Auditors have qualified their opinion on the results for the quarter ended 30th September 2007 (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 treatment helps in correctly evaluating the operating profit ratio & the asset turnover ratio. Further this treatment has no impact on profits for the quarter.
B.
There were no investor complaints pending at the beginning & at the end of the quarter. No investor complaint was received during the quarter.
C. 

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

D. 
Other Income for Q3-2007 includes profit of Rs. 95 Lacs realised on sale of a residential property. Other Income for Q3-2006 included profit of Rs.139 Lacs realised on the disposal of leasehold land.
E.
Consequent to the applicability of Accounting Standard AS 11 (Revised 2003), exchange fluctuation on revaluation of liabilities \ loans incurred for acquiring fixed assets from countries outside India has been recognised in the profit and loss account, as against the earlier policy of adjusting the same in the carrying cost of the related fixed assets. Accordingly, Other income for the Q3-2007 and nine months ended 30th September 2007 includes an exchange loss of Rs.21 Lacs & exchange gain of Rs. 17 Lacs on this account respectively and consequently, profit is lower by Rs.21 Lacs & higher by Rs.17 Lacs in the respective periods. Net effect of the same on the previous year is not expected to be material & has not been quantified.
F.
The exceptional item of Rs. 318 Lacs has arisen out of the Supreme Court judgement received by the company on a contested matter on excise duty which was shown as contingent liability in the past years' financial statements. Provision has been done in Q2-2007 based on the legal advice obtained. The Company's review petition is pending before the Supreme Court.
G.
Extra Ordinary Item during Q3-2006 of Rs.1208 Lacs represents the difference between the insurance claim settlement amount, the expenditure already incurred & further provision made towards repairs to be incurred in connection with damages to fixed asets at Thane Plant consequent to floods on 26th July 2005.
H.
Provision for current taxes is net of write back in Q3-2007 of excess provision for earlier periods of Rs.150 Lacs.
I.
Specialised Pouching facility as Silvassa Plant & Specialised Printing Line at Hyderabad have commenced production during the current quarter.
J.
The above results were reviewed by the audit committee & taken on record by the board in it's meeting held on 26th October 2007.
