Notes:

  1. Antidumping duties and import restrictions imposed by the USA on Indian Steel exports resulted in excess availability of steel in the domestic market. Consequently, steel prices were under pressure. The cost reduction programme by the company has partly offset the loss of margin.

  2. Commercial production of Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL II) of Cold Rolling Complex at Jamshedpur commenced on 1st July 2001.

  3. The company has privately placed the following Secured Non-Convertible Debentures during the quarter :

    9.9% aggregating Rs100 crore ( second week of July 2001)
    9.5% aggregating Rs100 crore ( third week of August 2001)
    9.45% aggregating Rs50 crore ( second week of September 2001)

  4. The company has exercised the early redemption option on 14% Secured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures aggregating Rs50 crore on 11th August 2001.

  5. Pursuant to Standard on Accounting for Taxes on Income the company has recorded a net cumulative deferred tax laibility of Rs1069 crore upto 31.03.2001 (reported at Rs1128 crore in the quarter ended 30th June 2001) as reduction in General Reserve.  Further the impact of Deferred Tax Liability of Rs2.92 crore for the half year ended on 30th September 2001 has been debited to Profit & Loss Account.
