Balaji Telefilms Limited
Annual Repor t 2011-12
In this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and take
investment decisions. This report and other statements, written and verbal, that we periodically make contain forward-looking
statements that set out anticipated results based on the management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried wherever possible, to
identify such statements by using words such as ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’ and words of
similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance.
We cannot guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in assumptions.
The achievements of results are subject to risks, uncertainties, and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks
or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated, or projected. Readers should keep this in mind. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

What works for Balaji in the dynamic
entertainment space?
The answer is: Differentiation works for us.
Difference in the way we think, the way we act and the way
we interpret the minds of the audience. The result is creative
expression that is refreshingly original and thought provoking
for an engaging entertainment experience.
We like to challenge ‘assumptions’ and that remains our core
strength. We will continue to celebrate diversity in India’s
Media and Entertainment (M&E) landscape, cutting across
language barriers, media platforms and geographies. We have
built a strong team of dedicated people with the experience
and expertise to pursue our strategy and our achievement is
the result of their efforts.

Established in 1994, Balaji Tele?lms Limited
(Balaji) has today emerged as one of the leading
entertainment houses in India. Since the
commencement of our journey, our compelling
and cutting-edge content has been the result of
our differentiated thinking and implementation.
We have set a benchmark in television
programming and were one of the ?rst
organisations to explore the prospects of Hindi
General Entertainment Channels (GEC) and
Regional GECs across India. We have successfully
produced over 15,000 hours of television content
in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and
Bengali entertainment genre.
Realising opportunities in the Indian movies
segment, we have forayed further into the
domain of motion pictures for the production
and distribution of ?lms. Within a short period
of time, we have established ourselves as a
serious player in Indian movies. Further, despite
being one of the youngest in the ?lms segment,
we are recognised amongst the top studios with
respect to ?lm production and distribution.

Vision
To consistently provide delightful and innovative entertainment experiences by engaging audience and
nurturing talent.
The Brands
The Balaji brand comprises traditional television
content and high pro?le Hindi feature ?lms.
ALT Entertainment represents a cutting-edge
youth-oriented brand, engaged in content
creation for a more urbane and younger
generation of viewers, across the spectrum of
India’s television and movies.
Values
Storytelling
Our stories and narratives have been shared
in every culture across the country to delight
our audience, with our content as means of
entertainment, education, cultural preservation
and instilling moral values.
Integrity
Our concept of consistency in actions, values,
measures and principles has promoted the
Company as highly ethical in all its dealings.
Excellence
We have always improved the standard of our performance and continue to raise the
benchmark for ourselves.
Passion
Our eager interest in delivering quality to our
audience has driven us to go that extra mile.
Compassion
We believe that the virtue of empathy is a
cornerstone of greater social inter-connection.
This has enabled us to understand and respect
individuals and work together as a great
uni?ed team.
Telling Different Stories
on Television
Our continuous focus on Indian television is evident
from the growing popularity of our programmes,
despite the economic turmoil. Engaging television
audience has always been challenging, and to
maintain TRP ratings, the shows must entertain
viewers regularly by providing addictive content. We
achieve this by leveraging our strengths in creative
content by understanding the need to provide fresh
concepts that help retain viewership. The new and
diverse storyline of our shows appeal to the Indian
population across varied age groups, income and
personality types. The versatility shown in our shows
like Pavitra Rishta (daily struggle of a middle class
family life), Bade Achche Lagte Hain (a mature love
story), Parichay (the ?ght of a common man for
survival) and Kya Hua Tera Vaada (emotional turmoil of
a young couple) continues to engage our viewers. Our
new show, Gumraah, is another landmark in television
programming. Based on juvenile crime, it is the ?rst of
its kind to be converted into a daily soap from a non-
GEC channel. Television continues to remain our focus
with eight to nine new shows in the pipeline. Not only
did we concentrate on the creative side, but also made
efforts to comply with the changing industry norms
and successfully moved towards HD programming to
enhance viewing experience.

Thinking Level-
next Movie Ideas
The uniqueness of our content remains our abiding strength. Our
content is completely focused on pure entertainment. On the other
hand, we broke the dominance of family movies with contemporary
concepts. We introduced adult comedy in Indian movies with Kya
Kool Hai Hum. The Dirty Picture is one of the boldest movies in India,
revolving around a female protagonist, high-lighting the rise and fall
in her career as an actress. The exclusive action, drama and thrill of
our movies have been able to cater to the contemporary audience,
who seek niche concepts.
We continue to focus on our marketing initiatives as the commercial
aspect of ?lmmaking is equally important. The success of our efforts
is evident from the public interest and acceptance of our movies. We
believe in identifying one big idea, followed by complete exploration
of the market. Our marketing plan begins from the inception of
the movie’s production and peaks out towards its end. The recent
success of Ragini MMS and The Dirty Picture highlight our innovative
marketing approach.
Ragini MMS introduced a completely new concept in ?lm
marketing, with teasers behind auto rickshaws. It further stirred
the audience’s interest by creating special ambience in public
locations and theatres
The Dirty Picture’s marketing initiatives began four months
prior to the release of the movie with a bold campaign. A
conference was organised at the Gaiety theatre to symbolise
the era and to create the mood. The initiatives spanned across
the regional markets, including small towns, in association with
local publishers

Today, Balaji stands on the threshold of a humongous
opportunity. An opportunity to leverage the
transformation of the M&E industry on the strength
of its innovative content creation and globally
benchmarked execution strategies. India’s M&E
sector is evolving like never before, and so is the
viewing preference of audience. The challenge is to
feel the pulse of the new-age audience, go back to
the drawing board, innovate aggressively and provide
him/her engaging entertainment with a difference.
Our creative expertise, technology focus and foresight
have enabled us to remain relevant in a dynamic
entertainment space, despite challenges.
The year witnessed reasonable application of the long-
promised digital ecosystem. Subsequently, Indian
movies have bene?ted from digital distribution with
wide releases and revenue accretion. The television
industry has grown via leveraging the rapidly evolving
segment of digital cable and HD channels. Growing
use of smart phones and tablets brought a seminal
transformation in entertainment, with proliferation
in the number of screens further impacting video
consumption patterns. The regional and rural media
is also on a growth trajectory, capitalising on the
increased number of television households and
growing consumption of Tier II and Tier III cities.
Overall, India’s M&E market is expanding steadily and
is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth
rate of 15 percent over the next ?ve years, to reach
` 1.4 trillion in 2016.
At Balaji, we have anticipated upcoming industry
opportunities. Our expertise and experience tell us
that while watching a programme, viewers are less
inclined towards social issues or controversies. We
follow one simple approach to engross them: we
deliver a complete entertainment package. Since the
beginning of our journey, entertaining viewers has
been our focal point. Leveraging our capabilities to
cater to the needs of the Indian audience, we are all
set to explore market opportunities. The last few years
witnessed a change in audience preferences. We have
always provided versatile content to address varied
demographics.
The Indian box of?ce registered commendable success
in the last few years. Yet, considering the number of
movies produced and number of tickets sold each year,
the box of?ce revenue still has remarkable growth
potential as ticket prices for Indian cinema is one
of the lowest in the world. To leverage the growing
possibilities of the Indian ?lm industry, we have
shifted dynamically from television content to movies.
The roaring success of our movies testi?es our strategy
of refreshing ideation and professional execution. We
also acknowledge the importance of talented and
skilled workforce to serve the entertainment industry.
We are putting our best foot forward to create a
healthy and professionalised work environment and
nurture the potential of our human assets.
We are optimistic about the journey ahead and
consider challenges as a necessary part of the growth
trajectory. Balaji has overcome challenges on the
strength of its passion to entertain diverse audience
and an ability to foresee industry evolution. I would like
to thank all our investors, business partners, viewers
and all the members of the Balaji family for supporting
us during tough times and seek their participation in
our journey forward.
Warm regards,
Chairman

At Balaji, Fiscal 2011-12 has been a year of
metamorphosis. The preceding three years have been
tough for Balaji with historically low realisations
and declining volumes for television content
production. However, this period has also been
one of ‘introspection’ on Balaji’s identity and of
strategic ‘action’.
Balaji took the patient and arduous route to become
a ?lm studio. It has worked through the slowdown to
create a distinct identity for itself, both in television
production through its eclectic content offering as
well as in the ?lm domain, wherein it has come to be
recognised as a serious and credible studio.
We have accepted the hurdles in the right spirit to
carve our own niche in the entertainment space. We
have identi?ed the ideal requirements and focused on
them – be it innovative content, creative marketing
or resource strength, which, I am proud to say, have
established Balaji Tele?lms as a mature, determined
and responsive organisation in the dynamic
M&E space.
In television production, the focus has been on
providing a diverse offering across all the GECs to
match up with the evolving audience tastes – the
success of Bade Acche Lagte Hain being a case in
point. Nurturing and encouraging talent to create
superior content continues the show; Gumraah offers
a testimony to this. We have slowly seen an uptick in
the number of programming hours, which we expect
to be consistent and growing in future. Operational
ef?ciencies continue to provide us with opportunities
and we believe that we have managed to achieve a
satisfactory level of excellence. This has been possible
by making the optimum and innovative utilisation
of our existing sets, which continue to remain our
strong USP, and by an effective management reporting
system, which enables us to continuously monitor and
control costs.
In ?lm content, we have a healthy pipeline of releases.
We are focusing our efforts in the current year for
creating robust releases for 2013-14 and 2014-15. The
success of our past ?lms including LSD, Once Upon a
Time in Mumbaai, Ragini MMS and Shor in the City as
well as the resounding success of The Dirty Picture,
has given us a platform of credibility and respect in
the industry, and it is this platform, which will create a
foundation for our future growth.
Not taking recourse to the ‘acquisition’ strategy, we
have preferred to drive our growth through the dif?cult
(but pro?table) method of in-house productions, as
well as through co-productions with reputed ?lm
makers on exciting scripts. These scripts we believe can
achieve the tough standards of cinematic excellence
and pass the litmus test of audience acceptance.
On the operational side of ?lm production, we have
adopted the practice of cost control through strict
monitoring and effective benchmarking. This enables
us to manage costs and take informed decisions
without compromising on the quality of production.
While the results in the past year have not lived up
to our expectations, given the challenging business
environment, we believe we are on the threshold of
a pro?table change in our operations – both in the
?lm and television domains. Our commitment to
stakeholder expectations will help us emerge as a
more powerful, ?exible and diverse national brand.
Warm Regards,
Managing Director

