2.The Company has, on 16th August 2004, signed Definitive Agreements with NatSteel Limited, Singapore to invest in all of NatSteel’s steel business for cash. NatSteel will spin off its entire steel business into a wholly owned subsidiary, NatSteel Asia Pte Ltd subsequent to which Tata Steel will acquire 100% of equity interest in that company. The enterprise value of the acquisition is approximately Rs. 1,313 crores subject to certain adjustments including those of any net debt, minority interest, other liabilities and for changes in working capital.

3.The Company reinstated its policy of amortisation of employee separation benefits in the last quarter of 2003-04 in view of the revision of Accounting Standard AS-26 in March 2004 to exclude employee termination benefits from the scope of the standard. Had the changes been implemented in the first half of 2003-04, the profit before tax for that half and the second quarter would have been higher by Rs. 49.70 crores and Rs. 0.42 crores respectively. Corresponding figures for Employee Separation Compensation for the previous periods under column (2) and (4) of item 8(a) have not been recast.

4.The Company has, on 12th August 2004, issued Bonus Shares in the ratio 1:2. The Earnings per Share (EPS) for the previous periods under column (2), (4) and (5) have been recomputed in accordance with the Accounting Standard AS-20.
