 Medium Enterprises on the Balance sheet date.
 
 The above information has been determined to the extent such parties
 have been identified on the basis of information available with the
 Company. This has been relied upon by the auditors.
 
 13 (a) A contract was entered into in 1993 between the Company and
 General Fertiliser Co., (GFC) Horns, Syria for revamping of two streams
 of Sulphuric Acid Plant of GFC by the Company. The value of the
 contract was USD 12.8 million plus Syrian Pounds 72 million, equivalent
 to Rs.44.24 crores, considering the exchange rates prevailing in 1993.
 The Company has completed this project and has also given the required
 performance test runs on the two streams of the Sulphuric Acid plant.
 The Company has also received all payments from GFC, Syria except
 payment of certain invoices aggregating to USD 1.37 million (included
 in Sundry Debtors) equivalent to Rs.620.01 lacs as on 31.03.2011. The
 Company has also made claims from GFC, Syria towards interest on
 delayed payments, bank charges for extention of the validity period of
 the Letter of Credit/bank Guarantees and other overheads.
 
 The Company has not taken any credit for these claims in the books of
 accounts. As provided in the contract, the case was referred to the
 Arbitration Tribunal at Damascus, Syria. The Arbitration Tribunal has
 given its award, according to which GFC, Syria was required to make
 payment to the Company of the aforesaid unpaid dues aggregating to USD
 1.37 million. .
 
 Further, the Arbitration Tribunal has accepted certain claims made by
 the Company as also by GFC. Syria. The Company as well as GFC, Syria
 have filed their respective appeals against the Arbitration award with
 the State Council at Damascus, Syria. The Company as well as GFC, Syria
 have made certain claims on each other, in their respective appeals as
 filed with the State Council. The State Council constituted a seven
 member Expert Committee in October 2002 to examine these claims and
 give its recommendations. The Report of this Expert Committee,
 containing its recommendations has been submitted to the State Council.
 The comments received from GFC, Syria and the Company (in response to
 the recommendations of the Expert Committee) have been forwarded by the
 State Council to the Expert Committee. Based on these comments, the
 Expert Committee has submitted its Report to the State Council
 recommending payment to the Company of the aforesaid invoices
 aggregating to USD 1.37 million (equivalent to Rs.620.01 lacs) and
 certain other claims of the Company.
 
 On this basis, the Supreme Administrative Court of Syria has given its
 judgement according to which a net amount of about USD 0.90 Million
 (equivalent to Rs. 398.43 lacs) is payable by GFC to the Company as on
 31.03.2011 The shortfall in receivable between the amount included in
 Sundry Debtors as on 31.03.2011 (i.e. Rs.620.01 lacs) and the net
 amount payable to the Company as on 31.03.2011 as per the judgement
 given by Supreme Administrative Court of Syria (i.e. Rs. 398.43 lacs),
 has already been provided in earlier Financial Year.
 
 (b) The Company has made a provision for Doubtful Debts and Advances
 aggregating to Rs.1898.22 lacs upto the period ended 31.03.2011
 (Previous Year 1823.22 lacs). In the opinion of the Management of the
 Company, this provision is adequate to cover the Doubtful Debts &
 Advances as on 31.03.2011, including those in respect of dues from GFC,
 Syria (to the extent considered doubtful).
 
 (c) The Debtors as on 31.03.2011 are subject to confirmations from
 customers.
 
 6 Consequent to the negotiated settlements with the Secured/Unsecured
 Lenders, an amount aggregating to Rs.3362.76 Lacs payable by the
 Company to these lenders has been waived by the said lenders. The
 Company has credited this amount of Rs. 3362.76 Lacs to ''Capital
 Reserve'' during the period ended 31.03.2011, since it consists of
 principal amount of borrowings only (without any interest component).
 Those negotiated settlements do not involve any cash flows and hence
 are not included in the Cash Flow from Financing Activities'''' as
 disclosed in the attached Cash Flow Statement for the period ended 31
 st March 2011.
 
