Notes:

  1. The income from operations for the quarter and six months ending September 30, 2004 grew by 26% and 24% respectively over the corresponding periods of the preceding year driven by increase in arrivals into India, together with growth in domestic travel.
  2. Increase in other expenditure reflects the impact of increase in operating expenses commensurate with the enhanced sales. This expenditure includes:
    • A provision of Rs5.85 crore being the impact of "mark to market" of the company's foreign currency assets and liabilities as on September 30, 2004.
    • An increase of Rs5.19 crore in fees paid to consultants associated with on going initiatives relating to staff training, and upgradation of products and service standards.
  3. In view of the seasonality of the business, the financial results for the first half of the year are not indicative of the full year's performance.
  4. Disclosure on Investors' complaints:
  5. Complaints outstanding at the beginning of the quarter

    Received during the quarter

  6. Disclosure of segment wise information is not applicable as hoteliering is the company's only business segment.
  7. Figures for the previous quarter and six months ended September 30, 2003, and for the year ended March 31, 2004 have been regrouped wherever necessary to conform to the current quarter's and half year's presentation.
  8. The aforementioned results were reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board and subsequently taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on October 21, 2004.
