Note:
1 Ammonia and Urea Plants were shutdown for catalysts change and other jobs in Ammonia Plant from 20.12.2005 and continued upto 03.02.2006 during the Quarter ended March 31, 2006. 
2 NPK Plants were shutdown for 53 days and 230 days during the quarter and period ended March 31, 2006 respectively on account of raw material (Phos Acid) limitation.
3 Fertilizer manufacturing being the only main segment and trading operations being less than 10% of the total revenue, there is no reportable segment in MFL as per AS 17 (Segment Reporting)
4 In view of the loss incurred by the Company during the period provision for current tax is not considered necessary.  Also, as a prudent policy no deferred tax asset has been recognised per AS 22 (Accounting for Taxes on Income)
5 Details of Investors complaints and services during the quarter:  Pending at the beginning of the Quarter: 2,  Received:  42,  Disposed Off: 44 and Pending at the end of the Quarter: Nil.
6 With regard to Auditor's opinion that the Company is not a `GOING CONCERN' but a `GONE CONCERN', it is stated that the Company has represented to the GOI that the policy on pricing of NPK since Apr 2002 and on Urea from Apr 2003 have adversely affected its profitability.  Consequently, the Company has been making huge losses.   The Networth has been fully eroded on 31.3.2004.   The Company has been urging the GOI to make suitable corrections in the Pricing Policies. The DOF referred the Company to BRPSE.   BRPSE recommended certain relief measures amounting to Rs.204 Cr.   The decision of the Govt of India on these recommendations is awaited.   In the current environment, the Company would be able to achieve 100% Urea production and 25% NPK production during 2006-07.   The loss for the year 2006-07 would be around Rs.90 Cr.
7 The above results have been reviewed and recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on June 29, 2006.