The only certain reality of the Indian entertainment
industry is the continuous demand for unique
entertainment and the willingness of the audience to
pay a premium for it. Our core strength is our ability to
think different, think beyond and not be a victim of the
‘trend mentality’. We have been known as trendsetters
in content creation in the television and movies space.
Soon after the commencement of our journey, we
helped Hindi GECs to reach the mass media through
our legendary shows. Our simple yet engrossing
content turned our protagonists into household
names. The talent we introduced has moved on to
making ?ourishing careers for themselves. Balaji
has also considered the aspiration of today’s young
and new-age audience, and embraced contemporary
content. Our extended reach to the Regional GECs
demonstrated our ability to take on further challenges.
To be successful on this front, it is important to have
an emotional connect with the people and culture of
the respective region.
The drive to innovate delivered additional success
in FY 2012, a landmark year for the Company. The
Dirty Picture emerged as the most celebrated ?lm
of the decade, and inarguably, a compelling and
supremely powerful cinematic brand. The award-
winning movie broke conventional industry myths
and restored the position of the female protagonist
in Indian cinema. Some of our small budget movies
like Shor in the City and Ragini MMS bagged incredible
acclaim and re-endorsed our standing as a creator
of alternative, cutting-edge content. The success of
the State award winning Marathi ?lm, Taaryanche
Bait, further emphasised our capability to create
different movies.
Balaji has become synonymous with creative
and innovative marketing in order to generate
widespread public interest. The pre-release marketing
campaigns for our ?lms became Case Studies for
the industry to emulate, besides creating strong
audience anticipation.
This is a proud moment for Balaji as we are the only
organisation with signi?cant success in both ?lms and
television. In fact, our swift success in the ?lms space
came as a surprise to many, and for that, I have the
passion and diligence of my team to thank.
We have emerged as a magnet to attract industry-
relevant talent, and are hopeful of continuing our
journey of creation. We have a plethora of projects in
the pipeline, which promise to be just as engaging and
entertaining as the ones you have seen. We believe
that the coming years are going to be increasingly
exciting, as we explore new territories and make
new conquests in the dynamic world of Media
and Entertainment.
Warm Regards,
Joint Managing Director

1. ECONOMIC REVIEW
2011-12 was a challenging year across the global economic and political spectrum: sluggish economic growth,
?fth consecutive year of recession in Greece, political instability across the Middle East and North Africa,
deepening European crisis and a fragile US recovery. The liquidity infusions by the European Central Bank (ECB)
have considerably improved the global ?nancial markets. Nevertheless, an acceptable solution to the euro-zone
crisis is still not in sight. The emerging economies are also witnessing slowdown, largely due to the trickledown
effect of the global slowdown, and domestic pressures. The World Bank has predicted a modest global GDP growth
of 2.5 percent in 2012, increasing to 3 percent in 2013 and 3.3 percent in 2014
The global turbulence has predictably, impacted India’s economic performance as well. The domestic economy
witnessed 6.5 percent growth in FY 2011-12, the lowest in nine years. Tight monetary control measures, high
in?ation, increasing fuel cost, growing ?scal de?cit, slow infrastructure investments, contracting exports and
imports and weakening rupee further arrested growth.
However, the long-term economic prospects appear bright, compared to most countries of the world. The World
Bank has marginally raised India’s growth forecast for 2012-13 to 6.9 percent, from its January estimate of 6.8
percent.

2. GLOBAL MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY REVIEW
The Media & Entertainment industry comprises the creation, aggregation, and distribution of content, news and
information, advertising, and entertainment through various media channels and platforms. The global M&E
industry is highly fragmented, with North America dominating the market. Asia Paci?c (APAC), Latin America, and
the Middle East are anticipated to develop rapidly, with APAC expected to witness the highest growth during the
next ?ve years, i.e. 2012–2017. Internet-based entertainment is gaining importance quite rapidly. It is projected to
grow in double digits, and account for 10 percent of overall global industry growth in the next six years. Concisely,
the market holds signi?cant opportunities and it is expected to reach approximately US$1,289 Billion in 2017
with a CAGR of 5 percent during 2012–2017.

progressed considerably leveraging the dynamic consumer preferences towards niche content, digital delivery
platforms, evolving business models and changing regulations. The year witnessed robust growth in advertising

various segments. The ?lm segment also witnessed new means of distribution via digitalisation with regards to
Cable & Satellite (C&S) and music.
Backed by a strong consumption especially in Tier II and Tier III cities, continual regional media development and
fast growing new media businesses, the Indian M&E industry grew to ` 728 Billion in 2011. The growth of the
industry is expected to be about 13 percent, to reach ` 823 Billion in 2012. Going forward, the sector is estimated
to grow at a healthy CAGR of 14.9 percent to reach ` 1,457 Billion by 2016.
Television remains the leading medium in the sector. Sectors such as animation, VFX, digital advertising and
gaming are growing their share of the market rapidly. Advertising spends across all media witnessed 41 percent
growth in 2011, compared to the previous ?scal. Advertising revenues registered a growth of 13 percent in 2011
against 17 percent observed in 2010.

3.1 Key industry trends
3.1.1 Proliferation of new age user devices
The proliferation of various entertainment platforms has made media consumption more personal than ever.
Smart phones, tablets, PCs, and gaming devices are gradually in?uencing content creation and distribution.
Multiple media including TV, ?lms, news, radio, music etc are being impacted with this change.
3.1.2 New age consumers
With India’s growing young population, there is a greater need for integration and innovation across traditional
and new media platforms. The recent introduction of 3G and high bandwidth data networks have enabled
consumers to subscribe to customised digital content. Digital formats have provided a platform to deliver content
over mobile phones, tablets and other forms of portable computers and devices to meet the demand. The industry
perceives changes in media consumption habits and increased inclinations for niche content, and has begun
providing additional and greater touch points to engage with audience.
3.1.3 Emergence of regional markets
The regional entertainment industry has been on a sustained growth trajectory primarily on account of increased
regional income and consumption. National advertisers are looking at leveraging these markets as prime
mediums, and increase their footprint. Local advertisers are also focusing on the regional media realising the
bene?ts of marketing their products. Film studios and funds have already showcased their interest by investing
in regional cinema.
3.1.4 Continued dependency on advertising revenue
Advertising revenue is still the main stream of income for the Indian M&E industry as the ARPU for television and
average ticket price for ?lms continue to be low, owing to intense competition.
3.1.5 Growth of the Music industry
The Indian music industry achieved revenues of ` 9 Billion in 2011, registering 5 percent growth over 2010. The
industry witnessed a 19 percent Y-o-Y decline in sales of physical music, which was compensated by signi?cant
jump of 24 percent Y-o-Y in digital music consumed. While 2010 was the year of structural shift from physical
formats to digital ones, 2011 provided users viable options of music consumption through different digital
platforms such as pay per download, unlimited music streaming and subscription based music services.
3.1.6 Regulatory shifts
There have been signi?cant changes in the regulatory front in the past few years. The implementation of the
recently enacted regulation on digitisation for cable impacts the industry considerably. Implementation of Phase
3 and the roll out of 4G will further affect the industry.

3.2 Indian Television Industry
In terms of revenue, television remains the largest medium for media delivery, representing around 45 percent
of the total industry turnover. India continues to be the third largest TV market after USA and China, with 146
Million television households. C&S penetration of television households currently stands at 80 percent of the
total households, with DTH driving a signi?cant part of the growth in the last 12 months. In the near horizon,
digitisation of all analog cable subscribers will promote the penetration level of digital households. The over-all
television industry size was estimated to be ` 329 Billion in 2011, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17 percent
over 2011-16, reaching ` 735 Billion in 2016.
The share of subscription to the total industry revenue is expected to increase from 65 percent in 2011 to 69
percent in 2016. The total number of TV channels in India has gone up to 623 in 2011, and a number of channels
are anticipating approvals for broadcast. The industry currently witnesses a robust demand for satellite bandwidth
with the introduction of HD channels, DTH expansion and new channel launches. This leads to delivering
customised content based on a consumer’s spending capability in the near future.

3.2.1.2 Increased television sales
Sales of new TV sets have been on a rise in India. It was estimated to be approximately 17 Million in 2011. Since
2005, India has added 12-16 Million TV sets every year. Owing to rising Indian middle class, growing per capita
income and newer television sets with superior technologies, the trend is expected to continue.
3.2.1.3 Increased C&S penetration
During 2011, the number of C&S households has grown by 11 Million to reach 119 Million in India. Of the total TV
households, C&S penetration has increased to 81 percent in 2011 from 78 percent in 2010. In the coming years,
demand for C&S is expected to be driven by consumer demand for content beyond free to air channels, combined
with the relatively low ARPUs in India.
By 2016, the number of C&S households is estimated to reach approximately 176 Million of which paid C&S
households is estimated to be 168 Million households, representing a 89 percent of total TV households.

Currently in India, a large number of advertisers are still using only the print platform. However newer and
more effective mediums are gaining prominence. As the industry depends primarily on advertisement revenues,
emergence of newer platforms provides ample growth prospects.

3.2.1.6 Digitisation opportunities
The Indian cable television industry is transforming to the Digital Addressable System (DAS) for television
distribution. Under DAS regime, cable operators would be legally bound to transmit only digital signals. Subscribed
channels can be received at the customer’s premises only through a set-top-box equipped with a conditional
access card, and a Subscriber Management System (SMS). In a nut-shell, each user in the network would be
uniquely identi?able to the service provider.
The consumer on account of digital television is expected to gain access to a higher number of TV channels along
with customised tariffs, availability of broadband and other value-added-services leading to an enhanced user
experience through better viewing quality and consumer service.

3.3 Indian Film Industry
The resurgence of Hindi movies with mass connect backed by improved content quality has bene?tted occupancy
rates in 2011, which in turn increased domestic box-of?ce collections. The estimated market size of the Indian
?lm industry stood at around ` 93 Billion in 2011, registering a growth of 11.5 percent as compared to 2010.
Competitive bidding by broadcasters for large budget ?lms resulted in 26 percent growth of Cable and Satellite
rights. Ancillary revenues (such as licensing and merchandising, in-cinema advertising and pay per view) which
are yet less signi?cant with respect to size and scale, have also displayed strong growth in 2011. The Home video
segment was the only exception to the growth trend with most ?lmmakers ceasing to consider this as a major
line-item in their revenue estimations.
With several upcoming high budget Hindi releases, year 2012 is expected to sustain the growth momentum
witnessed in 2011. The Indian ?lm industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.1 percent to touch `150 Billion in
2016. The dominance of domestic theatrical revenues in the ?lm industry is expected to sustain. The market share
of C&S rights and overseas theatricals revenues are also increasing as strong marketing initiatives for ?lms in the
International market may further accelerate the growth of theatrical revenues overseas.

3.3.1 Distribution landscape
Larger ?lm budgets supported by aggressive marketing campaigns and promotional tactics are gaining
importance. With growing importance of local presence, there are larger opportunities for producers to unlock
the complete potential of a given geography.
In 2011, commercial success ratio of ?lms remains roughly 15 percent to 17 percent. While small budget ?lms
continue to struggle for screen space, the number of domestic and international screens for big budget ?lms has
more than doubled. Medium budget ?lms have also observed steady growth with regards to domestic screens.
The industry expects this number to increase further.

