(1)  The above standalone financial results were reviewed by the Audit
Committee and then approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on
July 25, 2014. 
 
(2)  The statutory auditors have conducted a limited review of the above
results. 
 
(3)  In terms of the proviso to clause 3(i) of Part A of Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), the Company has, after technical assessment,
decided to retain the useful life / residual value hitherto adopted for
various categories of fixed assets, which are in certain cases, different from
those prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. The Company believes that based on
the policy followed by it of continuous and periodic assessment, the estimated
useful life and residual value adopted so far is appropriate.
