The auditors have carried out a limited review of the financial results for the half year ended 30th June 2006 as per clause 41 of the Listing Agreemet with the Stock Exchange. Auditors have qualified their opinion on the results for the half year ended 30th June 2006 (as in the prior periods) for inclusion of inter unit sales in net sales & raw materials consumed. The management has continued with this practice as in its view this treatement helps in correctly evaluating the operating profit ratio and the asset turnover ratio. Further this treatment has no impact on profits or reserves.
B.
There were no investor complaints pending at the beginning of the quarter. One investor complaint was received & resolved during the quarter. No complaints were pending at the end of the quarter.
C. 

The company's sole business segment is consumer packaging & all activities of the company are incidental to this business segment.

D. 
The commissioner had passed an order on 22nd September 2004 raising an excise duty demand of Rs.320 Lacs. CESTAT vide it's order dated 15th July 2005, received by the company in August 2005, has upheld the order passed by the commissioner, however, an appeal against CESTAT's order has been preferred before the Supreme Court & stay obtained. An appeal against a demand of Rs.53 Lacs on similar matter is pending before the Supreme Court. Consistent with the previous stand & based on the opinion of legal counsel, no provision is made in the financial statements.
E. Work on North India Greenfield project is progressing satisfactorily.
F. Current quarter profit has been affected by the reversal of Rs.63 Lacs of Target Plus Export Incentive accrued in previous quarter due to reduction of rate from 10% to 5% as per notification issued in June 2006 by the Government of India with retrospective effect.
G. The above results were reviewed by the audit committee & taken on record by the board in it's meeting held on 31st July 2006.