3.3.2 Growth drivers
3.3.2.1 Growing multiplexes
The growth of multiplex chains continued through 2011. Despite representing less than 15 percent of the total
screens in India, multiplex screens in 2011 accounted for a third of the total box of?ce collections. Despite the
overall surge in multiplexes across Tier I cities, urban centers are still away from saturation. Moreover, the growing
number of multiplexes in Tier I and Tier II cities will further enhance growth. The industry is expected to double
the multiplex screens over the next few years to over 2,200 screens in 2016 indicating a CAGR of 20.28 percent.
3.3.2.2 Upsurge in ?lm advertising
In past few years, there is a marked improvement in transparency of ticket sales in India. This can be mainly
attributed to the superior processes and systems introduced by multiplex chains and the digitisation of theaters
and prints. These, in turn, have increased the adoption of cinema advertising in India. The cinema advertising
market has grown at a robust 18 percent in 2011 to reach ` 140 Crores. Advertising revenue is expected to
contribute to 30 percent of total digital cinema revenue this year as compared to 24 percent in the last ?nancial
year. Cinema advertising is projected to account approximately 40 percent of revenue for digital cinema providers
in the coming years.
3.3.2.3 New opportunities in regional cinema
Regional ?lm industry has come a long way since the past few years. Besides the incremental growth of South
Indian cinema, the industry has witnessed growth in Marathi, Bengali and Punjabi cinema. Multiplexes have
started experimenting with regional movies in the last few years. Regional movies are also exploring opportunities
in the International market. Though the growth of regional ?lms is not uniform across all the languages, there are
encouraging signs of growth in the near future.

3.4 Opportunities of Indian M&E Industry
3.4.1 The HD growth curve
Broadcasters and DTH players have expanded their HD offerings this year due to a rising demand for high end
LCD and Plasma TV which are estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 22 percent over 2011 to 2015. With rising
incomes and changing demography’s consumers are looking for a better television viewing experience and
are willing to pay a premium to subscribe to HD channels. It is estimated that approximately 7 to 8 percent of
new DTH subscribers are opting for HD packages and the trend has gone beyond speci?c events like sports and
movies for HD channels amongst consumers. There are approximately 30 channels available in HD today in GEC,
Infotainment and lifestyle apart from movies and sports genres. Growing subscription for HD channels could lead
to increase in ARPUs providing a subscription revenue boost to distributors and broadcasters.
3.4.2 Early monetisation
With increased piracy, reduced theatre to TV window and limited screen space at multiplexes, producers are
focusing to monetise on a ?lm as early as possible. It works for the distributors as well, since the increased total
outlays lead to an urgent need to recover and rotate cash ?ows. Until a few years ago, 1000+ prints were considered
adequate for large budget ?lms. However, in the recent times, the number of domestic prints for large budget
?lms has tripled to 3000+. Industry sources believe that this number will continue to rise, further enhancing the
growth opportunities of the ?lm industry.
3.4.3 Growing pre-release cost recovery
Subject to the genre and star-cast of the ?lm, studios are able to recover anywhere between 40-80 percent of
their production costs before the ?lm is released. Rights for cable and satellite, music, home video and select
merchandising are sold prior to release of the ?lm in theatres. In select cases, even overseas rights are sold
upfront. Reduced dependence on box of?ce collections to recover the cost has mitigated the risk associated with
the business for production houses and provides an upfront return much before the actual release date which is
comforting for production houses.
3.4.4 Rising overseas contribution
While the US, UK and Middle East continue to account for the bulk of overseas revenues, studios continue to
explore newer markets like South Korea, Western Europe, Taiwan and Africa for Hindi ?lms which are witnessing
rising Indian populations. The contribution of overseas revenue from the total ?lms’ revenue is expected to rise
to 40 percent from its current levels of 10-15 percent. Growth will be driven by marketing campaign, increased
penetration in existing areas apart from newer markets.

3.5 Challenges of the Indian M&E industry
3.5. 1 Slowdown of advertising revenues
A slowdown in the global and domestic economy during 2011 has considerably impacted the television
broadcasting industry leading to pressure on advertising rates. It resulted in a lower than expected advertising
revenues, especially during the second half of the year. The total TV advertising market has increased around 12
percent in 2011, lower than 15 percent of the previous ?scal.
3.5.2 Cannibalisation
Cricket World Cup and IPL (to a lesser extent) almost blacked out a wide four month period from February to
May in 2011. Events like these capture the consumers’ attention and result in fewer weekends available for ?lm
releases. Consequently, only about 40 weekends were available for ?lm releases in 2011 which led to 7-10 ?lms
aggressively struggling for screen space.
3.5.3 Unfavorable tax regime
India is a severely under-screened market (12 compared to 31, 81 and 131 in China, Europe and USA respectively).
Attempts have been made to improve the situation, however the process is capital and time intensive. Further,
the returns on investment cycles are affected by higher real estate prices and stagnant occupancy rates. Also the
average ticket prices (ATP) are still beyond the purchasing power of common man coupled with tax multiplicity;
increased service tax of 12.6 percent which further affects the scenario.
3.5.4 Lack of quality shooting infrastructure
Despite being a huge ?lm-producing nation, there are only four major ?lm cities in the country (Mumbai,
Hyderabad, Noida and Chennai). It results in reduced option available for shooting. Each of the cities faces pressure
due to a rapid growth in broadcast and advertising requirements. On a daily basis, there is a demand-supply gap of
10,059 studio ?oors in Mumbai alone which has the potential for absorbing additional ?oor space. However, high
real estate price has made this option increasingly unviable.

4.3 Risk management
Risk Mitigation
Increased competition affecting the bargaining
power of the Company with channels.
Over the years, Balaji has established itself as one of the
leaders in Hindi GECs and enjoys strong brand recognition
with considerable premium. The creative output of the
Company ensures a larger show life and automates
premium valuation.
Uncertainties in Government policies The Company thoroughly keeps track of the changing
regulations to comply with all the statutory requirements.
Dependence on single channel and speci?c
region may affect the pro?tability of the
Company.
Balaji has a diversi?ed business portfolio including movies,
mobile and internet market, apart from the television
content. Moreover, it has a strong presence across 5 Hindi
GECs and it is diversifying its presence in the regional
markets.
Shift in the entertainment preference of the
audience may have detrimental effect on the
bottom-line.
The talent pool of the Company is creating original concept
and contents for television and ?lms to match with changing
customer preferences.
Retention of the talent pool is one of the major
concerns of the Company.
The brand name of Balaji has always managed to attract
and retain superior talent from the industry.
4.4 Future outlook
Over the years, Balaji Tele?lms has emerged as one of the key players in Indian M&E industry. To capitalise the
future growth opportunities in television and ?lm market, the Company is strategically positioning itself in the
market. With increasing demand of creative and niche content in television and movies, there is higher focus on
creating original and diverse show content to retain the leadership position. The Company already has a strong
presence in Hindi GECs. Further, it is also expanding network on the regional GECs to leverage on the increasing
opportunities in regional markets. After huge success of the movie segment in the previous ?scal, the Company
continues developing and nurturing talent to generate superior script and ?lm content. Moreover, it has also
focused on increasing the distribution capabilities and marketing of the ?lms. All inclusive, the Company is poised
to retain its growth and it will further leverage the tremendous opportunities of the M & E industry.
4.5 Internal control system
The Company understands the necessity of a well-de?ned organisational structure ad strong internal growth.
The organisational structure ensures maximum utilisation of resources and safeguards the same from misuse;
whereas the Audit Committee ensures statutory and regulatory control and transparency of all ?nancial
disclosures. It also has an internal audit team and an independent commercial team, which monitor and enhance

The studio has a number of award-winning and acclaimed box of?ce blockbusters to its credit. Once Upon A Time
in Mumbaai and Love Sex aur Dhokha set the ball rolling in 2010. With four releases, 2011 saw the rapid emergence
of Alt Entertainment, BMPL’s alternate brand, which stands for new-age cinema with alternate sensibilities. Shor
in the City, an urban drama, emerged as the most acclaimed ?lm of the year, while Ragini MMS, a paranormal
thriller made on a shoe-string budget, became the biggest hit. Alt’s foray into regional cinema with its maiden
State Award-winning Marathi co-production, Taryanche Bait, was received with an overwhelming response and
set new box of?ce precedents. The year ended on a crescendo with the runaway success of The Dirty Picture,
unarguably, the most acclaimed, celebrated and discussed ?lm of Indian cinema.
Continuing its exponential growth curve, BMPL is expected to release three major productions in 2012-2013 and
?ve in 2013-2014.
The Company’s Board has approved an investment upto ` 150 Crores in form of interest free temporary loan/
advances to BMPL. BMPL achieved a turnover of ` 5,845.50 Lacs as against ` 4,169.70 Lacs during the previous

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Energy conservation measures taken by the Company
Our operations are not energy intensive. However, signi?cant measures are taken to reduce energy consumption
by using energy-ef?cient computers and by purchasing energy-ef?cient equipment. We purchase computers,
laptops, air conditioners etc. that meet environmental standards, wherever possible, and regularly upgrade old
equipment with more energy-ef?cient equipment. Currently, we use CFL ?xtures to reduce the power consumption
in the illumination system.
Additional investments and proposals, if any, being implemented for reduction of consumption of energy
We regularly conduct a survey of our existing infrastructure and assess the need to adopt newer energy ef?cient
technologies.
Impact of the measures and consequent impact on the cost of production of goods
Energy costs comprise a miniscule part of our total expenditure and the ?nancial impact of these measures is not
material.
Total energy consumption
Since the Company does not form part of the list of industries speci?ed in the schedule, the same is not applicable
to the Company.
TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION
The Company’s research and development initiative mainly consists of ideation of new subjects for our content
production business, which are used in the creation of new storyline and tracks. The expenses incurred on such
initiatives are not practically quanti?able.
The Company is an integrated player in the entertainment industry and our business is such that there is
limited scope for new technology absorption, adaptation and innovation. However, the Company uses the latest
technology, wherever possible to deliver superior production value, as a regular process.

result on completion of the physical veri?cation exercise.

?xed assets of the Company and such disposal has, in our opinion, not affected the going concern status
of the Company.
iii) a) The inventories (tapes) have been physically veri?ed during the year by the management. In our opinion, the
frequency of veri?cation is reasonable.
b) The procedures of physical veri?cation of inventories (tapes) followed by the management are reasonable
and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventories (tapes). The discrepancies noticed on veri?cation
between the physical stocks and book records were not material.
iv) a) The Company has granted interest free unsecured loans aggregating ` 4,696.78 Lacs to its wholly owned

end, the outstanding balances of such loans aggregated ` 3,991.67 Lacs and the maximum amount
involved during the year was ` 5,042.14 Lacs.
b) In our opinion, the terms and conditions of the loan given are not, prima facie, prejudicial to the interests
of the Company.
c) According to information and explanations given to us, since there are no repayment schedules with
regard to the loans given, clause (iii) (c) to (d) of paragraph 4 of Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003
are not applicable to the Company.
d) The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured from companies, ?rms or other parties

v) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there is an adequate internal
control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business with regard to

our audit, we have not observed any continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in such internal control
system.
vi) In respect of contracts or arrangements entered in the Register maintained in pursuance of Section 301 of
the Companies Act, 1956, to the best of our knowledge and belief and according to the information and
explanations given to us:
a) The particulars of contracts or arrangements referred to Section 301 that needed to be entered in the
Register maintained under the said Section have been so entered.
b) Where each of such transaction is in excess of ` 5 Lacs in respect of any party, the transactions have been
made at prices which are prima facie reasonable having regard to the prevailing market prices at the
relevant time where such market prices are available with the Company.
vii) The Company has not accepted any deposit from the public.
viii) In our opinion, the internal audit functions carried out during the year by a ?rm of Chartered Accountants
appointed by the management have been commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
business.

the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under Section 209(1)(d) of the Companies Act,

maintained. We have, however, not made a detailed examination of the records.

