Notes

1.     Incremental Provision of Rs.100 million against Standard Assets for the
       year ended March 31, 2000 has been charged to Revenue Account. During
       the year ended March 31, 1999 such provision of Rs.110.0 million, being
       the cumulative provision against standard assets as on March 31, 1999
       made for the first time, had been appropriated out of Special Reserve.

2.     (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
       to the Companies Act, 1956. Consequently, for the year ended March 31,
       2000 depreciation is lower and profit after tax is higher by Rs.226.4
       million. Depreciation rendered excess in earlier years Rs.390 million
       has been written-back. Accordingly, surplus carried to Balance sheet is
       higher by Rs.616.4 million.

       (b) The company has capitalised software expenses as against the earlier
       policy of treating it as deferred revenue expenditure and amortizing it
       over the period(s) during which the benefits are expected to accrue.
       Consequently profit after tax for the year is higher by Rs.22.3 million.
       Amount written-off in the earlier years Rs.15.4 million (net of
       income-tax Rs.1.8 million) has been written-back. Accordingly, surplus
       carried to Balance sheet is higher by Rs.37.7 million.

3.     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 2 above.

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