RISK FACTORS

Following are certain considerations, which the investors should peruse before making an
investment in the issue. The material implication of the risks envisaged by the
management has been quantified as far as possible. Where such quantification has not
been made it may be construed that the implication cannot be quantified.

1. Operational risks arising from poor maintenance of hotel rooms, poor quality of F&B
services and other facilities, outdated technology etc.

Management Perception: With experienced personnel from international and Indian


hotel industry, no risk is envisaged in the operations / maintenance of the Hotel. The
promoters are already running six other 5-star hotels. The Hotel has been set up with
international standards in consultation with Hotel Project Systems, Singapore for
setting up of systems, methods, standards and specifications in all operational areas
like procurement, accounting, administration, food and beverage planning, rooms
division planning and human resources. The Hotel was set up to meet the most
luxurious classification of the Hyatt chain of hotels worldwide.

2. Decrease in economic growth in the country can reduce business traffic and result in
decreased revenues.
Management Perception: Currently, India has achieved a high rate of growth, which
is expected to sustain over the years. Keeping in view the Commonwealth games to
be held in 2010 in New Delhi, the industry demand is expected to grow by 9% per
annum on average. The management does not foresee any adverse impact from
the above-mentioned risk.

3. The hotel industry derives a significant share of its income from foreign tourist arrivals,
which could be adversely affected due to political instability, war, epidemics etc.
Management Perception:
This risk is common to the entire hotel industry. UHL has the ability to diversify its
revenues partly by catering to airline crews, owing to its proximity to the airport. A
substantial source of revenues is also from food and beverages, conferences etc.

4. Increased competition from other hotels and availability of new rooms in the city can
adversely affect the company.
Management Perception: UHLs hotel property is located close to the international
airport, which gives it an operational advantage. In the short time that it has been
operational, UHL has been able to successfully compete and gain market share from
more established players. The management is confident of being able to meet the
competition in future also. Also, there are currently no new projects in the super
deluxe category or 5-star category in the pipeline.

5. Non availability of requisite raw material in right quality and quantity can affect the
operations of the Hotel.
Management Perception: Most of the raw material required for running the hotel is
available locally and no risk on this count to operations of the Hotel is envisaged.

5
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

6. There are 4 material litigations / claims against the Company to the extent of
approximately Rs 16.89 crores, not acknowledged as debts. A brief of the same is
given in the table below.

4 0.84 Income Tax UHL has challenged the

Total 16.89

Management Perception: UHL has adequate number of experienced legal


professionals / engaged services of reputed legal counsel. UHL expects to be able to
resolve the claims / litigations over a period of time.

7. As on March 31, 2004 UHL contingent liabilities of Rs.26.42 Crores.


Management Perception: This is disclosed in the annual accounts as a statutory
disclosure.

8. Significant fraud, systems failure or calamities could adversely impact the UHLs
business. A significant failure of security measures could have a material adverse
effect on its business and its future financial performance. Computer break-ins and
power disruptions could affect the security of the information stored in and
transmitted through its computer systems and network infrastructure.
Management Perception: The UHL has implemented robust security technology and
established operational procedures to prevent break-ins, damage and failures. The
UHL employs security systems, including firewalls and password encryption, designed
to minimize the risk of security breaches. These are continuously reviewed and
upgraded.

9. The financial disclosures on financials in the Information Memorandum may not be


available to investors after listing on continuous basis.
Management Perception: Disclosures made in the Information Memorandum are
statutory disclosures. UHL is a closely held company.

V. INDUSTRY SCENARIO AND ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY

Industry structure

Hotels are classified into seven categories according to the star rating assigned by the
Department of Tourism (DoT). These range from one star to 5-star deluxe depending upon
size and amenities. About 28% of the rooms fall under the 5-star or 5-star deluxe
categories. The distribution of rooms by category is as follows:

Hotel class No of hotels % No of rooms %


1 star 144 11.9% 4,244 6.6%
2 star 296 24.4% 10,584 16.4%
3 star 298 24.6% 13,747 21.3%
4 star 72 5.9% 5,180 8.0%
5 star 59 4.9% 7,518 11.7%
5 star deluxe 43 3.5% 10,734 16.6%
Heritage 42 3.5% 1,012 1.6%
Unclassified 259 21.3% 11481 17.8%
Total 1217 100.0% 64,500 100.0
Source: Industry

These can be broadly classified into three major segments according to the mix of target
clientele serviced by them, as below:
* The Premium Segment (Including 5 star Deluxe and 5 star hotels) which principally
caters to business travelers and also up-market leisure clientele,
* The Mid-market segment (comprising 3 and 4 star hotels) which caters to a fair mix of
business and leisure travelers and
* The Budget Segment (which include hotels of star rating 2 and below) which mainly
cater to low budget leisure travelers.

