 The Company is the owner of the Hyderabad Franchise of the Indian
 Premier League (IPL) Deccan Chargers, created by the Board of Control
 for Cricket in India (BCCI). This is an indefinite right and the
 company can operate the franchise as long as the IPL tournament is
 conducted. The consideration for acquiring the franchise rights of Rs.
 428.04 Crores is payable to BCCI over a period of 10 years in equal
 installments commencing from Year 2008.
 
 A wholly owned subsidiary Company Deccan Chargers Sporting Ventures
 Limited (DCSVL) which was operating the franchise, capitalized the
 franchise rights as intangible asset and recognized an equal amount as
 liability payable to BCCI. The economic useful life of the asset was
 estimated at 25 years and amortized accordingly.
 
 On amalgamation of DCSVL with the Company, the Company reviewed the
 aforesaid policy and decided to write off the fee paid to BCCI in the
 year of incurrence i.e. over a period of 10 year period itself.
 Accordingly the amount of Rs. 5,136.48 lakhs represents the difference
 between the amount paid to participate in IPL 1 & 2 and the amount
 amortized for the year 2008 & 2009. In view of the above, recognition
 of asset and corresponding liability does not arise.