 7 Interest expense for the period ended 31 st March 2011 and for the
 period ended 30th June 2010 is net off interest income of Rs.10.55 lacs
 and Rs.12.67 lacs, respectively. Tax deducted at source in respect of
 aforesaid interest income for the period ended 31st March 2011 is Rs.
 1.55 lacs (Previous year Rs.1.01 lacs).
 
 8 (a) No provision has been made in respect of current income tax
 since there is no taxable income during the period ended 31st March
 2011 and for the period ended 30th June 2010.
 
 (b) The Company will start trading in various fertilisers and other
 agri inputs in association with a  Strategic Investor, after
 completing sale of fixed assets of the Company at its Ambamath factory.
 This will result in significant additional turnover and profits.
 Consequently, there is virtual certainty of realisation in respect of
 Deferred Tax Asset mainly resulting from unabsorbed depreciation and
 carried forward losses. Accordingly, the Company had recognised
 Deferred Tax Asset amounting to Rs. 2148.17 Lacs, in the Financial
 Accounts for the 18 months ended 30th September 2007, considering 
 unabsorbed depreciation and unabsorbed business losses upto 31.03.2007. 
 The Company has recognised further Deferred Tax Asset amounting to Rs.
 505.98 lacs in the Financial Accounts for the period of 18 months ended
 31.03.2009, mainly resulting from Unabsorbed Depreciation upto
 31.03.2009 and Unabsorbed Business Losses upto 31.03.2008.  The Company
 will also recognise Deferred Tax Asset resulting from further
 Unabsorbed Depreciation and further Unabsorbed Business Losses,
 after completing sale of fixed assets of the Company at its Ambamath
 factory.
 
 8. (a) The non-viable operations of the Company''s fertiliser and
 chemical business at its Ambemath factory had resulted in continued
 losses and delayed payment of wages and salaries to employees for last
 several months. With a view to reduce losses, the Management had
 submitted its Charter of Demands on the Company''s recognised Union at
 Ambemath, which has been rejected by the Union. The Management,
 therefore, has suspended the operations of its Ambemath factory, with
 effect from 23rd January, 2009 and has issued a notice of Lock Out of
 the said factory with effect from 9th February, 2009. Consequently, the
 Company has not provided for the employees cost with effect from 9th
 February, 2009 (being not payable), in respect of those employees who
 are covered by Lock Out.
 
 The Company''s recognised Union at Ambemath requested the Industrial
 Court, Maharashtra, at Thane to grant various interim reliefs
 (including granting of stay on the effect, implementation, and
 operation of the afforsaid notice of Lock Out). This request of the
 Union was rejected by the Industrial Court, Maharashtra, at Thane.
 
 Subsequently, the Company signed a Memorandum of Agreement dated 30th
 June 2010 with the Company''s recognised Union at Ambarnath, under which
 a Voluntary Separation Scheme was introduced for the workmen at
 Ambemath (including workmen of Head Office). Accordingly ail workmen at
 the Company''s Ambarnath factory (including workmen of Head Office) have
 since applied for Voluntary Separation from the services of the
 Company. The Separation Compensation (aggregating to Rs.707.01 lacs)
 payable to all these workmen has been provided in the books of account
 for the extended Financial Year ended 30/06/2010 and same has since
 been paid to these workmen in August, 2010 alongwith all other legal
 dues.
 
 (b) The Company has obtained the requisite approval of the shareholders
 under section 293(1 )(a) of the Companies Act, 1956 for sale / transfer
 / disposal of its Land, Factory Buildings and Plant & Machinery at its
 Ambemath factory. (Written Down Value of the Fixed Assets of the
 Company at its Ambemath factory as on 31.03.2011 is Rs. 2380.12 lacs).
 Therefore, while reporting Segment Results, in Note No. 18 to the
 accounts, depreciation of Ambarnath factory has been shown separetly
 and remaining loss of Ambarnath factory has been included in
 Others/Unallocated Expenditure. Also, Fixed Assets, Current Assets
 and Current Liabilities relating to the Ambarnath factory of the
 Company have been excluded for segment-wise reporting of Capital
 Employed.