NOTE 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
Incorporated on November 10, 1994, Balaji Tele?lms Limited has established itself as one of the largest televison
content production houses in India. With its footprint established in the hindi speaking market, it has now
extended into the regional entertainment markets. With a library of over 100 televison shows, Balaji has also
ventured into the events business.
NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The ?nancial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India, the Accounting Standard noti?ed under the
Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The ?nancial
statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Revised Schedule VI to the Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of ?nancials statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date
of the ?nancial statements and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reported year.
Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are
known / materialised.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction. They are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation / amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION
Depreciation on ?xed assets is provided on straight line basis in accordance with provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956 at the rates and in the manner speci?ed in schedule XIV of this Act except for the following ?xed assets
which are depreciated as per management estimates of their useful life which are as under:
Studios and sets @ 33.33%
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amounts.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash ?ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal
at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
INVESTMENTS
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long term investments are carried at cost. However,
when there is a decline, other than temporary, the carrying amount is reduced to recognise the decline.
INVENTORIES
Items of inventory are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the following basis :
Tapes : First In First Out
Television serials : Average cost
Unamortised cost of content : The cost of content is amortised in the ratio of current revenue to
expected total revenue. At the end of each accounting period, balance
unamortised cost is compared with net expected revenue. If net expected
revenue is less than unamortised cost, the same is written down to net
expected revenue.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
a) In respect of sponsored programmes, revenue is recognised as and when the relevant episodes of the
programmes are telecast.

b) In respect of commissioned programmes, revenue is recognised as and when the relevant episodes of the
programmes are delivered to the channels.
In all other cases, revenue (income) is recognised when no signi?cant uncertainty as to its determination or
realisation exists.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
a) Post employment bene?ts and other long term bene?ts
i) De?ned Contribution Plans
The Company contributes towards Provident Fund and Family Pension Fund. Liability in respect thereof is
determined on the basis of contribution as required under the Statue / Rules.
ii) De?ned Bene?t Plans
The trustees of Balaji Tele?lms Limited Employees Group Gratuity Scheme have taken a Group Gratuity
cum Life Assurance Policy from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Contributions are made to LIC in respect of gratuity based upon actuarial valuation done at the end of every
?nancial year using ‘Projected Unit Credit Method’ Major drivers in actuarial assumptions, typically, are years
of service and employee compensation. Gains and losses on changes in actuarial assumptions are accounted
in the pro?t and loss account.
b) Short Term Employee Bene?ts
Short term employee bene?ts are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the pro?t and loss
account of the year in which the related service is rendered.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the original rates of exchange in force at the time the transactions
are effected. At the year end, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are reported using the closing
rates of exchange. Exchange differences arising thereon and on realisation / payment of foreign exchange are
accounted in the relevant year as income or expense.
BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are
capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
OPERATING LEASES
Assets taken on lease under which, all the risks and rewards of the ownership are effectively retained by the lessor
are classi?ed as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as expenses in accordance
with the respective lease agreements.
TAXES ON INCOME
Tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to / recovered from the tax authorities, using the
applicable tax rates.
Deferred income tax re?ect the current period timing differences between taxable income and accounting income
for the period and reversal of timing differences of earlier years / period. Deferred tax assets are recognised only
to the extent that there is reasonable certainty, that suf?cient future income will be available except that the
deferred tax assets, in case there are unabsorbed depreciation and losses, are recognised if there is a virtual
certainty that suf?cient future taxable income will be available to realise the same.
PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of a past event, for
which it is probable that cash out?ow will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when the Company has a possible or present obligation where it is
not probable that an out?ow of resources will be required to settle it. Contingent assets are neither recognised
nor disclosed.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES ON ACCOUNTS
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Balaji Tele?lms Limited (BTL/Parent Company) and
its Balaji Motion Pictures Limited (Subsidiary) as aforesaid (hereinafter together referred as “the group”), have
been prepared to comply in all material aspects with applicable accounting principles in India, the Accounting
Standards (AS) noti?ed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006. The ?nancial statements of the
subsidiary used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Parent Company
namely March 31, 2012. The ?nancial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Revised
Schedule VI to the Act.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The ?nancial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiary have been consolidated on a line by line basis
by adding together the book value of like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, after eliminating intra –
group transactions and any unrealised gain or losses on the balances remaining within the group in accordance
with the Accounting Standard 21 on “Consolidated Financial Statements” (AS-21).
The ?nancial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiary have been consolidated using uniform
accounting policies for like transaction and other events in similar circumstances.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of ?nancials statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date
of the ?nancial statements and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reported year.
Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are
known / materialised.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction. They are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation / amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION
Depreciation on ?xed assets is provided on straight line basis in accordance with provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956 at the rates and in the manner speci?ed in schedule XIV of this Act except for the following ?xed assets
where higher rates of depreciation have been applied:
Studios and sets @ 33.33%
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amounts.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash ?ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal
at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
INVESTMENTS
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long term investments are carried at cost. However,
when there is a decline, other than temporary, the carrying amount is reduced to recognise the decline.
INVENTORIES
Items of inventory are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the following basis :
Tapes : First In First Out
Television serials/ feature ?lms : Average cost
Unamortised cost of feature ?lms /Content : The cost of feature ?lms is amortised in the ratio of current
revenue to expected total revenue. At the end of each
accounting period, balance unamortised cost is compared
with net expected revenue. If net expected revenue is less
than unamortised cost, the same is written down to net
expected revenue.

OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Within three years of its formal existence, Balaji Motion Pictures Limited (BMPL) has ?rmly established its place
among the topmost motion picture studios in the country.
The youngest and fastest growing entity in the business today, it has become synonymous with commercial
cutting edge cinematic content supported by aggressive and innovative marketing.
The studio has a number of award-winning and acclaimed box of?ce blockbusters to its credit with Once Upon A
Time In Mumbaai & Love Sex Aur Dhokha getting the ball rolling in 2010.
2011 saw the rapid emergence and success of Alt Entertainment, the brand which stands for new-age commercial
cinema with alternate sensibilities. Shor in the City, an urban drama, emerged as the most acclaimed ?lm of the
year, while Ragini MMS, a paranormal thriller made on a shoe-string budget, became the biggest sleeper hit. Alt’s
foray into regional cinema with its maiden State Award-winning Marathi co-production, Taryanche Bait, met with
an overwhelming response setting new box of?ce precedents. The year ended on a crescendo with the runaway
success of The Dirty Picture, unarguably, the most acclaimed, celebrated and discussed ?lm of the decade.
BMPL plans to release at least another three major productions before the ?nancial year end (March 31, 2013) and
?ve in the ?nancial year 2013-2014, indicative of the Company’s stupendous growth within a short span of time.

?nancial year, BMPL has reported pro?t of ` 882.79 Lacs, as against ` 232.35 Lacs for the previous ?scal.

of ?lms. Incorporated on March 9, 2007 under the Companies Act, 1956, the Company has in a short span managed
to establish itself as a serious contender in the business and has several critically and commercially acclaimed
projects to its credit.
NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The ?nancial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India, the Accounting Standard noti?ed under the
Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The ?nancial
statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Revised Schedule VI to the Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of ?nancials statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date
of the ?nancial statements and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reported year.
Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are
known / materialised.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction. They are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation on ?xed assets is provided on straight line basis in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act,
1956 at the rates and in the manner speci?ed in schedule XIV of the Act.
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amounts.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash ?ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal
at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
INVENTORIES
Items of inventory are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the following basis:
Films : Average Cost
Unamortised cost of ?lms : The cost of ?lms is amortised in the ratio of current revenue to expected total
revenue. At the end of each accounting period, balance unamortised cost is
compared with net expected revenue. If net expected revenue is less than
unamortised cost, the same is written down to net expected revenue.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In respect of ?lms, produced / co-produced / acquired, revenue is recognised in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the agreements on or after the ?rst theatrical release of the ?lms.
In other cases, revenue (income) is recognised when no signi?cant uncertainty as to its determination or realisation
exists.

Gratuity cum Life Assurance Policy from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Contributions are made to LIC in respect of gratuity based upon actuarial valuation done at the end of

are years of service and employee compensation. Gains and losses on changes in actuarial assumptions
are accounted in the pro?t and loss account.

for the period and reversal of timing differences of earlier years / period. Deferred tax assets are recognised only
to the extent that there is reasonable certainty, that suf?cient future income will be available except that the
deferred tax assets, in case there are unabsorbed depreciation and losses, are recognised if there is a virtual
certainty that suf?cient future taxable income will be available to realise the same.
PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of a past event, for
which it is probable that cash out?ow will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when the Company has a possible or present obligation where it is
not probable that an out?ow of resources will be required to settle it. Contingent assets are neither recognised

1. REASON FOR INADEQUATE PROFIT:
The TV content production industry has witnessed upheavals in the recent past. With the launch of new TV Channels,
Balaji’s dominance over the TV Industry was lessened as Channels turned to smaller producers on cost considerations. With
low barriers to entry in the TV content industry, the TV content production industry has become increasingly fragmented.

This has re?ected in the sharp drop of average realisations of Balaji and has reduced the volumes (in terms of production
hours) considerably.
2. STEPS TAKEN OR PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN FOR IMPROVEMENT:
Realising the change in the business environment and Given the tough conditions in the ?agship business of Television
content, the Company had re-positioned itself as a ‘Content House’ rather than as merely a Television production house. The
strategic intent behind this positioning was to leverage on the ‘Creative’ and ‘Production project management’ strengths of
the Company. Balaji has been making efforts to establish itself in alternative domains of the Media industry to secure its long
term future viz., Movies, Media education and content production on digital platforms. Almost all of these efforts towards
this goal in the last 4 years have proven successful and are on the right track. However, in this period of development, the
expenses especially overhead expenditure in the initial phases of these businesses, have been high.
This coupled with the falling topline and bottom-line in the TV business have resulted in signi?cant stress on the bottom-
line for the previous years. However, the management recognizes that these have been essential in view of the fact that
a stable platform for the future growth of the company has now been created. Though the future pro?tability is set to
improve, the changes would be gradually re?ected in the company ?nancials in the coming years.
3. EXCEPTED INCREASE IN PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITS IN MEASURABLE TERMS:
The outcome of the above efforts have been visible in the following achievements:
Establishment of the Movies business; Balaji is now a well-respected and credible ?lm studio. The company has produced
successful ?lms like LSD, Once Upon a time in Mumbai, Shor, Ragini MMS and the Dirty Picture. The Movies business is
expected to be the major growth driver of the company in the future years with the turnover possibly exceeding that of the
TV production business.
Establishment of ICE i.e. Institute of Creative Excellence and MobileArt, which both businesses have since been transferred
to a private equity fund in which Balaji has a signi?cant contribution as an anchor investor and sponsor.
The operational ef?ciency of the company has been improved signi?cantly and the results would be evident in the coming
year.
The above clearly indicates that a sound base and platform for the future growth of the company has been put ?rmly in
place. With the business models proven and in place in all the businesses that the company is involved in, the stage is set to
achieve an in?exion point in its growth life cycle in the coming years.