Premium Segment

The characteristics exhibited by this segment are as follows:

Dominant Industry Position: The premium segment dominates the hotel business in India
and accounts for around 30% of the total room base and over 65% of the total revenues
of the industry.

Geographic Concentration in metros: Hotels in this segment are heavily concentrated in


major metropolitan cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Bangalore and Chennai
and also have moderate presence along major tourist circuits such as the golden
triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur), which draw significant international tourist traffic.

Revenue Concentration in foreign business travelers: Over 70% of revenues of this


segment are generated from business travelers, mostly international.

High operating leverage allows premium segment hotels to command high yields during
boom phases and on the other hand leaves them exposed to greater downside risk
during lean periods.

26
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

Dominated by major Indian hotel chains: operating in India, including EIH Limited (EIHL),
The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), ITC Hotels Limited (ITCH), Asian Hotels Limited
(AHL), Hotel Leela Venture Limited (HLV), Oriental Hotels Limited (OHL) and ITDC.

The guest profile of hotels in the metro cities is undergoing a significant shift from the
tourist to the business traveler, an outcome of the changes in the economic environment
of the country. The business traveler market offers hotels a number of advantages such
as higher growth rate, reduction in dependence on the tourist season and opportunity to
create repeat clientele. Hence, hotels in major cities are attempting to attract corporate
clients through providing facilities such as business centres, state-of-the-art
communication facilities and exclusive business clubs. These hotels also attract domestic
business travelers as well as tourist transit travelers. A brief classification of client groups for
the hotel industry is provided below:

Free Itinerant Traveler (FIT) Segment: This segment comprises full paying guests, both
foreign (FFIT) and domestic (DFIT) who have booked directly or through a travel agent or
reservation network. The FIT segment is the highest paying segment and is offered
minimum discount.

Corporate Group Rate (CGR) Segment: This consists of regular corporate customers, both
foreign (FCGR) and domestic (DCGR) negotiating a special rate/discount based on
volume of business provided.

Conference Related Traffic Segment: Rooms sold to delegates attending conferences /


conventions / exhibitions comprise this segment.

Domestic Business Traveler: These are mainly top corporate travelers or


conference/seminar related travelers.

Domestic Tourist Traveler: These are mainly travelers transiting through the major cities to
the other tourist destinations within the country. This segment normally prefers budget
hotels. This segment in targeted mainly in off-season by offering major discounts by the
five-star hotels.

Airline Related Traffic (Crew and layover): Crew traffic consists of flight and cabin crews
while layover traffic consists of transit or held up passenger traffic. The airline related
traffic avails of maximum discounts and enters into long term contracts with hotels for
accommodation. They prefer uptown hotels due to proximity to the airport. This segment
is usually used to augment occupancy levels during periods of low usage. The volumes
are most assured in case of Airline Related Traffic but the ARR are substantially lower.
Demand, Supply and Outlook for the industry

Average room revenue (ARR) and occupancy are the two most critical factors that
determine the profitability, since most of the marginal revenue gets added to the
bottom-line. ARR in turn depends upon location, brand image, star rating, quality of
facilities and services offered and the seasonal factor. It is computed as a ratio of the
total room revenue to the total rooms sold in a particular year.

Demand

International business travelers drive demand for premium hotels. These hotels mainly
draw their clientele from foreign visitors and domestic business travelers. The fact that

27
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

these hotels earn almost 70% of their revenue in foreign exchange bears out this
dependence. Therefore future growth in premium segment will depend on high
spending foreign tourists. While foreign business tourist arrivals are dependent on the
investment climate in the country, arrivals of foreign leisure tourists are dependent upon
stable socio-political conditions in the country. A stable political condition results in
increase in business confidence and this leads to increased investments.

