SUMMARY

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements andthe notes to such statements included elsewhere in this offering circular.

Business Description

Radico Khaitan is the second largest producer and distributor of branded liquor in India. The

Company produces and distributes a variety of liquors, including whisky, rum, brandy, vodka and gin. The

Company manufactures its products at its distillation facility located in Rampur, in the state of Uttar Pradesh,

and maintains five owned bottling units and 32 contract bottling units (each, a ""Contracted Bottling Unit'').

The Company owns and produces three brands with sales of over one million cases per annum (""MCA''),

referred to in the domestic market as ""millionaire brands'', namely, 8PM whisky (4.1 MCA), Contessa rum

(2.3 MCA) and Old Admiral brandy (1.3 MCA), each as at 31 March 2006. The Company also continues its

historic business of producing extra-neutral alcohol (""ENA''), the purified form of alcohol derived from the

distillation of molasses, which it sells to other companies in India and worldwide for use in the manufacture of

various alcoholic beverages. In the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006, Radico generated consolidated total net

revenues of Rs.4,945.11 million (US$111.71 million), and consolidated EBITDA of Rs.872.09 million

(US$19.54 million).

The Indian market for liquor has been growing at a compound annual growth rate (""CAGR'') of 9%

over the past decade with higher growth rates of approximately 12% in each of 2005 and 2006. The total value

of the current market has grown to an estimated US$7.5 billion from US$4.0 billion three years ago. This

growth has been driven by a number of factors, including the growing acceptance of alcohol consumption in

India, particularly among younger people, the emergence of a middle class with growing disposable incomes

and the increasing urbanisation of the country. Additional growth is being driven by gradual deregulation of

the liquor industry by various state governments. According to third-party industry reports, in addition to the

domestic liquor market in India, there exists an unregulated and unorganised sector, which does not comply

with all industry and government laws and regulations, including the payment of excise taxes. Although there

are no reliable figures on the size of the unregulated liquor producing sector, it is estimated to be at least as

large as the regulated sector. The regulated market, in which the Company operates, is comprised of

approximately 25 premium liquor manufacturers and 41 distillers. The UB Group has the largest share of the

liquor market in India at 55% and Radico, the second largest, has a 10% market share.

The Company has gradually changed its primary focus from being largely a spirits manufacturer and

bottler for other liquor companies towards being a manufacturer of its own branded liquors. The Company is

now focusing its marketing efforts on fast growing segments of the Indian liquor market Ì namely, ""foreign''

liquors such as whisky, rum, brandy and vodka, supported by a team of marketing professionals who promote

the Company's Indian-made foreign liquor (""IMFL''). IMFL is an industry term of art used to describe

""foreign'' liquors that are now made in India, which are distinguished from traditional ""country'' liquor, which

has been historically manufactured in India. Within each sector of the IMFL industry, the Company has

launched brands with price positioning aimed at the emerging middle class. The Company's brand portfolio

includes 8PM, Whytehall, Contessa and Old Admiral. In response to rapid growth in vodka consumption, the

Company also has recently launched Magic Moments vodka. In addition, the Company produces lower-end

branded ""country'' liquor, which accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's consolidated revenues

for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006. The Company does not anticipate that ""country'' liquor will be a

significant line of its business going forward.

The Company owns and operates three modern distilleries for the production of molasses-based,

grain-based and malt-based spirits, with an annual capacity of 60 million, 27 million and 0.46 million litres,

respectively. The molasses-based and malt-based distilleries operate at over 95% of capacity and the molasses-

based spirit has received recognition internationally, including accreditation by Bacardi International for

meeting its international production specifications. The plant was also the first Indian distillery to receive the

ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2001.

2


The Company's primary raw material is molasses, which it sources from local producers and then

ferments and distills into potable liquor. The Company also sources raw materials such as wheat, sorghum,

rice and barley for its grain- and malt-based spirits from neighbouring states. Finished liquor is then bottled by

either the Company's bottling facilities or Contracted Bottling Units. The Company seeks to control quality

and efficiency throughout each step of the process from the procurement of raw material through final

distribution. In addition, the Company's plants are supported by its bio-gas co-generation facility which

provides a reliable and cost-effective power supply.

The Company's shares are listed on the Indian Exchanges. In the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006,

Radico Khaitan had consolidated net revenues of Rs.4,945.11 million (US$111.71 million) compared to

Rs.4,329.24 million (US$97.01 million) in fiscal 2005, representing an increase of 14.22%. In fiscal 2006, the

Company recorded a profit after tax of Rs.450.33 million (US$10.20 million), compared to Rs.358.56 million

(US$8.04 million) in fiscal 2005, representing an increase of 25.96%.

Competitive Strengths

Radico Khaitan believes its competitive strengths are:

Strong Brands and Distribution: The Company's portfolio includes its three ""millionaire brands'':

8PM whisky, Contessa rum and Old Admiral brandy, which sold 4.1 MCA, 2.3 MCA and 1.3 MCA,

respectively, in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006. The Company also has recently launched its MagicMoments vodka, which is targeted primarily at the younger generation, and is continuing to strengthen and

broaden the Magic Moments brand. The Company has successfully launched various liquor brands in India

over the last 10 years. The Company's brand-building activities are complemented by competitive pricing

strategies and a team of marketing and distribution professionals who reach a wide range of liquor points of

sale throughout India.

Well Established Company with National Presence: The Company is a well established participant

in the Indian liquor industry and has a presence throughout India. The Company has an extensive regulatory

compliance system, including state bottling licences and Indian Government industrial licences for the

distillation and production of alcohol, which allow it to operate on a national level. These licences are difficult

to obtain, and presently the Indian Government is not issuing any new licences. In addition to the regulatory

licences, the industry is subject to a ban on advertising liquor products. However, the Company already has

well established brands, which the Company believes have strong brand loyalty. The Company has an

extensive network of bottling facilities across India and maintains modern distillation facilities. In addition, the

Company has established an effective marketing presence, which requires significant cost and effort to

promote the brands.

Lower Cost of Production: The Company enjoys cost advantages due to the economies of scale of its

operations and the location of its manufacturing facilities, which are close to molasses-producing regions in the

state of Uttar Pradesh. Radico Khaitan is also able to derive cost savings from its co-generation plant, which

enables the Company to be self-sufficient for its power needs. Further, the Company's modern production

facilities enable it to process raw materials more efficiently.

Product Quality: The Company has won a number of awards for both the quality of its products and

the standards of its facilities. Several of the Company's brands won the Monde Selection Awards in Brussels

in 2006, including a gold medal awarded to 8PM Bermuda rum. The Company's molasses-based spirits

frequently command a premium, and are supplied to other liquor manufacturers in India as well as exported.

The Company's malt-based spirit is matured in imported sherry oak wood casks and is made to an

international standard. The Company's facilities include a recently installed grain-based distillery in Rampur

which employs modern technology and a molasses distillery that holds an ISO:2000 9001 certification.

Experienced Management Team: The Company is led by Lalit Khaitan, who has several decades of

experience in the liquor industry along with his son, Abhishek Khaitan, an industrial engineer. Together they

are supported by an experienced management team with extensive knowledge of the Indian liquor market.

Business Strategy

Radico Khaitan aspires to be India's largest domestic liquor and spirits provider, while at the same

time pursuing growth opportunities in both the domestic and international markets. In order to achieve these

objectives, the Company has adopted the following business strategies:

Focus on Brand Building: The Company intends to continue to build its brand and product portfolio

by launching a number of new brands and developing new products under existing brands. In addition, the

Company plans to continue to expand into sectors of the liquor industry where it does not currently have a

significant presence, such as the vodka market. Concurrently, the Company intends to pursue opportunities to

acquire brands which it believes will complement its existing product portfolio and its established production

and distribution networks. For example, in September 2005, the Company acquired several brands of Brihans

Maharastra Sugar Syndicate Ltd (""Brihans''), an established participant in the liquor industry. The

Company's products are on the approved list for the Canteen Stores Department (""CSD'') of the Indian

armed forces, a significant purchaser of liquor products in India.

Strengthen Presence in the Domestic Market: The Company plans to expand its domestic presence

by continuing to develop alliances with distributors and to focus on marketing. In recent years, the Company

has established a presence in several southern Indian states to complement what it believes to be an already

strong presence in northern India. The Company also intends to continue to move into the development of

higher-end IMFL products and away from the production of lower-end ""country'' liquor brands.

Expand into the International Markets: The Company has begun to move into the international

markets by launching its brands in foreign markets that have a demand for its products and by beginning to

produce certain of its products overseas in collaboration with joint venture partners. This is expected to enable

the Company to achieve greater visibility internationally, particularly where there is a large Indian diaspora.

The Company intends to establish a new brand segment to cater to these consumers and to take advantage of

other opportunities that may arise as global economic growth continues.

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Minority Investments: Radico Khaitan is participating in and

exploring selective strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and minority investments both in India and interna-

tionally to augment its capabilities and broaden its product offering. The Company is also pursuing the

establishment or acquisition of bottling facilities to augment its production and distribution strategies. A

portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be deployed towards the Company's continuing to

participate in and explore appropriate acquisitions, joint venture and investment opportunities in India and

internationally.

Corporate Information

Redemption of Bonds in the

Event of DelistingÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ To the extent permitted by applicable law, unless the Bonds have been

previously redeemed, cancelled or converted, in the event that the Shares

cease to be listed or admitted to trading on the BSE or the NSE

holder's option, to require the Issuer to redeem all of such Bondholder's

Bonds at the Early Redemption Amount. See ""Terms and Conditions of

Bondholder's Bonds at the Early Redemption Amount. See ""Terms and

Conditions of the Bonds Ì Redemption, Purchase and Cancellation Ì

Redemption of Bonds in the Event of Change of Control''.

RBI Approval Required for

Redemption ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Under current regulations of the RBI applicable to convertible bonds,

the Issuer will require the prior approval of the RBI before providing

depository for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (collectively, the

""Clearing Systems'').

Share Ranking ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds will be fully paid with full

voting rights and will rank pari passu with the Shares in issue on the

relevant Conversion Date. Shares shall not be entitled to any rights the

record date for which preceded the relevant Conversion Date. See

""Description of the Shares Ì Dividends'' and ""Terms and Conditions of

the Bonds Ì Conversion''.

of India. See ""Appendix B: Foreign Investment and Exchange

Controls''.

Clearance ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ The Bonds will be cleared through the Clearing Systems. The Clearing

entry transfer between their respective account holders.

7

Indian Taxation ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Payment of premium and interest (if any) on the Bonds made by the

Issuer will be made after deduction or withholding in respect of Indian

taxation to the extent required by law. The Issuer will gross up the net

taxable amount and will be required to account separately to the Indian

tax authorities for any withholding taxes applicable to payments attribu-

table to such tax except as provided in Condition 10 of the Terms and

Conditions. The Bonds will have the benefit of the tax concessions

available under the provisions of Section 115AC of the Income Tax Act,

as amended, of India. Under current Indian laws, tax is not payable by

the recipients of dividends on Shares.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Bonds involves risks. Prospective investors should consider carefully all of theinformation contained in this offering circular, especially the following, in evaluating the risks associated withany investment in the Bonds. Any potential investor in or purchaser of the Bonds should pay particularattention to the fact that the Company is governed by Indian legal and regulatory requirements which maydiffer from those prevailing in other countries. Prospective investors should also note that certain of thestatements in this offering circular, including information with respect to the Company's plans and strategy,constitute ""forward-looking statements'' as discussed in the section entitled ""Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements''.

Risks Related to Investments in Indian Companies

Political instability could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and the

Company's business, results of operations and financial condition in particular.

Radico Khaitan Limited is an Indian company and all of its assets and employees are located in

India. Consequently, its financial performance and the market price of its Shares and the Bonds will be

affected by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and Governmental policies, including

taxation policies, as well as political, social and economic developments affecting India.

During the past decade, the Indian Government has generally pursued policies of economic

liberalisation, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. Nevertheless, the role of the

Indian central and state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators has

remained significant. The general election in 2004 resulted in no party winning an outright majority and a

coalition government was formed. The Company can make no assurances that these liberalisation policies will

continue in the future. Government corruption, scandals, delays, irregularities and protests against privatisa-

tion could slow down the pace of liberalisation and deregulation. The rate of economic liberalisation could

change, and specific laws and policies affecting foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other matters

affecting investment in the Company's securities could change as well. A significant change in India's

economic liberalisation and deregulation policies could materially adversely affect business and economic

conditions in India generally and the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition in

particular.

Regional conflicts or natural disasters in South Asia and elsewhere could adversely affect the Indian

economy, disrupt the Company's operations and cause the Company's business to suffer.

South Asia has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among

neighbouring countries, notably involving India and Pakistan. In recent years, military confrontations between

India and Pakistan have occurred in Kashmir and disputed border regions. Military activity or terrorist attacks

in the future could influence the Indian economy by disrupting communications and making travel more

difficult, and such political tensions could create a perception that investments in Indian companies involve

higher degrees of risk. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian

companies, including the Company's Bonds and Shares and on the market for the Company's products. In

December 2004, certain parts of India were severely affected by a tsunami triggered by an earthquake in the

Indian Ocean. Although the Company's operations were not affected by the disaster, the Company cannot

provide any assurance that this will not occur in the event of future disasters.

You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Company's Shares

following your exercise of conversion rights.

Sale of the Shares issued on conversion of the Bonds, whether to an Indian resident or to a person

resident outside India and whether in India or outside India, would be subject to tax in India. Under

applicable Indian laws, a sale of Shares may be chargeable to a transaction tax and/or tax on income by way of

capital gains in India. See ""Taxation''.

10


Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers and to consider carefully the potential tax

consequences of an investment in the Bonds or Shares under the laws of India or any other applicable

jurisdiction.

The Company's ability to acquire companies located outside India depends on the approval of the RBI,

and a failure to obtain such approvals could negatively impact the Company's business and financial

prospects.

Foreign exchange laws in India presently permit Indian companies to acquire or invest in foreign

companies without any prior Governmental approval if the transaction amount does not exceed 200% of the

net worth of the Indian company as at the date of its most recent audited balance sheet. Acquisitions in excess

of the 200% net worth threshold require prior RBI approval. It is possible that a required approval from the

RBI may not be obtained. The Company's failure to obtain approvals for acquisitions of companies located

outside India in the future may restrict the Company's international growth, which could adversely affect the

Company's business and financial prospects.

The ability to sell Shares to a resident of India may be subject to certain pricing restrictions.

A person resident outside India (including a non-resident Indian) is generally permitted to transfer

by way of sale the shares held by him to any other person resident in India without the prior approval of the

RBI or the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (""FIPB''). However, it should be noted that the price at

which the aforesaid transfer takes place must comply with the pricing guidelines prescribed by the RBI in its

Circular dated 4 October 2004. The guidelines stipulate that where the shares of an Indian company are

traded on a stock exchange:

(i) the sale may be at the prevailing market price on the stock exchange if the sale is effected

through a merchant banker registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India

(""SEBI'') or through a stock broker registered with the stock exchange; or

(ii) if the transfer is other than that referred to above, the price shall be arrived at by taking the

average quotations (the average of the daily high and low) for one week preceding the date of

application with a 5% variation.

There may be less information available on the Company in Indian securities markets than in securities

markets in developed countries.

There is a difference between the level of regulation and monitoring of the Indian securities markets

and the activities of investors, brokers and other participants and that of markets in the European Union, the

United States and other developed economies. SEBI is responsible for approving disclosure and other

regulatory standards for the Indian securities markets. SEBI has issued regulations and guidelines on

disclosure requirements, insider trading and other matters. There may, however, be less publicly available

information about Indian companies than is regularly made available by public companies in developed

economies. Consequently, an investment in an Indian company, such as Radico Khaitan Limited, may be

riskier than an investment in a European or American company if investors assume that Indian markets are

subject to the same level of regulation and make available the same level of information as Western markets.

Volatile conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Bonds and the

Shares.

The Indian securities markets are smaller and can be more volatile than securities markets in more-

developed economies. The Indian Stock Exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the

prices of listed securities and the price of the Company's shares has also been volatile. For example, the

Company's stock price on the BSE ranged from a high of Rs.174.90 (approximately US$3.92) in the first

quarter of the 2006 calendar year to a low of Rs.120.35 (approximately US$2.70) in the second quarter of the

2006 calendar year until 29 June 2006. As at 29 June 2006, the closing price of the Shares on the BSE and the

NSE was Rs.146.2 and Rs.145.9, respectively (approximately US$3.28 and US$3.27, respectively).

11


Indian stock exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and

liquidity of the securities of Indian companies. These problems have included temporary exchange closures,

broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock

exchanges have from time to time imposed restrictions on trading in certain securities, limitations on price

movements and margin requirements. Further, from time to time, disputes have occurred between listed

companies and stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in some cases may have had a negative

effect on market sentiment. Similar problems could happen in the future and, if they do, they could affect the

market price and liquidity of the Shares and Bonds.

Any downgrading of India's debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact on

the Company's business.

Any adverse revisions to India's credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international

rating agencies may adversely impact the Company's ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates

and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have a material

adverse effect on the Company's business and future financial performance, its ability to obtain financing for

capital expenditures and the trading price of the Bonds or the Shares.

You may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against the Company.

Radico Khaitan Limited is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of India. All of the

Company's Directors and its executive officers and some of the experts named in this offering circular are

residents of India and nearly all of the Company's assets are located in India.

India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign

judgments; however, Section 44A of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, provides for execution of decrees

passed by courts in reciprocating territories, such territories having been declared by the Government by

notification in the Indian Official Gazette. If a decree is passed by a court of a non-reciprocating country, then

that foreign judgment if conclusive under Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 can only be enforced

by filing a suit upon that judgment. Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 governs the recognition

and enforcement of foreign judgments. The said Section 13 lists certain exceptions where foreign judgment

cannot be held to be conclusive. This provision provides that foreign judgments shall be conclusive regarding

any matter directly adjudicated upon except where:

‚ the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction;

‚ the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case;

‚ it appears on the face of the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a

refusal to recognise the law of India in cases where such law is applicable;

‚ the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice;

‚ the judgment has been obtained by fraud; or

‚ the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force in India.

Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial

information prepared and presented in accordance with Indian GAAP contained in this document.

As stated in the reports of the Company's auditors included in this offering circular, the audited

financial statements and other financial information included in this offering circular, unless otherwise

specified, are prepared and presented in conformity with Indian GAAP consistently applied during the periods

stated in those reports, except as otherwise provided therein, and no attempt has been made to reconcile

certain of the financial information given in this offering circular to any other principles or to base it on any

other standards. The IFRS financial statements included herein, for example, do not cover all periods for

which Indian GAAP financial statements are included. Indian GAAP differs from accounting principles and

auditing standards with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries, such as IFRS.

12


Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial

information prepared and presented in accordance with Indian GAAP contained in this offering circular. The

financial statements set forth herein and prepared in accordance with IFRS have not been audited or opined

on by any firm of independent auditors. In making an investment decision, investors must rely upon their own

examination of the Company, the terms of the offering of the Bonds and the financial information contained in

this offering circular.

Risks Related to the Bonds and the Company's Trading Market

There is no prior market for the Bonds and no assurance one will develop to provide liquidity for the

Bonds.

The Bonds are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. The Company

will apply to list the Bonds on the Singapore Stock Exchange. There is no assurance of such listing being

obtained. No assurance can be given that an active trading market for the Bonds will develop or as to the

liquidity or sustainability of any such market, the ability of Holders to sell their Bonds or the price at which

Holders of the Bonds will be able to sell their Bonds. If an active market for the Bonds fails to develop or is not

sustained, the trading price of the Bonds could fall. If an active trading market were to develop, the Bonds

could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial offering price of the Bonds. Whether or not the Bonds

will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including: (i) prevailing interest rates and the market for

similar securities; (ii) general economic and political conditions and the condition of the Indian industry; and

(iii) the Company's financial condition, financial performance and future prospects.

The Company may not be in a position to meet its obligations to pay or redeem the Bonds.

In certain circumstances, Bondholders may require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the

Bonds, and the Company would be required to pay all amounts then due under the Bonds. The Company may

not be able to make required payments in connection with the Bonds if the requisite regulatory approval is not

received or if the Company does not have sufficient cash flows for those payments. In particular, upon a

change of control of the Company or a Delisting of the Shares from the BSE, Bondholders may require the

Company to repurchase all (or a portion of) such Bondholders' Bonds. Following the acceleration of the

Bonds upon an event of default, the Company would be required to pay all amounts then due under the Bonds

which it may not be able to meet for reasons described elsewhere in these risk factors.

Bondholders will face the risk of fluctuations in the price of the Shares.

The market price of the Bonds is expected to be affected by fluctuations in the market price of the

Shares, and it is not possible to predict whether the price of the Shares will rise or fall. Trading prices of the

Shares will be influenced by, among other things, the Company's financial position and the results of

operations and political, economic, financial and other factors. Any decline in the price of the Shares may

have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.

Bondholders' equity stakes and potential equity stakes in the Company could become diluted in the future.

The promoters currently hold approximately 57.54% of the Shares issued by Company. When the Bonds

are converted, promoters' stakes in the Company will be diluted. In order to maintain their holdings, the Issuer

will issue securities to the promoters to counter the dilution of their holdings from the conversion of the Bonds.

Regulation 10 of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations 1997 as amended

(""Regulation 10'') provides that no acquirer is permitted to acquire shares or voting rights through market

purchases and preferential allotment pursuant to a resolution passed under section 81 of the Companies Act

1956 or any other applicable law which (taken together with shares or voting rights, if any, held by such

acquirer or by persons acting in concert with the acquirer) would entitle such to exercise more than 55% of the

voting rights in a company. Upon the issuance of those securities to the promoters the Bondholders' equity

stakes and potential equity stakes in the Company may become diluted. See ""Principal Shareholders'' for

further details.

13


Concurrently with the offering of the Bonds, the Issuer is entering into a subscription agreement with the

Manager pursuant to which it will issue securities convertible into the equity shares of the Issuer. Upon such

conversion, the Bondholders' equity stakes and potential equity stakes in the Company may become diluted.

See ""Description of the Shares Ì Issue of CCPSs'' for further details.

Holders of the Bonds will have no rights as Shareholders until they acquire the Shares upon conversion

of the Bonds.

Unless and until they acquire the Shares upon conversion of the Bonds, the holders of the Bonds will

have no rights with respect to the Shares, including any voting rights or rights to receive any regular dividends

or other distributions with respect to the Shares. Holders of Bonds who acquire the Shares upon the exercise

of a Conversion Right will be entitled to exercise the rights of holders of the Shares only as to actions for

which the applicable record date occurs after the Conversion Date.

There are limitations on the ability of Bondholders to exercise conversion rights.

The Bonds are convertible into Shares at the option of the holders pursuant to the terms of the Bonds.

Holders of the Bonds will be able to exercise their conversion right only within the Conversion Period specified

in the Bonds and will not be able to exercise their conversion right during the Closed Periods (as defined in the

""Terms and Conditions of the Bonds''). As a result, holders of Bonds cannot convert for 40 days from the date

of the Closing. In addition, Conversion Rights may not be exercised during certain other limited periods,

including (i) the date falling 20 days prior to the date of the Company's annual general shareholders' meeting

and ending on the date of that meeting, (ii) the date falling 30 days prior to an extraordinary shareholders'

meeting and ending on the date of that meeting, (iii) the date that the Company notifies the BSE and the

NSE of the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive dividends, the

subscription of shares due to capital increase or other benefits, and ending on the record date for the

distribution or allocation of the relevant dividends, rights and benefits or (iv) for such period as the Company

determines in accordance with Indian law applicable from time to time that the Company is required to close

its stock transfer books. As such, a Bondholder's ability to exercise conversion rights will be restricted during

these periods.

The Bonds and the Shares are subject to transfer restrictions.

The Bonds and the Shares are being offered in transactions not required to be registered under the

Securities Act. Therefore, the Bonds and the Shares may be transferred or resold only in a transaction

registered under or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with

any other applicable securities laws.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Rupee and the US dollar may have a material adverse

effect on the value of the Bonds in US dollar terms.

