ANNEXURE TO DIRECTOR''S REPORT

Industry structure and development

Euromonitor estimates the annual revenue from India''s amusement park business currently at about Rs. 2,000 crore, and projects a com- pound annual growth rate (CAGR) of four per cent to touch Rs. 2,600 crore by 2018. Volume growth, or the number of people visiting such parks, estimated by another global market research firm Mintel has been much higher. Mintel says the market grew 30.7 per cent by volume in 2012 and will keep expanding at a CAGR of 18.9 per cent till 2017 when there will be 129.1 million visitors.

Being an integral part of the leisure industry, the amusement park industry contributes almost 40 per cent of the total turnover of the entire leisure industry.

There is a huge untapped potential in this segment for Indian market. There are handfuls of amusements parks in the country and seeing the success of such properties, industry analysts have revealed that in the coming years there would be around 200 more amusement parks coming up. By 2020, the industry will grow by almost 100 per cent. The associated and participatory entertainment in the amusement industry is one of the major reasons behind the rapid growth of amusement parks. Hence, the industry has a bright future in the coming years.

Opportunities, Outlook

As the lifestyle and spending behaviour has changed with time drastically, today youngsters and families prefer to spend quality time where one can have fun, shop, eat and relax under one roof. On an average, a person visits five-six times in a month depending upon the facilities and entertainment options available in the park. The amusement industry has huge potential and we have seen only increase in the footfalls over last couple of years which indicates that more number of people are looking for wholesome family entertainment destinations and amusement parks provide that opportunity where a family can spend quality time together.

Threat, Risks and Concerns

Amusement parks seek uniform entertainment tax. The Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries, apex body of the amuse- ment parks, has sought uniformity in the entertainment tax being imposed by different states. The Association rues that the exorbitantly charged entertainment tax by some states is a major impediment in the growth of the industry in these regions. "West Bengal, Punjab and Gujarat charge entertainment tax at 20%, 40% and 25% respectively, whereas the entertainment tax rate hovers around 5-15% in majority of the states.

Financial Performance

Net Revenue from Operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 was at Rs255.08 Lacs representing an increase of 1.91% per cent over the previous year.

Profit before tax for the year was at Rs. 2.70 Lacs representing a decline of 41.97% per cent over the previous year.

Internal Control Systems & their Adequacy

The Company maintains appropriate systems of internal control, including monitoring procedures, to ensure that all assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. Company policies, guidelines and procedures provide for adequate checks and balances and are meant to ensure that all transactions are authorised, recorded and reported correctly.

The internal audit department together with a firm of Chartered Accountants reviews the effectiveness and efficiency of these systems and procedures to ensure that all assets are protected against loss and that the financial and operational information is accurate and complete in all respects. The Audit Committee approves and reviews audit plans for the year based on internal risk assessment. Audits are conducted on an ongoing basis and significant deviations are brought to the notice of the Audit Committee of the Board following which corrective action is recommended for implementation. All these measures facilitate timely detection of any irregularities and early remedial steps with no monetary loss.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

The estimated Rs1,500-crore amusement park sector continues to grow at 10-15%, but lack of uniform taxation across states could be a hindrance, according to the Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries (IAAPI). The industry is badly affected by the lack of a uniform entertainment tax for amusement parks.

OPPORTUNITIES, THREAT, OUTLOOK, RISKS AND CONCERNS

Amusement parks have not received their due recognition for their enormous potential as an infrastructural facility for tourism. The amusement industry worldwide is a very significant part of the tourism effort. In India, the tourism policy does not address the needs and the potential of the amusement industry. As such, today the amusement industry in India receives no special incentives; on the other hand it is faced with administrative delays, as there are no defined administrative guidelines for approvals for amusement parks.
