2. The Company has, on 17th November 2004, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Orissa for setting up a six million tonne green-field integrated Steel Plant at Kalinganagar in Jajpur District of Orissa.

3. The company has, during the quarter, sold its holding in Tata Honeywell Limited (8,75,000 shares) and Stewarts and Lloyds of India Limited (2,99,925 shares). Consequently, Stewarts and Lloyds of India Limited has ceased to be a subsidiary of Tata Steel.

4. 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 beginning of 2003-04, the profit before tax for those nine-months would have been higher by Rs. 48.50 crores and profit before tax for that third quarter would have been lower by Rs. 1.20 crores respectively. Corresponding figures for Employee Separation Compensation for the previous periods have not been recast.

5. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard AS-28, introduced with effect from 1st April 2004, the company has, on that date, made an adjustment of Rs. 97.48 crores against the opening balance of the general reserve on account of impairment of assets.

6. 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.