Although the principal amount of the Bonds is denominated in US dollars, the Shares are listed on

the Indian Exchanges, on which the Shares are quoted and traded in Rupees. As a result, fluctuations in the

exchange rate between the Rupee and the US dollar will affect, among other things, the secondary market

price of the Bonds and the US dollar equivalent of the Shares received upon conversion of the Bonds.

The exchange rate between the Rupee and the US dollar has changed substantially in the last two

decades and could fluctuate in the future. In recent years, the Rupee has appreciated against the US dollar. As

per the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers in Indian Rupees as certified for customs

purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Rupee appreciated from a rate of Rs.46.5669 •

US$1.00, an average for 2003, to a rate of Rs.43.6880 • US$1.00, an average for the third quarter of 2005.

The exchange rate on 31 March 2006 was Rs.44.6225 • US$1.00.

14


The imposition of foreign exchange restrictions may have an adverse effect on foreign investors' ability to

acquire Indian securities, including the Bonds and Shares, or repatriate the interest, dividends or sale

proceeds from those securities.

The Indian Government may impose foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations,

including situations where there are sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, where the Indian

Government experiences extreme difficulty in stabilising the balance of payments or where there are

substantial disturbances in the financial and capital markets in India. These restrictions may require foreign

investors to obtain the Indian Government's approval before acquiring Indian securities or repatriating the

interest or dividends from those securities or the proceeds from the sale of those securities. No assurance can

be given that these restrictions will not adversely affect, among other things, the secondary market price of the

Bonds.

Future issues or sales of Shares may significantly affect the trading price of the Bonds or the Shares.

The market price of the Bonds could decline as a result of sales of a large number of Shares on an

Indian stock exchange or elsewhere after the Offering, or the perception that such sales could occur. Such

sales also might make it more difficult for the Company to issue Shares in the future at a time and at a price

that the Company deems appropriate or favourable. Immediately after the closing of the Offering, the

Company will have an aggregate of up to 96,447,940 ordinary shares outstanding and fully subscribed.

The Bonds are unsecured making them a riskier investment than if they were secured.

The Bonds are unsecured and will rank pari passu, with no preference among Bondholders, with all

the Company's other outstanding unsecured obligations, present and future, subject to provisions of law

relating to creditors' rights generally.

No payment of principal or interest on the Bonds may be made unless the requisite approvals of the RBI

have been obtained in the event of early redemption of the Bonds.

The terms and conditions of the Bonds provide that no payments of principal or interest may be made

if requisite approvals of the RBI have not been obtained in the event of early redemption of the Bonds prior to

Maturity Date or any other applicable Indian laws and restrictions have not been complied with, which

approvals the Company will use reasonable endeavours to obtain, but the Company will not be in default for

not making payment if the requisite approvals have not been obtained.

Indian dividend taxes or surcharges could negatively affect the Company's tax liability.

The Finance Act, 2005 has fixed the tax on dividends declared, distributed or paid by Indian

companies at 12.5%, and levied a surcharge of 10% on tax and education cess of 2% on tax and surcharge. The

dividends are taxable in the hands of the companies at the rates applicable to them. The corporate tax rates

presently applied to the income of the Company in India is 30% plus a surcharge of 10% of such tax and

education cess of 2% on tax and surcharge, aggregating to 33.66%. If the Company declares or distributes a

dividend, it is required to pay additional income tax at a rate of 14.025% (including a surcharge of 10% and

education cess of 2% on tax and surcharge) on the dividend so declared or distributed. Any future changes in

tax rates in India on income or the imposition of any additional taxes or surcharges could negatively affect the

Company's tax liability.

There may be a delay from when a holder decides to convert Bonds into Shares until the time the

resulting Shares are approved to be listed and traded on the Indian Exchanges and, therefore, it is

possible that the share price may fluctuate during that period.

There will be a time gap of at least 40 days from the date on which a Bondholder advises the Paying

Agent and Conversion Agent of the intention to convert the Bonds into Shares and the date on which the

Indian Exchanges grant final approval for the Shares to be listed and traded. Within this gap, the price of the

Shares may fluctuate, which may have an adverse effect on the price that the Bondholder anticipated to

15


receive for the transfer of Shares. Further, any trade of the Shares will have to be made on a spot delivery basis

and the trade will have to be settled within the next settlement cycle.

Certain of the Company's lenders and other contractual parties may not have consented to the issue of

the Shares.

The Company is of the view that the terms of certain of its existing loan facilities and other

agreements do not require it to seek the consent of the parties to those agreements to issue the Shares.

However, certain of these parties may take a different view and in the future seek to assert such a requirement.

While the Company would resist any such assertion, in the event that a competent court or tribunal finds such

consents to have been necessary, it is likely that the Company would be considered to be in breach of such

agreements, and in the case of lending agreements, be required to repay outstanding loan amounts to relevant

lenders. The Company estimates that the maximum amount it would be required to pay in the case of loans

would amount to approximately Rs.150 million. If the Company were ordered to prematurely repay the loan, it

could have an adverse effect on the business.

The Company's landlord of the property on which its Uttar Pradesh facility is situated may not have

consented to the Issue of the Shares.

The Company has stated that certain of its existing leases may require the consent of the parties to

those agreements. However, the Company is unlikely to obtain such consent prior to the Offering of the

Bonds. Certain of these parties may seek in the future to assert such a requirement. While the Company would

resist any such assertion of a requirement to have obtained such parties' consents, in the event that a

competent court or tribunal finds such consents to have been necessary, it is likely that the Company would be

considered to be in breach of such leases and may be required to vacate the premises. If the Company were

ordered to prematurely vacate the premises, it could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial

condition, financial performance and future prospects.

Risks Related to the Company's Business

The Company's future operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate.

The Company's operating results may fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, many of

which are beyond the Company's control. The Company's results of operations during any fiscal year and from

period to period are difficult to predict. The Company's business, results of operations and financial condition

may be materially adversely affected by:

‚ changes in growth and demand for the Company's products in the Indian and global markets;

‚ a decrease in international and domestic prices for the Company's products;

‚ an increase in interest rates at which the Company can raise debt financing;

‚ adverse fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Rupee versus major international currencies,

including the US dollar;

‚ an increase in Indian import tariffs or in domestic duties;

‚ increasing transportation costs, including freight to key export markets, or the non-availability of

transportation due to strikes, shortages or for any other reason;

‚ strikes or work stoppages by the Company's employees;

‚ changes in Government policies affecting the Company's industries in India or globally; and

‚ accidents, natural disasters, outbreaks of diseases or heavy rains.

Due to these factors, Radico's past performance should not be relied upon to predict the Company's

future performance.

16


The Company does not have long-term contracts with its buyers.

Purchases by the Company's customers are mainly through purchase orders on a short-term basis or

on a fixed delivery basis. It does not have any long-term contracts with any of its customers and there is no

guarantee that its present customers will continue to procure orders from it. Any loss of its major customers

arising out of competition or from cheaper sources can lead to reduced margins and the Company's results of

operations may be affected.

Depreciation of the Rupee against foreign currencies may have a material adverse effect on the

Company's results of operations.

The Company may have long-term foreign currency exposure relating to its external commercial

borrowings from time to time. See ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations Ì Indebtedness''. The Company may also have short-term foreign currency exposure

relating to letters of credit for imports and exports such exposure will be increased, following the issue of the

Bonds, by a further US$70 million. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks by virtue of being an

exporter of its products and by maintaining overseas production, marketing and distribution ventures.

Although the Company has a policy of hedging any foreign currency exposure, given the expansion of its

export business and its international production and distribution interests, it may not be able to hedge its

exposure on suitable terms or adequately predict the necessary level of hedging. Depreciation of the Indian

rupee against the US dollar may increase the Indian rupee cost to the Company of servicing and repaying its

foreign currency borrowings and other financing arrangements.

Risks Related to the Company's Manufacturing Facilities

The Company's business is dependent on its manufacturing facilities. The loss or shutdown of operations

at any of the manufacturing facilities may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,

financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's principal manufacturing facilities are subject to operating risks, such as the

breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output or

efficiency, obsolescence, labour disputes, strikes, lock-outs, the continued availability of the services of its

external contractors, earthquakes and other natural disasters, industrial accidents and the need to comply with

the directives of relevant government authorities. The occurrence of any of these risks could significantly

affect the Company's operating results. The Company carries out planned shutdowns of its plants for

maintenance. Although it takes precautions to minimise the risk of any significant operational problems at its

facilities, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by any disruption

of operations at its facilities, including due to any of the factors mentioned above.

The Company maintains a grain-based distillery, which has only recently become fully operational.

The Company maintains a grain facility which was completed in January 2006 but did not become

fully operational until April 2006. Although the facility is currently fully operational, there can be no

guarantee that it will not suffer occasional disruptions. In addition, the Company anticipates that the facility

will enable it to increase its presence in the market for grain-based spirits, and there can be no assurance that

there will be sustainable demand to offset the investment in the facility. This could have an adverse effect on

the business and the results of operations of the Company.

Most of the Company's manufacturing facilities are located in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh.

The majority of the Company's existing manufacturing facilities are located in Rampur, Uttar

Pradesh. Many companies have set up their manufacturing facilities in Uttar Pradesh and many more

companies are in the process of doing the same. Over time this could create pressure on infrastructural

facilities and the business logistics in Uttar Pradesh. While the Company does not believe that such industrial

growth will create pressure on power and labour availability, there can be no guarantee that such shortages will

not occur. These factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

17


Changes in technology may impact the Company's business by making its plants less competitive.

Advancements in technology may require the Company to make additional capital expenditure for

upgrading its manufacturing facilities or may make its competitor's plants more competitive. If the Company

is not able to adequately respond to such technological advancement in time, its competitiveness may be

adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Company's Trading Activities

The Company relies on third-party suppliers of raw materials and is sensitive to fluctuations in price and

availability of such raw materials.

In order to manufacture its products the Company requires raw materials, including, grain, malt,

molasses and water. The Company purchases such materials on a purchase order basis and, where possible,

relies on a wide range of suppliers to mitigate its reliance on any one supplier. However, there can be no

guarantee that the Company will be able to maintain its diversity of suppliers. Additionally, the prices of the

Company's primary raw materials are volatile and fluctuate based on a number of factors outside the

Company's influence, including the vagaries of nature, overall demand, manufacturing capacity, cultivation

area and the price of key feedstocks for raw materials. The Company estimates that raw materials comprise

approximately 44% of its production costs. The Company does not have any long-term price guarantees with

its raw materials suppliers although it seeks to negotiate prices in advance for fixed periods. There can be no

assurance that the price of the Company's raw materials will not increase in the future or that the Company

will be able to pass on such increases to its customers. The Company's failure to achieve corresponding sales

price increases in a timely manner, sales price erosion without a corresponding reduction in raw materials

costs, a significant shortage of supply of these goods, delays in availability or any failure to renegotiate

favourable raw materials supply contracts are all factors that could have a material adverse effect on the

Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The cost of molasses could fluctuate and alternative uses of molasses could increase costs.

The cost of molasses has been subject to fluctuations in the past and there is no guarantee that it will

not continue to see fluctuations in the future. These fluctuations are related, at least in part, to the supply of

and demand for sugar cane. Sugar cane production varies greatly from state to state, and thus the availability

and costs varies on a per-state basis. In addition, the import levies imposed when sugar cane is transported into

a different state, combined with the volume limits on total export from the state of origination, contribute

further to the price of molasses. The Company is fortunate to have operations in the sugar-producing belt of

Uttar Pradesh; however, like other members of the liquor industry, the high level of regulation and taxation

related to the transport of materials between states increases costs. There is no guarantee that such regulation

and taxation will not increase, and any such increase could have an adverse effect on the Company's business.

In addition, the Indian Government recently permitted the use of 5% ethanol in petrol, and molasses can be

used to produce ethanol. Since there are tax benefits to producing molasses-derived ethanol over using

molasses for IMFL, there could be an increase in the cost of molasses for the production of liquor. The

Company, like its competitors in the liquor industry, will suffer an adverse impact on its costs of operations if

molasses costs increase.

The Company relies on third parties to bottle its products.

As at 31 March 2006, a significant proportion of the sales of the Company's IMFL own-branded

products were bottled and distributed through Contracted Bottling Units. The Company relies on its

arrangements with these third parties, particularly in locations where it does not maintain its own facilities, to

reach wholesalers and retailers. The Company's contracts with its third-party bottlers are for an average term

of three years and bottlers are required to keep the Company's proprietary information confidential. However,

if the bottling companies were to terminate or significantly alter their arrangements with the Company, it

could have an adverse impact on the results of operations.

18


The Company relies on third-party providers of its packaging, and such costs are considerable and could

increase.

The Company relies on third-party vendors to supply packaging and is currently seeking to lower its

costs for such packaging. Additional costs related to packaging include expenditures related to labelling,

bottling and boxing the Company's products.

The Company uses tamper-resistant ""guala'' caps on its bottles to help protect against counterfeiting.

There is only one company in India, Guala Closures India Private Limited, which manufacturers these caps. If

this company ceased or significantly altered their trading arrangements with the Company, the Company's

costs of operations could increase. Any such increase would have an adverse affect on the financial condition

of the Company's business.

The Company is dependent upon consumer preferences and spending habits with regards to liquor

products.

The levels and patterns of consumer preferences and spending habits in relation to liquor products in

India are subject to change due to a number of factors, including the general state of the economy and

consumer income levels as well as the social perception of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related health

issues. A significant change in such preferences and spending patterns could have an adverse impact on the

Company's results of operations.

The seasonality of the liquor industry requires the Company to predict demand and build up inventory

accordingly.

The liquor industry is characterised by seasonal demands for its products. Demand is highest during

the months of November through January. Accordingly, the Company must plan its annual production levels

based on its predictions of demand, including a build-up of inventory prior to peak sales periods. The Company

makes these predictions from its own market assessments as well as sales targets provided by its customers.

However, if the Company were to make an inaccurate prediction of such demands, it could have an adverse

effect on the business.

Key Persons, Significant Shareholders, Related Party Transactions and Restricted Covenants

The success of the Company's business is substantially dependent upon the services of a few management

personnel, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect the Company's business.

The Company has built a team of experienced senior professionals to oversee the operations and

growth of its business, including its Chairman, a Managing Director, a President of Finance, a President of

Sales and Marketing and certain other members of senior management. The Company's success is

substantially dependent upon the expertise and services of these members of the management team. The loss

of the services of such persons could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations

and financial condition.

Significant shareholders of and lenders to the Company will continue to have considerable influence over

the Company's business.

The promoters, through various investment companies, currently have an equity holding of 57.54%.

The Company's promoters have, and will continue to have, considerable influence over the Company's

business and may take actions that do not reflect the will or best interests of the other shareholders, or the best

interests of the Company.

The Company has entered into various financing arrangements that grant the lenders certain rights to

determine how the Company is operated. Most of these financings are secured by substantially all of the

movable and immovable assets of the Company. Pursuant to certain of these agreements, the Company

requires the consent of the lenders to undertake significant actions, including, among other things, to assume

19


additional debt, alter of the capital structure, change the beneficial ownership of or control of the Company,

enter into any merger/amalgamation, invest in new projects, transfer or change the key managerial personnel,

change the constitutional documents, declare or pay dividends, etc. There can be no assurance that lenders will

grant the Company any required consents on time or at all. Failure to obtain such consents may lead to the

termination of credit facilities and the acceleration of all amounts due under the relevant facilities.

The Company may face conflicts of interest in transactions with related parties.

Certain decisions concerning the Company's operations or financial structure may present conflicts of

interest among its controlling shareholder(s), other shareholders, directors, executive officers and the holders

of the Bonds and the Shares. Commercial transactions in the future between the Company and related parties

could result in conflicting interests. The Company's shareholders, directors and executive officers may have an

interest in pursuing transactions which, in their judgment, enhance the value of their equity investment, even

though such transactions may involve risks to the holders of the Bonds and the Shares. There can be no

assurance that the Company's directors and executive officers will be able to address these conflicts of

interests or others in an impartial manner.

The Company's Involvement in Disputes and Other Litigation

There are various legal proceedings and disputes against the Company.

The Company is party to various legal proceedings before judicial and quasi-judicial authorities.

Some of these proceedings involve potential substantial liability for the Company and could materially and

adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and ability to meet its obligations under the Bonds.

Further details concerning the legal proceedings against the Company are set out in the chapter on Legal

Proceedings. See ""Business Ì Legal Proceedings''.

Certain key personnel of the Company may be subject to criminal proceedings on behalf of the Company

under Indian law, and any subsequent incarceration could have an effect on the Company's business.

Under Indian law a company cannot be charged with offences that could result in incarceration.

Should any criminal charge be made against the Company, it is those responsible for the day-to-day

operations of the Company, and usually the Managing Director, who shall be deemed to be responsible and be

prosecuted on behalf of the Company.

In addition, under Indian law, the Company must have at least one designated statutory ""Occupier''

who accepts being the person who is charged on behalf of the company for any violations by the Company of

their obligations under the Factories Act 1948 (the ""Factories Act''). The Company currently has one

Occupier, K. P. Singh, who is the wholetime director of the Company. Should any prosecution be made

against the Company under the Factories Act result in a term of incarceration for its Occupier, the Company's

ability to meet its business and other financial obligations could be hindered through the loss of its Occupier or

any other representative the Company decides to appoint to that position. The Company's reputation could

also suffer as a result. Additionally, there can be no assurance that an Occupier will avoid incarceration if

found guilty of any other charge which could have a potential material adverse effect upon the Company and

the success of its business.

20


Risks Associated with the Expansion of the Company's Business

The Company faces risks and uncertainties associated with the implementation of its expansion projects.

The Company plans to continue to expand its brand and product portfolios and its production and

distribution networks in India and abroad in the near future. In taking these and any other such expansion

initiatives, the Company faces risks and uncertainties, including that:

‚ funding anticipated to be deployed towards the cost of the project will not become available in a

timely manner or at all;

‚ cost overruns could adversely affect the Company's operating results;

‚ the Company may not be able to obtain or install production equipment on time or to its satisfaction

due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances;

‚ the Company may not be able to source a constant supply of quality inputs for its products or

maintain its reputation for producing consistently high-quality products;

‚ the Company may face difficulties in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled technical,

marketing and management personnel;

‚ the Company may be unable to manage client and customer expectations in India and internationally;

and

‚ the Company may be unable to develop adequate internal administrative functions and systems and

controls, particularly the financial, operational, communications and other internal systems.

While the Company has successfully implemented expansion projects in the past, there can be no

assurance that the Company will be able to execute any current or future expansion strategies on time or

within budget or that the Company will achieve its objectives. Any failure to do so could materially adversely

affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company has capital requirements and may require additional financing in the form of debt or

equity to meet its requirements to pursue its expansion plans.

Sources of the Company's additional financing requirements may include commercial banks or the

sale of equity or debt securities in private or public offerings. If the Company decides to incur more debt, its

interest payment obligations will increase, and the Company may be subject to additional conditions from

lenders, who could place restrictions on how it operates its business and result in reduced cash flows. If the

Company decides to issue equity, the ownership interest of the Company's existing shareholders will be

diluted.

The Company cannot give any assurance that it will be able to raise adequate financing on acceptable

terms, in time or at all. The Company's failure to obtain sufficient financing could result in a lack of cash flow

to meeting its operating requirements and, therefore, have an adverse effect on the Company's business,

results of operations and financial condition.

The Company may not be able to integrate expanded operations into its existing business operations.

The integration of expanded operations, particularly outside India, into the Company's existing

operations may consume a considerable amount of management and financial resources. There may be

unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The expansion may also require significant management

attention that would otherwise be available for the on-going development of the Company's existing business.

The Company's inability to manage and finance such undertakings while managing its existing operations may

have a material adverse impact on its overall operations and its financial condition. Any failure to integrate the

expanded operations into the Company's existing business operations or any failure to manage these

successfully could materially and adversely affect its financial performance.

21


The Company's Competition

The Company faces growing competition from Indian and non-Indian producers.

The Indian Government has been reducing the import duties on liquor products, in compliance with

India's commitments to the World Trade Organisation (""WTO''). As a result, the Company may become

subject to increased competition from foreign liquor companies. The Company has sought to curtail the

impact of this competition through its avoidance of the super premium liquor sector, which it sees as the most

vulnerable to foreign competition. The Company has also sought strategic alliance with foreign companies

such as Highland Distillers Limited and Ernest & Julio Gallo in order to profit from the influx of non-Indian

brands. However, there is no guarantee that these measures will be sufficient to protect the Company from

foreign competition, which could have a negative impact on its business.

The Company's principal domestic competitor is the UB Group of Companies, which is substantially

larger, more diversified and has greater financial, personnel and marketing resources than the Company and

therefore may have certain competitive advantages. Although the Company has broad product lines and is

continually developing its products, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete

effectively in the markets in which it operates currently or in which it proposes to operate in the future.

The Company is Subject to Regulatory Risks and Government Regulation

An unfavourable determination of investigations by the Indian tax authorities could have an adverse effect

on the financial condition of the business.

The Company is currently being investigated by the Indian income tax authorities in connection with

its income tax payments in prior years. From February 2006 to April 2006, these authorities carried out a

series of searches, seizures and investigations at the Company's corporate offices, certain of the Company's

distilling and bottling facilities, and the residences of key officials and promoters for records and other

information relating to the Company's assets and prior tax payments. The income tax authorities also

conducted similar searches at the premises of several other liquor companies and the residences of their

respective promoters, in the states of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and at the offices of the Uttar Pradesh

Distillers' Association, an industry and trade body.

In addition to the materials collected during their search, the income tax authorities subsequently

asked the Company for additional financial records, which was promptly provided to them. These materials

and additional records are currently being reviewed by the income tax authorities and, in due course, upon

completion of the tax assessment procedures, the Company may receive from them a demand for payment of

additional taxes and accrued interest thereon. The Company and its key officials and promoters have not yet

received any show-cause notices from the Income Tax Department in this regard; however, proceedings may

be initiated against them in the near future. The Company is unable to quantify the amount of additional sums

it likely will be asked to pay, if any, but it has the right to appeal to the appropriate regulatory and judicial

authorities against a demand for payment of additional taxes. The Company may, however, be required to

deposit a percentage of any such additional sums prior to making an appeal and will be entitled to a full or

partial refund of the deposited sums in the event that its appeal is wholly or partially successful. The Company

continues to co-operate fully with the Indian income tax authorities in their investigations and requests for

information. If the Company were to receive a demand for payment and was unsuccessful in its appeals, the

Company's results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Taxes on liquor products could increase.

The demand for liquor products is comparatively inelastic. As a result, the liquor industry could be

the first target for increased taxation either directly or indirectly through levies on industry participants by any

Indian State. Any such increase would have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability.

22


The Company is subject to a complex and diverse tax structure.

The manufacture and distribution of liquor products is subject to a complex and diverse tax structure

by both the Indian Government and the government of each state of India (a ""State Government''). The

Company is subject to the regulatory systems of each of the states in which it operates manufacturing

facilities, and these systems may vary greatly from one state to the next. Such regulations include licensing

requirements, labelling restrictions and restrictions on advertising.

Currently, the manufacture, sale and consumption of liquor products is regulated and permitted (with

the exception of four states) by each Indian state. In general, each Indian state earns a substantial amount of

revenue from the sale of liquor products. Although it is the Company's belief that prohibition is unlikely,

prohibition in any state in which it operates could happen, and any such prohibition would have a material

adverse effect on the Company's business and financial prospects.

The Company does not have all regulatory approvals for carrying on its manufacturing facilities.

The consents under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention

and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 for one of the Company's manufacturing units at Rampur, Uttar Pradesh,

have expired. In addition, the Company's excise licence under the United Provinces Excise Act, 1910, for the

grain-based distillery in Rampur has been applied for but not yet received. The Company has applied for

renewals of these consents but has not received the renewed consents to date. Even though renewals are

generally obtained after the expiry of the relevant licence period, there is no assurance that such renewals will

be granted.

