Notes
1.       Including Anagram Finance Limited (AFL). These results comprise of the
         reported profit of the company Rs. 7264.6 million and Rs. 2084.7
         million for the period ended December 31, 1998 and quarter ended
         December 31, 1998 respectively and loss of AFL of Rs. 58.1 million and
         a profit of Rs. 49.4 million for each of the above periods which have
         not been adjusted for alignment of accounting policies of AFL with the
         company.

2.       Considering the potential problems which may arise on account of Year
         2000 rollover on the computer accounting systems of the company, the
         accounts for the period ended December 31, 1999 are prepared
         considering transactions upto December 22, 1999.

3.       Provision against Standard assets of Rs. 50 million for the period
         ended December 31, 1999 has been charged to Revenue Account. Such
         provision has been appropriated out of Special Reserve for the year
         ended March 31, 1999.

4.       (a) The company has changed the method of providing for depreciation
         on fixed assets other than assets given on lease from written down
         value method to straight line method at the rates prescribed in
         Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Consequently, for the period
         ended December 31, 1999 depreciation is lower and profit after tax is
         higher by Rs. 186.4 million. Accumulated depreciation provided in
         earlier years Rs. 395.3 million has been written-back. Accordingly,
         surplus carried to Balance Sheet is higher by Rs. 581.7 million.

         (b) The company has capitalized software expenses as against the
         earlier policy of treating it as a deferred revenue expenditure and
         amortizing it over the period(s) during which the benefits are
         expected to arise. Consequently amount written-off in the earlier
         years Rs. 19.5 million (net of income-tax Rs. 1.9 million) has been
         written-back. As a result of this change, profit after tax for the
         period is higher by Rs. 32.3 million and surplus carried to the
         Balance Sheet is higher by Rs. 51.8 million.

5.       Adjustments as required by SEBI guidelines to recast the results of the
         corresponding previous periods as per the present accounting policies
         as stated in Note 4 above.

6.       The company has achieved a smooth transition into Year 2000 and its
         systems are Y2K compliant.

7.       The above results were taken on record by the Board of Directors of the
         Company at its meeting held on January 28, 2000.
