Notes:
1. The Company has only one reportable business segment, i.e. "Agri Care". The Company’s business is seasonal in nature and hence quarterly figures are not representative of the  full year's performance.
 
2. Consistent with past practice, Sales for the six months ended 30th September, 2010 are net of estimated returns of ` 3,687 lacs (April - September 2009 ` 4,123 lacs), in respect  of seasonal sales, which, in Management's opinion, may need to be reviewed dependent on future circumstances. Sales returns are accounted at actuals at the financial year end.
 
3. The Bayer Companies worldwide place great importance on protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. Pursuant to the cessation of manufacturing activities at Thane, the Company has incurred expenses towards Demolition and Remediation activities. These ongoing activities will allow the Thane Site to be left in a safe state with human an health and environmental risks mitigated to generally accepted levels in industrialised countries.
 
4.There were no investor complaints pending at the beginning and at the end of the quarter. The Company has received three investor's complaints during the quarter and have been resolved.