There is an advertising ban on liquor products in India.

In India, there is a ban on advertising of liquor products in the media. The liquor industry has become

the focus of increased social and political attention in India as a result of public concern over problems relating

to alcohol abuse, including health consequences, drinking by persons under the legal age and driving while

under the influence of alcohol. As a result the Company is unable to advertise its products by traditional

means but must rely on word-of-mouth, surrogate advertising and high-profile product launches, which is less

effective than more orthodox forms of advertising. The inability to launch national advertising campaigns are

detrimental to the development of any business in the liquor industry, including the Company's.

There are strict labelling requirements for liquor products in India.

There are strict requirements of the labelling of liquor products in India. Each Indian state has its

own requirements as to the information that must appear on the label of any liquor product manufactured and

sold in that state. As a result, the Company must produce labels on a state-by-state basis, preventing it from

fully maximising the economies of scale that would be created if labels could be uniformly produced.

Many of the distributors, wholesalers and retailers of the liquor industry are state-operated, affecting the

Company's trade and pricing practices.

The distribution network for liquor products is controlled by the relevant State Government in all of

the states in which the Company operates. The State Governments set the prices and determine with which

manufacturers they will trade. The pricing and purchasing policies of the State Governments are subject to

change and may differ from past policies. In order to mitigate the Company's dependence on any one state, it

has established operations in every state in which it is legal to sell and manufacture liquor products. As a

result, the Company cannot fully maximise the economies of scale that would be created with a centralised

production facility. In addition, if any state-owned wholesaler ceases or reduces their trade activity with the

Company, there could be an adverse effect on its financial condition.

23


Increased environmental regulation and changing consumer environmental awareness could affect the

Company's operations.

Actions by federal, state or local governments in India and abroad concerning environmental matters

could result in laws or regulations that could increase the cost of producing the products manufactured by the

Company or otherwise adversely affect demand for its products. The operations of the Company are subject to

significant environmental regulations in every state in which it operates. The Indian Government maintains a

""zero tolerance'' policy regarding effluent, a by-product of the molasses distillation process when creating

extra neutral alcohol (""ENA''). Accordingly, the Company must undertake certain capital expenditures in

order to properly treat effluent at its molasses distilleries. The Company also must comply with environmental

regulations relevant to its operations such as, among others, waste disposal, soil groundwater contamination

and air emissions. In addition, certain governmental authorities may adopt ordinances prohibiting or restricting

the use or disposal of certain products that are among the types of products produced by the Company. If such

prohibitions or restrictions were to be widely adopted, such regulatory and environmental measures could

adversely affect demand for the Company's products and thereby have a material adverse effect upon the

Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its environmental

licences and permits in order to be able to continue its operations. Additionally, a decline in consumer

preference for the Company's products due to environmental considerations could have a material adverse

effect upon the Company's business. Currently unknown environmental problems or conditions may be

discovered. If any of the Company's facilities are shut down, the Company will continue to incur costs

complying with regulations, appealing decisions affecting those facilities, maintaining production if possible

and continuing to pay labour and other costs. The Company could, therefore, be materially and adversely

affected by existing environmental requirements.

The Company's Intellectual Property

The Company may not be able to adequately protect its intellectual property.

The Company relies on trademarks such as 8PM, Whytehall and Contessa to protect its intellectual

property, which is critical to its business. The Company has approximately 77 registered trademarks in India,

of which approximately 10 are in the process of being renewed. Applications for registration have been made

in respect of approximately 108 other trademarks. Of these trademarks, approximately 12 unregistered

marks/brands were assigned by Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate Limited to the Company, which has

applied to register these marks/brands in its own name. The Company also relies on unpatented proprietary

know-how, continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to develop and maintain its competitive

position. The Company constantly seeks to protect its trademarks against unauthorised use or infringement,

but any such precautions may not provide meaningful protection against competitors or protect the value of

the Company's trademarks.

The Company may not be able to prevent the counterfeiting of its products.

The Company, like its competitors in the liquor industry, is at risk of being counterfeited by third

parties re-using the Company's packaging to sell their products. These products are formulated differently and

are of inferior quality. The Company has implemented certain safeguards against these actions through special

tamper-resistant packaging; however, if the Company's reputation were to suffer as a result of such

counterfeiting, its results of operations could be adversely affected.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is based on and should be read in conjunction with, theCompany's audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended 31 March 2004, 31 March 2005 and31 March 2006 and notes thereto in accordance with Indian GAAP appearing elsewhere in this OfferingCircular.

Background

Radico Khaitan Limited is the second largest producer and distributor of branded liquor in India,

including whisky, rum, brandy, gin and vodka. The Company manufacturing facilities are located in Rampur,

Uttar Pradesh and include a molasses-based distillery with a capacity of 60 million litres per annum, a grain-

based distillery with a capacity of 27 million litres per annum, and a malt-based distillery with a capacity of

0.46 million litres per annum. The Company also maintains five bottling units and has contracts with an

additional 32 Contracted Bottling Units.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2006 (""FY2006'') compared to Fiscal 2005 (""FY2005'') (year-end 31 March)

Income

Sales (net of excise duty)

The Company generated sales of Rs.4,945.11 million in FY2006, an increase of 14.22% from the sales

of Rs.4,329.24 million generated in FY2005. The increase in total income is due to the growth in the IMFL

industry and the continued success of Radico's IMFL brands, both in domestic and international markets.

Other Income

The Company generated other income of Rs.51.51 million in FY2006, a decrease of 23.91% from

other income of Rs.67.70 million generated in FY2005. This decrease is due to a reduction in miscellaneous

income and a decrease in insurance claims.

Increase/Decrease of stocks

The Company realised a decretion of stocks of Rs.7.33 million in FY2006, a decrease of 88.39%

compared to Rs.63.11 million during FY2005. This is because the Company maintained a higher quantity of

finished goods in FY2005.

Expenditure

Purchases and raw material expenses

Purchases and material consumed during FY2006 cost Rs.2,422.51 million, an increase of 5.66% from

Rs.2,292.81 million in FY2005. This is because, despite the fall in price of molasses (the principal raw

material for the Company's manufacturing process), the Company spent more money on purchases and raw

materials due to the increase in sales.

Salaries, Allowances and Benefits

Salaries, allowances and benefits cost Rs.285.94 million during FY2006, a 19.01% increase from

Rs.240.26 million during FY2005. The increase is mainly due to the recruitment of additional employees,

principally in the middle and lower management levels. Employee salaries were also increased in line with

industry and economic trends.

33


Other expenses

Other expenses were Rs.1,422.15 million during FY2006, an increase of 10.07% compared to

Rs.1,292.07 million during FY2005. This is due to provisions made by the Company for bad debts in their

accounts.

Financial Expenses

Financial expenses were Rs.237.48 million during FY2006, a 44.03% increase from financial expenses

of Rs.164.88 million during fiscal 2005. The increase was due to the higher borrowings of the Company during

FY2006, which increased to Rs.3,419.83 million in FY2006 from Rs.2,147.08 million in FY2005. In addition,

there was a hardening of interest rates in both domestic and international markets increased.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense was Rs.112.63 million during FY2006, a 32.54% increase from depreciation

expenses of Rs.84.98 million during FY2005. The increase was primarily due to capital expenditure of

Rs.1,185 million during FY2006 related to the brand acquisitions from Brihans Maharastra Sugar Syndicate

and installing a new greenfield grain-based distillery in Rampur Uttar Pradesh.

Total expenditure

Total expenditure was Rs.4,480.70 million during FY2006, an increase of 9.96% compared to

Rs.4,074.99 million during FY2005. This is due to an increase in the Company's operations.

Profit Before Taxation

Profit before taxation was Rs.523.26 million during FY2006, an increase of 35.89% compared to

Rs.385.06 million during FY2005. The increase is due to the sales having increased more than expenses.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense (net of deferred tax provisions) was Rs.57.60 million during FY2006, an increase

of 125.88% compared to Rs.25.50 million during FY2005. This was due to the Company's acquisition of the

Whytehall India operation in FY2005, which, due to it having previously accumulated losses, was tax

beneficial to the Company, and provided relief, thereby reducing the Company's tax payments in FY2005.

Net Profit after Tax

Profit after tax was Rs.451.66 million during FY2006, an increase of 25.96% compared to

Rs.358.56 million during FY2005. The increase is due to the Company's improvement in operational

efficiency, reduction in raw material prices and increase in sale prices in certain markets.

Fiscal 2005 (""FY2005'') compared to Fiscal 2004 (""FY2004'') (year-end 31 March)

Income

Sales (net of excise duty)

The Company generated net sales of Rs.4,329.24 million in FY2005, an increase of 48.70% from

Rs.2,911.48 million in FY2004. The increase in total income was due to the growth in the IMFL industry and

the continued success of Radico's IMFL brands, both in domestic and international markets.

Other Income

The Company generated other income of Rs.67.70 million in FY2005, an increase of 100.24%

compared to Rs.33.81 million generated in FY2004. The increase was mainly due to a loan waiver by

34


American Beverages Mauritius Limited, pursuant to the company's acquisition of the Whytehall India

operation.

Increase/Decrease of stocks

The Company realised a decretion of stocks in FY2005 of Rs.63.11 million, a decrease of 16.71%

compared to Rs.75.77 million during FY2004. The decrease was due a reduction in the percentage increase in

finished stock.

Expenditure

Purchases and raw material expenses

Purchases and raw material expenses during FY2005 were Rs.2,292.81 million, an increase of 88.00%

from Rs.1,219.59 million in FY2004. This was due to the sharp rise in the cost of molasses (the principal raw

material for the Company's manufacturing process) during the fiscal year because of low sugar cane

production. The increase was also due to an increase in operations of the company.

Salaries, Allowances and Benefits

Salaries, allowances and benefits costs were Rs.240.26 million during FY2005, a 22.57% increase

from Rs.196.02 million during FY2004. The increase was mainly due to the recruitment of additional

employees, principally in the middle and lower management levels. Employee salaries were also increased in

line with industry and economic trends.

Other expenses

Other expenses were Rs.1,292.07 million during FY2005, an increase of 8.58% compared to

Rs.1,189.94 million during FY2004. This was due to increased costs of repair and maintenance of the

Company's facilities, increased insurance costs and increased travelling expenses.

Financial Expenses

Financial expenses were Rs.164.88 million during FY2005, a 264.38% increase from financial

expenses of Rs.45.25 million during FY2004. This increase was due to an increase in the borrowings of the

Company from Rs.1,356.137 million in FY2004 to Rs.2,147.081 million in FY2005. Additionally both

domestic and international markets saw an increase of interest rates during FY2005, resulting in an increase in

financial expenses increasing. Also, during FY2004, the Company entered into foreign exchange derivative

swaps, thereby reducing financials expenses in FY2004.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense was Rs.84.98 million during FY2005, a 66.86% increase from depreciation

expenses of Rs.50.93 million during FY2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in gross fixed

assets of the Company.

Total expenditure

Total expenditure was Rs.4,074.99 million during FY2005, compared to Rs.2,701.72 million during

FY2004, an increase of 50.83%. This was due to an increase in the Company's operations.

Profit Before Tax

Profit before tax was Rs.385.06 million during FY2005, an increase of 20.58% from Rs.319.34 million

during FY2004. The increase was due to the sales having increased more than expenses.

35


Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was Rs.25.50 million in FY2005, a decrease of 59.20% from Rs.62.50 million in

FY2004. This was due to the Company's acquisition of the Whytehall India operation in FY2005, which, due

to it having previously accumulated losses, was tax beneficial to the Company, and provided relief, thereby

reducing the Company's tax payments in FY2005 .

Profit after Taxation

Profit after tax was Rs.358.56 million in FY2005, an increase of 39.60% from Rs.256.84 in FY2004.

The increase was due to the improvement in the Company's operational efficiency, a reduction in raw material

prices and an increase in sale prices in certain markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

The following table summarises the Company's cash flows for FY2006 AND FY2005:

Year Ended 31 March

2005 2006

(RS.million)

Net cash flow from financing activitiesÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 570.10 985.27

Operating activities

Net cash generated from operating activities was Rs.99.83 million during FY2006 compared to

Rs.133.09 million during FY2005. The decrease in cash from operating activities is due to an increase in

receivables, inventories, loans and advances, including advances to Contracted Bottling Units.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was Rs.1,110.2 million during FY2006, compared to

Rs.659.3 million in FY2005. The Company's use of cash in investing activities in FY2006 primarily relates to

investment in a grain-based distillery and acquired brands from Brihans Maharashta Sugar Syndicate, in

addition to normal capital expenditures of the Company. The Company's use of cash in investing activities in

FY2005 was related primarily to the merger of Anab-e-Shahi and Whytehall India Ltd as well as capital

expenditures in the normal course of business.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was Rs.985.27 million during FY2006, primarily to fund

operating and investing activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was Rs.570.10 million during FY2005, primarily also to

fund operating and investing activities.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily

with respect to the US dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions and recognised

assets and liabilities. To manage its foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and

recognised assets and liabilities, the Company uses forward contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when

future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the

entity's functional currency. The finance department is responsible for managing the net position in each

foreign currency by using external forward currency contracts. The Company also strives to maintain

minimum credit period for foreign exchange denominated recognised assets.

36


The Company's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable

rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company

to fair value interest rate risk. The Company also negotiates the terms of the borrowings with financial

institutions to convert its high interest bearing borrowings with lower interest bearing borrowings.

Code 0199-0801. The Company and the Manager make norepresentation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by these sources. Thisinformation has not been independently verified.

India's spirits industry is growing on favourable age demographics, rising disposable incomes and

greater social acceptability of alcohol consumption within domestic India.

The Indian economy is likely to maintain a robust economic growth rate of greater than 7% per

annum in the next few years. A higher GDP and rapid export growth have led to a considerable increase in per

capita income, while falling prices of certain essentials have provided many Indian consumers with higher

disposable incomes.

Indian GDP Growth (%)

The Indian liquor market is progressing rapidly owing to favorable demographics, rapid economic

growth and lightening Government regulation surrounding alcohol distribution within Indian states. The liquor

segment is also highly concentrated, with the top three participants accounting for 64% of the industry

volumes. These factors are contributing to the industry's pro forma CAGR of 12% for fiscal year 2005, which

is expected to continue through fiscal year 2008.

India has traditionally been among the world's lowest per capita consumers of ""foreign'' liquors such

as whisky, rum, brandy, vodka and gin. Per capita consumption of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (""IMFL''), or

""foreign'' liquor produced in India, stands at 0.82 litres per annum as compared to the global average of

4.63 litres per annum. Indian alcohol consumption tends to begin at age 16-18 and peak at age 30-35. The

18-35 year age group, currently estimated to comprise 247 million people, is growing at a rate of 3.4% per

annum. Alcohol demand from this age group is expected to aggregate 40 million cases of liquor for the five

fiscal years through 2010, of which IMFL is expected to account for about 45-50%, owing to anticipated

higher consumption by younger consumers. With more than 50% of India's population below the age of 25,

expectations are for the Indian IMFL industry to sustain a growth rate of 9.7% over the medium term.

40


Litres Per Capita Consumed Per Annum

The proportion of youth and the middle aged Ì the largest customer base for liquor companies Ì is

expected to grow from 45% in 2001 to 47% by 2006 and to 51% by 2013. In absolute terms this suggests a 27%

rise in the target population base from 2001 to 2010 and a 35% rise in target population by 2013. Rising

income levels and a changing social environment have lead to an increase in the liquor drinking population in

the country. The emergence of bars, nightclubs and entertainment centres and the entry of international

brands in the country have been among the factors driving the rising consumption of alcohol or alcohol based

products. Economic growth in recent years has created a large base of youth with high income levels and

changing lifestyles in most cities and towns. The number of Indians who drink alcohol has risen from 1 in 300

to 1 in 20 in the last two decades. The shift in higher consumption is expected to continue to rise with

increased alcohol affordability, availability and popularity. The upper-class social groupings of Indian alcohol

consumers continues to grow alongside the economy and income per household is expected to increase with

58% of the population set to be included in the ""Consuming'' or ""Very Rich'' class by 2012, those classes

having an income range per household of US$975-US$4,675 and over $4,675 respectively.

The domestic organized Indian liquor market stands at Rs.180bn, consisting of 25 IMFL manufactur-

ers and 41 distilleries. The low cost IMFL and country liquor segment account for approximately Rs.120bn

and the balance Rs.60bn is distinguished as the regular and premium product segment. The country liquor

market is distinguished as a regional market with a large number of small manufacturers spread across the

country. The total IMFL market stands at 100MM cases, which has grown at 9% over the past 10 years. This

market consists of whisky, rum, brandy, gin and vodka.

IMFL is manufactured from molasses, as well as from grains such as barley, rye, wheat, corn and oat.

Raw material for fermentation usually differs from liquor to liquor. Corn malt is used in whisky, molasses in

the case of rum and country liquor, grapes in brandies and wine, any starch for gin and vodka and barley for

beer. Production of alcohol drinks from non-molasses sources is very small in India. Molasses accounts for

4-5% of total cane crushed by sugar mills within the country. Raw material availability is a key concern

depending on cane crop as well as sugar production, which is also highly regulated by the Government.

41


Molasses is the key raw material for alcohol and accounts for 40% of raw material costs. Forecasts are

predicting a 55% jump in average molasses prices in fiscal year 2005 and a further 2% hike in prices in fiscal

year 2006. There is also a 20-25% increase in sugar production expected in fiscal year 2006. The alternative

uses of molasses, specifically in the production of ethanol (a crude oil substitute) could lead to an upsurge of

prices in the near term. The Indian Government has recently permitted use of 5% ethanol blended petrol. A

number of sugar mills have already set up ethanol plants as have some refineries. There is also a mid-season

price fluctuation of molasses as the sugar crushing season progresses. Sugar mills have limited storage

capacities and as the sugar crushing season progresses, the lack of storage capacity forces many sugar mills to

go in for distress sales. Competing uses of molasses could push up raw material prices and adversely impact

the IMFL industry.

Whisky: Whisky is the preferred drink for Indian consumers and consumption patterns match those

seen in many western countries. The main difference between domestically produced Indian whisky and

foreign whisky is that the alcohol is made from molasses instead of grain. Whisky is the second-largest liquor

segment in India and by far the most popular in the IMFL category. Whisky comprises 18.4% of the aggregate

liquor market and 59.7% of the IMFL market with a CAGR of 8.5%.

Rum: Rum is the second fastest growing segment among IMFL offerings, which is a result of the

shift in consumer preference. 17.6% of the IMFL market comprises of rum sales, as rum is considered very

popular among the younger population in India with a three year forward estimated CAGR of 15.7%.

Brandy: Brandy comprises 18.2% of the IMFL market. The brandy segment is one of the slower

growing products among IMFL, which is due to changing perceptions and domestic demographics. Brandy's

main age segment has not grown at the same pace as other IMFL markets and as a result has affected the

product's popularity. Brandy's three year forward estimated CAGR is projected at 7%.

Vodka: Vodka comprises 1.0% of the IMFL market and there has been substantial growth in this

segment of the IMFL due to the large consumption increase by young wealthy men and women in urban

areas. With population growth and more widely distributed wealth across a younger demographic of

professionals, the growth of this segment is expected to continue to intensify. The vodka market is projected to

have a forward three year CAGR of 40.0%.

Gin: Gin comprises 3.5% of the IMFL market and per capita consumption of gin and aggregate

growth has been declining in the past few years as gin is regarded as a drink for older consumers. With this

perception becoming increasingly settled amongst younger consumers there appear to be no changes in this

trend moving forward. The forecasts for this product segment remain at a three year forward CAGR of 0.5%.

Beer: Being the introductory alcohol of choice for most consumers, demand is expected to progress

from a very low per capita consumption rate, especially as there is serious pressure from State Governments to

lower duties on beer to dissuade people from purchasing hard liquor. With more than 50% of the Indian

population below 25 years of age forecasts place the segment's three year forward CAGR estimate at 14.3%,

with 136 million cases expected to be delivered in 2008.

Government Regulation

The Indian liquor business is built around a complex tax and licensing structure, creating very high

barriers of entry for newly burgeoning liquor companies. The Indian liquor industry is entirely controlled by

state commissioned governing bodies and as a result is the most highly taxed industry in the country. State

entities have recognized the revenue generating opportunity within the liquor industry, and being strained for

cash themselves have frequently levied new and higher taxes on manufacturing and the sale of liquor. State

Governments have levied 103 varieties of taxes on the industry and implemented an arbitrary licensing system

for manufacturing facilities. New licences have not been issued in several years, as this requires the applying

company to maintain production facilities in every state in which it sells. The Indian market is then effectively

an amalgam of 29 separate countries each establishing its own regulations and tax law.

In the case of distribution, certain states follow different dynamics for liquor sales. A few of the states

in India follow the open market system in which pricing is market determined and liquor companies can

42


appoint their distributors who in turn can appoint their respective retailers. In this process, the State

Government determines the number of wholesalers/retailers with license issuance for a pre-defined period.

The second distribution model is based on an auction process, where private distributors participate in an

auction with the reserve price set by the Government. They in turn establish their own retail distribution

network and source from liquor companies. This model can lead to problems regarding recoveries for liquor

companies since the retailers can change depending on the distributor who has won the rights. The third and

most restrictive distribution model is the one where the state agencies themselves control the wholesale

channel, decide prices to be paid and fix consumer prices. This is designed to restrict new brand entry into the

specific state.

In spite of a history of heavy taxation and limits on distribution regarding IMFL producers, State

Governments have recently become more flexible in allowing liquor companies to raise prices, especially when

molasses prices rose in 2004. Moreover, the administration has taken a less hostile view towards the liquor

industry in general and excise and sales tax rates have been relatively stable over the past few years. A few

State Governments have also moved to convert their alcohol markets from auction controlled to Government

controlled to further free markets. State Governments are recognizing the need to open up the markets for

liquor distribution. A few southern states have also levied bans on homemade country liquor, which has lead to

an increase in IMFL consumption and a change in the local distribution model. Banning country made liquor

has emerged as a significant catalyst for IMFL consumption growth in Indian states.

With the progressive reduction in import duties and liberalization of the distribution system in sight,

several foreign liquor majors have launched their international brands within India. However, establishing a

national distribution system is extremely complicated, given the current regulated structure of distribution in

the country. New participants in the industry currently have no choice but to tie up with domestic companies

for distribution within India.

A change in the regulatory environment surrounding the distribution and taxation of alcohol could

lead to further industry growth. Currently efforts are being made to introduce legislation enabling uniform

taxation among states and revenue sharing agreements for interstate sales. Liberalization of distribution and

favorable state taxation policies should provide a stimulus for continued strong industry growth rates.

BUSINESS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements andthe notes to such statements included elsewhere in this offering circular.

Business Description

Radico Khaitan is the second largest producer and distributor of branded liquor in India. The

Company produces and distributes a variety of liquors, including whisky, rum, brandy, vodka and gin. The

Company manufactures its products at its distillation facility located in Rampur, in the state of Uttar Pradesh,

and maintains five owned bottling units and 32 contract bottling units (each, a ""Contracted Bottling Unit'').

The Company owns and produces three brands with sales of over one million cases per annum (""MCA''),

referred to in the domestic market as ""millionaire brands'', namely, 8PM whisky (4.1 MCA), Contessa rum

(2.3 MCA) and Old Admiral brandy (1.3 MCA), each as at 31 March 2006. The Company also continues its

historic business of producing extra-neutral alcohol (""ENA''), the purified form of alcohol derived from the

distillation of molasses, which it sells to other companies in India and worldwide for use in the manufacture of

various alcoholic beverages. In the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006, Radico generated consolidated total net

revenues of Rs.4,945.11 million (US$111.71 million), and consolidated EBITDA of Rs.872.09 million

(US$19.54 million).

