of mall developers are considering movies/theatres and entertainment outlets as the key elements attracting Footfalls to the malls, and thus multiplexes are fast emerging as one of the key anchor tenants for most organized retail outlets in India.

2. Mall Development

India has witnessed the emergence of a mall culture and development of malls over the past few years. Significant investments have been channelized into development of organized retail outlets.

Increasingly, a number of mall developers are considering movies/theaters and entertainment outlets like food courts, gaming zones, shopping arcade etc as the key elements attracting Footfalls to the malls. This is being reflected in the attractive rental rates offered to such outlets, in comparison to other categories of outlets in malls. As a result, Multiplexes are fast emerging as one of the key anchor tenants for most organized retail outlets in India.

B) Hospitality- Resort

26

Hospitality is all about offering warmth to someone who looks for help at a strange or unfriendly place. It refers to the process of receiving and entertaining a guest with goodwill. Hospitality in the commercial context refers to the activity of hotels, restaurants, catering, inn, resorts or clubs who make a vocation of treating tourists.

Today hospitality sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. It is expected to grow at the rate of 8% between 2007 to 2016 (Source : The Travel and Tourism Economic Research 2006).Nowadays the travel and tourism industry is also included in hospitality sector. The boom in travel and tourism has led to the further development of hospitality industry.

C) Sports Club Development

From a recreational activity to a full-fledged career option, sports in India have evolved into a viable alternative. Therefore enormous emphasis is laid on building a sports club providing various facilities and infrastructure such as open ground for promotion of out door sports like cricket, football, volleyball, basketball etc., and rooms/halls for indoor games like carom, gymnasium, chess, table tennis etc.

D) Content Creation & Delivery

Animation Industry

With global players like Walt Disney, Imax, and Warner Bros. signing contracts with Indian animation companies for outsourcing and co-production, it is expected that the animation industry in India could touch Rs38 billion by 2009. In the next five years a 27% CAGR is expected. The cost of half an hour of animation work in India averages US$60,000. In the US and Canada the same work costs approx. US$400,000.

(Source: FICCI FRAMES, 2008)

Local animation studios are framing content mostly based on mythology. However, a few studios have ventured into animated films, based on fiction ( The Sultan, produced by Adlabs and Ocher Studios).

Live Action Films

The Indian film industry has been one of the oldest segments of the Indian entertainment and media industry. The Indian film industry comprises of a cluster of regional film industries, like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, etc. This makes it one of the most complex and fragmented national film industries in the world. The Indian film industry has been performing exceedingly well in the past four years, having grown by 17% in the period 2004-2007. In 2007 the Indian film industry registered a growth of 14% over the previous year, marginally lower than the forecasted growth of 15%. On an overall basis, the Indian film industry stood at Rs. 96 billion in 2007, up from Rs. 85 billion in 2006. (Source: The Indian Entertainment and Media Industry Sustaining Growth, FICCI Price Waterhouse Coopers, 2008)

E) Web Entertainment

Our Company has a presence on the web entertainment platform through its twentyfour (24) hour live online multilingual entertainment portal URL http://www.numtv.com , covering over thirty (30) television channels, radio channels, films, print, stage shows and events both live and recorded.

F) Television Entertainment

The Indian television market is on the threshold of a major technological change. New distribution technologies – such as digital cable, DTH are planning to hit the market soon and broadcasters and cable operators are voluntarily opting for addressable cable systems. In fact, all spheres of the industry – content, broadcasting, distribution and regulation – are witnessing technological changes. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), which was appointed as the regulator for the industry in 2004, has already begun putting major policy framework in place.

The global television network market is estimated to be $204 billion in 2009, growing at a compound annual rate of 6 percent from 2004. Latin America is projected to be the fastest-growing market, with a compound annual increase of 8 percent.

Illustration of Book Building and Price Discovery Process (Investors should note that this example is solely for illustration purpose and is not specific to the Issue)

Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assume a price band of Rs. 20 to Rs. 24 per share with issue size of Rs. 3,000 equity shares and five bids are received from bidders. Out of which one bidder has bid for 500 shares at Rs. 24 per share while another bid for 1,500 shares at Rs. 22 per share. A graphical representation of the consolidated demand and price would be made available at the bidding centres during the bidding period. The illustrative book as shown below shows the demand for the shares of our company at various prices and is collated from bids from various investors.

Bid Quantity Bid Price (Rs.) Cumulative Quantity Subscription

38

Bid Quantity Bid Price (Rs.) Cumulative Quantity Subscription

500 24 500 16.67% 1000 23 1500 50.00% 1500 22 3000 100.00% 2000 21 5000 166.67% 2500 20 7500 250.00%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is able to issue the desired number of shares is the price at which the book cuts off i.e. Rs. 22 in the above example. The issuer, in consultation with the BRLM, will finalize the issue price at or below such cut off price i.e. at or below Rs. 22. All bids at or above this issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for allocation in the respective categories.

Steps to be taken by the Bidders for bidding:

 Check eligibility for bidding (please refer to the section “Issue Procedure – Who Can Bid” on page no. 232 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus;  Bidder necessarily needs to have a demat account; and  Ensure that the Bid-cum-Application Form/ASBA Form is duly completed as per instructions given in the Red Herring Prospectus and in the Bid-cum-Application Form / ASBA Form.

