 amount from IDBI, IDBI remitted SFR.7,339,672 (equivalent
 Rs.205,510,823) on 22nd December 2000 towards full and final settlement
 of UBS dues.
 
 b) The aforesaid payment by IDBI to UBS is disputed by the Company and
 is sub-judice in a suit filed by the Company in the Bombay High Court
 and also subject matter of recovery proceedings initiated by IDBI
 before debt recovery tribunal. However, as a matter of abundant
 caution and without prejudice to the Companys claim in the legal
 proceedings, the Company has accounted for the same.

 International Arbitration (LCIA) on 16th November, 2000, with respect
 to the total failure of the Plant and the Mura Process supplied by the
 foreign collaborators, the Company has till date not received the award
 amount of SFR 3,158,200 with simple interest @ 8.5% p.a. Based on a
 legal opinion obtained from an expert with respect to uncertainty in
 receipt of the aforesaid award money and relied upon by the auditors,
 the same will be dealt with appropriately in the year of actual
 receipt.
 
 7. a) The Companys net worth has been fully eroded due to losses which
 is mainly on account of the Company not being able to manufacture Super
 and Electro Conductive grade of carbon black in view of total failure
 on the part of the foreign collaborators to prove the performance of
 the plant and the process under the foreign collaboration agreement.
 Substantial modifications to the Plant and Process were carried out by
 the Companys indigenous technical team to manufacture rubber grade
 carbon black. Presently, the operations of the plant are under
 suspension interalia, due to financial constraints Further, BIFR has,
 vide its order dated 19th June, 2003 recommended winding up of the

 consideration. On grant of relief and concessions from the Financial
 Institutions and Government, the management expects to revive the
 operations and therefore, the accounts are prepared on going concern
 basis.
 
 b) In view of the closure of Plant operations since April 2000, the
 Building, Plant & Machinery, Storage Tanks, Electrical installations,
 Factory Equipment, Furniture & Fittings and Vehicles etc. started
 deteriorating, however, since Companys indigenous technical team has
 successfully manufactured and sold rubber grades of Carbon Black, it
 may have reasonable value. However, considering uncertainty in the
 matter and in the absence of independent assessment, deterioration in
 respect of Building, Plant & Machinery, Storage Tanks, Electrical
 Installations, Factory Equipment, Furniture & Fittings and Vehicles
 etc. cannot be evaluated.
 
 c) Due to the continuing financial crisis, the insurance for Plant &
 Machinery etc could not be renewed after November 2002.
 
 8. As a matter of abundant caution and without prejudice to the
 Companys appeals pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal

 during construction period, based on the orders of the
 Commissioner-Income Tax (Appeals).

 worth. Presently, the operations of the plant are under suspension

 recognised in the accounts