The Indian market for liquor has been growing at a compound annual growth rate (""CAGR'') of 9%

over the past decade with higher growth rates of approximately 12% in each of 2005 and 2006. The total value

of the current market has grown to an estimated US$7.5 billion from US$4.0 billion three years ago. This

growth has been driven by a number of factors, including the growing acceptance of alcohol consumption in

India, particularly among younger people, the emergence of a middle class with growing disposable incomes

and the increasing urbanisation of the country. Additional growth is being driven by gradual deregulation of

the liquor industry by various state governments. According to third-party industry reports, in addition to the

domestic liquor market in India, there exists an unregulated and unorganised sector, which does not comply

with all industry and government laws and regulations, including the payment of excise taxes. Although there

are no reliable figures on the size of the unregulated liquor producing sector, it is estimated to be at least as

large as the regulated sector. The regulated market, in which the Company operates, is comprised of

approximately 25 premium liquor manufacturers and 41 distillers. The UB Group has the largest share of the

liquor market in India at 55% and Radico, the second largest, has a 10% market share.

The Company has gradually changed its primary focus from being largely a spirits manufacturer and

bottler for other liquor companies towards being a manufacturer of its own branded liquors. The Company is

now focusing its marketing efforts on fast growing segments of the Indian liquor market Ì namely, ""foreign''

liquors such as whisky, rum, brandy and vodka, supported by a team of marketing professionals who promote

the Company's Indian-made foreign liquor (""IMFL''). IMFL is an industry term of art used to describe

""foreign'' liquors that are now made in India, which are distinguished from traditional ""country'' liquor, which

has been historically manufactured in India. Within each sector of the IMFL industry, the Company has

launched brands with price positioning aimed at the emerging middle class. The Company's brand portfolio

includes 8PM, Whytehall, Contessa and Old Admiral. In response to rapid growth in vodka consumption, the

Company also has recently launched Magic Moments vodka. In addition, the Company produces lower-end

branded ""country'' liquor, which accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's consolidated revenues

for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006. The Company does not anticipate that ""country'' liquor will be a

significant line of its business going forward.

The Company owns and operates three modern distilleries for the production of molasses-based,

grain-based and malt-based spirits, with an annual capacity of 60 million, 27 million and 0.46 million litres,

respectively. The molasses-based and malt-based distilleries operate at over 95% of capacity and the molasses-

based spirit has received recognition internationally, including accreditation by Bacardi International for

meeting its international production specifications. The plant was also the first Indian distillery to receive the

ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2001.

44


The Company's primary raw material is molasses, which it sources from local producers and then

ferments and distills into potable liquor. The Company also sources raw materials such as wheat, sorghum,

rice and barley for its grain- and malt-based spirits from neighbouring states. Finished liquor is then bottled by

either the Company's bottling facilities or Contracted Bottling Units. The Company seeks to control quality

and efficiency throughout each step of the process from the procurement of raw material through final

distribution. In addition, the Company's plants are supported by its bio-gas co-generation facility which

provides a reliable and cost-effective power supply.

The Company's shares are listed on the Indian Exchanges. In the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006,

Radico Khaitan had consolidated net revenues of Rs.4,945.11 million (US$111.71 million) compared to

Rs.4,329.24 million (US$97.01 million) in fiscal 2005, representing an increase of 14.22%. In fiscal 2006, the

Company recorded a profit after tax of Rs.451.66 million (US$10.20 million), compared to Rs.358.56 million

(US$8.04 million) in fiscal 2005, representing an increase of 25.96%.

Competitive Strengths

Radico Khaitan believes its competitive strengths are:

Strong Brands and Distribution: The Company's portfolio includes its three ""millionaire brands'':

8PM whisky, Contessa rum and Old Admiral brandy, which sold 4.1 MCA, 2.3 MCA and 1.3 MCA,

respectively, in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2006. The Company also has recently launched its MagicMoments vodka, which is targeted primarily at the younger generation, and is continuing to strengthen and

broaden the Magic Moments brand. The Company has successfully launched various liquor brands in India

over the last 10 years. The Company's brand-building activities are complemented by competitive pricing

strategies and a team of marketing and distribution professionals who reach a wide range of liquor points of

sale throughout India.

Well Established Company with National Presence: The Company is a well established participant

in the Indian liquor industry and has a presence throughout India. The Company has an extensive regulatory

compliance system, including state bottling licences and Indian Government industrial licences for the

distillation and production of alcohol, which allow it to operate on a national level. These licences are difficult

to obtain, and presently the Indian Government is not issuing any new licences. In addition to the regulatory

licences, the industry is subject to a ban on advertising liquor products. However, the Company already has

well established brands, which the Company believes have strong brand loyalty. The Company has an

extensive network of bottling facilities across India and maintains modern distillation facilities. In addition, the

Company has established an effective marketing presence, which requires significant cost and effort to

promote the brands.

Lower Cost of Production: The Company enjoys cost advantages due to the economies of scale of its

operations and the location of its manufacturing facilities, which are close to molasses-producing regions in the

state of Uttar Pradesh. Radico Khaitan is also able to derive cost savings from its co-generation plant, which

enables the Company to be self-sufficient for its power needs. Further, the Company's modern production

facilities enable it to process raw materials more efficiently.

Product Quality: The Company has won a number of awards for both the quality of its products and

the standards of its facilities. Several of the Company's brands won the Monde Selection Awards in Brussels

in 2006, including a gold medal awarded to 8PM Bermuda rum. The Company's molasses-based spirits

frequently command a premium, and are supplied to other liquor manufacturers in India as well as exported.

The Company's malt-based spirit is matured in imported sherry oak wood casks and is made to an

international standard. The Company's facilities include a recently installed grain-based distillery in Rampur

which employs modern technology and a molasses distillery that holds an ISO:2000 9001 certification.

Experienced Management Team: The Company is led by Lalit Khaitan, who has several decades of

experience in the liquor industry along with his son, Abhishek Khaitan, an industrial engineer. Together they

are supported by an experienced management team with extensive knowledge of the Indian liquor market.

45


Business Strategy

Radico Khaitan aspires to be India's largest domestic liquor and spirits provider, while at the same

time pursuing growth opportunities in both the domestic and international markets. In order to achieve these

objectives, the Company has adopted the following business strategies:

Focus on Brand Building: The Company intends to continue to build its brand and product portfolio

by launching a number of new brands and developing new products under existing brands. In addition, the

Company plans to continue to expand into sectors of the liquor industry where it does not currently have a

significant presence, such as the vodka market. Concurrently, the Company intends to pursue opportunities to

acquire brands which it believes will complement its existing product portfolio and its established production

and distribution networks. For example, in September 2005, the Company acquired several brands of Brihans

Maharastra Sugar Syndicate Ltd (""Brihans''), an established participant in the liquor industry. The

Company's products are on the approved list for the Canteen Stores Department (""CSD'') of the Indian

armed forces, a significant purchaser of liquor products in India.

Strengthen Presence in the Domestic Market: The Company plans to expand its domestic presence

by continuing to develop alliances with distributors and to focus on marketing. In recent years, the Company

has established a presence in several southern Indian states to complement what it believes to be an already

strong presence in northern India. The Company also intends to continue to move into the development of

higher-end IMFL products and away from the production of lower-end ""country'' liquor brands.

Expand into the International Markets: The Company has begun to move into the international

markets by launching its brands in foreign markets that have a demand for its products and by beginning to

produce certain of its products overseas in collaboration with joint venture parties. This is expected to enable

the Company to achieve greater visibility internationally, particularly where there is a large Indian diaspora.

The Company intends to establish a new brand segment to cater to these consumers and to take advantage of

other opportunities that may arise as global economic growth continues.

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Minority Investments: Radico Khaitan is participating in and

exploring selective strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and minority investments both in India and interna-

tionally to augment its capabilities and broaden its product offering. The Company is also pursuing the

establishment or acquisition of bottling facilities to augment its production and distribution strategies. A

portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be deployed towards the Company's continuing efforts to

participate in and explore appropriate acquisition, joint venture and investment opportunities.

In 2004, the Company acquired the Whytehall brand from Bacardi and in September 2005, the

Company acquired eight brands from Brihans Maharastra Sugar Syndicate (BMSS), including Brihans

Premium Whisky. These brands are registered with the Canteen Stores Department of armed forces.

Manufacturing Process

Molasses is the main raw material used by the Company to make whisky. Molasses is a by-product of

the sugar manufacturing process used in Indian sugar mills, which is extracted from boiled sugar cane juice

after the raw sugar has been removed.

Molasses is delivered to the Company's plants and stored in large tanks. From these tanks, it is

delivered to the fermenter house, where it is fermented and diluted in a ratio of approximately 1:3 with yeast.

After approximately 24 hours of fermentation, the fermented molasses is distilled to produce either Rectified

Spirit (""RS'') or Extra Neutral Alcohol (""ENA''). The RS and ENA are subsequently sent to storage tanks,

from which it is transferred to either bottling units or directly to buyers of the raw spirit. Rectified Spirit is

used for production of country liquor while the Extra Neutral Alcohol is used for Indian Made Foreign Liquor.

The distilled spirit (RS or ENA) is diluted to the required strength depending upon the branded

product to be manufactured and is mixed with a blend at the bottling stage. Depending upon the brand

specifications, separate blends are prepared. The main ingredients of the blend are ethyl alcohol, matured

spirits, colours, demineralised water, caramel and flavourings.

Finally, the bottled product is packaged for distribution.

During 2004-05, the Company launched 8PM Excellency brandy, which is blended with French

cognac. Because of its new blend, unique taste and flavour, this brandy is showing promising volume growth.

In addition, the Company also owns Brihans Napoleon brandy, recently acquired from the Brihans

Maharastra Sugar Syndicate.


The Company also uses RS or ENA to manufacture its brandy products, which is manufactured in a

process similar to that described above for whisky. The RS and ENA are blended at the bottling stage to

produce the brandy. Depending upon the brand specifications, separate blends are again prepared, with the

49


main ingredients being ethyl alcohol, matured spirits, colours, demineralised water, caramel and flavourings.

The Company also uses RS or ENA to manufacture its rum products, as described above for whisky.

The RS and ENA are blended at the bottling stage to produce the rum. Depending upon the brand

specifications, separate blends are again prepared, with the main ingredients being ethyl alcohol, matured

spirits, colours, demineralised water, caramel and flavour essence.

Vodka

Sales of the Company's vodka products accounted for 0.04% of the total sales volumes for the year

ended 31 March 2006. Vodka can be manufactured using molasses-based or grain-based spirit.

Brands

Magic Moments: The Company has recently launched Magic Moments vodka, which is manufac-

tured using grain-based spirits.


Vodka is generally manufactured either from molasses-based spirit or grain-based spirit. In the case

of molasses-based spirit, the process used is similar to that described above for whisky, using ENA and RS.

For grain-based spirit, the main raw materials are grains like sorghum, rice, wheat and millet. The grains are

ground to produce flour, which is mixed with hot water, creating a ""flurry''. Various enzymes are added to this

flurry, which convert the starch content into sugar. The flurry is diluted in a ratio 1:3 and the diluted flurry is

fermentated for approximately 50 hours. The resulting mixture is then distilled to create ENA, which is

subsequently stored in tanks, from which it is either sent to the bottling plant to manufacture the final product

or sold directly to buyers of ENA. In the bottling section, the spirit is diluted to the appropriate strength and

mixed with the particular blend depending on the IMFL brand.

50


Gin

Sales of the Company's gin products accounted for 0.26% of the total sales volumes for the year


Brands

The Company has three main brands of gin, Magic Moments, Contessa, and Big Hit.


The Company also uses RS or ENA to manufacture its gin products, as described above for whisky.

The RS and ENA are blended at the bottling stage to produce the gin. Depending upon the brand

specifications, separate blends are again prepared, with the main ingredients being ethyl alcohol, matured

spirits, demineralised water and flavour essence.

Owned Production Facilities

The Company owns and operates three efficient and modern distilleries for the production of

molasses-based, grain-based and malt-based spirits, with an installed capacity of 60 million, 27 million and

0.46 million litres per year, respectively. The molasses-based distillery operates at over 95% of capacity and

has received recognition from international sources, including accreditation by Bacardi as meeting its

international specifications for production. The plant was also the first Indian distillery to receive the ISO

9001:2000 certification in 2001. The grain-based distillery produces alcohol derived from grain, which is

distributed to other manufacturers throughout India and abroad, and is also used to manufacture the

Company's Magic Moments vodka. The malt-based distillery produces alcohol derived from barley, which is

distributed to other manufacturers and abroad.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Radico Global Ltd., the Company also recently has entered into

a joint venture with a UK-based distillery to market certain of its brands for sale primarily in the United

Kingdom and Eastern Europe.

Contracted Bottling Units

The Company has entered into arrangements with 32 Contracted Bottling Units in various states for

the manufacture and marketing of its own IMFL brands. Manufacturing under those arrangements is carried

out under the close supervision of the Company's staff. The Company procures orders, plans production,

arranges for material inputs, executes marketing, collects debts and is ultimately responsible for the profit or

loss resulting from the operations. The Contracted Bottling Unit provides the infrastructure for production

including labour, utility costs such as power and water and licensed production capacity. A fixed bottling fee is

paid by the Company to the Contracted Bottling Unit for these services. The difference between the sale price

and the direct costs are reflected as income in the sales schedule in the Company's balance sheet in their

accounts, which is also disclosed in the notes to those accounts.

Bottling and Packaging

The Company sources packaging material from various vendors throughout India to increase cost

efficiency. The primary packaging materials are bottles, labels, mono cartons and guala caps. The Company

primarily uses glass bottles, however, the Company also uses PET bottles in certain states. The bottle sizes

vary from 90 ml. to 1.5 litres according to the demand in various markets. The major brands of the Company

are packaged in mono cartons. About four to five brands use ""guala'' caps, which are secure caps designed to

help prevent counterfeiting of the Company's products.

Markets

The IMFL market in India is estimated to be close to 100 MCA. The major liquors are whisky, rum,

brandy and white spirits including vodka and gin. The southern part of India (including Andhra Pradesh,

51


Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala) account for more than 50% of the entire liquor consumption in India.

The Canteen Stores Department of the armed forces is a major market for IMFL, which the Company

estimates to be approximately 12 MCA.

The Country Liquor market, which is lower quality liquor, is estimated to be close to 250 MCA.

Customers

The Company's most significant customer is the CSD, which, in the fiscal year ending 31 March

2006, accounted for 21.2% of the Company's total IMFL sales. The rest of the Company's customers come

from a diverse base, no one of which comprises a significant percentage of its revenues. These customers

include Andhra Pradesh Beverages Corporation Ltd, Kerela State Beverages (Marketing and Manufacturing)

Corporation Ltd, Karnataka State Beverages Corporation Ltd, Rajasthan State Beverages Corporation Ltd (A

Government of Rajasthan Undertaking) and Ashok Wadia & Co.

Competition

The major participants in the Indian liquor industry are the UB Group, Radico Khaitan Ltd,

Seagrams India Ltd, Jagatjit Industries Ltd, Mohan Meakins Ltd and Khoday Ltd. There are a few

international participants also present in India, including Bacardi International, although their presence is

relatively small.

Competition in the Indian liquor industry is intense. The Company seeks to remain competitive by

emphasising the quality of its products and packaging and the efficiency of distribution and supply. The

Company regularly undertakes consumer research to determine trends in packaging and consumer preferences

concerning liquor.

The Company has begun to expand its presence in international markets by participating in and

exploring appropriate acquisition, joint venture and investment opportunities as well as by continuing to export

certain of its brands. The Company recently has entered into a joint venture with a UK-based distillery to

market certain of its existing brands as well as to develop new brands primarily for the UK and Eastern

European markets. The Company anticipates that these markets will be the focus of its international

expansion efforts in the near future, along with continuing exports to the Middle East and Africa. The

Company also is exploring additional joint venture possibilities with various international liquor companies as

well as opportunities to acquire brands and bottling units primarily in India but also abroad.

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Radico Global Ltd., located in the Middle East, is

expected to continue to be the holding entity for the Company's overseas operations. A portion of the proceeds

of the sale of the Bonds will be deployed towards the cost of developing the Company's international and

export operations, which are anticipated to become increasingly important components of the Company's

business and operations.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Radico has established a strong sales and distribution team throughout India. The Company sells its

products primarily through the ""wholesaler-to-retailer'' route, minimising the need to have distributors in the

supply chain. The Company currently sells to a number of wholesalers, some via sales depots, who in turn sell

to approximately 32,000 retail outlets. Apart from wholesalers, a total of about 300 employees, divided into

four zones, each headed by a general manager, ensure sales and distribution throughout India.

The Company launches brands after reviewing market research performed by A.C. Nielson.

Marketing decisions are generally taken at two levels. National campaigns are executed at Company

headquarters, while regional campaigns are effected at the relevant locations according to local markets. The

Company employs a marketing ""pull'' strategy, including both ""above the line'' and ""below the line''

methodology. Marketing investment decisions are taken to develop brand growth and brand recognition. From

time to time the performance of the brands is monitored to ensure marketing goals are being achieved.

Raw Materials and Major Suppliers

The Company maintains a diverse base of suppliers from which it sources its raw materials. The

Company obtains molasses from the sugar mills in and around Uttar Pradesh, while grain is obtained from

suppliers throughout India. The Company's main supplier of glass bottles is Hindustan National Glass &

Industries Ltd, Universal Glass, Kwality Offset Press, 21st Century Printers Ltd and ITC Ltd. The other raw

materials for the Company's packaging, for example, its labels, are obtained from a number of suppliers across

India. The Company believes its raw material purchase price is close to the industry average and works

proactively with its suppliers as part of its procurement management approach.

Properties

The Company has approximately 40 acres of freehold property primarily in Rampur and 33 acres of

leasehold property throughout India for housing its manufacturing facilities and bottling facilities as well as for

its distribution and administrative offices, including its registered office at Uttar Pradesh and its corporate

office at New Delhi.

Freehold Properties

The Company owns the operating premises in Panwaria, Ajeethpur and Shadinagar villages in

Rampur, Uttar Pradesh where the distillery is located. It also holds a number of leasehold properties in

Rampur.

The Company's owned bottling unit in Bajpur, Uttaranchal is located on a property acquired on a

30-year lease from the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. The Company recently

acquired additional property in Bajpur, Uttaranchal, for commencing its PET manufacturing business.

The Company's bottling unit in Reengus, Rajasthan is maintained on land leased from the Rajasthan

State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation Limited for a period of 99 years.

The Company sold property located in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh to Whyte and Mackay India Limited

(Whytehall India Limited) in 1997, which has reverted to the Company pursuant to the amalgamation of

Whytehall India Limited with the Company. The property owned by Anabeshahi Wines and Distilleries

Private Limited in Mahaboobanagar, Andhra Pradesh has also been acquired by the Company pursuant to the

merger of this subsidiary with the Company.

The Company also holds certain properties in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mohali and Delhi on lease.

Certain of the Company's properties in Village Panwaria, Rampur have been leased by the Company

from the State Government of Uttar Pradesh, usually for periods of 30 years, with the option of further

renewal at the expiry of the 30 years' lease. Some of the properties initially held as leasehold for several years

were purchased by the Company from the State Government between 1997 and 2005.

Leasehold Properties

As regards the properties of the Company held by way of lease, or leave and license agreements, the

Company has acquired plots in certain industrial areas from the State Governments of Uttar Pradesh and

Rajasthan for periods ranging from 30-90 years. The Company has not obtained renewal of the lease with the

State Government of Uttar Pradesh pertaining to its property at Shadinagar and Panwaria. The lease expired

on 30 April 2003. Although the Company applied for a renewal of the lease in May 2002, no reply has been

forthcoming from the State Government. The Company continues to use the land for the purposes of its

distillery.

Intellectual Property

The Company relies on trademarks such as 8PM, Whytehall and Contessa to protect its intellectual

property, which is critical to its business. The Company has approximately 77 registered trademarks in India.

Applications for registration have been made in respect of approximately 108 other trademarks. Of these

53


trademarks, approximately 12 unregistered marks/brands were assigned by Brihan Maharashtra Sugar

Syndicate Limited to the Company, which has applied to register these marks/brands in its own name. The

Company also relies on unpatented proprietary know-how, continuing technological innovation and other trade

secrets to develop and maintain its competitive position. The Company constantly seeks to protect its

trademarks against unauthorised use or infringement, but any such precautions may not provide meaningful

protection against competitors or protect the value of the Company's trademarks.

The Company also has registrations in respect of certain designs of bottles.

Trademarks

The Company's trademarks can be classified as either registered or pending registration. In addition,

the Company acquired four trademark brands pursuant to acquisition agreements. Acquisition of these

trademarks are achieved with each Company pursuant to a series of agreements, which include business

transfer, non-compete and trademark assignment provisions. Under the business transfer provisions, the

vendor agrees to transfer the business and goodwill associated with the particular brand(s). In addition, the

vendor agrees to cease carrying out specified businesses (such as using and advertising the transferred brands)

and, where applicable, to hand over all CSD brand registrations for the products to the Company and also give

a ""No Objection Certificate'' to the CSD for the transfer of the brand registrations pertaining to the specified

trademarks in favour of the Company. The Company typically assumes none of the liabilities of the particular

vendor. Under the non-compete provisions, the vendor undertakes not to compete directly or indirectly in any

business which involves, relates to, or competes with the specified businesses (including use or advertising of

the trademark). The vendor also agrees and undertakes not to register any trademark using the word or logo

similar or related to the acquired trademark(s).

Regulation and Environmental Matters

The Company's business operations, and its ownership and operation of real property, are subject to a

broad range of national, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations

pertaining to release, emission and discharge of substances, remediation of contaminated soil and ground-

water, waste handling and disposal and employee health and safety. The Company has policies in place to

address these detailed and increasingly complex requirements and regularly review practices, operations and

compliance at its manufacturing facilities. The Company also has put in place procedures to take corrective or

preventative action where necessary. The Company believes that it is currently in material compliance with all

applicable laws and regulations, and have not incurred material capital expenditures relating to environmental

matters during years ended 31 March 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

The consents under the Water Act and Air Act for one of the manufacturing units of the Company at

Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, have expired. The Company has applied for renewals of these consents but has yet to

receive the renewed consents.

The Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or competitive

position as a result of its efforts to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements. Nevertheless,

the Company's business inherently has some risk of environmental liability, and the Company could become

subject to material environmental claims in the future. Further, future actions by national, state, local and

foreign governments concerning environmental matters could result in new laws or regulations, changes to

existing laws or regulations, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, or more vigorous enforcement

that could materially increase the cost of production activities or otherwise adversely affect demand for

products. See ""Risk Factors Ì The Company faces increased environmental regulation and changing

consumer environmental awareness and changing consumer environmental awareness''.

Employees and Labour Relations

As at 31 March 2006, the Company had a total of 850 employees at its production facilities and

corporate offices. The Company believes it generally has a good relationship with its workforce and there is

54


constructive interaction between workers' representatives and the Company's management, with no working

day being lost due to any strike activity over the year.

Legal Proceedings

There are a number of consumer litigations filed against the Company in relation to its products.

However, the Company does not believe that any of these actions either individually, or in the aggregate, are

material and the compensation amounts sought from the Company in these litigations aggregate to

approximately Rs.3,480,000.

There are a number of suits and petitions filed by the employees of the Company seeking back wages

and reinstatement of service. The monetary liability of the Company in these litigations cannot be quantified,

however, the Company believes such suits and petitions to occur in the ordinary course of its business.

There are approximately 12 income tax related proceedings pending against the Company which

involve a tax liability on a sum of approximately Rs.57 million. These proceedings relate to inter alia adisallowances of expenses on foreign travel and disallowances of depreciation claimed by the Company on

certain machinery. In addition to these proceedings, the Income Tax Department has during February 2006 to

April 2006 carried out series of searches and seizures on the premises of the Company, its godowns, and

residences of key officials and promoters. The Company and its key officials and promoters have not yet

received any show cause notices from the Income Tax Department in this regard. For more information,

please refer to the Risk Factors Ì The Company is subject to Regulatory Risks and Government Regulation.