What works for Balaji in the dynamic
entertainment space?
The answer is: Differentiation works for us.
Difference in the way we think, the way we act and the way
we interpret the minds of the audience. The result is creative
expression that is refreshingly original and thought provoking
for an engaging entertainment experience.
We like to challenge ‘assumptions’ and that remains our core
strength. We will continue to celebrate diversity in India’s
Media and Entertainment (M&E) landscape, cutting across
language barriers, media platforms and geographies. We have
built a strong team of dedicated people with the experience
and expertise to pursue our strategy and our achievement is
the result of their efforts.

Established in 1994, Balaji Tele?lms Limited
(Balaji) has today emerged as one of the leading
entertainment houses in India. Since the
commencement of our journey, our compelling
and cutting-edge content has been the result of
our differentiated thinking and implementation.
We have set a benchmark in television
programming and were one of the ?rst
organisations to explore the prospects of Hindi
General Entertainment Channels (GEC) and
Regional GECs across India. We have successfully
produced over 15,000 hours of television content
in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and
Bengali entertainment genre.
Realising opportunities in the Indian movies
segment, we have forayed further into the
domain of motion pictures for the production
and distribution of ?lms. Within a short period
of time, we have established ourselves as a
serious player in Indian movies. Further, despite
being one of the youngest in the ?lms segment,
we are recognised amongst the top studios with
respect to ?lm production and distribution.

Vision
To consistently provide delightful and innovative entertainment experiences by engaging audience and
nurturing talent.
The Brands
The Balaji brand comprises traditional television
content and high pro?le Hindi feature ?lms.
ALT Entertainment represents a cutting-edge
youth-oriented brand, engaged in content
creation for a more urbane and younger
generation of viewers, across the spectrum of
India’s television and movies.
Values
Storytelling
Our stories and narratives have been shared
in every culture across the country to delight
our audience, with our content as means of
entertainment, education, cultural preservation
and instilling moral values.
Integrity
Our concept of consistency in actions, values,
measures and principles has promoted the
Company as highly ethical in all its dealings.
Excellence
We have always improved the standard of our performance and continue to raise the
benchmark for ourselves.
Passion
Our eager interest in delivering quality to our
audience has driven us to go that extra mile.
Compassion
We believe that the virtue of empathy is a
cornerstone of greater social inter-connection.
This has enabled us to understand and respect
individuals and work together as a great
uni?ed team.
Telling Different Stories
on Television
Our continuous focus on Indian television is evident
from the growing popularity of our programmes,
despite the economic turmoil. Engaging television
audience has always been challenging, and to
maintain TRP ratings, the shows must entertain
viewers regularly by providing addictive content. We
achieve this by leveraging our strengths in creative
content by understanding the need to provide fresh
concepts that help retain viewership. The new and
diverse storyline of our shows appeal to the Indian
population across varied age groups, income and
personality types. The versatility shown in our shows
like Pavitra Rishta (daily struggle of a middle class
family life), Bade Achche Lagte Hain (a mature love
story), Parichay (the ?ght of a common man for
survival) and Kya Hua Tera Vaada (emotional turmoil of
a young couple) continues to engage our viewers. Our
new show, Gumraah, is another landmark in television
programming. Based on juvenile crime, it is the ?rst of
its kind to be converted into a daily soap from a non-
GEC channel. Television continues to remain our focus
with eight to nine new shows in the pipeline. Not only
did we concentrate on the creative side, but also made
efforts to comply with the changing industry norms
and successfully moved towards HD programming to
enhance viewing experience.

Thinking Level-
next Movie Ideas
The uniqueness of our content remains our abiding strength. Our
content is completely focused on pure entertainment. On the other
hand, we broke the dominance of family movies with contemporary
concepts. We introduced adult comedy in Indian movies with Kya
Kool Hai Hum. The Dirty Picture is one of the boldest movies in India,
revolving around a female protagonist, high-lighting the rise and fall
in her career as an actress. The exclusive action, drama and thrill of
our movies have been able to cater to the contemporary audience,
who seek niche concepts.
We continue to focus on our marketing initiatives as the commercial
aspect of ?lmmaking is equally important. The success of our efforts
is evident from the public interest and acceptance of our movies. We
believe in identifying one big idea, followed by complete exploration
of the market. Our marketing plan begins from the inception of
the movie’s production and peaks out towards its end. The recent
success of Ragini MMS and The Dirty Picture highlight our innovative
marketing approach.
Ragini MMS introduced a completely new concept in ?lm
marketing, with teasers behind auto rickshaws. It further stirred
the audience’s interest by creating special ambience in public
locations and theatres
The Dirty Picture’s marketing initiatives began four months
prior to the release of the movie with a bold campaign. A
conference was organised at the Gaiety theatre to symbolise
the era and to create the mood. The initiatives spanned across
the regional markets, including small towns, in association with
local publishers

Today, Balaji stands on the threshold of a humongous
opportunity. An opportunity to leverage the
transformation of the M&E industry on the strength
of its innovative content creation and globally
benchmarked execution strategies. India’s M&E
sector is evolving like never before, and so is the
viewing preference of audience. The challenge is to
feel the pulse of the new-age audience, go back to
the drawing board, innovate aggressively and provide
him/her engaging entertainment with a difference.
Our creative expertise, technology focus and foresight
have enabled us to remain relevant in a dynamic
entertainment space, despite challenges.
The year witnessed reasonable application of the long-
promised digital ecosystem. Subsequently, Indian
movies have bene?ted from digital distribution with
wide releases and revenue accretion. The television
industry has grown via leveraging the rapidly evolving
segment of digital cable and HD channels. Growing
use of smart phones and tablets brought a seminal
transformation in entertainment, with proliferation
in the number of screens further impacting video
consumption patterns. The regional and rural media
is also on a growth trajectory, capitalising on the
increased number of television households and
growing consumption of Tier II and Tier III cities.
Overall, India’s M&E market is expanding steadily and
is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth
rate of 15 percent over the next ?ve years, to reach
` 1.4 trillion in 2016.
At Balaji, we have anticipated upcoming industry
opportunities. Our expertise and experience tell us
that while watching a programme, viewers are less
inclined towards social issues or controversies. We
follow one simple approach to engross them: we
deliver a complete entertainment package. Since the
beginning of our journey, entertaining viewers has
been our focal point. Leveraging our capabilities to
cater to the needs of the Indian audience, we are all
set to explore market opportunities. The last few years
witnessed a change in audience preferences. We have
always provided versatile content to address varied
demographics.
The Indian box of?ce registered commendable success
in the last few years. Yet, considering the number of
movies produced and number of tickets sold each year,
the box of?ce revenue still has remarkable growth
potential as ticket prices for Indian cinema is one
of the lowest in the world. To leverage the growing
possibilities of the Indian ?lm industry, we have
shifted dynamically from television content to movies.
The roaring success of our movies testi?es our strategy
of refreshing ideation and professional execution. We
also acknowledge the importance of talented and
skilled workforce to serve the entertainment industry.
We are putting our best foot forward to create a
healthy and professionalised work environment and
nurture the potential of our human assets.
We are optimistic about the journey ahead and
consider challenges as a necessary part of the growth
trajectory. Balaji has overcome challenges on the
strength of its passion to entertain diverse audience
and an ability to foresee industry evolution. I would like
to thank all our investors, business partners, viewers
and all the members of the Balaji family for supporting
us during tough times and seek their participation in
our journey forward.
Warm regards,
Chairman

At Balaji, Fiscal 2011-12 has been a year of
metamorphosis. The preceding three years have been
tough for Balaji with historically low realisations
and declining volumes for television content
production. However, this period has also been
one of ‘introspection’ on Balaji’s identity and of
strategic ‘action’.
Balaji took the patient and arduous route to become
a ?lm studio. It has worked through the slowdown to
create a distinct identity for itself, both in television
production through its eclectic content offering as
well as in the ?lm domain, wherein it has come to be
recognised as a serious and credible studio.
We have accepted the hurdles in the right spirit to
carve our own niche in the entertainment space. We
have identi?ed the ideal requirements and focused on
them – be it innovative content, creative marketing
or resource strength, which, I am proud to say, have
established Balaji Tele?lms as a mature, determined
and responsive organisation in the dynamic
M&E space.
In television production, the focus has been on
providing a diverse offering across all the GECs to
match up with the evolving audience tastes – the
success of Bade Acche Lagte Hain being a case in
point. Nurturing and encouraging talent to create
superior content continues the show; Gumraah offers
a testimony to this. We have slowly seen an uptick in
the number of programming hours, which we expect
to be consistent and growing in future. Operational
ef?ciencies continue to provide us with opportunities
and we believe that we have managed to achieve a
satisfactory level of excellence. This has been possible
by making the optimum and innovative utilisation
of our existing sets, which continue to remain our
strong USP, and by an effective management reporting
system, which enables us to continuously monitor and
control costs.
In ?lm content, we have a healthy pipeline of releases.
We are focusing our efforts in the current year for
creating robust releases for 2013-14 and 2014-15. The
success of our past ?lms including LSD, Once Upon a
Time in Mumbaai, Ragini MMS and Shor in the City as
well as the resounding success of The Dirty Picture,
has given us a platform of credibility and respect in
the industry, and it is this platform, which will create a
foundation for our future growth.
Not taking recourse to the ‘acquisition’ strategy, we
have preferred to drive our growth through the dif?cult
(but pro?table) method of in-house productions, as
well as through co-productions with reputed ?lm
makers on exciting scripts. These scripts we believe can
achieve the tough standards of cinematic excellence
and pass the litmus test of audience acceptance.
On the operational side of ?lm production, we have
adopted the practice of cost control through strict
monitoring and effective benchmarking. This enables
us to manage costs and take informed decisions
without compromising on the quality of production.
While the results in the past year have not lived up
to our expectations, given the challenging business
environment, we believe we are on the threshold of
a pro?table change in our operations – both in the
?lm and television domains. Our commitment to
stakeholder expectations will help us emerge as a
more powerful, ?exible and diverse national brand.
Warm Regards,
Managing Director

