 APPROPRIATION
 
 Dividend
 
 In accordance with the provisions of Companies (Declaration of Dividend
 out of Reserves) Rules, 1975, the Directors recommend a final dividend
 of Rs. 0.20 per share (10 per cent on a par value of Rs. 2 per share) for
 the approval of the members. The final dividend, if declared as above,
 would involve an outflow of Rs. 130.42 Lacs towards the dividend
 (previous year Rs. 195.63 Lacs) and Rs. 21.66 Lacs towards dividend tax
 (previous year Rs. 33.26 Lacs), resulting in a total outflow of Rs. 152.08
 Lacs.
 
 Transfer to Reserves
 
 Since the Company has incurred losses during the year, no amount has
 been transferred to the General Reserve.  Dividend has been declared
 out of the accumulated profits available for distribution. Post
 proposed dividend, an amount of Rs. 18,935.07 Lacs has been retained in
 the Profit and Loss Account.
 
 Subsidiary
 
 The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary i.e. Balaji Motion Pictures
 Limited (BMPL), incorporated in March 2007, to handle the filmed
 entertainment business.
 
 The year has been an eventful one for BMPL. The box office blockbuster,
 ''Once Upon A Time in Mumbai'', emerged as one of the most celebrated
 films of the year, bagging multiple awards in various categories.
 
 Subsequent to the financial year end, ''Short in the City'', the most
 acclaimed film of the season, and ''Raging MMS'', an unconventional
 paranormal thriller, were both released successfully, and established
 the company''s Alt brand, which stands for new-age commercial cinema
 with alternate sensibilities.
 
 In April 2011, BMPL forayed into regional cinema with its maiden
 Marathi co- production, ''Taryanche Bait'', which received an
 overwhelming response from the media and audiences alike, and set new
 precedents at the box office.
 
 BMPL is currently filming its forthcoming multi-starrer, ''The Dirty
 Picture'', which is due for a release later this year.
 
 A number of other projects are under active discussion. The Company
 expects to release as many as five films in 2012-2013, compared to four
 in 2011-2012 and two in 2010-2011.
 
 BMPL achieved a turnover of Rs. 4204.71 Lacs as against Rs. 592.17 Lacs
 during the previous fiscal. In the current financial year, BMPL has
 reported profit of Rs. 288.86 Lacs against a loss of Rs. 889.90 Lacs for
 the previous fiscal.

 CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
 
 Energy conservation measures taken by the Company
 
 Our operations are not energy intensive.  However, significant measures
 are taken to reduce energy consumption by using energy-efficient
 computers and by purchasing energy-efficient equipment.  We purchase
 computers, laptops, air conditioners etc. that meet environmental
 standards, wherever possible, and regularly upgrade old equipment with
 more energy- efficient equipment. Currently, we use CFL fixtures 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
 efficient 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
 financial impact of these measures is not material.
 
 Total energy consumption

 specified in the schedule, the same is not applicable to the Company.
 
 TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION

 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 quantifiable.
 
 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 better production
 value, as a regular process.