Apart from the foregoing, from time to time, the Company is a party to litigation and legal

proceedings that it considers generally to be a part of the ordinary course of business. While no assurance can

be given, the Company believes that, taking into account insurance coverage and provisions, none of the

litigation or legal proceedings which the Company is currently involved in, including those noted above, could

reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or

results of operations.

be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and, in the case of an

incomplete month, the number of days elapsed on the basis of a month of 30 days.

In these Conditions ""Business Day'' means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks

are open for general banking business in London, New York City, Delhi, Mumbai, the city in which the

first Interest Payment Date, from 26 July 2006 (the ""Issue Date''); and

(B) the due date for redemption of that Bond unless, after surrender of the Certificate, payment of

principal or premium (if any) or interest is improperly withheld or refused or default is

otherwise made in respect of such payment. In such case interest will continue to accrue both

before and after judgement until whichever is the earlier of:

(1) the date on which all amounts due in respect of such Bond have been paid; and

(2) seven Business Days after the date on which the full amount payable in respect of that

Except in the limited circumstances described in the Global Certificate(s) owners of interests in

Bonds represented by the Global Certificate(s) will not be entitled to receive definitive Certificates in respect

of their individual holdings of Bonds.

Where some but not all the Bonds in respect of which a Certificate is issued are to be transferred,

converted, purchased or redeemed, a new Certificate in respect of the Bonds not so transferred, converted,

purchased or redeemed will, within five Business Days of deposit or surrender of the original Certificate with

Holder of the Bonds not so transferred, converted or redeemed to the address of such Holder appearing in the

Register.

5.3 Formalities Free of Charge

available for inspection at the Specified Office of the Principal Agent.

6. CONVERSION

6.1 The Conversion Right

(A) Conversion Right: Each Bondholder has the right to convert any Bond as provided in these

Conditions into Shares (as defined below) (the ""Conversion Right''). The Conversion Right

attaching to any Bond may be exercised, at the option of the Bondholder, at any time (subject

to the next paragraph) during the ""Conversion Period'' which starts on 26 August 2006 (the

""Conversion Period Commencement Date'') (or such earlier date as is notified to the

Bondholders by the Company in accordance with Condition 18) and (subject to the next

sentence) will end at the close of business (at the place where the Certificate is deposited for

conversion of a Bond) on 26 June 2011 (or, if that is not a Business Day, on the immediately

preceding Business Day). If a Bond is called for redemption by the Company under

Condition 9.2 or 9.3, the Conversion Period for that Bond ends at the close of business (at the

place where the Certificate is deposited for conversion of that Bond) on the fifth Business Day

before the date fixed for redemption (unless the Company defaults in making payment on the

65


date fixed for redemption in which case the Conversion Period will continue until the earlier of

the day on which payment is made to the Bondholder or the day on which the Trustee gives

notice to the Bondholders that it or the Principal Agent has received payment of the amount

due in respect of all Bonds to be redeemed), or, if earlier, 26 June 2011.

Conversion Rights may not be exercised in relation to any Bond during the period (a ""Closed

Period'') commencing on (i) the Record Date (as defined in Condition 8.2) and ending on the

immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date (both dates inclusive), (ii) the date falling

20 days prior to the date of the Company's annual general shareholders' meeting and ending on

the date of that meeting, (iii) the date falling 30 days prior to an extraordinary shareholders'

meeting and ending on the date of that meeting, (iv) the date that the Company notifies the

National Stock Exchange of India Limited (the ""NSE'') and the Bombay Stock Exchange

Limited (the ""BSE'') of the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to

receipt of dividends, subscription of shares due to capital increase or other benefits, and ending

on the record date for the distribution or allocation of the relevant dividends, rights and benefits

or (v) on such date and for such period as determined by Indian law applicable from time to

time that the Company is required to close its stock transfer books. The Company will give

notice of the Closed Period commencing in accordance with (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this

Condition to the Trustee, the Bondholders and the Conversion Agent, simultaneously at the

time when the Company informs the stock exchanges (i.e. the NSE and the BSE) of the

happening of the events contemplated therein. The Company will give notice of the Closed

Period commencing in accordance with (i) of this Condition to the Trustee, the Bondholders

and the Conversion Agent if practical, five Business Days prior to the beginning of such period

contemplated therein.

The number of Shares to be issued upon conversion of a Bond will be determined by dividing

the principal amount of the Bond (translated into Rupees at the Fixed Exchange Rate (as

defined in Condition 6.4 below)) by the Conversion Price in effect at the Conversion Date

(both as defined below). The Shares so issued shall be delivered to or credited to the depositary

account notified by the converting Bondholder.

(B) Aggregating Bonds; Fractions of Shares: if a Holder wishes to convert more than one Bond at

any time where the Shares to be issued on such conversion are to be registered in the same

name, the number of Shares to be issued on conversion will be calculated on the basis of the

aggregate principal amount of such Bonds to be converted. Fractions of Shares will not be

issued on conversion and no cash adjustments will be made for them. However, in the event of

consolidation or re-classification of Shares by operation of law or otherwise occurring after

26 August 2006 which reduces the number of Shares outstanding, the Company will thereafter

upon conversion of the Bonds pay in cash (in US dollars) a sum equal to such portion of the

principal amount of the Bond or Bonds to be converted as corresponds to any fraction of a Share

not issued if that sum exceeds US$10.00 (which sum shall be translated into US dollars with

the Fixed Exchange Rate).

(C) Conversion Price: The price at which Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Bonds (the

""Conversion Price'') will initially be Rs.172.5. The Conversion Price will be subject to

adjustment in the manner provided in Conditions 6.3 and 6.4.

(D) Definition of Shares: As used in these Conditions, ""Shares'' means (1) shares of the class of

share capital of the Company which, at the date of the Trust Deed, are designated as equity

shares of the Company with full voting rights, together with shares of any class or classes

resulting from any sub-division, consolidation or re-classification of those shares, which as

between themselves have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the

event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or winding-up of the Company, and (2) fully-

paid and non-assessable shares of any class or classes of the share capital of the Company

authorised after the date of the Trust Deed which have no preference in respect of dividends or

66


of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or winding-up of the

Company; provided that, subject to the provisions of Condition 7.1, shares to be issued on

conversion of the Bonds means only ""Shares'' as defined in sub-clause (1) above.

(E) Revival and/or Survival after Default: Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 6.1(A), if

(a) the Company shall default in making payment in full in respect of any Bond on the date

fixed for redemption thereof, (b) any Bond has become due and payable prior to the Maturity

Date by reason of the occurrence of any of the events under Condition 11, or (c) any Bond is

not redeemed on the Maturity Date in accordance with Condition 9.1, the Conversion Right

attaching to such Bond will revive and/or will continue to be exercisable up to, and including,

the close of business (at the place where the Certificate evidencing such Bond is deposited for

conversion) on the date upon which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such

Bond has been duly received by the Principal Agent or the Trustee and notice of such receipt

has been duly given to the Bondholders. Any Bond in respect of which the Certificate and

Conversion Notice are deposited for conversion prior to such date shall be converted on the

relevant Conversion Date (as defined below) notwithstanding that the full amount of the

moneys payable in respect of such Bond shall have been received by the Principal Agent or the

Trustee before such Conversion Date or that the Conversion Period may have expired before

such Conversion Date.

(F) Mandatory Conversion at the Option of the Company: The Company shall have from 26 July

2009 until 26 July 2011 have the option (the ""Mandatory Conversion Option'') to convert part

or all of the Bonds into Shares, provided that the Volume-Weighted Average Price on each of

twenty consecutive Trading Days is higher than 130 per cent. (130%) of the Conversion Price

(translated into US dollars at the Fixed Exchange Rate (as defined in Condition 6.4)) on that

date, such that the Share Value received by the Bondholders in respect of each Bond will be not

less than 130% of the principal amount of the Bond plus the Accreted Value of the Bond. If the

Share Value, pursuant to a conversion of the Bond in accordance with Condition 6.1(C), is less

than 130% of the principal amount of the Bond plus the Accreted Value, Bondholders will

receive MC Additional Shares.

If so notified, Bondholders shall be required to deposit the Bonds in compliance with the deposit

conditions set out at Condition 6.2 (""Deposit Conditions'') (save that any expense incurred by the

Bondholder will be borne by the Company) with the Conversion Agent. If a Bondholder does not

comply with the Deposit Conditions within 60 calendar days of the date of such notice (""Cut-off

Date''), then the Conversion Agent shall convert the Bonds into Shares to be registered in the name

of a custodian selected by the Company for such purposes. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall

specify: (i) the mandatory conversion date; (ii) the Cut-off Date; and (iii) the then applicable

Conversion Price. The Company shall as soon as practicable following the expiration of such 60 day

period arrange for the sale of such Shares via the BSE or NSE and the net proceeds of sale, after

deduction of the custodian's expenses and any stamp duties or other taxes, shall be paid directly to the

relevant former Bondholder(s) and such Bondholder(s) shall be bound by such sales. Neither the

Trustee nor the Agents shall have any responsibility or liability to the Bondholders or any person

whatsoever in respect of (x) the Conversion Agent's compliance or non-compliance with any such

written instruction from the Company to convert the Bonds into Shares; or (y) any payments from

the Company to the former Bondholder in connection with the sale of such Shares. Notice of the

exercise of the Mandatory Conversion Option will be given to Singapore Exchange Securities Trading

Limited by the Company at the same time notice is given to the Bondholders.

""Volume-Weighted Average Price'' means the total value of Shares of the Company traded on the NSE

or the BSE, whichever has greater liquidity during the two months prior to the calculation (the ""Indian

Exchange'') on a single day divided by the total volume of Shares of the Company traded on the Indian

Exchange that day.

67


""Share Value'' means the lower of either of the averages of the Volume-Weighted Average Prices of the

Shares during the three and twenty consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the

exercise of the Mandatory Conversion Option by the Company translated into US dollars at a fixed

exchange rate of Rs.46.0020 • US$1.

""Accreted Value'' means an amount such that: Accreted Value • (Early Redemption

Amount/1000) Ì 1.

""Early Redemption Amount'' is defined in Condition 9.2.

""MC Additional Shares'' means zero or, if the following calculation produces a positive number:

(Number of

MC Additional • (((Accreted ° 130%) £ Principal) Ó Shares Share)) Share

Shares Value Amount upon £ Value / Value

Conversion

6.2 Exercise of Conversion Right

(A) Conversion Notices; Conditions Precedent: To exercise the Conversion Right in respect of any

Bond, the holder must complete, sign and deposit at its own expense between 9 am, and 3 p.m.

at the place of the Specified Office of any Conversion Agent on any Business Day in such place

during the Conversion Period (subject as provided in this Condition 6) a notice of conversion (a

""Conversion Notice'') in duplicate in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from the

Specified Office of any Conversion Agent, together with the Certificate in respect of the

Bond(s) to be converted, certification by the Bondholder, in the form obtainable from any

Conversion Agent, that it is not a US person or located in the United States (within the

meaning of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States) and any

certificates and other documents as may be required under the laws of the Republic of India or

the jurisdiction in which the Specified Office of such Conversion Agent shall be located. A

Conversion Notice deposited outside the hours specified above or on a day which is not a

Business Day at the place of the Specified Office of the Conversion Agent shall for all purposes

be deemed to have been deposited with such Conversion Agent on the next Business Day

following such Business Day. Any Bondholder who deposits a Conversion Notice during a

Closed Period will not be permitted to convert the Bonds into Shares (as specified in the

Conversion Notice) until after 9.00 am. on the next Business Day after the end of that Closed

Period, which (if all other conditions to conversion have been fulfilled) will be the Conversion

Date for such Bonds.

As a condition precedent to conversion the Bondholder must pay all stamp, issue, registration or

similar taxes and duties (""Taxes'') (if any) arising on Conversion (other than any such stamp,

issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable in India on the exercise of Conversion

Rights and the issue and allotment of Shares on Conversion, which the Company will pay to the

relevant authorities). The Company will pay all other expenses arising on the issue of Shares on

conversion of the Bonds and all charges of the Agents and the share transfer agent for the

Shares (""Share Transfer Agent'') in connection with Conversion. The Bondholder must

provide the Conversion Agent with confirmation of (as provided in the Conversion Notice)

payment to the relevant tax authorities in settlement of Taxes payable pursuant to this

Condition 6.2(A) at or before the time of deposit of the Conversion Notice. The Conversion

Agent is under no obligation to determine whether a Bondholder is liable to pay any Taxes

including stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties or the amounts payable (if any) in

connection with this Condition 6.2(A). A Bondholder exercising its Conversion Right for

Shares will be required to open a depositary account with a depository participant under the

Indian Depositories Act, 1996, for the purposes of receiving the Shares. The date which is one

Business Day after the date on which any Certificate and the Conversion Notice (in duplicate)

68


relating to a Bond to be converted are deposited with the Conversion Agent and all conditions

precedent to conversion of the Bond are fulfilled is called in these conditions the ""Conversion

Date'' of that Bond and must fall on a date during the Conversion Period. A Conversion Notice

and the relevant Certificate or Certificates once deposited may not be withdrawn without the

consent in writing of the Company, such consent to be notified to the Conversion Agent.

(B) Delivery of Shares: Upon exercise by a Bondholder of its Conversion Right for Shares, the

Company will, as soon as practicable, and in any event not later than 40 days after the

Conversion Date cause the relevant securities account of the Bondholder exercising his

Conversion Right for Shares or of his/their nominee, to be credited with such number of

relevant Shares to be issued upon conversion (notwithstanding any retroactive adjustment of

the Conversion Price referred to below prior to the time it takes effect) and shall further cause

the name of the concerned Bondholder or its nominee to be registered accordingly, in the record

of the depositors, maintained by the depository registered under the Depositories Act 1996 with

whom the Company has entered into a depository agreement and, subject to any applicable

limitations then imposed by Indian laws and regulations, shall procure the Share Transfer

Agent to, as soon as practicable, and in any event within 40 days of the Conversion Date,

despatch or cause to be despatched to the order of the person named for that purpose in the

relevant Conversion Notice at the place and in the manner specified in the relevant Conversion

Notice at the expense of the Company (uninsured and the risk of delivery at any such place

being that of the converting Bondholder), a US dollar cheque drawn on a branch of a bank in

New York City in respect of any cash payable pursuant to Condition 6.1(B) required to be

delivered on conversion and such assignments and other documents (if any) as required by law

to effect the transfer thereof.

The crediting of the Shares to the relevant securities account of the converting Bondholder will

be deemed to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay the principal and premium on the Bonds.

If the Conversion Date in relation to any Bond is on or after a date from which an adjustment to

the Conversion Price takes retroactive effect pursuant to any of the provisions referred to in

Condition 6.3 and in Clause 7 of the Trust Deed and the relevant Conversion Date falls on a

date when the relevant adjustment has not yet been reflected in the then current Conversion

Price. the Company will use its best endeavours to procure that the provisions of this

Condition 6.2(B) shall be applied, with appropriate alterations, to such number of Shares

(""Additional Shares'') as is equal to the excess number of Shares which would have been

required to be issued on conversion of such Bond if the relevant retroactive adjustment had been

made as at the said Conversion Date and in such event and in respect of such Additional Shares

references in this Condition 6.2(B) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to refer to the date

upon which such retroactive adjustment becomes effective (notwithstanding that the date upon

which it becomes effective falls after the end of the Conversion Period).

(C) Entitlements: The Shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds will in all respects rank

pari passu with the Shares in issue on the relevant Conversion Date (except for any right

excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law) and such Shares shall be entitled to all

rights the record date for which falls on or after such Conversion Date to the same extent as all

other fully-paid and non-assessable Shares of the Company in issue as if such Shares had been

in issue throughout the period to which such rights relate except that a Holder of Shares issued

on conversion of Bonds (including the Depository) shall not be entitled to any rights the record

date for which precedes the relevant Conversion Date.

6.3 Adjustment to Conversion Price

The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events:

(A) Free Distribution, Declaration of Dividend, Bonus Issue, Sub-Division, Consolidation and Re-

Classification of Shares

69


(1) Adjustment

If the Company shall

(a) make a free distribution of Shares;

(b) declare a dividend in Shares;

(c) make a bonus issue of its Shares, or

(d) sub-divide, consolidate or re-classify its Shares,

then the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company (on the advice

of an independent financial adviser selected by the Company, where appropriate) so that

the Holder of any Bond, the Conversion Date in respect of which occurs after the coming

into effect of the adjustment described in this Condition 6.3(A)(1), shall be entitled to

receive the number of Shares and/or other securities of the Company which he would

have held or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events

described above had such Bond been converted immediately prior to the happening of

such event (or, if the Company has fixed, or there is otherwise specified, a prior date for

the determination of shareholders entitled to receive any such free distribution or bonus

issue of Shares or other securities issued upon any such division, consolidation or re-

classification (the ""Determination Date''), immediately prior to such Determination

Date), but without prejudice to the effect of any other adjustment to the Conversion Price

made with effect from the date of the happening of such event (or such Determination

Date) or any time thereafter; provided, that, if the Company shall enter into any scheme

of arrangement or demerger (or any similar arrangement) (a ""Scheme'') pursuant to

which the Company's shareholders shall become entitled to receive stock, securities or

other interests of or in any person other than the Company, then, as a part of such

Scheme, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of any Bond shall thereafter be

entitled to receive upon exercise of conversion of such Bond, subject to the Conditions

contained herein, the number of shares of stock, securities or other interests of or in such

other person resulting from such Scheme that a Holder of Shares would have been

entitled to receive pursuant thereto had such Bond been converted immediately prior to

the effectiveness of such Scheme (or, if the Company has fixed a prior record date for the

determination of shareholders entitled to receive any such shares of stock, securities or

other interests of or in such other person issued pursuant to such Scheme, immediately

prior to such record date), all without prejudice to any other condition of this Condi-

tion 6.3(A)(1) and subject to further adjustment as provided in this Condition.

(2) Effective Date of Adjustment

An adjustment made pursuant to Condition 6.3(A)(1) above shall become effective

immediately on the relevant event referred to above becoming effective or, if a Determi-

nation Date is fixed therefor, immediately after such Determination Date; provided that in

the case of a free distribution or bonus issue of Shares which must, under applicable laws

of India, be submitted for approval to a general meeting of shareholders or be approved by

a meeting of the Directors of the Company before being legally paid or made, and which

is so approved after the Determination Date fixed for the determination of shareholders

entitled to receive such distribution or issue, such adjustment shall, immediately upon

such approval being given by such meeting, become effective retroactively to immediately

after such Determination Date.

(B) Concurrent Adjustment Events

If the Company shall declare a dividend in, or make a free distribution or bonus issue of, Shares

which dividend, issue or distribution is to be paid or made to shareholders as of a Determination

Date which is also:

70


(1) the Determination Date for the issue of any rights or warrants which requires an

adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Conditions 6.3(C) (Rights issues to

Shareholders for Shares), 6.3(D) (Options, rights or warrants issued to Shareholders) or

6.3(E) (Options, rights and warrants for equity related securities to Shareholders) below;

(2) the day immediately before the date of issue of any securities convertible into or

exchangeable for Shares which requires an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant

to Clause 6.3(H) (Issue of convertible or exchangeable securities other than to Share-

holders or on exercise of warrants) below;

(3) the day immediately before the date of issue of any Shares which requires an adjustment

of the Conversion Price pursuant to Clause 6.3(I) (Other issues of shares) below;

(4) the day immediately before the date of issue of any rights, options or warrants which

requires an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Clause 6.3(J) (Issues of

equity related Securities) below; or

(5) determined by the Company to be the relevant date for an event or circumstance which

requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Clause 6.3(K) (Analogous

events and modifications);

then (except where such dividend, bonus issue or free distribution gives rise to a retroactive

adjustment of the Conversion Price under Conditions 6.3(A) (Free distribution, declaration of

dividend, bonus issue, sub-division, consolidation and re-classification of Shares)) no adjust-

ment of the Conversion Price in respect of such dividend, bonus issue or free distribution shall

be made under this Condition 6.3(B), but in lieu thereof an adjustment shall be made under

Conditions 6.3(C) (Rights issues to Shareholders for Shares), 6.3(D) (Options, rights or

warrants issued to Shareholders), 6.3(E) (Options, rights and warrants for equity related

securities to Shareholders), 6.3(H) (Issue of convertible or exchangeable securities other than

equity related Securities) below (as the case may require) by including in the denominator of

the fraction described therein the aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to such

dividend, bonus issue or free distribution and, in the case of such dividend, including in the

numerator of the fraction described therein the number of Shares which the aggregate par value

of Shares to be so distributed would purchase at the Current Market Price (as defined in

Condition 6.3(M)) per Share.

(C) Rights Issues to Shareholders for Shares

minimum price per Share calculated in accordance with the SEBI (Disclosure and

Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2000, as amended.

occurred which has or would have an effect on the position of the Bondholders as a class

compared with the position of the holders of all the securities (and options and rights

relating thereto) of the Company, taken as a class which is analogous to any of the events

referred to in Conditions 6.3(A) to 6.3(J),

then, in any such case, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof and the Company shall

consult with such securities company as to what adjustment, if any, should be made to the

Conversion Price to preserve the value of the Conversion Right of Bondholders and will make

shall be the price for that class of Shares the issue of which (or of rights or warrants in respect

of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, that class of Shares) gives rise to the

adjustment in question.

If during the said 30 Trading Days or any period thereafter up to but excluding the date as of

which the adjustment of the Conversion Price in question shall be effected, any event (other

than the event which requires the adjustment in question) shall occur which gives rise to a

separate adjustment to the Conversion Price under the provisions of these Conditions, then the

Current Market Price as determined above shall be adjusted in such manner and to such extent

as a leading independent investment company or bank in Mumbai selected by the Company

shall in its absolute discretion deem appropriate and fair to compensate for the effect thereof.

The ""Closing Price'' of the Shares for each Trading Day shall be the last reported transaction

Shares for such day as furnished by a leading independent securities firm licensed to trade on

the Indian Exchange selected from time to time by the Company for the purpose; and

""Trading Day'' means a day when the Indian Exchange is open for business, but does not

include a day when (a) no such last transaction price or closing bid and offered prices is/are

any expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or

otherwise in connection therewith;

(2) in the case of the issue of Shares for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash,

the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as

determined by the Company (and in making such determination the Company shall

consult a leading independent securities company or bank in Mumbai of international

81


repute selected by the Company and shall take fully into account the advice received from

such company or bank) or, if pursuant to applicable law of India such determination is to

be made by application to a court of competent jurisdiction, as determined by such court

or an appraiser appointed by such court, irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof;

(3) in the case of the issue (whether initially or upon the exercise of rights or warrants) of

securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, the aggregate consideration

receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the

Company for such securities and (if applicable) rights or warrants plus the additional

consideration (if any) to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the

conversion or exchange of such securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or

rate and (if applicable) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or

purchase price (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as

provided in Conditions 6.3(N)(1) and 6.3(N)(2) above) and the consideration per

Share receivable by the Company shall be such aggregate consideration divided by the

number of Shares to be issued upon (and assuming) such conversion or exchange at the

initial conversion or exchange price or rate and (if applicable) the exercise of such rights

or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price;

(4) in the case of the issue of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Shares, the

aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the considera-

tion received by the Company for any such rights or warrants plus the additional

consideration to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the exercise of such

rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price (the consideration in each

case to be determined in the same manner as provided in Conditions 6.3(N)(1) and

6.3(N)(2) above) and the consideration per Share receivable by the Company shall be

such aggregate consideration divided by the number of Shares to be issued upon (and

assuming) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase

price; and

(5) if any of the consideration referred to in any of the preceding paragraphs of this

Condition 6.3(N) is receivable in a currency other than Rupees, such consideration shall

(in any case where there is a fixed rate of exchange between the Rupee and the relevant

currency for the purposes of the issue of the Shares, the conversion or exchange of such

securities or the exercise of such rights or warrants) be translated into Rupees for the

purposes of this Condition 6.3(N) at such fixed rate of exchange and shall (in all other

cases) be translated into Rupees at the mean of the exchange rate quotations (being

quotations for the cross rate through US Dollars if no direct rate is quoted) by a leading

bank in India for buying and selling the relevant currency at the existing inter-bank rate

by telegraphic transfer against Rupees on the date as of which the said consideration is

account pursuant to the proviso to Condition 6.3(P) (Minor adjustments) below) to reflect an

issue of Shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or of rights or

warrants to subscribe for or purchase Shares or securities, to the extent that the number of such

Shares or securities taken into account for the purposes of calculating such adjustment exceeds

82


the number of such Shares in issue at the time relevant for ascertaining the number of

outstanding Shares for the purposes of computing the later adjustment, such excess Shares shall

be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of making such computation.