The only certain reality of the Indian entertainment
industry is the continuous demand for unique
entertainment and the willingness of the audience to
pay a premium for it. Our core strength is our ability to
think different, think beyond and not be a victim of the
‘trend mentality’. We have been known as trendsetters
in content creation in the television and movies space.
Soon after the commencement of our journey, we
helped Hindi GECs to reach the mass media through
our legendary shows. Our simple yet engrossing
content turned our protagonists into household
names. The talent we introduced has moved on to
making ?ourishing careers for themselves. Balaji
has also considered the aspiration of today’s young
and new-age audience, and embraced contemporary
content. Our extended reach to the Regional GECs
demonstrated our ability to take on further challenges.
To be successful on this front, it is important to have
an emotional connect with the people and culture of
the respective region.
The drive to innovate delivered additional success
in FY 2012, a landmark year for the Company. The
Dirty Picture emerged as the most celebrated ?lm
of the decade, and inarguably, a compelling and
supremely powerful cinematic brand. The award-
winning movie broke conventional industry myths
and restored the position of the female protagonist
in Indian cinema. Some of our small budget movies
like Shor in the City and Ragini MMS bagged incredible
acclaim and re-endorsed our standing as a creator
of alternative, cutting-edge content. The success of
the State award winning Marathi ?lm, Taaryanche
Bait, further emphasised our capability to create
different movies.
Balaji has become synonymous with creative
and innovative marketing in order to generate
widespread public interest. The pre-release marketing
campaigns for our ?lms became Case Studies for
the industry to emulate, besides creating strong
audience anticipation.
This is a proud moment for Balaji as we are the only
organisation with signi?cant success in both ?lms and
television. In fact, our swift success in the ?lms space
came as a surprise to many, and for that, I have the
passion and diligence of my team to thank.
We have emerged as a magnet to attract industry-
relevant talent, and are hopeful of continuing our
journey of creation. We have a plethora of projects in
the pipeline, which promise to be just as engaging and
entertaining as the ones you have seen. We believe
that the coming years are going to be increasingly
exciting, as we explore new territories and make
new conquests in the dynamic world of Media
and Entertainment.
Warm Regards,
Joint Managing Director

1. ECONOMIC REVIEW
2011-12 was a challenging year across the global economic and political spectrum: sluggish economic growth,
?fth consecutive year of recession in Greece, political instability across the Middle East and North Africa,
deepening European crisis and a fragile US recovery. The liquidity infusions by the European Central Bank (ECB)
have considerably improved the global ?nancial markets. Nevertheless, an acceptable solution to the euro-zone
crisis is still not in sight. The emerging economies are also witnessing slowdown, largely due to the trickledown
effect of the global slowdown, and domestic pressures. The World Bank has predicted a modest global GDP growth
of 2.5 percent in 2012, increasing to 3 percent in 2013 and 3.3 percent in 2014
The global turbulence has predictably, impacted India’s economic performance as well. The domestic economy
witnessed 6.5 percent growth in FY 2011-12, the lowest in nine years. Tight monetary control measures, high
in?ation, increasing fuel cost, growing ?scal de?cit, slow infrastructure investments, contracting exports and
imports and weakening rupee further arrested growth.
However, the long-term economic prospects appear bright, compared to most countries of the world. The World
Bank has marginally raised India’s growth forecast for 2012-13 to 6.9 percent, from its January estimate of 6.8
percent.

2. GLOBAL MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY REVIEW
The Media & Entertainment industry comprises the creation, aggregation, and distribution of content, news and
information, advertising, and entertainment through various media channels and platforms. The global M&E
industry is highly fragmented, with North America dominating the market. Asia Paci?c (APAC), Latin America, and
the Middle East are anticipated to develop rapidly, with APAC expected to witness the highest growth during the
next ?ve years, i.e. 2012–2017. Internet-based entertainment is gaining importance quite rapidly. It is projected to
grow in double digits, and account for 10 percent of overall global industry growth in the next six years. Concisely,
the market holds signi?cant opportunities and it is expected to reach approximately US$1,289 Billion in 2017
with a CAGR of 5 percent during 2012–2017.

3. INDIAN MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
The recent ?scal has been a vibrant year for the Indian Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry. The industry has
progressed considerably leveraging the dynamic consumer preferences towards niche content, digital delivery
platforms, evolving business models and changing regulations. The year witnessed robust growth in advertising
in the ?rst half, and rather muted in the second. The highly anticipated digital ecosystem showcased its impact in
various segments. The ?lm segment also witnessed new means of distribution via digitalisation with regards to
Cable & Satellite (C&S) and music.
Backed by a strong consumption especially in Tier II and Tier III cities, continual regional media development and
fast growing new media businesses, the Indian M&E industry grew to ` 728 Billion in 2011. The growth of the
industry is expected to be about 13 percent, to reach ` 823 Billion in 2012. Going forward, the sector is estimated
to grow at a healthy CAGR of 14.9 percent to reach ` 1,457 Billion by 2016.
Television remains the leading medium in the sector. Sectors such as animation, VFX, digital advertising and
gaming are growing their share of the market rapidly. Advertising spends across all media witnessed 41 percent
growth in 2011, compared to the previous ?scal. Advertising revenues registered a growth of 13 percent in 2011
against 17 percent observed in 2010.

3.1 Key industry trends
3.1.1 Proliferation of new age user devices
The proliferation of various entertainment platforms has made media consumption more personal than ever.
Smart phones, tablets, PCs, and gaming devices are gradually in?uencing content creation and distribution.
Multiple media including TV, ?lms, news, radio, music etc are being impacted with this change.
3.1.2 New age consumers
With India’s growing young population, there is a greater need for integration and innovation across traditional
and new media platforms. The recent introduction of 3G and high bandwidth data networks have enabled
consumers to subscribe to customised digital content. Digital formats have provided a platform to deliver content
over mobile phones, tablets and other forms of portable computers and devices to meet the demand. The industry
perceives changes in media consumption habits and increased inclinations for niche content, and has begun
providing additional and greater touch points to engage with audience.
3.1.3 Emergence of regional markets
The regional entertainment industry has been on a sustained growth trajectory primarily on account of increased
regional income and consumption. National advertisers are looking at leveraging these markets as prime
mediums, and increase their footprint. Local advertisers are also focusing on the regional media realising the
bene?ts of marketing their products. Film studios and funds have already showcased their interest by investing
in regional cinema.
3.1.4 Continued dependency on advertising revenue
Advertising revenue is still the main stream of income for the Indian M&E industry as the ARPU for television and
average ticket price for ?lms continue to be low, owing to intense competition.
3.1.5 Growth of the Music industry
The Indian music industry achieved revenues of ` 9 Billion in 2011, registering 5 percent growth over 2010. The
industry witnessed a 19 percent Y-o-Y decline in sales of physical music, which was compensated by signi?cant
jump of 24 percent Y-o-Y in digital music consumed. While 2010 was the year of structural shift from physical
formats to digital ones, 2011 provided users viable options of music consumption through different digital
platforms such as pay per download, unlimited music streaming and subscription based music services.
3.1.6 Regulatory shifts
There have been signi?cant changes in the regulatory front in the past few years. The implementation of the
recently enacted regulation on digitisation for cable impacts the industry considerably. Implementation of Phase
3 and the roll out of 4G will further affect the industry.

3.2 Indian Television Industry
In terms of revenue, television remains the largest medium for media delivery, representing around 45 percent
of the total industry turnover. India continues to be the third largest TV market after USA and China, with 146
Million television households. C&S penetration of television households currently stands at 80 percent of the
total households, with DTH driving a signi?cant part of the growth in the last 12 months. In the near horizon,
digitisation of all analog cable subscribers will promote the penetration level of digital households. The over-all
television industry size was estimated to be ` 329 Billion in 2011, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17 percent
over 2011-16, reaching ` 735 Billion in 2016.
The share of subscription to the total industry revenue is expected to increase from 65 percent in 2011 to 69
percent in 2016. The total number of TV channels in India has gone up to 623 in 2011, and a number of channels
are anticipating approvals for broadcast. The industry currently witnesses a robust demand for satellite bandwidth
with the introduction of HD channels, DTH expansion and new channel launches. This leads to delivering
customised content based on a consumer’s spending capability in the near future.

3.2.1.2 Increased television sales
Sales of new TV sets have been on a rise in India. It was estimated to be approximately 17 Million in 2011. Since
2005, India has added 12-16 Million TV sets every year. Owing to rising Indian middle class, growing per capita
income and newer television sets with superior technologies, the trend is expected to continue.
3.2.1.3 Increased C&S penetration
During 2011, the number of C&S households has grown by 11 Million to reach 119 Million in India. Of the total TV
households, C&S penetration has increased to 81 percent in 2011 from 78 percent in 2010. In the coming years,
demand for C&S is expected to be driven by consumer demand for content beyond free to air channels, combined
with the relatively low ARPUs in India.
By 2016, the number of C&S households is estimated to reach approximately 176 Million of which paid C&S
households is estimated to be 168 Million households, representing a 89 percent of total TV households.

3.2.1.5 Untapped market in advertising
Currently in India, a large number of advertisers are still using only the print platform. However newer and
more effective mediums are gaining prominence. As the industry depends primarily on advertisement revenues,
emergence of newer platforms provides ample growth prospects.

3.2.1.6 Digitisation opportunities
The Indian cable television industry is transforming to the Digital Addressable System (DAS) for television
distribution. Under DAS regime, cable operators would be legally bound to transmit only digital signals. Subscribed
channels can be received at the customer’s premises only through a set-top-box equipped with a conditional
access card, and a Subscriber Management System (SMS). In a nut-shell, each user in the network would be
uniquely identi?able to the service provider.
The consumer on account of digital television is expected to gain access to a higher number of TV channels along
with customised tariffs, availability of broadband and other value-added-services leading to an enhanced user
experience through better viewing quality and consumer service.

3.3 Indian Film Industry
The resurgence of Hindi movies with mass connect backed by improved content quality has bene?tted occupancy
rates in 2011, which in turn increased domestic box-of?ce collections. The estimated market size of the Indian
?lm industry stood at around ` 93 Billion in 2011, registering a growth of 11.5 percent as compared to 2010.
Competitive bidding by broadcasters for large budget ?lms resulted in 26 percent growth of Cable and Satellite
rights. Ancillary revenues (such as licensing and merchandising, in-cinema advertising and pay per view) which
are yet less signi?cant with respect to size and scale, have also displayed strong growth in 2011. The Home video
segment was the only exception to the growth trend with most ?lmmakers ceasing to consider this as a major
line-item in their revenue estimations.
With several upcoming high budget Hindi releases, year 2012 is expected to sustain the growth momentum
witnessed in 2011. The Indian ?lm industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.1 percent to touch `150 Billion in
2016. The dominance of domestic theatrical revenues in the ?lm industry is expected to sustain. The market share
of C&S rights and overseas theatricals revenues are also increasing as strong marketing initiatives for ?lms in the
International market may further accelerate the growth of theatrical revenues overseas.

3.3.1 Distribution landscape
Larger ?lm budgets supported by aggressive marketing campaigns and promotional tactics are gaining
importance. With growing importance of local presence, there are larger opportunities for producers to unlock
the complete potential of a given geography.
In 2011, commercial success ratio of ?lms remains roughly 15 percent to 17 percent. While small budget ?lms
continue to struggle for screen space, the number of domestic and international screens for big budget ?lms has
more than doubled. Medium budget ?lms have also observed steady growth with regards to domestic screens.
The industry expects this number to increase further.

