Notes:

  1. Restoration and replacement work of the Turbines and other facilities damaged in the fire of 2 March 2001 at Mithapur is progressing well. Sales and operating income includes an amount of Rs. 16 crore on account of standing charges (fixed cost) incurred during the quarter, recoverable under the Loss of Profit Policy.
  2. Pending fixation of retention price by the Government, revenue from sale of Urea is recognised on the basis of provisional Retention Price notified by the Government. Claims for escalation and input costs, interest subsidy and freight net of settlements are accounted pending final issuance of Government notification.
  3. In accordance with the requirements under new Accounting Standard (Accounting for Taxes on Income – AS22) relating to compulsory provision for deferred taxation the tax provision for the quarter April-June 2001 is lower by Rs. 1.21 crore, (arising mainly from difference between book depreciation and income-tax depreciation). The deferred tax provision relating to previous years amounting to Rs. 439.26 crore has been adjusted against the reserves as on 1 April 2001 and the reserves now stand at Rs. 1325.48 crore.
  4. Figures for quarter ended 30 June 2001 are not comparable with those of corresponding period last year, as the operating results of Sabras Investment & Trading Company Limited which has since been merged with the Company, were not then reflected pending completion of legal formalities.

This has been taken on record in the board meeting of date.