Details of Utilization of Issue Proceeds

I. Expansion of the Family Entertainment Centre

We propose to expand our existing Family Entertainment Centre located at the scenic East Coast Road near Chennai and the cost for expansion is estimated as below: (Rs. inLakhs) No. Particulars Amount A Setting up of five (5) new screens to the existing FEC 1979.06 B Setting up of Convention Centre 1050.12 C Shopping Mall Expansion 302.96 TOTAL (A) 3332.14

A) Addition of five (5) new screens to the existing FEC: Our Company has felt the dearth of high quality multiplex theatres for the release of new movies due to the immense love for movies In Tamil Nadu by the people where the movies are considered a necessity rather than a mode of entertainment.

Therefore, in addition to the existing ten (10) screens with a seating capacity of 1583 seats, an additional five (5) screens are proposed to be added with each seating capacity of 230 seats at the "e.Joy" taking the total theatres to fifteen (15) and seating capacity at the multiplex to 2733. Two (2) of the screens out of five (5) would be set up with "Box" facility enhancing the comfort feel of the theatre. This makes the Multiplex amongst the single largest in India in terms of number of screens at a single location.

Setting up of five (5) new screens would require additional car parking space as compared to the existing car parking space available for about 1000 cars. Therefore, our Company also proposes to set up car parking facility with a capacity for parking for around 1500 cars taking the total car parking space for around 2500 cars at “e.joy”.

55

The Indian Entertainment Industry - An Overview

The Entertainment and Media (E&M) industry is now in a phase of steady growth ably supported by the stable economic growth. With no surprises, the performance of the Indian E&M industry has surpassed the performance of the Indian economy as well as most other industries in 2007. In 2007, the E&M industry recorded a growth of 17% over the previous year, higher than the forecasted growth of 15% projected in the previous year. The industry reached an estimated size of Rs. 513 billion in 2007, up from Rs. 438 billion in 2006. In the last four years 2004-2007, the industry recorded a cumulative growth of 19% on an overall basis, as tabulated below.

The Past and the Future:

Over the past decade, India has been the second fastest growing economy in the world. In 2004, it grew by 8.2 percent, breaching the psychological 8 percent barrier for the first time. In terms of purchasing power parity, it is already the fourth largest economy in the world. Most major global companies are of the opinion that it will become a key market in the years to come. Consistent commitment to economic reform over the last decade has spurred the steady growth of the Indian economy. The emphasis on creating an enabling environment for investment and the inherent potential of the Indian economy have together pushed India's annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate beyond 8 percent.

While India's GDP ranks eleventh in the world in absolute terms, it ranks among the top five economies of the world when assessed in terms of purchasing power parity. It is the growing consuming class with the proclivity to spend that will drive the growth of the Indian entertainment industry. Adding to this positive outlook is the fact that the average Indian is getting younger and is showing a greater propensity to indulge and entertain himself.

The Indian Entertainment and Media (E&M) industry is poised to grow at 18% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach Rs.1 trillion by 2011 from its present size of Rs.437 billion, according to the 2007 annual edition of the FICCI - PricewaterhouseCoopers report Indian Entertainment and Media Industry – A Growth Story Unfolds. This coupled with technological advancements, policy initiatives taken by the Indian Government that are encouraging the inflow of investment and initiative by private media companies, will prove to be the key drivers for the entertainment and media industry. The industry has been forecast to outperform the economic growth in each year, till 2011. [ Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers Annual Report on Indian Entertainment and Media Industry 2007 ]

82

As the Indian economy continues growing, the Indian middle class will also expand significantly. Compared to other nations, the 3000 lakhs strong Indian middle class allocates a higher percentage of its monthly expenditure on entertainment. The increasing consumerism of middle-class India is seen from the sharp growth in the sales for various products like automobiles, color television sets and mobile phones and the burgeoning increase in credit cards and personal loans. Rising income levels and consumerism bred from the country’s strong economic growth are creating a growing demand for entertainment.

The Indian Entertainment and Media Industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. It is rising on the back of economic growth and rising income levels that India has been experiencing in the past decade, India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In terms of purchasing power parity, it is already the fourth largest economy in the world. An added boost to the entertainment and media industry in India is from the demographic point of view where the consumer spending is rising due to increasing disposable incomes on account of sustained growth in income levels and reduction of personal income tax over the last decade.

Moreover, there are over 20 million Indians living abroad who are increasingly opting for India-oriented entertainment, as the availability of such content increases. Globally, a clutch of international films with Indian content, themes and performers are receiving wide visibility and acclaim. This broad acceptance of Indian entertainment is likely to give a further fillip to the expansion of this industry. To be able to appreciate the contours of this industry, it would be useful to take a closer look at the key drivers of the entertainment sector.

Further, the following classification can be made for Mayajaal Entertainment Limited within the Indian Entertainment Industry.

A) Family Entertainment Centre

1. Multiplex Development

Though the number of admissions is the highest in the world, when compared to the number of screens available for India’s population, the average is relatively low as compared with other countries. With around 12,900 theatres in the country that are 95% single-screen, the average screen density works out to be only 12 screens per 10 lakh population. In contrast, the US average is about 117 screens (per 10 lakh population) and the UK average is 30 screens (per 10 lakh population). Even if a gap of just 8 screen average (as per the UNESCO Report of 2001, quoted in the CII-KPMG Report 2005) is considered, there is a potential demand of about 8,000 additional screens in the country.

