 in 9 months from our first country deployment. The RBT ARPU for us in
 LATAM is 2x-3x from that of India.
 
 b) OnMobile launched RBT services in Vodafone Egypt which has a 26M
 total subscriber base, as part of our multi-operator global project for
 Vodafone, the migration from the in-house developed system was
 accomplished in an accelerated timeframe and early revenue traction
 that was very encouraging.

 India and abroad, allowing them to increase their subscribers'' base by
 reaching out to more users leveraging the viral effect of social
 networking site.

 provider across all their music service offerings. OnMobile is
 replacing the basic service from the current service provider and
 extending it to multi format and multi channel.

 developed over eight years, by Silicon Valley based Dilithium Networks

 In terms of the provision of Section 58A of the Companies Act, 1956
 read with the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits Rules) 1975, the
 Company has not accepted any fixed deposits during the year under
 review.
 
 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN (ESOP)
 
 The Company had approved following Employee Stock Option Schemes i.e.
 Employee Stock Option Plan-I, 2003, Employee Stock Option Plan-II,
 2003, Employee Stock Option Plan-III, 2006, Employee Stock Option
 Plan-I,
 
 2007, Employee Stock Option Plan-II, 2007 and Employee Stock Option
 Plan-I, 2008, Employee Stock Option Plan-II,
 
 2008, ESOP-III, 2008, ESOP-IV, 2008, ESOP-I 2010, and ESOP-II, 2010 for
 granting stock options to its employees.  All the schemes endeavor to
 provide incentives and retain employees who contribute to the growth of
 the Company. A summary disclosure in compliance with the Securities and
 Exchange Board of India (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
 Stock Purchase Scheme Guidelines, 1999), as amended, is presented as
 below and the complete details have been disclosed under Notes to
 Accounts Schedule 19 which forms part of the Annual Report. During the
 year under review there has been no variation in the terms of ESOP
 schemes.
 
 No employee is receiving 5% or more of the total number of options
 granted during the year.
 
 The Company accounted the above options using the intrinsic value
 method and thus, the difference between the fair value of the
 underlying shares at the time of grant and the options exercise value
 was charged to the profit and loss account.  Accordingly, the
 compensation charge thereon in the current year is Rs.0.04 Million
 (Previous year-Rs.0.11 Million). If the Company had accounted the
 option under fair value method, amortizing the stock compensation
 expense thereon over the vesting period, the reported profit for the
 year ended March 31, 2011 would have been lower by Rs.95.65 Million
 (Previous year- Rs.21.05 Million) and Basic and diluted EPS would have
 been revised to Rs.14.0/- (Previous year- Rs 8.7/- ) and Rs
 13.6/-(Previous year- Rs 8.5/-) respectively as compared to Rs 15.6/-
 (Previous year- Rs 9.2/- ) and Rs 15.2/- (Previous year- Rs 9.0/- )
 without such impact
