The Company, therefore, cannot guarantee that these assumptions and expectations are accurate or will be realized. The Companys actual results, performance or achievements can thus differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no responsibility to publicly amend, modify or revise any forward looking statements, on the basis of any subsequent developments, information or events. However the threat of COVID-19 is expected to drive the economy downward in 2021-22. Industries and business activities around the country came to a screeching halt after the nationwide lockdowns, causing severe disruptions to supply and distribution channels. In order to revive the economy, certain industries were gradually allowed to start operations, in a phased manner.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Global economy remained largely subdued in FY 2021-22 due to widespread uncertainties and COVID-19 impact in the whole of the year. A real sense of the impact of the opportunities provided by the growth in multiplex and digital distribution can be gained by looking at box office numbers and screens. 2008 witnessed the first film ever in India to cross 1 billion. In 2012 nine films achieved this milestone. Similarly, in 2008 a large film may have been released across around 1,000 screens, whereas the current figure is close to 3,500 screens. Looking ahead, continued growth is expected in multiplex screens. For example, the newly combined PVR and Cinemax chains are expected to increase the number of screens by 25% (90 screens) in FY 2014. With the expansion of Cinepolis in India and the growth in other chains such as Inox Movies and Reliance Big Cinema, growth has become an industry-wide phenomenon. This growth in the number of screens is also being accompanied by rising average ticket prices across cinemas, as the mix of multiplex and single screens cinemas changes, with a skew towards multiplexes. In FY 2013, for example, PVR Limited reported a 10% increase in average ticket prices. Growth in cinema is not restricted to Hindi films. Tamil, Telegu, Bengali and Punjabi cinema continue to grow as the availability of screens increases, with films from the regions joining the 1 billion box offices. Hindi Film Industry has become risky because of higher rates of the artists & technicians as well as the publicity taking before release become very costly. Any Hindi film publicity budget should be minimum 4-5 crore and in other way, regional film publicity budget is very restricted.