When the economic conditions are favourable, hotels enjoy high occupancy rates. This
gives them the flexibility of increasing their room rates. During the boom phase most hotel
companies operated at very high occupancy rates, which gave them the leeway of
increasing their room rates. Amongst the foreign tourists, leisure travelers comprise
approximately 76% of the total tourist inflow whereas business travelers comprise
approximately 21%. Leisure tourist arrivals are seasonal in nature as India's subtropical
climate leads to preference for the winter months. Occupancy levels are low between
April-September as is reflected in quarterly tourist arrivals.

At present India attracts more than 2 million tourists a year. Following economic
liberalisation, the flow of foreign business travelers increased phenomenally in the early
90's. In 1995-96 tourist arrivals increased by 21% year on year (YOY). Thereafter due to
weak socio-economic conditions growth in tourist arrivals petered off. Following political
turmoil and the nuclear test, tourist arrivals declined by 5% in 1998-99. Certain tourist
destinations have also seen high concentration of tourist room demand. Destinations
such as Agra-Jaipur, Mysore, Bhubaneshwar-Puri-Konark, Jaisalmer- Jodhpur-Bikaner and
Mahabalipuram - Pondicherry have been popularised by the tourist operators.

Supply

In 2003, there were about 64,500 hotel rooms in India, of which about 28% are estimated
to be in the premium segment (5-star and 5-star deluxe hotels). There are 42,858 rooms
under construction. It is estimated that to attract 5 million tourists the total room
availability would have to be approximately 120,000 rooms. Presently, the total 5 & 4-star
room capacity in the four metro cities is close to 14,500 rooms. Mumbai and Delhi
account for the bulk of the total room availability. The 5 and 4 star room availability in
metro cities are as follows:

City 5-star 4-star


Chennai 250 600
Mumbai 3,900 1,000
Delhi 5,500 1,000
Calcutta 1,000 250
Bangalore 800 150
Total 11,450 3,000
Source: Industry

Outlook

The slowdown in the Indian economy as well as weak socio-political conditions had an
adverse impact on tourist arrivals. However, the prospects for Indian economy have
since improved. Business traveler traffic has increased substantially.

In the long-term the hotel industry in India has latent potential for growth. This is because
India is an ideal destination for tourists as its the country with the most diverse

28
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

topography. At present India attracts approximately 2.5 million tourists every year which
is just 0.4% of the world tourist arrivals. Countries such as Thailand and Malaysia attract
thrice as many tourists.

Prospects for The Grand New Delhi (Unison Hotels Ltd.)

Delhi and Mumbai are the hub of economic activities of India. Hence, these locations
are most suited for five star hotels. Delhi as compared to Mumbai has an added
advantage of being capital of the country leading to additional traffic on account of
economic and commercial lobbying and political diplomacy. Delhi is the only city in
India, which has facilities to hold large conventions. Delhi also has an advantage of
being the Gateway City for tourist travelers to North India. Every traveler who plans to visit
North India, which has been a major attraction for foreign tourist, has to route himself
through Delhi only.

The hotel site is strategically located between the International airport and the city
centre, near to diplomatic enclave of the capital. The hotel is at a distance of just 8 km
from International and Domestic airports and around 14 km from the downtown business
centres like Connaught Place and Nehru Place. Only Radisson Hotel is closer to the
airports than this hotel. The Grand with its premium facilities is expected to attract a lot of
foreign business travelers who prefer to stay close to airport. Of late, most of the leading
corporates in Delhi are shifting to South Delhi areas like Gurgaon from the crowded areas
like Connaught Place. This hotel will be convenient for travelers going to Gurgaon. Thus,
the hotel is ideally located to attract foreign travelers as well as domestic business
travelers.

The recent auction of land by DDA (Delhi Development Authority), in front of the hotel for
DDAs forthcoming shopping mall, had a reserve price of Rs. 1000 million per hectare.
Going by the same valuation, the value of the land on which the hotel is built, would be
worth Rs.4000 million. The actual auction, concluded on Dec. 15, 2003 averaged Rs.1750
million per hectare. Buyers included Maruti Udyog, Bharti Telecom, ONGC, DLF and
others.

