| (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.

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 / nine months are after absorbing costs relating to the strategic e-Choupal initiative.
(b)The degrowth in the revenues of the Agri Business segment during the quarter was due to lower exports consequent to the restrictions on the export of non-basmati rice.
|
| (5) |
Figures for the corresponding previous quarter, nine months ended 31st December, 2006 and year ended 31st March, 2007 have been re-arranged, wherever necessary, to conform to the figures of the current quarter and nine months period.
