projects under development to be exploited as Telivision Series/Films
and others. Based on review of estimated future realizations the
management is of the view that estimated future recoverable amount from
these projects are more than its carrying unamortized cost and
consequently no provision for impairment is considered necessary by the
management at this stage.

NIL. The Company has preferred appeals in Hon''ble High Court against
the subject orders. In the opinion of the management the manner of
adjustment of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of business
losses by the department is not appropriate and based on professional
advice the management is confident of succeeding in appeals and get the
unabsorbed depreciation/ carry forward of business losses restored. On
a prudent basis the company has not recognised any deferred tax asset