83

Further, about 60 percent of the theatres in the country are situated in the four Indian southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and servicing 22% of the Indian population. Andhra Pradesh has more than 2,800 cinema halls compared to 900 in and 1,100 in . In 2004, there were around 250 Hindi films but 485 South Indian films.

The major regional film industries are Tamil and Telugu, which together earn around INR 15 billion, followed by Malayalam, Bengali and Punjabi.

Most of the theatres in India are single-screen theatres and not the highest quality, which has resulted in lower occupancy rates and lower ticket prices. This provided an opportunity for companies to take over such theatres on lease/contract basis (most of such theatres are owned by individuals who are running into losses and hence are willing to enter into such contracts) for up- gradation or conversion to multiplexes. Such up-gradation and conversions to multiplexes is resulting in higher occupancy rates and thereby the opportunity for exhibitors to charge higher ticket prices. This growth of the multiplexes has resulted in the average ticket prices to rise by more than five (5) times. Further, average occupancy levels have also steadily risen resulting in higher box office collections. Such companies also retain the right to monitor the ticket collections and having retained a share are able to recover their investments faster than if they opted to set-up a new theatre.

The conversion of standalone, poorly maintained single-screen theatres to sophisticated multi screen theatres, in addition to the new multiplexes within or around shopping malls and family entertainment centres, is an emerging trend in urban India today. Multiplexes, though a recent urban phenomenon, have shown the way forward in increasing domestic theatrical revenues. The reasons for their success are: -

84

• They enjoy an average of 50-60 percent occupancy per screen as opposed to 30-35 percent of standalone theatres

• The customer is willing to pay more for the enhanced viewing experience

• The government has accorded various tax rebates for multiplexes. The entertainment taxes in South India are amongst the lowest. Entertainment tax is levied on various modes of entertainment such as on film tickets, cable television, live entertainment etc. The rates of entertainment tax payable by theatre owners vary form 0 percent in Andhra Pradesh to 130 percent in Assam. India has one of the highest rates of entertainment tax across the globe. Recently, some states have granted exemption from entertainment tax to multiplexes. Due to lower entertainment tax in Tamil Nadu (no e-tax on Tamil content) and Andhra Pradesh (15% tax on Telugu content), there has been large-scale investment in cinema infrastructure in these two states. The two states account for 41% of total theatres in the country.

• They increase Footfalls in shopping malls by 40-50 percent. As a result, several major malls have multiplexes in or near them. The present retail boom has led to a significant rise in the number of multiplexes.

The advent of multiplex chains is expected to usher in a new era of film exhibition, apart from just an enhanced viewing experience. Some of the expected changes are:

• Dedicated marketing teams to leverage state-of-the-art technology to address the programming needs of exhibitors

• Marketing team to work out Content-to-customer matches on the basis of consumer surveys and other metrics.

• Developing synergistic marketing strategies in conjunction with Content producers, broadcasters, music companies, etc.

Offering better terms to producers based on

• Presence across multiple locations • Significantly higher transparency • The strength of their balance sheet

These activities of the multiplexes could to lead to a possible shakeout and consolidation among the standalone theatres.

Buoyed by positive regulatory changes, booming consumerism and multiple revenue stream, the nation’s multiplex industry is set for an unprecedented boom. So much so that the number of screens alone is expected to record a three-fold jump from 500 now to over 1500 by the fiscal 2010. This will drive the industry growth at 62 per cent CAGR over the same period to Rs 4,000 Cr, thus contributing 28 percent of the total theatrical sales for the film industry (Source: Report by Systematix Institutional Research)

2. Mall Development

India has witnessed the emergence of a mall culture and development of malls over the past few years. Significant investments have been channelized into development of organized retail outlets.

85

Increasingly, a number of mall developers are considering Movies/Theaters and Entertainment outlets like food courts, gaming zones, shopping arcade etc as the key elements attracting footfalls to the malls. This is being reflected in the attractive rental rates offered to such outlets, in comparison to other categories of outlets in malls. As a result, Multiplexes are fast emerging as one of the key anchor tenants for most organized retail outlets in India.

Future direction: Positives

• AT Kearney has estimated India’s total retail market at US$ 202.6 billion, which is expected to grow at a compounded 30 per cent over the next five years. (Source: AT Kearney)

• With the organized retail segment growing at the rate of 25-30 per cent per annum, revenues from the sector are expected to triple from the current US$ 7.7 billion to US$ 24 billion by 2010.

• The share of modern retail is likely to grow from its current 2 per cent to 15-20 percent over the next decade

• Over next two years India will see several Indian retail businesses attaining a critical mass as growth in the industry picks up momentum driven by two key factors: – Availability of quality real estate and mall management practices – Consumer preference for shopping in new environments

Retail and real estate compliment each other. The current growth trends in Indian retail market present large prospects in the retail real estate segment. Indian retail enjoys the status of representing one of the 10 largest retail markets in the world. If the progress forecasted for retail sector in India keeps moving like this, then, by the end of 2008, a supply of 66 million sq ft. of new retail space will be developed in the eight largest Indian cities.

