There is also a significant target market for Indian ZEE NETWORK CORPORATE STRUCTURE<br />

c.<br />

films in foreign countries due to large expatriate<br />

populations of Indian origin. The overseas distribution<br />

rights of the Indian films are usually sold in a single<br />

block for the comprising overseas theatrical, cable<br />

and satellite rights. Rights for distribution via home<br />

video are typically not a significant source of revenue<br />

for Indian film producers due to rampant piracy.<br />

ilm Exhibition - There are around 12,500 cinema<br />

screens in India. Most of the cinema halls in India<br />

operate in an unorganised environment and are<br />

owned by individual entrepreneurs. The first multiple<br />

screen theatre in India was opened in 1997 in New<br />

Delhi and, since then, the industry has seen the entry<br />

of several organised corporate players. In the last<br />

two years, the state governments in several states<br />

have announced entertainment tax exemptions to<br />

theatre operators for building new multiple screen<br />

theatre complexes, which resulted in an expansion<br />

in theatre capacity.<br />

As a result of regulatory changes in India, the Company<br />

has in recent years shifted the uplinking of most of its<br />

channels from Singapore to India, resulting in a reduced<br />

role for some of its overseas subsidiaries. Partly as a<br />

result of these reduced roles, several overseas<br />

subsidiaries, primarily Software Supplies International<br />

Limited, Asia TV Africa Limited, Zee MGM Limited, and<br />

Zee Telefilms (International) Limited, have been<br />

consolidated under Asia Today Limited to streamline its<br />

businesses, improve operating efficiencies and to further<br />

rationalise its unprofitable operations in line with its<br />

strategic objectives. In addition, Asia TV (Netherlands)<br />

Limited, BVI, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in<br />

Netherlands which is not engaged in any business<br />

activity, has been wound up.<br />

The following chart sets forth the corporate structure<br />