(P) Minor Adjustments

All calculations under this Condition 6.3 shall be rounded down to the nearest Rupee. No

adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required if the adjustment would be less than

1 per cent of the Conversion Price then in effect; provided that any adjustment which by reason

of this Condition 6.3(P) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into

account (as if such adjustment had been made at the time when it would have been made but

for the provisions of this Condition 6.3(P)) in any subsequent adjustment.

Where more than one event which gives rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs

within such a short period of time that, in the opinion of a leading securities company of

international repute in India (selected by, and at the expense of, the Company), a modification

to the operation of the adjustment provisions is required in order to give the intended result,

such modification shall be made to such operation as may be advised by such securities

company to be in its opinion appropriate to give such intended result.

(Q) Minimum Conversion Price

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Condition 6.3, the Company warrants that (i) the

Conversion Price shall not be reduced unless under applicable law then in effect Bonds may be

converted at such reduced Conversion Price into legally issued, fully-paid and non-assessable

Shares; and (ii) it will not take any corporate or other action which may result in the

Conversion Price being reduced below the Minimum Floor Price (as defined in Condition 6.4

below).

consideration is originally expressed by reference to a formula which cannot be expressed as an

actual cash amount until a later date, be construed as a reference to the first day on which such

actual cash amount can be ascertained.

(S) Trustee not Obliged to Monitor

The Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to monitor whether any events or

circumstances have happened or exist pursuant to this Condition 6.3, and it may assume until it

receives express notice in writing from the Company to the contrary that no such event has

No consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with any other corporation (other than a

consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or sale or

transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company (whether as a single transaction or a number

of transactions, related or not, to any corporation, entity or person) shall take place without the prior written

consent of the Bondholders and, in addition, unless the Company and such corporation, entity or person shall

have executed a trust deed supplemental to the Trust Deed (in form and substance satisfactory to the

Trustee) whereby such corporation, entity or person assumes the obligations of the Company under the

Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement and the Bonds and to ensure that the holder of each Bond then

outstanding will have the right (during the period when such Bond shall be convertible) to convert such Bond

into the class and amount of shares, cash and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation,

amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of Shares which would have become liable

to be issued upon conversion of such Bond immediately prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger,

sale or transfer. Such supplemental trust deed will provide for adjustments which will be as nearly equivalent

as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in the foregoing provisions of this Condition 7. The

Trustee shall be entitled to require from the Company such certificate signed by two directors of the

Company, opinions, consents, documents and other matters at the expense of the Company in connection with

the foregoing as it may consider appropriate but shall have no responsibility for the terms of any such

consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer or effect thereof upon the Bondholders or the

Conversion Rights. The above provisions of this Condition 7.1 will apply in the same way to any subsequent

consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, sales or transfers.

7.2 Company's Undertakings

The Company has undertaken in the Trust Deed that it will (a) use its best endeavours to (i) obtain

and maintain a listing for all the Shares issued on the exercise of the Conversion Rights attaching to the Bonds

on the BSE and the NSE and (ii) obtain and maintain a listing of the Bonds on the Singapore Exchange

86


Securities Trading Limited and (b), if the Company is unable to obtain and maintain such listings, use its best

endeavours to obtain and maintain a listing for all the Shares issued on the exercise of the Conversion Rights,

or the Bonds, as the case may be, on any other stock exchange as the Company may from time to time

determine and will forthwith give notice to the Bondholders of the listing or delisting of the Shares (as a class)

or the Bonds by any stock exchange in accordance with Condition 18.

The Company has undertaken in the Trust Deed to pay the expenses of the issue of, and all expenses

of obtaining listing for, Shares arising on conversion of the Bonds, other than as may be expressed to be

payable by a Bondholder pursuant to Condition 6.2.

The Company has further undertaken in the Trust Deed (i) not to sell, dispose, transfer (except for a

transfer by way of security only) or otherwise divest itself of more than 50% of its shares in any of its

Subsidiaries to any third person other than any Subsidiary and (ii) to procure that no Subsidiary shall merge

or sell substantially all of its assets, without the consent of the Trustee acting on the instruction of the

Bondholders provided that any of the Subsidiaries may merge with or amalgamate with each other or with the

Company and the consent of the Trustee to such mergers or amalgamation shall not be required.

The Company has also undertaken not to sell, dispose of, transfer or allot any Shares or sell, dispose

of, transfer (except by way of security only) or otherwise divest itself of shares in any of its Subsidiaries to any

third person other than any Subsidiary until the expiry of ninety days following the Original Issue Date (as

such term is defined in Condition 9.2). During this 90 day period, the Company may issue securities entitling

the promoters to hold additional Shares in order to counter the dilution of their holdings from the conversion

of Bonds and the issue of CCPSs, thereby diluting Bondholders' potential shareholdings in the Company.

will be tradable on such stock exchange once listed thereon, which is expected to occur within 40 days after

the Conversion Date.

present or future to secure any Relevant Debt, or any guarantee of or indemnity in respect

of any Relevant Debt;

(2) the Company will procure that no other person creates or permits to subsist any Security

upon the whole or any part of the undertaking, assets or revenues present or future of that

other person to secure (x) any of the Company's or any Subsidiary's Relevant Debt, or

any guarantee of or indemnity in respect of any of the Company's or any Subsidiary's

Relevant Debt or (y), where the person in question is a Subsidiary of the Company, any

of the Relevant Debt of any person other than that Subsidiary, or any guarantee or

indemnity in respect of any such Relevant Debt;

(3) the Company will procure that no other person gives any guarantee of, or indemnity in

respect of, any of the Company's or any Subsidiary's Relevant Debt; unless, at the same

time or prior thereto, the Company's obligations under the Bonds and the Trust Deed,

in substantially identical terms thereto, as the case maybe, in each case to the satisfaction

of the Trustee, or (bb) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or

other arrangement as shall be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the

Trust Deed) of the Bondholders.

The Company had issued certain preference shares prior to the merger of 2003. The Company

redeemed 20 13.5% Redeemable Cumulative Preference Shares of Rs.100 each in March 2003. There are no

outstanding preference shares at present and the Company has not made any rights/bonus issue in the past

three years.

Issue of the CCPSs

On or about the same date as the offering of the Bonds, the Issuer is proposing to enter a subscription

agreement with the Manager pursuant to which it may issue by way of private placement US$20,000,000

unlisted 6.75% cumulative compulsory convertible preference shares (""CCPSs'') of par value Rs.100 per

share. The CCPSs are convertible into Shares at a conversion price of Rs.159.50 per Share, subject to the

regulations of India. The CCPSs may not be transferred during the twelve month period commencing date of

issue of the CCPSs and the CCPSs must be converted by the end of the 18 month period on the date of the

issue of the CCPSs. The CCPSs will bear dividend at a rate of 6.75% per annum, payable semi-annually after

the issue date of the CCPSs. The issue of the CCPSs is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Issuer at

an extraordinary general meeting (""EGM'') in August 2006 and the ""Regulatory Floor'' (i.e. the minimum

price per Share to be issued on the conversion of the CCPSs, calculated in accordance with the SEBI

(Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2000, as amended or otherwise) will be determined as of the

date which is 30 days prior to the date of the EGM. The offering of the CCPSs is pursuant to a subscription

agreement between the Manager and the Issuer that is to be entered into on or about the same date as the

offering Bonds. The offering of the Bonds is not conditional upon the offering or issue of the CCPSs.

Changes in Issued Share Capital

Other than as stated above, there have been no changes in the issued share capital since 1 April 2003.

Foreign Shareholdings

The non-resident shareholding in the Company before the merger in 2003 was 503,824 shares

constituting 2.63% of the total issued and paid up capital of the Company. Pursuant to the merger, the non-

resident shareholding was 503,824 shares constituting 2.61% of the total issued and paid up capital of the

Company.

There has been no issue of shares to non-residents after the merger. The existing shareholding of non-

residents in the Company has arisen by transfer of their shareholding from Radico Khaitan Limited pursuant

to the merger. The Company had obtained the approval of the RBI in letter no. EC CO.FID (II) /1497/

10.2.40(1568) 99-2000 dated September 16, 1999 under Section 19(1)(d) of the Foreign Exchange

Regulation Act, 1973 for the issue of equity shares to existing non-resident shareholders of Indian origin with

repatriation benefits under 40% scheme in the three resultant companies consequent on the scheme of

arrangement for the trifurcation of the erstwhile Radico Khaitan Limited. Under the terms of the approval the

shares allotted to the non-residents are not to be transferred by them without prior approval of the RBI unless

the transfer is to a close "relative' as the term is defined under the Companies Act.

The Company has relied on Regulation 7 of the FEMA (Transfer or issue of security by a person

resident outside India) Regulations, 2000 and on the BIFR order dated 30 December 2002 for allotting shares

in the Company to the said non-residents pursuant to the merger. In accordance with Regulation 7, the

Company has filed a report with the Reserve Bank of India providing the details of the foreign shareholding in

the Company and confirmation of compliance with the terms and conditions of the BIFR order.

By a shareholders' resolution dated 16 November 2005 the Company increased the investment limit

for investment by Foreign Institutional Investors (""FIIs'') in equity/debentures/convertible securities issued

by the Company under the Portfolio Investment Scheme subject to the condition that the total investment by

FIIs in the Company shall not exceed 35% of the paid up equity share capital/ debentures/convertible

securities of the Company, as the case may be.

105


Dividends

Under Indian law unless the Company's board of directors (the ""Board'') recommends the payment

of a dividend, the shareholders at the general meeting have no power to declare any dividend. Dividends may

not be declared by the Company unless the shareholders of the Company so approve at a general meeting. The

shareholders at the general meeting may declare a dividend lower but not higher, than that recommended by

the Board. Dividends are generally declared as a percentage of the par value. The dividend recommended by

the Board and approved by the shareholders at the general meeting is distributed and paid to the shareholders

in proportion to the paid up value of the shares on the record date for which such dividend is payable. In

addition, as is permitted by the Company's Articles of Association, the Board may declare and pay interim

dividend. Under the Companies Act, dividend can only be paid in cash to shareholders listed on the register of

members on the date specified as the ""record date'' or ""book closure date''. In case of Shares held in de-

materialised form the dividend is payable to the beneficial owners of the Shares, as per the records of the

depository. ®No shareholder is entitled to a dividend in respect of any Share which has been forfeited in

accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company.©

Any dividend declared shall be deposited in a separate bank account within five days of the

declaration of such dividend. Dividends must be paid within 30 days from the date of the declaration and any

dividend which remains unpaid or unclaimed after that period must be transferred within seven days to a

special unpaid dividend account held at a scheduled bank. Any money which remains unpaid or unclaimed for

seven years from the date of such transfer must be transferred by the Company to the Investor Education and

Protection Fund established by the Government pursuant to which no claim shall lie against the Company or

the said Fund.

Under the Companies Act, the Company may only pay a dividend in excess of 10% of paid-up capital

in respect of any year out of the profits of that year after it has transferred to the reserves of the Company a

percentage of its profits for that year ranging between 2.5% to 10% depending on the rate of dividend proposed

to be declared in that year. The Companies Act further provides that if the profit for a year is insufficient, the

dividend for that year may be declared out of the accumulated profits earned in previous years and transferred

to reserves, subject to the following conditions: (i) the rate of dividend to be declared may not exceed the

lesser of the average of the rates at which dividends were declared in the five years immediately preceding the

year, or 10% of paid-up capital; (ii) the total amount to be drawn from the accumulated profits from previous

years and transferred to the reserves, may not exceed an amount equivalent to one tenth of the paid-up capital

and free reserves and the amount so drawn is first to be used to set off the losses incurred in the financial year

before any dividends in respect of preference or equity shares is declared; and (iii) the balance of reserves after

withdrawals must not be below 15% of paid-up capital.

Capitalisation of Reserves and Issue of Bonus Shares

The Company's Articles of Association permit the Company by a resolution of the shareholders in a

general meeting to resolve in certain circumstances that certain amounts standing to the credit of certain

reserves or securities premium can be capitalised by the issue of fully paid bonus shares or by crediting shares

not fully paid-up with the whole or part of any sum outstanding. Bonus shares must be issued pro rata to the

amount of capital paid-up on existing shareholdings. Any issue of bonus shares would be subject to the

guidelines issued by SEBI in this regard. The relevant SEBI guidelines prescribe that no company shall,

pending conversion of convertible securities, issue any shares by way of bonus unless similar benefit is

extended to the holders of such convertible securities, through reservation of shares in proportion to such

conversion. The bonus issue shall be made out of free reserves built out of the genuine profits or share

premium collected in cash only. The bonus issue cannot be made unless the partly paid shares, if any existing,

are made fully paid-up. Further, for the issuance of such bonus shares a company should not have defaulted in

the payment of interest or principal in respect of fixed deposits and interest on existing debentures or principal

on redemption of such debentures. The declaration of bonus shares in lieu of dividend cannot be made.

Further a company should have sufficient reason to believe that it has not defaulted in respect of the payment

of statutory dues of the employees such as contribution to provident fund, gratuity and bonus. The issuance of

bonus shares must be implemented within six months from the date of approval by the board of directors.

106


Pre-Emptive Rights and Alteration of Share Capital

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Company may increase its share capital by

issuing new shares. Such new shares shall be offered to existing shareholders listed on the members' register

on the record date in proportion to the amount paid-up on those shares at that date. The offer shall be made by

notice specifying the number of shares offered and the date (being not less than 15 days from the date of the

offer) after which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to have been declined. After such date the Board

may dispose of the shares offered in respect of which no acceptance has been received, in such manner as they

think most beneficial to the Company. The offer is deemed to include a right exercisable by the person

concerned to renounce the shares offered to him in favour of any other person.

Under the provisions of the Companies Act, new shares may be offered to any persons whether or not

those persons include existing shareholders either, if a special resolution to that effect is passed by the

shareholders of the company in a general meeting or where only a simple majority of shareholders present and

voting have passed the resolution, the Government's permission has been taken.

The issuance of the Shares upon conversion of the Bonds has been duly approved by a special

resolution of the shareholders of the Company and such shareholders have waived their pre-emptive rights

with respect to such Shares.

General Meetings of Shareholders

The Company must hold its annual general meeting each year within 15 months of the previous

annual general meeting, unless extended by the Registrar of Companies at the request of the Company for any

special reason. The Board may convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders when necessary or at

the request of a shareholder or shareholders holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of the paid-up capital

of the Company. Written notices convening a meeting setting out the date, place and agenda of the meeting

must be given to members at least 21 clear days prior to the date of the proposed meeting. A general meeting

may be called after giving shorter notice if consent is received from all shareholders entitled to vote, in the

case of an annual general meeting, and from shareholders holding not less than 95% of the paid-up capital of

the Company in the case of any other general meeting. Currently, the Company gives written notices to all

members and, in addition, gives public notice of general meetings of shareholders in a daily newspaper of

general circulation in the region of registered office of the Company. The quorum for a general meeting of the

Company is five shareholders personally present.

A company intending to pass a resolution relating to matters such as, but not limited to, amendment

in the objects clause of the memorandum, buy back of shares under the Companies Act, giving loans or

extending guarantee in excess of limits prescribed under the Companies Act, and guidelines issued thereunder,

is required to obtain the resolution passed by means of a postal ballot instead of transacting the business in the

general meeting of the company. A notice to all the shareholders shall be sent along with a draft resolution

explaining the reasons thereof and requesting them to send their assent or dissent in writing on a postal ballot

within a period of 30 days from the date of posting the letter. Postal ballot includes voting by electronic mode.

Voting Rights

At a general meeting upon a show of hands, every member holding shares and entitled to vote and

present in person has one vote. Upon a poll the voting rights of each shareholder entitled to vote and present in

person or by proxy is in the same proportion as the capital paid-up on each share held by such holder bears to

the total paid-up capital of the company. Voting is by show of hands, unless a poll is ordered by the Chairman

of the meeting or demanded by shareholder or shareholders holding at least 10% of the voting rights in respect

of the resolution or by those holding paid-up capital of at least Rs.50,000 (i.e. 25,000 shares of Rs.2 each).

The Chairman of the meeting has a casting vote.

Ordinary resolutions may be passed by simple majority of those eligible and voting. Special

resolutions require the vote of three fourths of the members eligible and voting. The Companies Act provides

that to amend the Articles of Association, a special resolution is required to be passed in a general meeting.

107


Certain instances, including change in the name of the company, reduction of share capital, approval of

variation of rights of special classes of shares and dissolution of the company require a special resolution.

A shareholder may exercise his voting rights by proxy to be given in the form provided by

Schedule IX of the Companies Act. The instrument appointing a proxy is required to be lodged with the

Company at least 48 hours before the time of the meeting. Any shareholder of the Company may appoint a

proxy. A proxy shall not vote except on a poll and does not have a right to speak at meetings. A corporate

shareholder is also entitled to nominate a representative to attend and vote on its behalf at general meetings,

who shall not be deemed a proxy. Such an authorised representative can vote in all respects as if a member,

including on a show of hands and a poll.

The Companies Act allows for a company to issue shares with differential rights as to dividend, voting

or otherwise subject to certain conditions prescribed under applicable law. In this regard, the laws require that

for a public company to issue shares with differential voting rights the company must have had distributable

profits in terms of the Companies Act for a period of three financial years, the company has not defaulted in

filing annual accounts and annual returns for the immediately preceding three years, the articles of association

of the company allow for the issuance of such shares with differential voting rights and such other conditions

set forth in the Companies (Issue of Share Capital with Differential Voting Rights) Rules, 2001.

Convertible Securities/Warrants

The Company may issue from time to time debt instruments that are partly and fully convertible into

Shares and/or warrants to purchase Shares.

Register of Members and Record Dates

The Company is obliged to maintain a register of members at its registered office. The register and

index of beneficial owners maintained by a depository under the Depositories Act, 1996 is deemed to be an

index of members and register and index of debenture holders. The Company recognises as shareholders only

those persons who appear on its register of members and the Company cannot recognise any person holding

any Share or part of it upon any trust, express, implied or constructive, except as permitted by law. In the case

of shares held in physical form, the Company registers transfers of shares on the register of shareholders upon

lodgement of the share transfer form duly complete in all respects accompanied by a share certificate or if

there is no certificate, the letter of allotment in respect of shares to be transferred together with duly stamped

transfer forms. In respect of electronic transfers, the depository transfers shares by entering the name of the

purchaser in its books as the beneficial owner of the shares. In turn, the Company enters the name of the

depository in its records as the registered owner of the shares. The beneficial owner is entitled to all the rights

and benefits as well as the liabilities with respect to the shares that are held by the depository. Transfer of

beneficial ownership through a depository is exempt from any stamp duty.

For the purpose of determining the shareholders, the register of members may be closed for periods

not exceeding 45 days in any one year or 30 days at any one time. In order to determine the shareholders

entitled to dividends the Company keeps the register of members closed for approximately 10 to 20 days,

generally before the annual general meeting. Under the listing regulations of the stock exchanges on which the

Company's outstanding Shares are listed, the Company may, upon at least 15 days' advance notice to such

stock exchanges, set a record date and/or close the register of members in order to ascertain the identity of

shareholders. The trading of Shares and the delivery of certificates in respect thereof may continue while the

register of members is closed.

Annual Report and Financial Results

The Company's audited financial statements for the relevant financial year, the directors' report and

the auditors' report (collectively the ""Annual Report'') must be laid before the annual general meeting. These

also include certain other financial information of the Company, a corporate governance section and

management's discussion and analysis and are made available for inspection at the Company's registered

office during normal working hours for 21 clear days prior to the annual general meeting.

108


Under the Companies Act, the Company must file the Annual Report with the Registrar of

Companies within 30 days from the date of the annual general meeting. As required under the listing

agreement, copies are required to be sent to the BSE and the NSE. The Company must also publish its

financial results in at least one English language daily newspaper circulating in the whole or substantially the

whole of India and also in a newspaper published in the language of the region where the registered office of

the Company is situated.

The Company files certain information on-line, including its Annual Report, interim financial

statements, report on corporate governance and shareholding pattern statement, in accordance with the

requirements of the Listing Agreement.

Transfer of Shares

Shares held through depositories are transferred in the form of book entries or in electronic form in

accordance with the regulations laid down by the SEBI. These regulations provide the regime for the

functioning of the depositories and the participants and set out the manner in which the records are to be kept

and maintained and the safeguards to be followed in this system. Transfers of beneficial ownerships of shares

held through a depository are exempt from stamp duty. The Company has entered into an agreement for such

depository services with National Securities Depository Limited and the Central Depository Services India

Limited.

The Shares of the Company are freely transferable, subject only to the provisions of the Companies

Act under which, if a transfer of Shares contravenes the SEBI provisions or the regulations issued under it or

the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (""SICA'') or any other law, the Indian

Company Law Board may, on an application made by the company, a participant, a depository incorporated in

India, an investor or the SEBI, direct a rectification of the register of records. If a company without sufficient

cause refuses to register a transfer of shares within two months from the date of which the instrument of

transfer is delivered to the company, the transferee may appeal to the Indian Company Law Board seeking to

register the transfer of equity shares. Under the Companies (Second Amendment) Act, 2002, the Indian

Company Law Board will be replaced with the National Company Law Tribunal. Further, under the Sick

Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Repeal Act 2003, which is expected to come into force shortly, the

SICA is sought to be repealed and the Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction, as constituted under

the SICA, is to be replaced with the National Company Law Tribunal. Pursuant to the Listing Agreement, in

the event the Company has not effected the transfer of Shares within one month or where the Company has

failed to communicate to the transferee any valid objection to the transfer within the stipulated time period of

one month, the Company is required to compensate the aggrieved party for the opportunity loss caused during

the period of delay. The Companies Act provides that the shares or debentures of the public listed company

(such as the Company) shall be freely transferable. The Articles of Association of the Company provide for

certain restrictions on the transfer of shares, including granting power to the board of directors in certain

circumstances, to refuse to register or acknowledge transfer of shares or other securities issued by the

Company. However, to the extent that the provisions of the Articles are in conflict with any of the provisions

of the Companies Act, the Companies Act shall prevail.

Buyback of Shares

The Company is prohibited from buying back its own shares unless the consequent reduction of

capital is effected and sanctioned by the High Court of competent jurisdiction. However, pursuant to certain

amendments to the Companies Act, a company has been empowered to purchase its own shares or other

specified securities out of its free reserves, or the securities premium account or the proceeds of any shares or

other specified securities (other than the kind of shares or other specified securities proposed to be bought

back) subject to certain conditions, including that:

‚ the buy back is authorised by the Articles of Association of the company;

‚ a special resolution has been passed in the general meeting of the company authorising the buy back;

109


‚ the buy back is limited to 25% of the total paid up capital and free reserves;

‚ the ratio of debt owed by the company is not more than twice the capital and free reserves after such

buy back; and

‚ the buy-back is in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy-Back of

Securities) Regulation, 1998.

The first two conditions mentioned above would not be applicable if the buy-back is for less than 10%

of the total paid-up equity capital and free reserves of the company and provided that such buy-back has been

authorised by the board of directors of the company at its meeting and in such a case the company buying

back its securities is not permitted to buy back any securities for a period of one year from the date of the

preceding buy-back, if any. A company buying back its securities is required to extinguish and physically

destroy the securities so bought back within seven days of the last date of completion of the buy-back. A

Company which has bought back its shares is not permitted to issue securities for six months except by way of

bonus issue or in the discharge of subsisting obligations such as conversion of warrants, stock option schemes,

sweat equity or conversion of preference shares or debentures into equity shares.

