 Financial Review:
 
 While the performance of the Company for the first nine months of
 2010-11 was decent, however the fourth quarter was impacted due to the
 Cricket World Cup as no blockbuster movies were released during the
 period. On an overall basis, the company has been able to demonstrate
 promising growth in revenues led by 7%-10% growth in ticket pricing and
 food & beverage realizations across the same stores.
 
 The success of big blockbuster movies like Rajneeti, Housefull and
 Dabangg boosted the film industrys fortune. Small Budget movies like
 Peepli Live, Phas Gaye Re Obama, Tanu Weds Manu among others also
 did well at the Box Office.
 
 During the financial year under review the total income of the Comapny
 were Rs. 360 Crores as compared to Rs. 280.6 Crores in 2009-10, up by
 28%. EBITDA for 2010-11, were Rs. 60.7 Crores as compared to Rs. 31.7
 Crores in 2009-10, up by 91%. Profit after Tax for 2010-11 was Rs. 16.3
 Crores as compared to Rs. 0.26 Crores in 2009-10.
 
 The company at present operates 33 properties with 142 screens in 18
 cities across the country. The company added 19 Screens at 3 locations
 i.e. Chennai, Ahmadabad and Lucknow in 2010-11. The Company had signed
 Agreements/MOUs for 75-80 screens for the coming financial year in
 different parts of the country including cities like Udaipur,
 Vijaywada, Delhi, Mysore, Bangalore, Bhopal, Pune etc. which will
 further boost the revenues and profitability of the company.
 
 The pipeline of the movies for FY 2011-12 looks exciting and the
 company expects its revenues to consolidate further on the strength of
 its properties in the best locations.
 
 The company expects that about 25-30 3D films that are expected to be
 released in financial year 2011-12, will fetch higher ticket prices.
 The company also has a plan to install digital IMAX theatre systems at
 its four locations in India. The first two of them would be installed
 within the next 12 months at Companys two multiplexes in Mumbai and
 Bangalore.