(Source : AT Kearney, Forrester Research, KPMG-FICCI Report)

Outlined below is the future scenario of retail sector in India

Source: http://www.indianrealtynews.com/real-estate-trends/a-view-on-mall-development-in- india.html

86

Chief hosting spots to see the major retail development are NCR, Mumbai, , , Hyderabad, and Chennai. However, the mall culture is likely to hit 60 more cities. In Chennai, an additional retail space of 81 lakh square feet spread over 20 malls has been slated for inauguration in the next three years as against the existing three malls spread across 8 lakh square feet. Retailers are targeting it on the growing cosmopolitan population of our city. International brands such as Body Shop will set foot in Chennai in the near future.

B) Hospitality- Resort

Hospitality is all about offering warmth to someone who looks for help at a strange or unfriendly place. It refers to the process of receiving and entertaining a guest with goodwill. Hospitality in the commercial context refers to the activity of hotels, restaurants, catering, inn, resorts or clubs who make a vocation of treating tourists.

Helped with unique efforts by government and all other stakeholders, including hotel owners, resort managers, tour and travel operators and employees who work in the sector, Indian hospitality industry has gained a level of acceptance world over. It has yet to go miles for recognition as a world leader of hospitality. Many take Indian hospitality service not for its quality of service but India being a cheap destination for leisure tourism.

With unlimited tourism and untapped business prospects, in the coming years Indian hospitality is seeing green pastures of growth. Availability of qualified human resources and untapped geographical resources give great prospects to the hospitality industry. The number of tourists coming to India is growing year after year. Likewise, internal tourism is another area with great potentials.

Hospitality is about serving the guests to provide them with "feel-good-effect". "Athithi devo bhavha" (Guest is God) has been one of central tenets of Indian culture since times immemorial. In India, the guest is treated with utmost warmth and respect and is provided the best services.

Today hospitality sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. It is expected to grow at the rate of 8% between 2007 and 2016 (Source : The Travel and Tourism Economic Research 2006).Nowadays the travel and tourism industry is also included in hospitality sector. The boom in travel and tourism has led to the further development of hospitality industry.

India occupies forty-sixth position among the sixty tourist destinations in the world. A flourishing economy helped boost demand for the industry. To encourage the tourism sector, the government is planning to propose a conditional 10-year tax holiday for all tourism projects in the country. Companies will enjoy full tax exemption up to 50% of profits, but will qualify for tax benefits for the remaining amount only if they re-invest it in tourism projects. The Centre and States are also working out a PPP (Public-Private-Partnership) model to increase hotel capacity. Efforts to diversify tourist attractions by offering new products such as wellness tourism, medical tourism and golf tourism are expected to have a positive effect on both foreign tourist arrivals and domestic tourism.

According to the 2002 estimates of the World Tourism Organization (WTO), international tourist inflow in India by 2020 would be 10 million, which means the tourist influx has to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% for the next 14 years. This makes the country one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world second only to China. As of FY08, the increase in the tourist arrivals is well inline with the WTO estimates.

India accounts for 0.5% of world tourism. Strong GDP growth, improving infrastructure, confidence in the country's economic prospects, open sky policy and the 'Incredible India' campaign has improved the outlook for India. This positive outlook would increase the tourist arrival in the country and the hotel industry is expected to be the major beneficiary. Even domestic tourism is gaining momentum. Rising disposable incomes, cheaper airfares and better connectivity would continue to increase the demand for rooms.

87

The Planning Commission's High Level Group on services sector has pegged the room shortage in the country at 150,000 rooms by 2010, out of which more than 100,000 will be in the budget category. Not only the Indian hotel majors, but even international players have lined up huge capex plans. Investments of US$ 11 bn over the next 2 years are expected to be earmarked for the hotel industry in India. Further, new segments like budget hotels, service apartments and management contracts are witnessing increasing interest

Though the government is taking necessary steps, many more things need to be done to improve the infrastructure.

The number of tourists visiting India is estimated to touch the figure of 4.4 million. With this huge figure, India is fast becoming the hottest tourist destination in the region. The visitors include business travelers, leisure travelers and persons of Indian origin with foreign passports. Growth is expected to continue over the next few years. It is being predicted that India may achieve an average growth of 12% per annum in tourism for many years to come. Apart from international tourists, the domestic tourist market, including business and leisure travelers, is also flourishing. This market is estimated at around 300 millions tourists per year. The industry also expects a boom in spiritual and medical tourism in the domestic sector at a growth rate of 10% to 15% over the next few years. Growth in tourism will definitely lead to a boom in hotels and restaurants. Though there is a shortage of rooms at present, it is going to be over soon enough, as top international players are heading towards India to establish themselves here. A steady growth of about 10% in new hotel projects is expected for the next few years.

For the past few years, the growth in India’s Hospitality industry has been fuelled by a favorable economic and political situation. The GDP growth averaged 7.6 per cent per annum during the Tenth Five year Plan (2002-03 – 2006-07) which is the fastest increase in any Five Year Plan period so far. [Source: Report on “Mid year review 2007-08” - Ministry of Finance]

Tourism has rapidly emerged as a significant segment of the Indian economy. With active government participation, higher disposable incomes of the population, better positioning of India as an international tourist destination and synergized efforts of all industries towards it, the outlook for

88

tourism in India is expected to remain buoyant in the long term. According to estimates of the World Travel & Trade Council (WTTC) , Indian tourism demand will grow at 8.8% from 2004-13. [Source: Report on “Progress and Priorities” World Travel & Trade Council]

C) Sports Club Development

Recreation is currently one of the most thrilling sectors in India. The industry is still at an early stage of development. But, with the increasing entry of some of the more established Indian entrepreneurs and corporate housed, the industry could be worth USD 1.06 billion per annum within the next 2 - 3 years. The recreation industry is already worth USD 213 million per annum. Industry experts agree that the sector has a great potential. Leisure consultants are experiencing a boom in demand for their services. Cultural attitudes within India are changing. The increasing incidence of Cable TV is exposing the population to a wider range of recreation pursuits. And the idea of an annual family holiday to the home village is being overtaken by more frequent weekend visits to recreation facilities within and around the cities.

