Note
1 Ammonia and Urea Plants were shutdown till 03.05.2007 for statutory inspection of Boilers and Annual Turnaround 2007.
2 NPK Plants were shutdown for 91 days and 347 days during the quarter and period ended March 31, 2008 respectively on account of raw material 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 : Nil,  Received:23,  Disposed Off:23 and Pending at the end of the Quarter : Nil
6 With regard to Auditor's opinion that the Company’s accounts should NOT have been complied on 'GONE CONCERN' basis, it is stated that the Company has represented to the GOI that the policy on pricing of NPK since Apr 2002 and of Urea from Apr 2003 have adversely affected its profitability. Consequently, the Company has been making huge losses.  The networth has been fully eroded on 31.03.2004.  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 for revival of the Company. Meanwhile, M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India (P) Ltd have been engaged as Consultant to assist in preparing the revival plan. Based on their recommendations a Financial Restructuring package aimed at making the operations of the Company commercially viable will be submitted for the consideration of Government.
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 25, 2008.