Liquidation Rights at the Time of Winding Up

All surplus assets after payments due to workmen, statutory creditors, and secured and unsecured

creditors belong to the holders of the equity shares in proportion to the amount paid up or credited as paid-up

on such shares respectively at the commencement of the winding-up.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Issuer is a limited liability public company incorporated under the laws of India. Substantially all

of the Issuer's directors and executive officers are residents of India and all or a substantial portion of the

assets of the Issuer and such persons are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to

effect service of process upon the Issuer or such persons in jurisdictions outside of India, or to enforce against

them judgments obtained in courts outside of India. India is not a party to any international treaty in relation

to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments.

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 of the Code of

Civil Procedure, 1908 as amended (the ""Civil Code''). Section 13 of the Civil Code provides that a foreign

judgment shall be conclusive as to any matter directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or between

parties under whom they or any of them claim litigating under the same title except (i) where the judgment

has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) where the judgment has not been given on

the merits of the case, (iii) where the judgment appears on the face of the proceedings to be founded on an

incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognise the law of India in cases where such law is

applicable, (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice,

(v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a

breach of any law in force in India. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign judgment has

been rendered by a superior court, as defined under Section 44A, in any country or territory outside India

which the Government has by notification declared to be a reciprocating territory for the purposes of

Section 44A, it may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by

the relevant court in India. However, Section 44A of the Civil Code is applicable only to a decree or judgment

of a superior court under which a sum of money is payable, not being a sum in respect of taxes of other charges

of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty, and shall in no case include an arbitration award, even if

such award is enforceable as a decree or judgment.

The United Kingdom has been declared by the Government to be a reciprocating territory for the

purpose of Section 44A of the Civil Code. However, the United States has not been so declared. Accordingly,

a judgment of a court in the United States may be enforced only by a suit upon the judgment and not by

proceedings in execution. Such a suit must be filed in India within three years from the date of the judgment

in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. A party seeking to enforce a

foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to repatriate outside India any amount

recovered.

TAXATION

The following is a summary of the principal Indian tax consequences for non-resident investors of theBonds who acquire the Bonds pursuant to this offering circular. The summary details the tax consequences forthe non-resident investors only in relation to the Bonds and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Bonds.The summary only addresses the tax consequences for non-resident investors who hold the Bonds or theShares issued on conversion of Bonds as capital assets and does not address the tax consequences which maybe relevant to other classes of non-resident investors, including dealers. The summary proceeds on the basisthat the investor continues to remain a non-resident when the income by way of dividends and capital gainsare earned. The summary is based on Indian tax laws as are in force as at the date of this offering circular andis subject to change. This summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all the taxconsequences for a non-resident investor under Indian law in relation to the acquisition, ownership anddisposal of the Bonds or Shares issuable upon conversion of the Bonds. Potential investors should thereforeconsult their own tax advisers on the tax consequences of such acquisition, ownership and disposal of theBonds or the Shares under Indian law including specifically, the tax treaty between India and their country ofresidence and the law of the jurisdiction of their residence.

The following discussion describes the material Indian income tax, stamp duty and estate duty

consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposal of the Bonds and the Shares issuable upon conversion of

the Bonds. The Income Tax Act 1961 (the ""Income Tax Act'') is the law relating to taxation of income in

India. The Income Tax Act provides for the taxation of persons resident in India on their global income and

persons not resident in India on income received, accruing or arising in India or deemed to have been received,

accrued or arisen in India. This summary is based on the provisions of Section 115AC of the Income Tax Act

and other applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act and the Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds

and Ordinary Shares (through Depositary Receipt Mechanism) Scheme 1993 promulgated by the Govern-

ment of India (together referred to as the ""Tax Regime'').

Taxation of Income from Bonds

The Tax Regime provides that payment of interest on the Bonds paid to the non-resident Holders of

the Bonds will be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 10% plus surcharge at the applicable rate. The

Income Tax Act requires that such tax be withheld at source. Under the Issue of Foreign Currency

Convertible Bonds and Ordinary Shares (through Depositary Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993, the

transfer of Bonds outside India by a non-resident holder to another non-resident shall not give rise to any

capital gains tax in India. However, Section 115AC of the Income Tax Act provides that income by way of

long-term capital gains arising from the transfer of Bonds outside India by the non-resident holder to another

non-resident is subject to tax at the rate of 10 per cent. In the circumstances, if at all, that capital gains arising

from a transfer of Bonds are taxable under the Income Tax Act, the same shall be subject to tax as long term

capital gains at the rate of 10 per cent plus surcharge at the applicable rate if such Bonds have been held by

the non-resident holder for more than three years. In the event that such Bonds have been held by the non-

resident holder for less than three years, the capital gains shall be subject to tax as short term capital gains at

the normal income tax rates applicable to non-residents under the provisions of the Income Tax Act. It is

unclear whether capital gains derived from the sale by a non-resident investor of rights in respect of Bonds will

be subject to tax liability in India. This will depend on the view taken by Indian tax authorities on the position

with respect to the situs of the rights being offered in respect of the Bonds. The premium payable by the

Company to a non-resident Bondholder upon redemption of the Bonds will be taxed as long term capital gains

at the concessional rate of 10 per cent. plus surcharge at the applicable rate if the Bonds have been held by the

non-resident holder for more than three years.

In the event that the Bonds have been held by the non-resident holder for less than three years, the

capital gains due to payment of premium on redemption of the Bonds shall be subject to tax as short term

capital gains at the normal income tax rates applicable to non-residents under the provisions of the Income

Tax Act. Withholding tax on capital gains due to payment of premium on redemption of the Bonds is required

to be deducted under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act at the prescribed rates.

114


Taxation of Shares Issued upon Conversion of Bonds

The conversion of Bonds into Shares shall not give rise to any capital gains liable to income tax in

India. However, the issue of Shares by the Company upon conversion of Bonds will be chargeable to stamp

duty as described below under ""Stamp Duty''.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends paid to a non-resident holder of Shares issued upon conversion of Bonds are not presently

liable to tax. However, the Company is liable to pay a ""dividend distribution tax'' currently at the rate of

approximately 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge) on the total amount distributed as dividend.

Taxation of Sale of the Shares

Sale of the Shares by any holder thereof may occasion certain incidence of tax in India, as is

discussed below. Under applicable law, a transaction of sale of Shares may be chargeable to a transaction tax

and/or tax on income by way of capital gains. Capital gains accruing to a non-resident investor on the sale of

the Shares, whether to an Indian resident or to a person resident outside India and whether in India or outside

India, may be subject to Indian capital gains tax in certain instances as described below.

Sale of the Shares on a Recognised Stock Exchange

In accordance with applicable Indian tax laws, any income arising from a sale of the equity shares of

an Indian company through a recognised stock exchange in India is subject to securities transaction tax. Such

tax is payable by a person irrespective of its residential status and is to be collected by the recognised stock

exchange in India on which the sale of the equity shares is effected.

Capital gains (calculated in the manner set forth in the following paragraph) realised in respect of

Shares held by the non-resident investor for more than 12 months will be treated as long-term capital gains

and will not be subject to tax in the event such transaction is chargeable to securities transaction tax. Capital

gains (calculated in the manner set forth in the following paragraph) realised in respect of Shares held by the

non-resident investor for 12 months or less will be treated as short term capital gains and will be subject to tax

at the rate of 10% plus surcharge at the rate of 2.5%, in the event such transaction is chargeable to securities

transaction tax. Withholding tax on capital gains on sale of the Shares is required to be deducted under

Section 195 of the Income Tax Act at the prescribed rates.

For the purpose of computing capital gains tax on the sale of the Shares, the cost of acquisition of the

Shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds would be the market price of the Shares on the BSE on the date

of conversion. For the purpose of computing capital gains on sale of Shares, the sale consideration received or

accruing on such sale shall be reduced by the cost of acquisition of such Shares and any expenditure incurred

wholly and exclusively in connection with such sale. However, there is no corresponding provision in the

Income Tax Act as to the cost of acquisition of the Shares being the price prevailing on the date of conversion

as explained above.

Sale of the Shares otherwise than on a Recognised Stock Exchange

Capital gains (calculated in the manner set forth above) realised in respect of Shares held by the

non-resident investor for more than 12 months will be treated as long-term capital gains and will be subject to

tax at the rate of 10% plus surcharge at the rate of 2.5%. Capital gains (calculated in the manner set forth

above) realised in respect of Shares held by the non-resident investor for 12 months or less will be treated as

short term capital gains and will be subject to tax at the normal income tax rates applicable to non-residents

under the provisions of the Income Tax Act. Withholding tax on capital gains on sale of the Shares is required

to be deducted under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act at the prescribed rates.

115


Capital Losses

The losses arising from a transfer of a capital asset in India can only be set off against capital gains

and not against any other income in accordance with the Income Tax Act. A long-term capital loss may be set

off only against a long-term capital gain. To the extent that the losses are not absorbed in the year of transfer,

they may be carried forward for a period of eight assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment

year for which the loss was first computed and may be set off against the capital gains assessable for such

subsequent assessment years. In order to get the benefit of set-off of the capital losses in this manner, the non-

resident investor would be required to file appropriate and timely tax returns in India and undergo the usual

assessment procedures.

Tax Treaties

The above mentioned tax rates and the consequent taxation shall be subject to any benefits available

to a non-resident investor under the provisions of any agreement for the avoidance of double taxation entered

into by the Government of India with the country of residence of such non-resident investor.

Stamp Duty

Upon issuance of the Shares upon conversion of the Bonds, stamp duty as applicable would need to

be paid regardless of whether such Shares are issued in physical or dematerialised form. If the Shares are

issued in physical form, the transfer of the Shares would be subject to stamp duty at the rate of 0.25% (as

presently in force) of the value of the ordinary shares on the trade date and such stamp duty customarily is

borne by the transferee. However, if the Shares are issued in dematerialised form, no stamp duty is payable on

the transfer of the Shares in dematerialised form.

Wealth Tax, Gift Tax and Inheritance Tax

At present there are no taxes on wealth, gifts and inheritances which apply to the Bonds or Shares

issuable upon conversion of the Bonds.

Service Tax

Brokerage or commission fees paid to stockbrokers in connection with the sale or purchase of Shares

are now subject to an Indian service tax at a rate of 10%. A stockbroker is responsible for collection of such

service tax at the prescribed rate and for paying the same to the relevant authority.

Tax Credit

A non-resident investor would be entitled to tax credit with respect to any withholding tax paid by the

Issuer or any other person for its account in accordance with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

Education Cess

In all the above cases, the amount of income tax and surcharge and service tax as stated above would

be increased by an education cess of 2%.

116

19. Significant Accounting Policies and Notes on Accounts 2003-04

(A) Significant Accounting Policies

1. Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared on historical cost convention, unless stated otherwise, on a going concern basis and, in

accordance with the accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, to the extent applicable.

2. Valuation of Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost except to the extent revalued. Borrowing costs attributable to the qualifying assets and all significant

costs incidental to the acquisition of assets are capitalised.

Freehold and leasehold land at Rampur have been revalued as on 1st January, 1999. Building, Plant & Machinery relating to

distillery unit acquired/installed upto Dec, 1984 have been revalued as on 31st Dec 1985.

3. Depreciation

a) Cost of leasehold land and leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease.

b) Depreciation is charged for the year on straight line basis at the rates and in the manner specified in Schedule XIV of the

Companies Act, 1956.

c) On additions costing less than Rs. 5000, depreciation is provided on pro rata basis.

d) Depreciation on amount added on revaluation of assets is transferred from Revaluation Reserve.

4. Investments

Investments are valued at Cost. Provision for diminution in value is considered, if in the opinion of the Management, such a

decline is considered permanent.

5. Inventories

Finished goods and stock in process are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes cost of conversion and other

expenses incurred in bringing the goods to their location and condition. Raw materials, Packing Materials, Stores and spares are

valued at cost. Cost is ascertained on ""weighted average'' basis.

6. Revenue recognition

Sales are recognised on delivery or on passage of title of the goods to the customers. They are accounted net of trade discounts and

rebates but inclusive of Excise duty and Sales/Trade tax. Duty draw back is accounted for on the basis of exports sales effected

during the year.

7. Excise Duty

Keeping in view that State excise duty payable on finished products is not determinable, as it varies depending on the places to

which they are despatched, the excise duty on the stocks lying in factory is accounted for on clearances of such goods. The method

of accounting has no impact on the results of the year.

8. Transfer pricing of Bio-gas/Power

Since it is not possible to compute the actual cost, inter unit transfer of bio-gas &power have been valued on the basis of savings in

direct fuel cost/prevailing purchase price of power. The same has been considered for valuation of inventories.

9. Treatment of Employee benefits

The Company makes regular contributions to duly constituted funds set up for Provident Fund, Family Pension Fund,

Superannuation and Gratuity, which are charged to Revenue. The Employees are allowed the benefit of leave encashment as per

the rules of the Company, for which provision for accruing liability is made on actuarial valuation.

10. Misc. Expenditure (to the extent not written off or adjusted)

i) Advertisement and Sales Promotion: (Incurred upto 31.03.2003): Considering the anticipated future benefits, this is amortised

over a period of five years.

ii) Share issue expenses: This is amortised over a period of ten years. The write off is charged to Share Premium Account.

F-17


11. Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of the transaction. The outstanding

liabilities/receivables are translated at the year end rates or forward rate. The resultant gain or loss are adjusted to the Profit &

Loss Account.

12. Derivative Transactions

These transactions have been undertaken to hedge the cost of borrowing and comprise of principal/interest rate swaps. The

income/expenses are recognised when earned/incurred.

13. Research and Development

Fixed assets used for Research and Development are depreciated in the same manner as in the case of similar assets; the revenue

expenses are charged off in the year of incurrance.

9. The Company, while considering the acquisition of the (balance) shares of Whytehall India Ltd. (WIL), held by American

Beverages (Mauritius) Ltd. (ABM), has taken a view that it would be essential to terminate the agreement dated 16.04.2001

entered into between WIL and Bacardi Martini-India Ltd. (BMIL) an associate of ABM. The agreement provided for BMIL to

carryout sales, marketing and allied activities on behalf of WIL for a period of 10 years on payment of an annual charge. In the

opinion of the management, the Company would not be benefited without such a termination as it was integral to the acquisition of

shares. The termination agreement provided for compensation of Rs. 452.30 lacs, which has been borne by the Company and was

treated as part of acquisition cost.

The Company has not yet been informed of the substance of the allegations against it nor evidence upon which they are based and

is therefore not in a position to ascertain the possible liability on account of this action and that the Company is not aware of any

wrong doing.

18 Previous year figures have been re-grouped, wherever necessary, to correspond to current year figures.

3.1 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIALS LIABILITIES

The Group renegotiated its terms of debts with some of the lenders in 2001 and got some of its interest bearing debts converted

into interest free debenture. Under Indian GAAP these debts are carried at their original values reduced by repayments over the

period.

On transition to IFRS, accounting of debt restructuring was done on the principles of IAS 39 Ì "Financial Instrument:

Recognition and Measurement' ("IAS 39'). As per IAS 39, financial liabilities which have been exchanged or modified for another

financial liability with substantially different terms should be accounted as an extinguishment of the old liability and availment of a

new liability. The terms are considered substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new

terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, is at least 10 percent different from discounted present value of the

remaining cash flows of the original liability. In such cases IAS, 39 require existing liability to be written back and new liability to

be accounted for at its fair value. Fair valuation is done by discounting the cash flows under the new scheme with the market

interest rates applicable to the Group at the time of transaction. Market rate applicable to the Group for similar borrowings was

around 15 percent in the year 2001 and accordingly, restructured liability was fair valued by discounting the cash flow at

F-111


15 percent. Difference between fair value of new liability and carrying value of original liability is treated as an income on

restructuring and is recognised in the year of restructuring. From then onwards, interest is accrued on the new liability using the

rate used for determination of fair value, i.e. 15 percent.

3.2 PROPOSED DIVIDEND

In preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Indian GAAP, the Group provided for proposed dividend and tax

thereon to comply with the schedule VI requirements of the Companies Act, 1956.

On transition to IFRS, proposed dividend is recognised based on the recognition principles of IAS 37 Ì "Provisions, Contingent

Liabilities and Contingent Assets' ("IAS 37'). Considering that the dividend has been proposed after the balance sheet date and

becomes payable only after approval by the shareholders, there is no present obligation to pay this dividend as at the balance sheet

date. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend and tax thereon has been reversed.

3.3 REVALUATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTS

Under Indian GAAP, the Group had restated some of its land, building and plant to their fair values in year ended March 31,

1986, March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1999. This revaluation resulted into gain to the Group which was credited to revaluation

reserve. Thereafter, depreciation is provided on this assets based on their restated values and an amount, in the proportion of

depreciation, is transferred from revaluation reserve to income statement in a manner that depreciation charge in each year

remains equivalent to depreciation on the original cost of assets.

In accordance with IAS 16 Ì "Property, Plant and Equipment', if any property, plant or equipment is carried at fair value, its

revaluation should be frequent enough to keep its book value close to its present fair value. Since no further revaluation was done

by the Group subsequent to first revaluation, the Group has reversed the revaluation carried out under Indian GAAP and also,

resultant adjustments in further years, on transition to IFRS.

3.4 ACCOUNTING OF INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

Under Indian GAAPs, the Group's investments in associates are treated as non-current investments and are carried at cost unless

there is a permanent diminution in value of the investment. For permanent diminution in value, provision for loss is made in the

books and the same is shown separately as deduction from the book values of investments.

On transition to IFRS, as per the requirements of IAS 28 Ì "Investment in Associate', investments in associates are accounted for

on the basis of equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and the

carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of

acquisition. The investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee is recognized in the investor's income statement. Distributions

received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be

necessary for changes in the investor's proportionate interest in the investee arising from changes in the investee's equity that have

not been recognized in the investee's profit or loss. Such changes include those arising from the revaluation of property, plant and

equipment and from foreign exchange translation differences. The investor's share of those changes is recognized directly in equity

of the investor.

3.5 DEFERRED REVENUE EXPENDITURE

Under Indian GAAP, the Group has deferred some advertisement expenses and expenses incurred for issue of share capital.

Deferred advertisement expenses are charged to income statement over the period of 5 years. Share issue expenses are adjusted

against additional paid in capital over 10 years.

On transition to IFRS, advertisement expenses and share issue expenses are charged to income statement and adjusted against the

additional paid in capital respectively in the year in which they were incurred.

3.6 ESTIMATION OF USEFUL LIFE AND METHOD OF DEPRECIATION/AMORTISATION

Under Indian GAAP, the Group follows rates of depreciation prescribed by the Companies Act 1956, which represent the

minimum rates of depreciation and does not consider the management's estimate of economic useful life of assets.

IFRS requires assets to be depreciated according to its useful life.

Comparison of useful life adopted under IFRS and Indian GAAP is presented hereunder:

Life based on rates Estimated useful lifeused in Indian GAAP considered for IFRS

F-112


3.7 CHARGES PAID FOR RAISING LONG TERM BORROWINGS

Under Indian GAAP, expenses incurred by the Group for raising long term borrowings are charged to income statements in the

year of payment. For borrowings raised specifically for construction of fixed assets, the entire amount is immediately added to the

cost of that fixed asset.

On transition to IFRS, expenses incurred on raising long term borrowings are amortised and charged over the life of the loan in a

manner that the effective interest rate of the respective loan remains constant over the period of the same. For borrowings

specifically raised for construction of fixed assets, amount amortised during the construction period is included in the cost of fixed

assets.

3.8 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FORWARD CONTRACTS

The Group enters into forward contracts to cover the foreign exchange fluctuations on some of its foreign currency transactions.

Under Indian GAAP, the Group accounts for loss/gain on forward contracts outstanding on the balance sheet using spot rate

applicable on that date.

On transition to IFRS, as per IAS 39, forward contracts are classified into effective hedge and non-effective hedge and forward

contracts falling with the category of non-effective hedge are accounted for at market values applicable at the reporting date. Since

forward contracts of the Group fall within the category of non-effective hedge as per the guidance given in IAS 39, forward

contracts outstanding on reporting dates have been marked to market and the gains/losses are recorded in the income statement.

3.9 BUSINESS COMBINATION

During the year ended March 31, 2005 the Company acquired balance of shares in Whytehall India Limited (WIL) on June 14,

2004 and entire shareholding of Anab-e-shahi Wines & Distilleries Private Limited (AES) on April 1, 2004 thereby making them

wholly owned subsidiaries. These companies were later on merged with the Group with effect from April 1, 2004. Under Indian

GAAP, sum of consideration paid, expenses incurred for acquisition and cost of share earlier acquired in WIL by the Company

was taken as total consideration for the acquisition. Accordingly the difference between total consideration and net fair value of

assets and liabilities was recorded as Goodwill. The Company did not value deferred tax assets/liabilities relating to the acquired

companies at the time of acquisition. Further, a part of debt due to American Beverages (Mauritius) Limited, existing

shareholders of the WIL, which, was waived off as a part of acquisition arrangement was also considered as liability taken over.

Waiver was subsequently recorded as other income in the financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP.

Goodwill recorded in the financial statement is amortised under Indian GAAP over a period of 20 years.

On transition to IFRS the acquisition was accounted in accordance with IFRS 3 Ì Business Combination. As per IFRS 3,

goodwill or gain arising on acquisition is computed separately for each acquisition and any adjustment in the fair values relating to

previously acquired interest is recorded as revaluation. Goodwill/gain on acquisition is a difference between consideration paid and

proportionate share in net fair values of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Identifiable assets and liabilities

include deferred tax assets/liabilities and do not include debt not taken over or waived as a part of acquisition arrangement.

Goodwill arising on the transaction is not amortised and is tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there are

indication of impairments. Gain arising on acquisition is taken to the income statement in the year of acquisition. Refer Note B for

details on accounting of acquisition done in these consolidated financial statements.

3.10 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The retirement benefits as per Indian GAAP are recognised on the basis of a valuation by a qualified actuary. The Group carries

out an actuarial valuation for compensated absences only for the encashable portion of the leave.

On transition to IFRS, the liabilities for employee benefits were determined as per IAS 19 Ì "Employee benefits'. Further, the

liability in respect of all compensated absences was recognized.

3.11 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF INVESTMENT HELD UNDER ""AVAILABLE FOR SALE'' CATEGORY

Under Indian GAAPs, all current investments are carried at cost or market value whichever is lower. Non current investments are

carried at cost unless there is a permanent diminution in the values.

On transition to IFRS, as per the requirements of IAS 39, the available for sale investments have been marked to market and the

resultant fair value gain or loss is recognised in income statement of the year.

3.12 DEFERRED TAX

On application of IFRS the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities have changed, and hence the deferred tax liability has also

changed.

F-113


4. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as

follows:

4.1 OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except that certain financial assets and

liabilities are stated at fair value. The measurement basis is more fully described in the accounting policies below.

It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately

differ from those estimates. Estimates of life of various tangible assets, assumptions used for valuation of employee related

obligations and realisation of deferred tax assets represent certain of the significant judgments and estimates made by

management.

4.2 CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of Radico incorporate the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiary.

Subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to control its financial and operating policies. Radico obtains and

exercises control through voting rights.

Entities in which the Group has majority ownership interest either directly or through agreement with other investors are not

consolidated if the Group does not control the financial and operating policies of such entities.

Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are neither subsidiaries nor

interests in a joint venture. Investments in associates are initially recognised at cost and subsequently accounted for using the

equity method. Acquired investments in associates are also subject to purchase accounting. However, any goodwill or fair value

adjustment attributable to the share in the associate is included in the amount recognised as investment in associates.

Investments in associates are classified as long-term assets. The carrying amount of the investments is increased or decreased to

recognise the Group's share of the profits or losses of the associate after the date of acquisition. Distributions received from the

associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Such investments are tested for impairment at each reporting date.

