Notes :

  1. Previous year's figures have been regrouped wherever necessary.

  2. Regarding the observations of the Auditors in their report for the year ended 31st March, 2007, the position of loans and advances continues to be similar for the reasons stated in the relevant Notes to Accounts.

  3. Impact of the revised Accounting Standard (AS-15) "Employee Benefits" shall be accounted for at the year end based on the actuarial valuation in this regard.

  4. The profitability of the company is affected by steep increase in the cost of raw material and lower realisation due to appreciation of the Rupee.