DDA is developing Delhis biggest shopping mall opposite the Hotel spread over 47
acres. The mall would comprise office blocks, a multiplex, and service apartments etc.,
which would increase the F&B revenues as well as ARR for the Hotel.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with financial
statements.

During the nine months period ended March 31, 2003, the company achieved total
income of Rs. 450.2 million on which it earned PBIDT of Rs. 202.5 million. After considering
interest expenses of Rs. 219.2 million and depreciation charges of Rs. 79.1 million during
the 9 months period ended March 31, 2003, UHL recorded operating loss of Rs. 95.8
million. It may be noted that the year 2003-04 would be the first full year of operations
and the company proposes to reduce its interest expenses further in future. UHL has
already converted Rs.1500 million of ICICI Banks project loans into foreign currency.

During the FY2003-04, the company has achieved a turnover of Rs.737.85 million.
However, the first half of every year is a lean period for the hotel industry, and contributes
only 30% of the total years turnover. Subsequently, in the months of Oct. and Nov. 2003,
the occupancy rates increased to 82% and 94% respectively. Similarly, average room
revenue (ARR) also increased from Rs.3146 to Rs.3689 per day.

The improvement in performance has been on account of stabilization of operations and


increase in efficiency of the hotel operations.

Unison Hotels Limited confirms that:

1. There have been no unusual or infrequent events or transactions, since the date of
the Auditors Report contained herein.
2. There are no significant economic changes that materially affected or are likely to
materially affect income from continued operations.
3. There are no known trends or uncertainties that have had or are likely to have a
material adverse impact on the revenue or income from continuing operations.
4. There have been no changes in the activity of the Issuer which may have had a
material effect on the statement of profit / loss for the last five years.

Material Development:
In the opinion of the Company, since the date of the last financial statement disclosed in
the Information Memorandum, there have been no circumstances that materially and
adversely affect or are likely to affect the trading or profitability of the Bank, or the value
of its assets, or its ability to pay its liabilities, within the next twelve months.

VIII. FINANCIALS OF GROUP COMPANIES PROMOTED BY PROMOTERS

company under the same management as defined u/s 370(1)(b).

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

* Brief Particulars

1. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi had assessed an amount of Rs 8.64 cr. as property
tax payable by UHL for the period upto 31st March 2003 on 2nd May 2003. UHL has already
deposited the admitted tax of Rs.4.03 cr. UHL has filed a writ petition in Delhi High Court
challenging the assessment of Municipal Corporation of Delhi, which is pending for final
disposal.

Management Perception: UHL is confident that the admitted tax already deposited is
sufficient to meet the property tax on re-assessment by Municipal Corporation of Delhi
and therefore does not foresee any additional cash outflow.

2. M/s. D S Gupta Contracts Pvt. Ltd. was a contractor engaged during the construction
stage of the Hotel. The contractor has subsequently raised a claim of Rs. 5.17 cr. which is
under arbitration.

Management Perception: The Company has already filed a counter-claim of Rs.41.05 cr.
and does not foresee any outflow in respect of the above.

3. M/s. Ahluwalia Contracts (India) Ltd.. was a civil contractor engaged during the
construction stage of the Hotel. The contractor has subsequently raised a claim of Rs.4.88
cr. which is under arbitration.

Management Perception: The claim is before the arbitrator. and the Company does not
foresee any outflow in respect of the above.

4. The Income Tax Department (TDS) has raised a demand of Rs.83.68 lakhs for the
financial years 1998 to 2001. The Company has already deposited Rs.83.68 lakhs against
the aforesaid demand. It has also filed an appeal before the ITAT (Income Tax Appellate
Tribunal) challenging the aforesaid order.

Management Perception: UHL is confident that ITAT is likely to uphold UHLs appeal.

XII. RISK FACTORS AND PROPOSALS TO ADDRESS THE RISK

RISK FACTORS

Following are certain considerations, which the investors should peruse before making an
investment in the issue. The material implication of the risks envisaged by the
management has been quantified as far as possible. Where such quantification has not
been made it may be construed that the implication cannot be quantified.

1. Operational risks arising from poor maintenance of hotel rooms, poor quality of F&B
services and other facilities, outdated technology etc.

