Notes
(1)

The Company's corporate strategy aims at creating multiple drivers of growth anchored on its core competencies. The Company is currently focused on four business groups : FMCG, Hotels, Paperboards, Paper & Packaging and Agri Business. The Company's organisational structure and governance processes are designed to support effective management of multiple businesses while retaining focus on each one of them.

(2) The business groups comprise the following :
FMCG : Cigarettes - Cigarettes & Smoking Mixtures.
: Others - Branded Packaged Foods (Staples, Biscuits, Confectionery, Snack Foods and Ready to Eat Foods), Garments, Greeting, Gifting & Stationery, Matches and Agarbattis.
Hotels - Hoteliering.
Paperboards, Paper & Packaging - Paperboards, Paper including Specialty Paper & Packaging.
Agri Business - Agri commodities such as Rice, Soya, Wheat, Coffee and Leaf Tobacco.
(3) Segment results of the new business activities namely 'FMCG : Others' largely reflect business development and gestation costs.
(4)

(a) The Company's Agri Business markets agri commodities in the export and domestic markets; supplies agri raw materials to the Branded Packaged Foods Business and sources leaf tobacco for the Cigarettes Business. The segment results for the quarter / half year are after absorbing costs relating to the strategic e-Choupal initiative.

(b)The performance of the Agri Business segment was adversely impacted during the quarter as a consequence of the Company having to dispose off agri commodities in the domestic market at prices lower than those paid to farmers through the e-Choupal network. This was due to ban on exports and imports at nil duties which along with subsidized auction sales depressed the prices in the domestic market. Further the rupee appreciation affected realizations on US $ denominated exports.

(5) Figures for the corresponding previous quarter, half-year ended 30th September 2006 and year ended 31st March 2007 have been recast to conform to current presentation.