The current size of the consumer market for the recreation and amusement sector is estimated at 25-30 million. This reflects a middle upper class with a monthly disposable income in excess of USD 106. But with a population of 1 billion, 30% of which is under 20 years, and economic growth set to continue at 6% per annum, the number of consumers can only increase. The sector is developing throughout India but the major projects are planned in the metropolitan cities, their suburbs and other major cities in western and northern India. The major cities in southern states like Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mysore, Cochin and Tiruvananthapuram are also showing increased activity. However, projects in eastern India are limited to Kolkata in and Bhubneshwar in Orissa.

From a recreational activity to a full-fledged career option, sports in India have evolved into a viable alternative. Therefore enormous emphasis is laid on building a Sports Club providing various facilities and infrastructure such as open ground for promotion of out door sports like cricket, football, volleyball, basket ball etc and rooms/halls for indoor games like carom, gymnasium, chess, table tennis etc.

D) Content Creation & Delivery

Animation Industry

With global players like Walt Disney, Imax, and Warner Bros. signing contracts with Indian animation companies for outsourcing and co-production, it is expected that the animation industry in India could touch Rs38bn by 2009. In the next five years a 27% CAGR is expected. The cost of half an hour of animation work in India averages US$60,000. In the US and Canada the same work costs approx. US$400,000.

(Source: FICCI FRAMES, 2008)

Local animation studios are framing Content mostly based on mythology. However, a few studios have ventured into animated films, based on fiction ( The Sultan, produced by Adlabs and Ocher Studios).

The Indian animation industry is set to grow to US$ 993.38 million from US$ 283.82 million by 2009. Its revenues are expected to grow two fold to nearly US$ 1.5 billion by 2010. Though the Indian animation market is presently merely around 1 per cent of the global market of the US$ 1,125 billion, it is projected to grow about 35 per cent in the next few years. (Source: Indian Brand Equity Foundation 28 th July, 2008) India is increasing presenting itself as a favorable destination for the animation industry, particularly in post-production and 3D content development activity. As of today, India has about 200 animation, 40 VFX and 35 game development studios.

Currently, activities at the production stage form a major portion of outsourcing, with postproduction accounting for a small share. The share of post-production activities is expected to increase in future. The entertainment sector contributes as much as 68 percent of the total Indian animation market (from the developers' perspective). In entertainment, the share of fully animated movies is expected to increase significantly, from 15 percent in 2005 to 28 percent by 2009. (Source: NASSCOM study on animation)

In the last decade we have been witnessing an increasing participation from the Indian IT industry in the burgeoning media and entertainment sectors, which are becoming significant consumers of technology. From large global motion picture companies and animation shops outsourcing their sophisticated work to India, to leading Indian software organizations creating gaming solutions for mobile phones, to an increasing use of special effects solutions by premier film production firms in the country—the Indian animation market is set to take off.

Services Off shored to India

In the initial stages, the Indian animation industry provided support services in 2D post-production such as cleaning-up, in-betweening and scanning. These were typically labor-intensive services, with minimal need for domain knowledge or highly specialized skill-sets. However, over the years, the industry has graduated to providing higher-end, skill-based services, especially in 3D animation. The shift from 2D to 3D services has been distinct, and has facilitated better penetration into the global market. The table below lists services offshored to India:

Segments Services 2-D services Creative Development (rarely offshored), Shot layout/Storyboarding (rarely

From the perspective of developers, the worldwide gaming content market was estimated to be around US$ 7 billion in 2006. The segment is expected to notch up a CAGR of 17 percent, to achieve a turnover of US$ 13 billion during the 2006-2010 period. Within the gaming segment, it will be mobile and online gaming that will create the maximum impact, recording CAGRs of around 30 and 25 percent respectively. (Source: NASSCOM study on animation)

Government support for the Animation industry: the crucial helping hand

While a strong case for building relevant manpower exists for the Animation and gaming industry in India, there is an equally strong need for Government intervention, to make the market more robust and globally competitive.

The Indian Government will need to take a leaf out of the book of nations such as France, Singapore, China, Korea, Canada and Philippines, where the Government introduced policies that greatly benefited the broadcast (including animation) industries.

The Government can participate in making the Indian Animation industry successful by offering assistance in manpower development, infrastructure provisioning, direct and indirect investments and promoting industry recognition. Broadcasting policy regulations encouraging the growth in the production and use of local content will further catalyze the growth of the domestic Animation industry.

In this way, the Animation industry could be driven to perform at its optimum and emerge as a sunrise segment for the Indian IT-BPO sector.According to NASSCOM, the global animation market was estimated to be around $59 b in 2006 and is expected to grow by 8% per annum to reach $80 b by 2010. Further, the association estimates a 35% growth rate for animation outsourcing to India going forward. Currently, there are over 300 India-based vendors together in the animation and gaming segment. Over the last few years, vendors have developed capabilities to start co-production and have also entered the original content creation space. With traction in collaborative arrangements, lot more action is expected in the animation outsourcing space .

