BROADCASTING:

There are two main streams of revenue for a broadcaster namely, advertising revenue and subscription revenue. Your Company is in the process of distributing its TV Channel across India. Distribution of a channel is a gradual and time consuming process especially for standalone and niche channels. We are hopeful of achieving adequate viewership for the channel by the end of current financial year which will attract the advertisers to consider Insync for placement of their advertisement.

Broadcasting industry is in the process of transformation and very soon will become content and technology driven. Advertisers require wide distribution of channel and ratings from TAM. The distribution system of digital cable is in the process of adopting "Subscriber Management System" technology and thereafter a customer can pay for the channel of his choice which will help us to position Insync as a pay channel. Considering the low operating costs of the Company we expect an early breakeven once the revenue from the above two stream start.

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

The Company intent to be available on all major DTH players like Tata Sky, DISH, Airtel, Videocon shortly. The Company is also looking for monitisation of its content through available digital media.

The Company proposes to create 1000 hrs of content every year and ensure to carry Indian Classical Music to the youth of India and international in a newer and better way by using latest technological platforms.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS AFTER END OF THE YEAR:

The Company is already showcasing Hindustani Classical Music, Ghazals, Sufi and Fusion etc on its channel. We propose to start a slot for dedicated viewers of Carnatic Music on Insync.

Subsequent to the year end, Company has roped in Mr. Ganesh Kumar. He will be appointed as an Executive Director in the Company which requires prior approval from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.
