Auditors have qualified their opinion on the results for the year ended 31st December 2005 (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 and the asset turnover ratio. Further this treatment has no impact on profits for the year or reserves.