India’s animation studios are catering to the requirements of various end user segments such as feature films, TV programs, advertisements/commercials and computer games. Animation solutions

91

are also finding a place in niches such as film titling, special effects, Web entertainment programs; TV broadcast graphics, 3D modeling and background development. In each of these areas the extent or scope of services for an animation production company include offering services in animation production services, co-production and content creation.

India is home to a financially and technically strong film industry. The sector is getting more versatile day by day and is already making its mark around the globe. Animation will provide a whole new stage for Indian film producers searching for new avenues in the highly competitive market. Producers will not only undertake more such investments but also showcase Indian creativity around the world.

Live Action Films

The Indian film industry has been one of the oldest segments of the Indian entertainment and media industry. The Indian film industry comprises of a cluster of regional film industries, like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, etc. This makes it one of the most complex and fragmented national film industries in the world. The Indian film industry has been performing exceedingly well in the past four years, having grown by 17% in the period 2004-2007.

The major regional film industries are Tamil and Telugu, followed by Malayalam, Bengali and Punjabi film industry. The average cost of production of a regional film, keeping in view, its limited market (compared to a Hindi film) and lower revenue potential, is only a fraction of that of a mainstream Bollywood film. With increased viewer exposure to a plethora of entertainment options on satellite television, the number of regional films produced annually has seen a decline from around 800, three years ago, to around 650 currently.

South India churns out more reels a year than Bollywood and its north and West Indian cousins put together. On an average, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam studios produce between 500 and 550 films a year, which also have the highest number of theatres in India, with the count being more than 6200. About 65 per cent of the theatres in the country are situated in the four Indian southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka servicing 22 per cent of the Indian population.

Telugu: Andhra Pradesh has the highest number of theatres in the country at over 2,800. On an average, the Telugu film industry churns out more than 200 films a year in the big, medium and small budget categories. Small budget movies account for approximately half the total productions. Big films featuring stars have budgets in the range approximating Rs 15 to 20 crore. Medium budget films range between Rs 5 crore and Rs 7 crore, and the small budget films are made at about Rs 1.5 crore.

Tamil: The second biggest film industry in the South India, the Tamil film industry churns out approximately 150 films a year. After Bollywood, Tamil films have always dominated the overseas market. The presence of a large number of Tamilians in South East Asia (Malaysia, Singapore etc) and South Africa, besides Sri Lanka, has always offered an assured market for Tamil films overseas. The market for Tamil films also exist in US and UK, driven more by long settled Tamil population and Canada, which is a stronghold of Sri Lankan Tamils.

Kannada: The Kannad film industry is much smaller, compared with the neighboring Telugu and Tamil industries, with an average of 100 films produced every year.

Malayalam: The Malayalam industry rolls out between 70 and 90 films a year. A large population of Keralites settled in the Gulf have always offered the industry a ready overseas market.

Future Outlook

The Indian film industry is projected to grow by 13% over the next five years, reaching to Rs. 176 billion in 2012 from the present Rs. 96 billion in 2007, nearly double its present size. The relative shares of the film industry are expected to shift marginally from the traditional revenues to the new emerging revenues. The share of the domestic box office is projected to reduce to 70% in 2012, primarily in favour of overseas and ancillary revenues.

BUSINESS PROCESS FOR ANIMATION FILMS

The Process carried out to produce 2D and 3D Animation Films is explained herein below: 1. Pre-Production

This is the stage that conceives an idea and sees it through the various initial stages of its development. The process starts with a concept developed into a story. After this comes the screenplay. Based on the script or background description, a concept drawing is done, which becomes the base for the storyboard. Once the latter is ready, background layout and finally the background art is completed. Costume, appearance, models and props are designed, while simultaneously a storyboard of angles, shots, dialogues and sound is prepared. The last process that takes place in the pre production studio is that of animatics, which involves a basic coordination between frames and background voice, etc.

2. Motion Capture Technology

Optical motion capture involves tracing and capturing the movements of an object and feeding it to a system generated 3D model, thus animating it. Our motion capture set up is equipped with high- speed falcon cameras which emit infrared rays that are reflected off special scotch brite markers fitted on to the object's body. The reflected data is read by the cameras at speeds ranging from 60 to 240 frames per second. The plant has 20ft X 20 ft of effective capturing volume. Our expert technicians then work on the collected data and give out the final output in a format that is convenient for usage by software packages like 3DS max, Maya and Soft image.

3. 2D Animation

Traditional 2D animation involves drawing out every detail of an action into separate cell sheets, and then running them together at a very high speed so that an illusion of motion is created on screen. The 2D animation studio, boasts of state-of-the-art equipment that includes sophisticated hardware & software from the leading vendors and a digital ink and paint facility. The skilled creative team includes; traditional artists, key animators, background designers, ink and paint experts, computer professionals, design and model professionals, visualizers and compositors - a team that is fully equipped to turn out high quality movies, home videos and ad films.

