 In the absence of a toll hike, the income from operations has been
 maintained at last year''s level. The Company has incurred a revenue
 loss of Rs. 66.41 Million and Rs. 167.56 Million for FY 2009-10 and FY
 2010-11 respectively, due to non-notification of revised toll tariffs by
 NOIDA and consequent inability to implement toll hikes.
 
 The Profit before Tax (PBT) has increased marginally. The Profit after
 Tax, however, has increased substantially due to recognition of Minimum
 Alternate Tax (MAT) credit.
 
 As per the Concession Agreement with the NewOkhla Industrial
 Development Authority (NOIDA), the Company is entitled to recover
 project cost together with agreed rate of return during the Concession
 period. The outstanding amount in this regard is determined at periodic
 intervals by the Independent Auditor appointed under the provision of
 the Concession Agreement.  outstanding amount as on March 31, 2011
 amounts to Rs. 2,011 crores.
 
 REPAYMENT OF DEBT
 
 As per the terms of the debt restructuring approved by the Corporate
 Debt Restructuring Empowered Group of Banks and Financial Institutions
 (CDR), the Company issued Zero Coupon Bonds (ZCB-Series B) of Rs. 555.4
 million to Banks, Financial Institutions and others, repayable no later
 than March 31, 2014, towards the Net Present Value of the sacrifice made
 by them.  The Company has repaid the entire outstanding ZCB –B
 liability during the current fnancial year.
 
 DIVIDEND
 
 The Directors have, after obtaining approval from the CDR Empowered
 Group of Banks and FIs (CDR), paid it''s frst dividend @ 5% (Rs. 0.50
 per share) for the fnancial year 2010-11. The Directors recommend that
 the above dividend be confrmed and declared as the fnal dividend for
 the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
 The Directors anticipate that initially a relatively low level of
 dividend payment, relative to profits, will be appropriate, but a
 policy of aiming to progressively increase the proportion of profits
 distributed to shareholders by way of dividend will be pursued. So long
 as the Company is under the debt restructuring scheme approved by the
 CDR Empowered Group of Banks & FIs (CDR), however, dividend cannot be
 paid without the prior consent of the CDR.
 
 OPERATIONS
 
 The traffic has marginally declined by 1.8% during Financial Year
 2010-11, over the previous year. The average daily traffic (ADT) during
 the year was 102,394 vehicles as against 104,277 vehicles in the
 previous year.
 
 The Average Toll Revenue/Day has decreased to Rs. 1.91 million in FY
 2010 -11, from Rs. 1.93 million in Financial Year 2009-10, showing a
 decrease of around 1%.
 
 The toll rates were increased on February 15, 2011, but due to
 non-notification of revised toll rates by New Okhla Industrial
 Development Authority (NOIDA), the Company had to roll back the fee
 hike on February 17, 2011.
