Factors to watch for
-Revenues to expand just about 2% due to higher base of Q4CY07 and absence of big exclusivity in US
-Currency appreciation to impact
-Expect improvement in EBIDTA margins due to higher growth in semi-regulated markets ( including Romania)
-Higher Depreciation and interest cost  will  result in PAT de-growth
-Drop in profit is also because of lower forex gains during the quarter as compared to Q4CY07