4. 3D Animation

3 dimensional animation involves three specific stages: modeling, texturing and animation. The process starts with "modeling" or building the characters and sets that go into the movie. In the next stage which is "texturing,” life-giving touches like color, texture etc. are added to the character model. The last stage is animation, where movement is introduced into the model. Animation can be done either through motion capture, or through key framing. The 3D-animation team uses high end silicon graphics hardware and software like Maya, Softimage and 3DSMax, to come out with visually stunning animation and sets for customers worldwide. 3D division pioneered the world's first 3D- animation movie to be fully animated using motion capture - "Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists" followed by Pandavas and Alibaba and Son of Aladdin, Gullivers Travel.

104

5. Post Production

Post-production activities comprise of scanning, non-linear editing and recording. Voices are recorded, often with several different cuts and then a selection of the best fits will be made. Music and other sound effects are worked on. The scenes are polished and shading, lighting and illumination added to give a deep and realistic feel to the animation, and finally they are "rendered" - all the layers of technical information are put together to form the frames. Any remaining technical issues are resolved at this stage, and the final film is ready for release.

ADDITIONAL FACILITIES AVAILABLE WITH US FOR PRODCUTION OF ANIMATED MOVIES

BLUE SCREEN

We see sequences in movies that are in reality too dangerous, or even impossible, to shoot live. Take, for instance, a shot where a man jumps off a cliff or out of an explosion. These shots are obviously too risky to perform. These shots are filmed using what is known as the "blue mat" or "blue screen" technique. Here, the actor performs the required action in front of a blue screen background; the blue is later keyed out, and the action is merged with the required background. Where the viewer is concerned, there is nothing on screen that betrays manipulation.

In our animation division, we experience intense competition with respect to animated feature film, animation products and software due to primary competitive factors like talent, price, product quality, technology etc. Our major competitors in this field are ILM, Disney Pixar, Dreamworks animation etc.

The Indian film industry is competitive. We would face competition from both corporate film Production houses and other players in the film industry. We would also face competition from other segment of entertainment media including but not limited to television channels, radio, and print among others. With a number of corporate houses, diversifying into film production and distribution and liberalization of FDI norms in film industry the competition may significantly increase.

In our Web Entertainment Division, there is huge competition with established players due to technical know how, superior infrastructure facilities and investment capabilities.

I. Actions taken by SEBI against our Company, its promoters and directors :

In September, 2003, PMGL issued certain equity shares on preferential basis at Rs.11.36 per share to Vijay Advertising Private Limited (VAPL) and Sathya Securities Private Limited(" Sathya "). On a preliminary enquiry, SEBI found that two (2) sets of physical share certificates covering 3400000 equity shares each, issued in the name of VAPL existed at the same time bearing the same distinctive numbers. One set of share certificate, in physical form, was pledged with Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) by VAPL apparently to secure the dues payable by PMGL to OBC. VAPL through its depository participant made a dematerialization request to PMGL’s RTA & STA enclosing another set of physical share certificates pertaining to the same distinctive numbers as those pledged with OBC. It appeared that either the shares pledged by VAPL with OBC were fake or the shares sent to the STA for dematerialization and subsequently sold in the market were fake.

Apparently, VAPL had sold the demat shares in the market, even though another set of original shares in the name of VAPL and pertaining to the same distinctive number continued to remain pledged in physical form with OBC. PMGL and its directors prima facie appeared to have actively assisted VAPL in the above fraud by simultaneously issuing shares bearing the same distinctive numbers without canceling the earlier issued shares. SEBI found PMGL and its directors guilty of violation of Regulation 3 and Regulation 4 (2)(h) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003.

In view of the findings of the preliminary enquiry as narrated hereinabove SEBI by an ex-parte interim order dated 27 th May, 2005 restrained PMGL from accessing capital market and from issuing any further shares or altering its share capital in any manner, and also prohibited PMGL, including its directors from dealing in securities market, till further directions.

In respect of the preferential issue by PMGL to VAPL and Sathya, SEBI observed that the funds for subscription aggregating to Rs.1083.20 Lakhs was provided by PMGL through its then subsidiary, Mayajaal Entertainment Limited. In the process SEBI found PMGL and Mayajaal Entertainment Limited, including their management, to have violated Regulation 3(b),(c) and (d) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations, 2003 and Section 77 of Companies Act, 1956. Further, PMGL and its management were found guilty by SEBI of various violations under SEBI (Disclosures for Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2005 and Listing Agreement. SEBI issued Show Cause Notice dated 22 nd December, 2005 to nineteen (19) entities including PMGL and Mayajaal.

189

In the light of the facts of the case, as brought out by SEBI investigation, PMGL and its directors, violated Regulation 3(b), (c), (d) and 4(2) (h) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations 2003. Mayajaal and its directors, Sri S. Chandrasekaran (Former CFO, PMGL and Ex- Director of Mayajaal Entertainment Ltd., violated Regulation 3(b), (c) and (d) of SEBI (Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations, 2003.

All communications will be addressed to the First Bidder and will be dispatched to his or her address.