3.3.2 Growth drivers
3.3.2.1 Growing multiplexes
The growth of multiplex chains continued through 2011. Despite representing less than 15 percent of the total
screens in India, multiplex screens in 2011 accounted for a third of the total box of?ce collections. Despite the
overall surge in multiplexes across Tier I cities, urban centers are still away from saturation. Moreover, the growing
number of multiplexes in Tier I and Tier II cities will further enhance growth. The industry is expected to double
the multiplex screens over the next few years to over 2,200 screens in 2016 indicating a CAGR of 20.28 percent.
3.3.2.2 Upsurge in ?lm advertising
In past few years, there is a marked improvement in transparency of ticket sales in India. This can be mainly
attributed to the superior processes and systems introduced by multiplex chains and the digitisation of theaters
and prints. These, in turn, have increased the adoption of cinema advertising in India. The cinema advertising
market has grown at a robust 18 percent in 2011 to reach ` 140 Crores. Advertising revenue is expected to
contribute to 30 percent of total digital cinema revenue this year as compared to 24 percent in the last ?nancial
year. Cinema advertising is projected to account approximately 40 percent of revenue for digital cinema providers
in the coming years.
3.3.2.3 New opportunities in regional cinema
Regional ?lm industry has come a long way since the past few years. Besides the incremental growth of South
Indian cinema, the industry has witnessed growth in Marathi, Bengali and Punjabi cinema. Multiplexes have
started experimenting with regional movies in the last few years. Regional movies are also exploring opportunities
in the International market. Though the growth of regional ?lms is not uniform across all the languages, there are
encouraging signs of growth in the near future.

3.4 Opportunities of Indian M&E Industry
3.4.1 The HD growth curve
Broadcasters and DTH players have expanded their HD offerings this year due to a rising demand for high end
LCD and Plasma TV which are estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 22 percent over 2011 to 2015. With rising
incomes and changing demography’s consumers are looking for a better television viewing experience and
are willing to pay a premium to subscribe to HD channels. It is estimated that approximately 7 to 8 percent of
new DTH subscribers are opting for HD packages and the trend has gone beyond speci?c events like sports and
movies for HD channels amongst consumers. There are approximately 30 channels available in HD today in GEC,
Infotainment and lifestyle apart from movies and sports genres. Growing subscription for HD channels could lead
to increase in ARPUs providing a subscription revenue boost to distributors and broadcasters.
3.4.2 Early monetisation
With increased piracy, reduced theatre to TV window and limited screen space at multiplexes, producers are
focusing to monetise on a ?lm as early as possible. It works for the distributors as well, since the increased total
outlays lead to an urgent need to recover and rotate cash ?ows. Until a few years ago, 1000+ prints were considered
adequate for large budget ?lms. However, in the recent times, the number of domestic prints for large budget
?lms has tripled to 3000+. Industry sources believe that this number will continue to rise, further enhancing the
growth opportunities of the ?lm industry.
3.4.3 Growing pre-release cost recovery
Subject to the genre and star-cast of the ?lm, studios are able to recover anywhere between 40-80 percent of
their production costs before the ?lm is released. Rights for cable and satellite, music, home video and select
merchandising are sold prior to release of the ?lm in theatres. In select cases, even overseas rights are sold
upfront. Reduced dependence on box of?ce collections to recover the cost has mitigated the risk associated with
the business for production houses and provides an upfront return much before the actual release date which is
comforting for production houses.
3.4.4 Rising overseas contribution
While the US, UK and Middle East continue to account for the bulk of overseas revenues, studios continue to
explore newer markets like South Korea, Western Europe, Taiwan and Africa for Hindi ?lms which are witnessing
rising Indian populations. The contribution of overseas revenue from the total ?lms’ revenue is expected to rise
to 40 percent from its current levels of 10-15 percent. Growth will be driven by marketing campaign, increased
penetration in existing areas apart from newer markets.

3.5 Challenges of the Indian M&E industry
3.5. 1 Slowdown of advertising revenues
A slowdown in the global and domestic economy during 2011 has considerably impacted the television
broadcasting industry leading to pressure on advertising rates. It resulted in a lower than expected advertising
revenues, especially during the second half of the year. The total TV advertising market has increased around 12
percent in 2011, lower than 15 percent of the previous ?scal.
3.5.2 Cannibalisation
Cricket World Cup and IPL (to a lesser extent) almost blacked out a wide four month period from February to
May in 2011. Events like these capture the consumers’ attention and result in fewer weekends available for ?lm
releases. Consequently, only about 40 weekends were available for ?lm releases in 2011 which led to 7-10 ?lms
aggressively struggling for screen space.
3.5.3 Unfavorable tax regime
India is a severely under-screened market (12 compared to 31, 81 and 131 in China, Europe and USA respectively).
Attempts have been made to improve the situation, however the process is capital and time intensive. Further,
the returns on investment cycles are affected by higher real estate prices and stagnant occupancy rates. Also the
average ticket prices (ATP) are still beyond the purchasing power of common man coupled with tax multiplicity;
increased service tax of 12.6 percent which further affects the scenario.
3.5.4 Lack of quality shooting infrastructure
Despite being a huge ?lm-producing nation, there are only four major ?lm cities in the country (Mumbai,
Hyderabad, Noida and Chennai). It results in reduced option available for shooting. Each of the cities faces pressure
due to a rapid growth in broadcast and advertising requirements. On a daily basis, there is a demand-supply gap of
10,059 studio ?oors in Mumbai alone which has the potential for absorbing additional ?oor space. However, high
real estate price has made this option increasingly unviable.

4.3 Risk management
Risk Mitigation
Increased competition affecting the bargaining
power of the Company with channels.
Over the years, Balaji has established itself as one of the
leaders in Hindi GECs and enjoys strong brand recognition
with considerable premium. The creative output of the
Company ensures a larger show life and automates
premium valuation.
Uncertainties in Government policies The Company thoroughly keeps track of the changing
regulations to comply with all the statutory requirements.

region may affect the pro?tability of the
Company.
Balaji has a diversi?ed business portfolio including movies,
mobile and internet market, apart from the television
content. Moreover, it has a strong presence across 5 Hindi
GECs and it is diversifying its presence in the regional
markets.
Shift in the entertainment preference of the
audience may have detrimental effect on the
bottom-line.
The talent pool of the Company is creating original concept
and contents for television and ?lms to match with changing
customer preferences.
Retention of the talent pool is one of the major
concerns of the Company.
The brand name of Balaji has always managed to attract
and retain superior talent from the industry.
4.4 Future outlook
Over the years, Balaji Tele?lms has emerged as one of the key players in Indian M&E industry. To capitalise the
future growth opportunities in television and ?lm market, the Company is strategically positioning itself in the
market. With increasing demand of creative and niche content in television and movies, there is higher focus on
creating original and diverse show content to retain the leadership position. The Company already has a strong
presence in Hindi GECs. Further, it is also expanding network on the regional GECs to leverage on the increasing
opportunities in regional markets. After huge success of the movie segment in the previous ?scal, the Company
continues developing and nurturing talent to generate superior script and ?lm content. Moreover, it has also
focused on increasing the distribution capabilities and marketing of the ?lms. All inclusive, the Company is poised
to retain its growth and it will further leverage the tremendous opportunities of the M & E industry.

The studio has a number of award-winning and acclaimed box of?ce blockbusters to its credit. Once Upon A Time
in Mumbaai and Love Sex aur Dhokha set the ball rolling in 2010. With four releases, 2011 saw the rapid emergence
of Alt Entertainment, BMPL’s alternate brand, which stands for new-age cinema with alternate sensibilities. Shor

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Energy conservation measures taken by the Company
Our operations are not energy intensive. However, signi?cant measures are taken to reduce energy consumption
by using energy-ef?cient computers and by purchasing energy-ef?cient equipment. We purchase computers,
laptops, air conditioners etc. that meet environmental standards, wherever possible, and regularly upgrade old
equipment with more energy-ef?cient equipment. Currently, we use CFL ?xtures to reduce the power consumption
in the illumination system.
Additional investments and proposals, if any, being implemented for reduction of consumption of energy
We regularly conduct a survey of our existing infrastructure and assess the need to adopt newer energy ef?cient
technologies.
Impact of the measures and consequent impact on the cost of production of goods
Energy costs comprise a miniscule part of our total expenditure and the ?nancial impact of these measures is not
material.
Total energy consumption
Since the Company does not form part of the list of industries speci?ed in the schedule, the same is not applicable
to the Company.
TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION
The Company’s research and development initiative mainly consists of ideation of new subjects for our content
production business, which are used in the creation of new storyline and tracks. The expenses incurred on such
initiatives are not practically quanti?able.
The Company is an integrated player in the entertainment industry and our business is such that there is
limited scope for new technology absorption, adaptation and innovation. However, the Company uses the latest
technology, wherever possible to deliver superior production value, as a regular process.

There was no foreign exchange earnings and the foreign exchange outgo is ` 102.89 Lacs, as given in Point 23.8 in

RE: BALAJI TELEFILMS LIMITED
(Referred to in Paragraph 3 of our report of even date)
i) Having nature of the Company's activities are such that clauses (xiii) and (xiv) of paragraph 4 of the Companies
(Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 are not applicable to the Company for the year.
ii) a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and
situation of the ?xed assets.
b) As per information and explanations given to us, ?xed assets have not been veri?ed by the management
during the year. Accordingly, we are unable to comment on material discrepancies if any, which could
result on completion of the physical veri?cation exercise.
c) The ?xed assets disposed off during the year, in our opinion, do not constitute a substantial part of the
?xed assets of the Company and such disposal has, in our opinion, not affected the going concern status
of the Company.
iii) a) The inventories (tapes) have been physically veri?ed during the year by the management. In our opinion, the
frequency of veri?cation is reasonable.
b) The procedures of physical veri?cation of inventories (tapes) followed by the management are reasonable
and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventories (tapes). The discrepancies noticed on veri?cation
between the physical stocks and book records were not material.
iv) a) The Company has granted interest free unsecured loans aggregating ` 4,696.78 Lacs to its wholly owned
subsidiary covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. At the year-
end, the outstanding balances of such loans aggregated ` 3,991.67 Lacs and the maximum amount
involved during the year was ` 5,042.14 Lacs.
b) In our opinion, the terms and conditions of the loan given are not, prima facie, prejudicial to the interests
of the Company.
c) According to information and explanations given to us, since there are no repayment schedules with
regard to the loans given, clause (iii) (c) to (d) of paragraph 4 of Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003
are not applicable to the Company.
d) The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured from companies, ?rms or other parties
covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. Hence, clause (iii) (e) to
(g) of paragraph 4 of Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 is not applicable to the Company.
v) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there is an adequate internal
control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business with regard to
purchases of inventory, ?xed assets and with regard to the sale of goods and services. During the course of
our audit, we have not observed any continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in such internal control
system.
vi) In respect of contracts or arrangements entered in the Register maintained in pursuance of Section 301 of
the Companies Act, 1956, to the best of our knowledge and belief and according to the information and
explanations given to us:
a) The particulars of contracts or arrangements referred to Section 301 that needed to be entered in the
Register maintained under the said Section have been so entered.
b) Where each of such transaction is in excess of ` 5 Lacs in respect of any party, the transactions have been
made at prices which are prima facie reasonable having regard to the prevailing market prices at the
relevant time where such market prices are available with the Company.
vii) The Company has not accepted any deposit from the public.
viii) In our opinion, the internal audit functions carried out during the year by a ?rm of Chartered Accountants
appointed by the management have been commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
business.
xi) We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the Company pursuant to the Rules made by
the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under Section 209(1)(d) of the Companies Act,
1956 and we are of the opinion that prima facie the prescribed accounts and records have been made and
maintained. We have, however, not made a detailed examination of the records.