Management Perception: With experienced personnel from international and Indian


hotel industry, no risk is envisaged in the operations / maintenance of the Hotel. The
promoters are already running six other 5-star hotels. The Hotel has been set up with
international standards in consultation with Hotel Project Systems, Singapore for
setting up of systems, methods, standards and specifications in all operational areas
like procurement, accounting, administration, food and beverage planning, rooms
division planning and human resources. The Hotel was set up to meet the most
luxurious classification of the Hyatt chain of hotels worldwide.

2. Decrease in economic growth in the country can reduce business traffic and result
in decreased revenues.

Management Perception: Currently, India has achieved a high rate of growth, which
is expected to sustain over the years. Keeping in view the Commonwealth games to
be held in 2010 in New Delhi, the industry demand is expected to grow by 9% per
annum on average. The management does not foresee any adverse impact from
the above-mentioned risk.

3. The hotel industry derives a significant share of its income from foreign tourist arrivals,
which could be adversely affected due to political instability, war, epidemics etc.
Management Perception:
This risk is common to the entire hotel industry. UHL has the ability to diversify its
revenues partly by catering to airline crews, owing to its proximity to the airport. A
substantial source of revenues is also from food and beverages, conferences etc.

4. Increased competition from other hotels and availability of new rooms in the city
can adversely affect the company.
Management Perception: UHLs hotel property is located close to the international
airport, which gives it an operational advantage. In the short time that it has been
operational, UHL has been able to successfully compete and gain market share from
more established players. The management is confident of being able to meet the
competition in future also. Also, there are currently no new projects in the super
deluxe category or 5-star category in the pipeline.

5. Non availability of requisite raw material in right quality and quantity can affect the
operations of the Hotel.
Management Perception: Most of the raw material required for running the hotel is
available locally and no risk on this count to operations of the Hotel is envisaged.

38
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

6. There are 4 material litigations / claims against the Company to the extent of
approximately Rs 16.89 crores, not acknowledged as debts. A brief of the same is
given in the table below.

7. As on March 31, 2004 UHL contingent liabilities of Rs.26.42 Crores.


Management Perception: This is disclosed in the annual accounts as a statutory
disclosure.

8. Significant fraud, systems failure or calamities could adversely impact the UHLs
business. A significant failure of security measures could have a material adverse
effect on its business and its future financial performance. Computer break-ins and
power disruptions could affect the security of the information stored in and
transmitted through its computer systems and network infrastructure.
Management Perception: The UHL has implemented robust security technology and
established operational procedures to prevent break-ins, damage and failures. The
UHL employs security systems, including firewalls and password encryption, designed
to minimize the risk of security breaches. These are continuously reviewed and
upgraded.

9. The financial disclosures on financials in the Information Memorandum may not be


available to investors after listing on continuous basis.
Management Perception: Disclosures made in the Information Memorandum are
statutory disclosures. UHL is a closely held company.

2. The Company has a policy of providing the diminution in value on account of usage
over the estimated useful life of operating equipments. The management, as a
matter of prudence, has decided to provide 100% diminution for uniform including
fabrics, etc. This has resulted into higher consumption of current operating
equipments by Rs. 1.41 Crores and lower profitability by an even amount.

3. During the year the company has carried out the revaluation of land at Rs. 220 Crores
which was originally purchased in auction for Rs.32.25 crores resulting in the net
addition of Rs. 187.75 crores on the basis of valuation carried out by approved
valuers. This exercise was resorted by the company in order to recognise the value of
Hotel land at prevailing market price.

5. Deferred Taxes

Deferred taxes arise because of difference in treatment between financial accounting


and tax accounting, known as Timing Differences. The tax effect of these timing
differences is recorded as Deferred Tax Assets (generally items that can be used as a
tax deduction or credit in future periods) and Deferred Tax Liabilities (generally items
for which the company has received a tax deduction, but have not yet been recorded
in the statement of income).

Net Deferred Tax Assets (B-A) 239.83 397.75

Based on projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax
assets would be so realised in near future. However as a matter of prudence deferred tax
assets have been recognised only to the extent of deferred tax liabilities.

The Company is presently operating only one integrated Hotel at one geographical
location at New Delhi. The entire operation is governed by the same set of risk and returns
and hence the same has been considered as representing a single segment. The said
treatment is in accordance with the guiding principals enunciated in the Accounting
