The auditors have carried out a limited review of the financial results for the quarter ended 30th September 2006 as per clause 41 of the Listing Agreement with Stock Exchange. Auditors have qualified the opinion on the results for the quarter ended 30th September 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 & 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.

CESTAT's vide its order dated 15th July 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 Supreme Court. Consistent with previous stand & based on the opinion of legal counsel, no provision is made in the financial statements.
E.

G.
(1) Consequent to floods on 26th July 2005 at Thane plant an insurance claim was made for damaged assets. Claim has been settled during the quarter. The Extraordinary item represents the difference between the settlement amount, the expenditure already incurred upto 30 September 2006 and provision of Rs.561 lacs estimated to be further incurred on repairs to give a true and fair view of the surplus.
(2) The surplus is being utilised for replacing the damaged discarded equipment. In accordance with accounting standard 10 the cost of new equipment will be capitalised.
(3) The auditors have qualified their opinion, as in their opinion the provision for repairs is not in accordance with accounting standard 29.
H.
The above results were reviewed by the audit committee & taken on record by the board in it's meeting held on 27th October 2006.
