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 />
