5. Balances in respect of some of the debtors, creditors, advances and deposits are subject to confirmation.

6. Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds:

On 20th July, 2007 the Company issued 150 foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCB) of a face value of USD 100,000 each aggregating USD 15.0 million. As per the terms of the issue, the holders have an option to convert FCCB in to equity shares at an initial conversion rate of Rs 312.84 per equity share at a fixed exchange rate subject to certain price adjustment as per the terms of the issue. However as a result of terms of issue, the conversion price as on date is Rs 250.40 per share. Further under certain conditions, the Company after July 20,2010 but before July 21,2012 has an option for earlier redemption of the bonds, in the whole, but not in part. Unless previously converted or redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Company will redeem these bonds with a redemption premium of 7.75% (which is identical to the gross to the yield in case of redemption at maturity) calculated on a semi-annual basis.

The FCCBs as detailed above are hybrid instruments with an option of conversion into specified number of shares and an underlying foreign currency liability with redemption at a premium in the event of non conversion at the end of the period. A number of factors would influence the conversion decision including movement in the quoted price of the Company's shares, the rate of exchange, interest rates in the market, the growth in financial performance and profitability of the Company and the performance of the industry in which the Company operated, etc. In the opinion of the Company, the lesser number of conversions into equity shares is a temporary aberration due to the current economic conditions. The Company expects that the bond holders would continue to opt for conversion rather than redemption and consequently no premium are expected to be payable and therefore, the same is not provided for and the outstanding amount has been treated as Long Term Borrowing.

7. During the year under review the Company has raised short term loan of Rs. 15,00,00,000/- ( Rupees Fifteen Crores Only) through 'Commercial Paper' and the same is outstanding as on the date of Balance Sheet.

8. Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 205A and 205C of the Companies Act, 1956, the dividend which remains unclaimed/unpaid for a period of seven years from the date of transfer to the unpaid dividend account is required to be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) established by the Central Government.

As seven years have not expired from date of transfer to the unpaid dividend account, the amount is not required to be transferred to Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF)

9. There are no specific claims from suppliers under interest on delayed payments covered under Small Scale & Ancillary Act, 1993.

10. The company does not have any dues payable to any micro, small and medium enterprises as at the year end. The identification of the micro, small & medium enterprises is based on management's knowledge of their status.