content production houses in India. With its footprint established in the hindi speaking market, it has now
extended into the regional entertainment markets. With a library of over 100 televison shows, Balaji has also

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The ?nancial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India, the Accounting Standard noti?ed under the
Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The ?nancial
statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Revised Schedule VI to the Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of ?nancials statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date
of the ?nancial statements and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reported year.
Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are
known / materialised.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction. They are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation / amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION
Depreciation on ?xed assets is provided on straight line basis in accordance with provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956 at the rates and in the manner speci?ed in schedule XIV of this Act except for the following ?xed assets
which are depreciated as per management estimates of their useful life which are as under:
Studios and sets @ 33.33%
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amounts.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash ?ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal
at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
INVESTMENTS
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long term investments are carried at cost. However,
when there is a decline, other than temporary, the carrying amount is reduced to recognise the decline.
INVENTORIES
Items of inventory are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the following basis :
Tapes : First In First Out
Television serials : Average cost
Unamortised cost of content : The cost of content is amortised in the ratio of current revenue to
expected total revenue. At the end of each accounting period, balance
unamortised cost is compared with net expected revenue. If net expected
revenue is less than unamortised cost, the same is written down to net
expected revenue.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
a) In respect of sponsored programmes, revenue is recognised as and when the relevant episodes of the
programmes are telecast.

b) In respect of commissioned programmes, revenue is recognised as and when the relevant episodes of the
programmes are delivered to the channels.
In all other cases, revenue (income) is recognised when no signi?cant uncertainty as to its determination or
realisation exists.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
a) Post employment bene?ts and other long term bene?ts
i) De?ned Contribution Plans
The Company contributes towards Provident Fund and Family Pension Fund. Liability in respect thereof is
determined on the basis of contribution as required under the Statue / Rules.
ii) De?ned Bene?t Plans
The trustees of Balaji Tele?lms Limited Employees Group Gratuity Scheme have taken a Group Gratuity
cum Life Assurance Policy from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Contributions are made to LIC in respect of gratuity based upon actuarial valuation done at the end of every
?nancial year using ‘Projected Unit Credit Method’ Major drivers in actuarial assumptions, typically, are years
of service and employee compensation. Gains and losses on changes in actuarial assumptions are accounted
in the pro?t and loss account.
b) Short Term Employee Bene?ts
Short term employee bene?ts are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the pro?t and loss
account of the year in which the related service is rendered.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the original rates of exchange in force at the time the transactions
are effected. At the year end, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are reported using the closing
rates of exchange. Exchange differences arising thereon and on realisation / payment of foreign exchange are
accounted in the relevant year as income or expense.
BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are
capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
OPERATING LEASES
Assets taken on lease under which, all the risks and rewards of the ownership are effectively retained by the lessor
are classi?ed as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as expenses in accordance
with the respective lease agreements.
TAXES ON INCOME
Tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to / recovered from the tax authorities, using the
applicable tax rates.
Deferred income tax re?ect the current period timing differences between taxable income and accounting income
for the period and reversal of timing differences of earlier years / period. Deferred tax assets are recognised only
to the extent that there is reasonable certainty, that suf?cient future income will be available except that the
deferred tax assets, in case there are unabsorbed depreciation and losses, are recognised if there is a virtual
certainty that suf?cient future taxable income will be available to realise the same.
PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of a past event, for
which it is probable that cash out?ow will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when the Company has a possible or present obligation where it is
not probable that an out?ow of resources will be required to settle it. Contingent assets are neither recognised
nor disclosed.

under the Micro, Small and Medium enterprises Development Act, 2006. Accordingly, disclosure as required
by the said Act is given in Note 5.

Limited (BMPL) at cost of ` 3,000 Lacs. Further, the Company has also given loans and advances aggregating
to ` 4,696.78 Lacs (previous year ` 1,567.44 Lacs) to BMPL. As per the latest audited balance sheet of BMPL

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES ON ACCOUNTS
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Balaji Tele?lms Limited (BTL/Parent Company) and
its Balaji Motion Pictures Limited (Subsidiary) as aforesaid (hereinafter together referred as “the group”), have
been prepared to comply in all material aspects with applicable accounting principles in India, the Accounting
Standards (AS) noti?ed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006. The ?nancial statements of the
subsidiary used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Parent Company
namely March 31, 2012. The ?nancial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Revised
Schedule VI to the Act.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The ?nancial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiary have been consolidated on a line by line basis
by adding together the book value of like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, after eliminating intra –
group transactions and any unrealised gain or losses on the balances remaining within the group in accordance
with the Accounting Standard 21 on “Consolidated Financial Statements” (AS-21).
The ?nancial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiary have been consolidated using uniform
accounting policies for like transaction and other events in similar circumstances.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of ?nancials statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date
of the ?nancial statements and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reported year.
Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are
known / materialised.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction. They are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation / amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION
Depreciation on ?xed assets is provided on straight line basis in accordance with provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956 at the rates and in the manner speci?ed in schedule XIV of this Act except for the following ?xed assets
where higher rates of depreciation have been applied:
Studios and sets @ 33.33%
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amounts.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash ?ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal
at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
INVESTMENTS
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long term investments are carried at cost. However,
when there is a decline, other than temporary, the carrying amount is reduced to recognise the decline.
INVENTORIES
Items of inventory are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the following basis :
Tapes : First In First Out
Television serials/ feature ?lms : Average cost
Unamortised cost of feature ?lms /Content : The cost of feature ?lms is amortised in the ratio of current
revenue to expected total revenue. At the end of each
accounting period, balance unamortised cost is compared
with net expected revenue. If net expected revenue is less
than unamortised cost, the same is written down to net
expected revenue.

OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Within three years of its formal existence, Balaji Motion Pictures Limited (BMPL) has ?rmly established its place
among the topmost motion picture studios in the country.
The youngest and fastest growing entity in the business today, it has become synonymous with commercial
cutting edge cinematic content supported by aggressive and innovative marketing.
The studio has a number of award-winning and acclaimed box of?ce blockbusters to its credit with Once Upon A
Time In Mumbaai & Love Sex Aur Dhokha getting the ball rolling in 2010.
2011 saw the rapid emergence and success of Alt Entertainment, the brand which stands for new-age commercial
cinema with alternate sensibilities. Shor in the City, an urban drama, emerged as the most acclaimed ?lm of the
year, while Ragini MMS, a paranormal thriller made on a shoe-string budget, became the biggest sleeper hit. Alt’s
foray into regional cinema with its maiden State Award-winning Marathi co-production, Taryanche Bait, met with
an overwhelming response setting new box of?ce precedents. The year ended on a crescendo with the runaway
success of The Dirty Picture, unarguably, the most acclaimed, celebrated and discussed ?lm of the decade.
BMPL plans to release at least another three major productions before the ?nancial year end (March 31, 2013) and
?ve in the ?nancial year 2013-2014, indicative of the Company’s stupendous growth within a short span of time.
BMPL achieved a turnover of ` 5,845.50 Lacs as against ` 4,169.70 Lacs during the previous ?scal. In the current
?nancial year, BMPL has reported pro?t of ` 882.79 Lacs, as against ` 232.35 Lacs for the previous ?scal.

to establish itself as a serious contender in the business and has several critically and commercially acclaimed
projects to its credit.
NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The ?nancial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India, the Accounting Standard noti?ed under the
Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The ?nancial
statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Revised Schedule VI to the Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of ?nancials statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date
of the ?nancial statements and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reported year.
Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are
known / materialised.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction. They are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation on ?xed assets is provided on straight line basis in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act,
1956 at the rates and in the manner speci?ed in schedule XIV of the Act.
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amounts.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash ?ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal
at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
INVENTORIES
Items of inventory are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the following basis:
Films : Average Cost
Unamortised cost of ?lms : The cost of ?lms is amortised in the ratio of current revenue to expected total
revenue. At the end of each accounting period, balance unamortised cost is
compared with net expected revenue. If net expected revenue is less than
unamortised cost, the same is written down to net expected revenue.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In respect of ?lms, produced / co-produced / acquired, revenue is recognised in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the agreements on or after the ?rst theatrical release of the ?lms.
In other cases, revenue (income) is recognised when no signi?cant uncertainty as to its determination or realisation
exists.

deferred tax assets, in case there are unabsorbed depreciation and losses, are recognised if there is a virtual
certainty that suf?cient future taxable income will be available to realise the same.

III: OTHER INFORMATION:
1. REASON FOR INADEQUATE PROFIT:
The TV content production industry has witnessed upheavals in the recent past. With the launch of new TV Channels,
Balaji’s dominance over the TV Industry was lessened as Channels turned to smaller producers on cost considerations. With
low barriers to entry in the TV content industry, the TV content production industry has become increasingly fragmented.

This has re?ected in the sharp drop of average realisations of Balaji and has reduced the volumes (in terms of production
hours) considerably.
2. STEPS TAKEN OR PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN FOR IMPROVEMENT:
Realising the change in the business environment and Given the tough conditions in the ?agship business of Television
content, the Company had re-positioned itself as a ‘Content House’ rather than as merely a Television production house. The
strategic intent behind this positioning was to leverage on the ‘Creative’ and ‘Production project management’ strengths of
the Company. Balaji has been making efforts to establish itself in alternative domains of the Media industry to secure its long
term future viz., Movies, Media education and content production on digital platforms. Almost all of these efforts towards
this goal in the last 4 years have proven successful and are on the right track. However, in this period of development, the
expenses especially overhead expenditure in the initial phases of these businesses, have been high.
This coupled with the falling topline and bottom-line in the TV business have resulted in signi?cant stress on the bottom-
line for the previous years. However, the management recognizes that these have been essential in view of the fact that
a stable platform for the future growth of the company has now been created. Though the future pro?tability is set to
improve, the changes would be gradually re?ected in the company ?nancials in the coming years.
3. EXCEPTED INCREASE IN PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITS IN MEASURABLE TERMS:
The outcome of the above efforts have been visible in the following achievements:
Establishment of the Movies business; Balaji is now a well-respected and credible ?lm studio. The company has produced
successful ?lms like LSD, Once Upon a time in Mumbai, Shor, Ragini MMS and the Dirty Picture. The Movies business is
expected to be the major growth driver of the company in the future years with the turnover possibly exceeding that of the
TV production business.
Establishment of ICE i.e. Institute of Creative Excellence and MobileArt, which both businesses have since been transferred
to a private equity fund in which Balaji has a signi?cant contribution as an anchor investor and sponsor.
The operational ef?ciency of the company has been improved signi?cantly and the results would be evident in the coming
year.
The above clearly indicates that a sound base and platform for the future growth of the company has been put ?rmly in
place. With the business models proven and in place in all the businesses that the company is involved in, the stage is set to
achieve an in?exion point in its growth life cycle in the coming years.
