Note :    

 

1)       The previous Financial Year 2001-2002 comprises 13 months.

 

2)       Production of Complex Fertilizers had to be restricted to low loads because of lower sales due to monsoon failure and the resultant high inventory.

 

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.

 

4)       As in the earlier years, the Statutory Auditors have made a comment in their Report on Annual Accounts 2001-02 in respect of Retention Price Subsidy (RPS).  According to them, the Company has taken credit amounting to Rs 67.18 Cr during the earlier year pending notification by Fertilizer Industries Coordination Committee (FICC).  The Company is of the view that the claims accounted by the Company are based on the realistic estimates, which are reasonable, legitimate, and fully in line with FICC norms.  The Unaudited Results of the current year is made reckoning these FICC claims.

 

5)       Consequent to the revision in the retention price of Urea on account of implementation of Policy parameters approved for VII and VIII pricing periods, the benefits accruing to the Company (Rs 25.65 Cr) for the period April 2002 to December 2002 have been duly recognised.  However, the effect of the revision for the earlier period upto 31/3/2002 will be accounted on receipt of full settlement details.

 

6)       Consequent to the onetime settlement of M/s National Fertilizers Ltd. Loan with waiver of interest, an amount of Rs.21.32 Cr accrued upto Mar 2002  and Rs 22.44 Cr accrued upto April 2002 have been taken credit in the books of account as extraordinary item during the quarter.

 

7)       In view of the loss incurred by the Company during the period provision for current tax is not considered necessary.  Also, as the availability of future taxable income is not virtually certain, no deferred tax asset has been recognised per AS-22.

 

8)       The above results were taken on record at the meeting of Committee of Directors on Jan 22, 2003.