Multiple Bids

A Bidder should submit only one (1) Bid (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares required. Two or more Bids will be deemed to be multiple Bids if the sole or First Bidder is one and the same. In this regard, the procedures which would be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple applications are given below:

1. All applications with the same name and age will be accumulated and taken to a separate process file which will serve as a multiple master document. 2. In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN numbers. In cases where the PAN numbers are different, the same will be deleted from this master. 3. The addresses of all these applications from the multiple master will be strung from the address master. This involves including the addresses in a single line after deleting non-alpha and non- numeric characters, i.e., commas, full stops, hashes etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of the address and pin code will be converted into a string for each application received and a photo match will be carried out among all the applications processed. A print-out of the addresses will be made to check for common names. Applications with the same name and same address will be treated as multiple applications. 4. The applications will be scanned for similar Depository Participant’s identity (DP ID) and client identity numbers. If applications bear the same numbers, these will be treated as multiple applications. 5. After the aforesaid procedures, a print-out of the multiple master will be taken and the applications physically verified to tally signatures and also father’s/husband’s names. Upon completion of this exercise, the applications will be identified as multiple applications. In case of a mutual fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the mutual fund registered with SEBI and such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the mutual fund will not be treated as multiple Bids provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme concerned for which the Bid has been made. We, in consultation with the BRLM, reserve the right to reject, in our absolute discretion, all or any multiple Bids in any or all categories.

PROCEDURE AND TIME OF SCHEDULE FOR ALLOTMENT AND ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES

The Issue will be conducted through a “100% book building process” pursuant to which the members of the Syndicate will accept bids for the Equity Shares during the Bidding/Issue Period. The Bidding/Issue Period will commence on [O], 2008 and expire on [O], 2008. Following the expiration of the Bidding/Issue Period, the Company, in consultation with the BRLM, will determine the Issue Price, and, in consultation with the BRLM, the basis of allocation and entitlement to Allotment based on the bids received and subject to confirmation by the BSE/NSE. Successful Bidders will be provided with a confirmation of their allocation (subject to a revised confirmation of allocation) and will be required to pay any unpaid amount for the Equity Shares within a prescribed time. The SEBI DIP Guidelines require the Company to complete the Allotment to successful Bidders within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the Bidding/Issue Period. The Equity Shares will then be credited and Allotted to the investors’ demat accounts maintained with the relevant depository participant. Upon approval by the Stock Exchanges, the Equity Shares will be listed and trading will commence.

METHOD OF PROPORTIONATE BASIS OF ALLOTMENT

In the event of the issue being over-subscribed, we shall finalise the basis of allotment to Retail Individual Bidders and Non-Institutional Bidders in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange. The Executive Director or Managing Director (or any other senior official nominated by them) of the Designated Stock Exchange along with the BRLM and the Registrars to the issue shall be responsible for ensuring that the basis of allotment is finalized in a fair and proper manner.

Bidders will be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for by them.

(a) The total number of Equity Shares to be allotted to each portion as a whole shall be arrived at on a proportionate basis, being the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that portion (number of Bidders in the portion multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for) multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio.

(b) Number of Equity Shares to be allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate basis, being the total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that portion multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio.

(c) If the proportionate allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than [ •] but is not a multiple of one (which is the market lot), the decimal would be rounded off to the higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5 , it would be rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all Bidders in such categories would be arrived at after such rounding off.

(d) In all Bids where the proportionate allotment is less than [ •] Equity Shares per Bidder, the allotment shall be made as follows:

o Each successful Bidder shall be Allotted a minimum of [ •] Equity Shares; o The successful Bidders out of the total Bidders for a portion shall be determined by draw of lots in a manner such that the total number of Equity Shares Allotted in that portion is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in accordance with (b) above; and

(e) Number of Equity Shares to be allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate basis which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio in that category subject to minimum allotment of [•] Equity Shares. The minimum allotment lot shall be the same as the minimum application lot irrespective of any revisions to the Price Band.

Background: In its continuing endeavour to make the existing public issue process more efficient SEBI has introduced a supplementary process of applying in public issues, viz: the “Applications Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA)” process. Accordingly SEBI (DIP) Guidelines 2000 has been amended for ASBA process.

The salient features of circular no. SEBI/CFD/DIL/DIP/31/2008/30/7 dated 30 th July, 2008 available on SEBI website for “ Additional mode of payment through Applications Supported by Blocked Amount (hereinafter referred to as “ASBA”) are mentioned below for understanding the ASBA process:

1. Meaning of ASBA: ASBA is an application for subscribing to an issue, containing an authorisation to block the application money in a bank account.

2. Self Certified Syndicate Bank (SCSB): SCSB is a bank which offers the facility of applying through the ASBA process. The list of SCSBs will be displayed by SEBI on its website at www.sebi.gov.in from time to time.

A SCSB shall identify its Designated Branches (DBs) at which an ASBA investor shall submit ASBA and shall also identify the Controlling Branch (CB) which shall act as a coordinating branch for the Registrar to the Issue, Stock Exchanges and Merchant Bankers. The SCSB, its DBs and CB shall continue to act as such, for all issues to which ASBA process is applicable. The SCSB may identify new DBs for the purpose of ASBA process and intimate details of the same to SEBI, after which SEBI will add the DB to the list of SCSBs maintained by it. The SCSB shall communicate the following details to Stock Exchanges for making it available on their respective websites. These details shall also be made available by the SCSB on its website:

In case of withdrawal/ failure of the issue, the amount shall be unblocked by the SCSB on receipt of information from the pre-issue merchant bankers.

5. Obligations of the Issuer: The issuer shall ensure that adequate arrangements are made by the Registrar to the Issue to obtain information about all ASBAs and to treat these applications similar to non- ASBA applications while finalizing the basis of allotment, as per the procedure specified in the Guidelines.