Items that have been directly recognised in the associate's equity, for example, resulting from the associate's accounting for

available-for sale securities, are recognised in equity of the Company.

4.3 FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The financial statements are presented in INR, which is the functional currency of the Company, being the currency of the

primary economic environment in which it operates.

In the separate financial statements of the consolidated entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional

currency of the individual entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign

exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of remaining balances at

year-end exchange rates are recognised in the income statement under ""other income'' or ""other expenses'', respectively.

In the consolidated financial statements, separate financial statements of subsidiary, originally presented in a currency different

from the Group's presentation currency, have been converted into INR. Assets, liabilities and expenses have been translated into

INR at an approximate average rate during the year. Any differences arising from this procedure have been charged/(credited) to

the ""Cumulative Currency Translation Reserve'' in equity.

4.4 REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from sale of products is recorded net of trade discounts, rebates and applicable taxes and is recognized when significant

risks and rewards in respect of ownership of products are transferred to the customer, generally on shipment of products.

Domestic sales are recognized on at the time of dispatch from the distributor's or other intermediate party's premises. Export

revenues are recognized on the basis of the dispatch details received from the port along with the copy of bill of lading.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable. Dividend

income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.

4.5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of expenditure incurred by the Group on acquisition of brands and software. Cost of brands and software

are charged to income statements under the head "Depreciation and Amortization' on a straight line basis over the period of

20 years and 6 years respectively.

F-114


4.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Direct costs

are capitalised until the assets are ready for use and include inward freight, duties, taxes and expenses incidental to acquisition and

installation.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is charged to income on a systematic basis over the useful life of assets as estimated

by the management, on a pro-rata basis. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method of depreciation. The useful life of

property, plant and equipment is reviewed periodically and, wherever a change is made to the estimates of useful life of an asset,

the depreciation charge is adjusted prospectively. The useful lives estimated by the management for depreciation of the assets are

as under:

Cost of leasehold lands and leasehold improvements is charged to income statement under the head "Depreciation and

Amortization' on a straight line basis over the period of lease agreement.

Advances paid for the acquisition/construction of property, plant and equipment outstanding at the balance sheet date and the cost

of property, plant and equipment not put to use before such date are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress'.

4.7 IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The Group's intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are subject to impairment testing.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash

flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-

generating unit level.

Individual assets or cash-generating units that include intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or those not yet available for

use are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment

whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its

recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell and value in

use, based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. Impairment losses recognised for cash-generating units, to which

goodwill has been allocated, are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged

pro rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for

indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.

4.8 GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities

of acquired businesses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever there are indications of impairment and is carried

at cost less impairment losses.

4.9 GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants which are provided as assistance for acquisition of a particular assets or group of assets and which can be

allocated towards those assets, are recognised as a reduction from the cost of such assets.

4.10 FINANCIAL ASSETS

Group's financial assets include cash and financial instruments. Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided

into the following categories: loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

and available-for-sale investments. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition,

depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every

reporting date at which a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available.

F-115


De-recognition of financial instruments occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred

and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken at

least at each balance sheet date whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is

impaired.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active

market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the

receivables. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision

for impairment. Any change in their value is recognized in the income statement.

Trade receivables are provided against when objective evidence is received that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts

due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables.

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed date of maturity.

Investments are classified as held-to maturity if it is the intention of the Group's management to hold them until maturity. Held-

to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. In addition, if there is

objective evidence that the investment has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated cash

flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment are recognized in the income statement.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are either classified as held for trading or are

designated by the entity to be carried at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. In addition, derivative financial

instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are classified as held for trading.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial assets included in this category are measured at fair value with changes in fair value

recognized in the income statement. Financial assets originally designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

may not subsequently be reclassified.

Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets that are either designated to this category or do not

qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. All financial assets within this category are subsequently

measured at fair value, unless otherwise disclosed, with changes in value recognized in the income statement of the year.

4.11 ACCOUNTING FOR HEDGING ACTIVITIES

If there is a designated hedging relationship between a derivative financial instruments and a hedged item, IAS 39 requires a

specific treatment to account for the hedging activity as described below. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship

must meet several strict conditions with respect to documentation, probability of occurrence, hedge effectiveness and reliability of

measurement. All other derivative financial instruments are classified as financial assets held for trading (see note 4.9 above).

Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and are re-measured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as cash flow hedges are recognized

directly in equity. Amounts deferred in equity are recognized in the income statement in the same period in which the hedged firm

commitments or forecasted transaction affects net profit or loss.

There are three kinds of hedging relationships:

‚ cash flow hedge

‚ fair value hedge

‚ hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Cash flow hedges secure the Group against variability in future cash flows that could affect profit or loss. Changes in the carrying

amount of cash flow hedges are charged to equity. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the income statement in the

periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. When the hedged transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset

or a liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement

of the cost of the asset or liability.

When a cash flow hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any

cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is

ultimately recognized in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or

loss reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.

The Group currently does not hold any financial instrument that qualifies for fair value hedging nor for hedging a net investment in

a foreign entity.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the income

statement as they arise.

F-116


4.12 INVENTORIES

Inventories comprise raw materials, stores, spares, packing materials and loose tools, work in progress and finished goods. At the

balance sheet date, inventories are carried at the lower of cost, computed on weighted average basis, and net realisable value. In

case of raw materials and consumables the cost includes duties and taxes, freight inward, handling and other costs directly

attributable to the acquisition. Cost of finished product includes the cost of raw materials, consumables, direct labour and those

overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of finished goods does

not include excise duty which is a levy on manufacturing in India. As per the applicable laws, though this excise duty is a levy on

manufacturing, it is required to be paid at the time of removal of goods from the factory. Wastes and by products derived in the

manufacturing process are valued at their net realisable value.

4.13 BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that

necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until

such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment

of specific borrowing pending its expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the cost of these assets.

All other borrowing costs including transaction costs are recognized in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred,

the amount being determined using the effective interest rate method.

4.14 ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current

or prior reporting period that are unpaid at the balance sheet date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws

applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or

liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in the income statement.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the

carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements with the tax base. Tax losses available to be carried forward as

well as other income tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they

will be offset against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that

are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance

sheet date.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in the income statement. Only

changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value of assets or liabilities that is charged directly to equity

are charged or credited directly to equity.

4.15 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at bank in current and deposit accounts.

4.16 LEASING ACTIVITIES

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership

to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The

corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Finance costs, which represent the

difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are charged to the income statement

over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations

for each accounting period.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

4.17 EQUITY

Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Any discount given on the issue of shares is shown as a deduction from the retained earnings. Retained earnings include all current

and prior period results as disclosed in the income statement. Expenses incurred for the issue of share capital are reduced from the

additional paid in capital.

F-117


4.18 RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Employee benefits are provided through a defined benefit plan as well as certain defined contribution plans.

The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan, which defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive

on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and remuneration. The legal obligation for

any benefits from this kind of plan remains with the Group, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been

acquired.

The Group also provides for provident fund benefit and super annuation benefit, which are defined contribution plan, under which

the Group pays fixed contributions into an independent entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further

contributions after payment of the fixed contribution.

The liability recognised in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation ("DBO')

at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and

past service costs. The DBO is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present

value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate

bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the

terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as an income or expense in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are

recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the changes to the plan are conditional on the employees remaining in

service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis

over the vesting period.

The contributions recognised in respect of defined contribution plans are expensed as they fall due. Liabilities and assets may be

recognised if underpayment or prepayment has occurred and are included in current liabilities or current assets as they are

normally of a short term nature.

Short-term employee benefits are recognised for the number of paid leave days (usually holiday entitlement) remaining at the

balance sheet date. They are included in current pension and other employee obligations at the undiscounted amount that the

Group expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement. Paid leave days which are likely to be encashed at the time of

retirement are valued at the rates at which they are estimated to be paid out, and the present value of the same is included under

'Long term Employee obligations'.

4.19 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The Group's financial liabilities include bank loans and overdrafts, deposits from customers and trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest

related charges is recognized as an expense in ""finance cost'' in the income statement.

Trade payables are recognized initially at their nominal value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less settlement

payments.

Dividend distributions to shareholders are included in 'Other current liabilities' when the dividends are approved by the

shareholders' meeting.

Financial liabilities that have been exchanged or modified for another financial liability with substantially different terms have

been accounted as an extinguishment of the old debt and availment of a new debt. The terms are considered substantially different

if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, is at least

10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original debt instrument. Any cost or

fees incurred on the extinguishment of the financial liability are recognized as part of the loss on the extinguishment of the debt

under the head financial expenses. If the exchange or modification of the financial liability is not accounted for as an

extinguishment of the debt then any costs or fees incurred for the adjustment to the carrying amount or terms of the liability are

deferred in the year of payment and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified loan using the effective interest

method.

4.20 OTHER PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Other provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Group

and they can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the

presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events.

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or

remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the balance sheet.

5. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Company has a subsidiary named Radico Global Limited which has been consolidated in these financial statements. The

subsidiary company is incorporated in October 2005 in Dubai and Radico holds 100% of the voting power of the subsidiary as at

March 31, 2006.

The Company had 48 percent investment in the erstwhile Whitehall India Limited, which was merged with the Company with

effect from April 1, 2004. Whitehall India Limited was treated as an associate of the Company till the above mentioned date of

merger.

NOTE B Ì BUSINESS COMBINATION

During the year ended March 31, 2005 the Company acquired balance of shares in Whytehall India Limited (WIL) on June 14, 2004 and

entire shareholding of Aneb-e-shahi Wines & Distilleries Private Limited (AES) on April 1, 2004 thereby making them wholly owned

subsidiaries. A scheme of amalgamation filed by the Company alongwith WIL and AES in the respective jurisdictional High courts were

approved on September 14, 2005 with appointed date of amalgamation being April 1, 2004. These acquisitions are accounted in

accordance with IFRS Ì 3 ""Business Combination''.

Cost of acquisitions

Consideration paid by the Company for above acquisitions is as under:

Gain on acquisition of WIL

First acquisition of 48 percent in the year ended March 2002

The Company acquired 48 percent in WIL in the year ended March 31, 2002. WIL was treated as an associate till second acquisition and

accordingly proportionate share of losses of WIL were reduced from the value of investments. Carrying value of investments as at April 1,

2004 was Nil as the share of losses exceeded cost of investments. Since all identifiable assets and liabilities have been recorded on their

fair value on second acquisition resulting into business combination, the increase in the previously held share amounting to

INR 147.56 million is recorded as a revaluation gain. However, since this revaluation arises on the initial recognition by the Company of

the WIL's assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, it does not signify that the Company has elected to apply an accounting policy of

revaluing those items after initial recognition as per IAS 16 Ì Property, Plant and Equipment.

Second acquisition of 52 percent in the year ended March 2005

The excess of 52 percent of net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over consideration paid, amounting to

INR 49.58 million is taken to Income statement of the year and is shown on the face of income statement under the head ""Gain on

business combination''.

Goodwill recorded on Business Combination of AES

Excess of consideration paid for acquisition of AES over net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities amounting

to INR 52.88 million is recorded as Goodwill in the books of the Company in accordance with IFRS Ì 3 Business Combination.

Net deferred income tax liabilityÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 205.05 179.19 153.16

In assessing the realisability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or

all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the

generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible.

NOTE Y Ì RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest risk and price risk),

credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest-rate risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability

of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative

financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

The group's finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with

respect to the US dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities are

denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial

transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. To manage their foreign exchange risk

arising from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities, Group use forward contracts and other currency

swaps. The Group also strides to maintain minimum credit period for foreign exchange denominated recognized assets.

F-130


ii) Price risk

The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk and equity securities prices risk.

(b) Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. It has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to

customers with an appropriate credit history.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding

through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature

of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

(d) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent

of changes in market interest rates.

The Group's interest-rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to cash

flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest-rate risk. To maintain risk Group

uses appropriate mix of fixed and variable interest rate borrowings.

APPENDIX A: INDIAN SECURITIES MARKET

The information in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents from varioussources, including officially prepared materials from the Securities and Exchange Board of India and the BSEand the NSE and has not been prepared or independently verified by the Company or the Manager or any oftheir respective affiliates or advisors.

The Indian Securities Market

India has a long history of organised securities trading. In 1875, the first stock exchange was

established in Mumbai.

Stock Exchange Regulations

India's stock exchanges are regulated primarily by SEBI, as well as by the Government of India

under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956 (the ""SCRA'') and the Securities Contracts

(Regulation) Rules 1957. The Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules 1957 along with the rules, by-laws

and regulations of the respective stock exchanges, regulate the recognition of stock exchanges, the qualifica-

tions for membership thereof and the manner in which contracts are entered into and enforced between

members.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India Act 1992 (the ""SEBI Act'') provided for the

establishment of the SEBI to protect the interests of investors in securities and to promote the development of,

and to regulate, the securities market and for matters connected therewith or incidental hereto. SEBI Act

granted powers to SEBI to, among other things, regulate the Indian securities market, including stock

exchanges and other intermediaries in the capital market, to promote and monitor self regulatory organisa-

tions, to prohibit fraudulent and unfair trade practices and insider trading, to regulate substantial acquisitions

of shares and takeovers of companies, to call for information, to undertake inspections and conduct inquiries

and audits of stock exchanges, self regulatory organisations, intermediaries and other persons associated with

the securities market.

SEBI also issues guidelines and regulations concerning minimum disclosure requirements by public

companies, rules and regulations concerning investor protection, insider trading, substantial acquisition of

shares and takeovers of companies, buy back of securities, delisting of securities, employees stock option

schemes, stock brokers, merchant bankers, underwriters, mutual fund, foreign institutional investors (""FIIs''),

credit rating agencies and other capital market participants.

The Central Listing Authority (the ""CLA'') has been set up by SEBI to address the issue of multiple

listing of the same security at various stock exchange and to bring about uniformity in the due diligence

exercise in scrutinising all listing applications on any stock exchange. The functions of the CLA as enumerated

in SEBI (Central Listing Authority) Regulations 2003 are to receive and process applications for letter

precedent to listing from applicants and issue, if it deems fit, a letter precedent to listing to any such applicant,

to make recommendations to the SEBI on issues pertaining to the protection of the interest of the investors in

securities and development and regulation of the securities market, including the listing agreements, listing

conditions and disclosures to be made in the offer documents and to undertake any other functions as may be

delegated to it by the SEBI from time to time.

Listing

The listing of securities on a recognised Indian stock exchange is regulated by the Companies Act,

the SCRA, the Securities Contract (Regulations) Rules, 1957 and the listing agreements of the respective

stock exchanges (the ""Listing Agreement''). Under the standard terms of the Listing Agreement, the

governing body of each stock exchange is empowered to suspend trading of or dealing in a listed security for

breach of the Company's obligations under such agreement, subject to the Company receiving prior notice of

the intent of the exchange. The SEBI has power to amend the terms of the Listing Agreement and direct the

stock exchanges to amend their by-laws.

A-1


A listed company can be de-listed under the provisions of the SEBI (Delisting of Securities)

Guidelines 2003, which govern voluntary and compulsory delisting of shares of Indian companies from the

stock exchanges. A company may be de-listed through a voluntary delisting sought by the promoters of the

said company or a compulsory delisting by the stock exchange due to any acquisition of shares of the said

company (by the promoter or another person) or scheme of arrangement, or consolidation of holdings by the

person in control pursuant to which the public shareholding in the company falls below the minimum limit

specified in the listing conditions or in this listing agreement. A company may voluntarily de-list from the

stock exchange where its securities are listed provided that an exit opportunity has been given to the investors

at an exit price determined in accordance with a specified formula. The procedure for compulsory delisting

also requires the company to make an exit offer to the shareholders in accordance with the above mentioned

guidelines.

Pursuant to a recent circular dated April 13, 2006, the SEBI has made certain amendments to inter

alia the provisions of Clause 40(A) of the Listing Agreement. As per the provisions of the said circular, all

listed companies, other than (a) companies which, at the time of initial listing, had offered less than 25% but

not less than 10% of the total number of issued shares of a class or kind, or companies desiring to list their

shares by making an initial public offering of at least 10%; and (b) companies which have, irrespective of the

percentage of their shares with public at the time of initial listing, reached a size of twenty million or more in

terms of number of listed shares and Rupees ten thousand million or more in terms of market capitalization;

are required to ensure minimum level of public shareholding at 25% of the total number of issued shares of a

class or kind for the purpose of continuous listing. The companies at (a) and (b) above would be required to

maintain the minimum level of public shareholding at 10% of the total number of issued shares of a class or

kind for the purpose of continuous listing. The provisions of this circular are not applicable to government

companies, infrastructure companies, and companies that are pending reference before the Board for

Industrial and Financial Reconstruction.

In order to restrict abnormal price volatility in any particular stock, the SEBI has instructed stock

exchanges to apply daily circuit breakers which do not allow transactions beyond certain price volatility. The

index-based market-wide circuit breaker system applies at three stages of the index movement, at 10%, 15%

and 20%. These circuit breakers, when triggered, bring about a co-ordinated trading halt in all equity and

equity derivative markets nationwide. The market-wide circuit breakers are triggered by movement of either

the Sensex, the BSE or the NSE, whichever is breached earlier.

In addition to the market wide index-based circuit breakers, there are currently in place varying

individual scrip wise price bands. However, no price bands are applicable on scrips on which derivative

products are available or scrips included in indices on which derivative products are available. The stock

exchanges in India can also exercise the power to suspend trading during periods of market volatility. The

Issuer is also subject to daily circuit breakers imposed by the BSE and the NSE which dos not allow

transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of the Company's Shares. These circuit breakers operate

independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by the SEBI on Indian stock

exchanges. The percentage limit on the Company's circuit breakers are set by the BSE and the NSE based on

the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Issuer's Shares. The BSE and the NSE do not

inform the Issuer of the percentage limit of the circuit breakers from time to time, and may change them

without the Issuer's knowledge. The Issuer believes they are currently set at 5%, such that bid and ask prices

for the Issuer's Shares are only permitted to be within a band of 5% above or below the Share price at the

opening of any trading day. These circuit breakers effectively limit the upward and downward movements in

the price of the Issuer's Shares.

Disclosures under the Companies Act and Securities Regulations

All companies, including public limited companies are required under the Companies Act to prepare,

file with the Registrar of Companies and circulate to their shareholders audited annual accounts, which

comply with the Companies Act's disclosure requirements. In addition, a listed company is subject to

continuing disclosure requirements pursuant to the terms of its listing agreement with the relevant stock

exchange and SEBI regulatory requirements. The companies are also required to publish unaudited financial

A-2


statements (albeit subject to a limited review by the company's auditors), on a quarterly basis and are required

to inform stock exchanges immediately regarding any stock price sensitive information.

Indian Stock Exchanges

There are now 23 stock exchanges in India. Most of the stock exchanges have their governing board

for self-regulation. The BSE and the NSE hold prominent positions among the stock exchanges in terms of

number of listed companies, market capitalisation and trading activity.

BSE

The BSE is one of the Issuer's stock exchanges in India. Established in 1875, it is the oldest stock

exchange in India. It is the first stock exchange in India to have obtained permanent recognition in 1956 from

the Government of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. It has evolved over the years

into its present status as the premier stock exchange of India. Recently, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatisation

and Demutualisation) Scheme 2005 of the SEBI, with effect from 20 August 2005 the BSE has been

corporatised and demutualised and is now a company under the Companies Act, 1956.

The BSE has switched over to an on-line trading network since May 1995 and has today expanded

this network to over 400 cities in India. As at 31 March 2006, the BSE had 874 members, comprising

180 individual members, 675 Indian companies and 19 foreign institutional investors. Only a member of the

BSE has the right to trade in stocks listed on the BSE. As at 31 March 2006, there were 4,781 listed

companies whose securities were trading on the BSE. The average daily turnover of the BSE was

Rs.53.98 billion (US$1.21 million) in March 2006. The market capitalisation of the BSE was approximately

Rs.30.22 trillion (US$0.68 trillion) as at 31 March 2006.

NSE

The NSE is one of the Issuer's stock exchanges in India. It was established by financial institutions

and banks to provide nationwide on-line satellite-linked screen-based trading facilities with market makers

and electronic clearing and settlement for securities including government securities, debentures, public sector

bonds and units. On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956

in April 1993, the NSE commenced operations in the wholesale debt market segment in June 1994 and

operations in the derivatives segment commenced in June 2000. NSE trading terminals are now situated in

365 cities across India. The NSE had 1069 trading members as at 31 March 2006. The market capitalisation

(capital market) of the NSE was approximately Rs.28.13 trillion (US$0.63 billion) as at 31 March 2006.

Takeover Code

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers)

Regulations 1997 (the ""Takeover Code'') prescribes certain thresholds or trigger points that give rise to

certain obligations under the Takeover Code. The Takeover Code requires disclosures of the aggregate

shareholding or voting rights in a company to be made by any acquirer who acquires shares or voting rights

which (taken together with shares or voting rights, if any, held by him) entitles him to more than 5% or 10%

or 14% or 54% or 74% of the shares or voting rights in that company. The Takeover Code also requires (unless

specifically exempted) the making of a public announcement to acquire, generally speaking, a minimum of

20% of voting capital of a company in the following cases:

‚ Any acquirer who along with persons acting in concert with him, acquires or agrees to acquire 15% or

more of the voting rights in the company.

‚ Any acquirer who, together with persons acting in concert with him, has acquired, in accordance with

the provisions of law, 15% or more, but less than 55% of the shares or voting rights in the shares of the

company and who acquires additional shares or voting rights entitling him to exercise more than 5%

of the voting rights in any financial year ending 31 March.

A-3


‚ Any acquirer who, together with persons acting in concert with him, has acquired, in accordance with

the provisions of law, 55% or more but less than 75% of the shares or voting rights in the shares of the

company and who acquires any additional share or voting rights. (Provided that in a case where the

company had obtained listing of its shares by making an offer of at least 10% of issue size to the

public in terms of clause (b) of sub-rule (2) of rule 19 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation)

Rules, 1957, or in terms of any relaxation granted from strict enforcement of the said rule, the figures

75% in the foregoing sentense, shall be substituted by 90%).

‚ Any acquirer who acquires control over the company (directly or indirectly), irrespective of whether

there has been any acquisition of shares or voting rights in the company.

Further, any acquirer who seeks to acquire any shares or voting rights in a company whereby the

public shareholding in the said company may be reduced to a level below the limit specified in the listing

agreement entered into by the company with the stock exchange on which its securities are listed, is permitted

to acquire such shares or voting rights only upon making a delisting offer to the shareholders of the company in

accordance with the regulations governing delisting of securities of Indian companies.

Insider Trading Regulations

The SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations 1992, or the Insider Trading Regulations,

have been notified by SEBI to prohibit and penalise insider trading in India. The Insider Trading Regulations

prohibit insider' dealings in the securities of a company on the basis of ""unpublished price sensitive

information,'' communication of such information or the counsel or procurement of any other person to deal in

securities on the basis of such information. The Insider Trading Regulations require any person who holds

more than 5% shares or voting rights in any listed company to disclose to the company, the number of shares

or voting rights held by such person and any change in the shareholding or voting rights, on becoming such

holder, within 4 working days of:

‚ the receipt of intimation of allotment of shares; or

‚ the acquisition or the sale of the shares or voting rights, as the case may be.

On a continuing basis, any person who holds more than 5% shares or voting rights in any listed

company is required to disclose to the company, the number of shares or voting rights held by him and change

in shareholding or voting rights, even if such change results in shareholding falling below 5%, if there has been

change in such holdings from the last disclosure made, provided such change exceeds 2% of total shareholding

or voting rights in the company. Such disclosure is required to be made within four working days of:

‚ the receipt of intimation of allotment of shares; or

‚ the acquisition or sale of shares or voting rights, as the case may be.

The Insider Trading Regulations make it compulsory for listed companies and certain other entities

associated with the securities market to establish an internal code of conduct to prevent insider trading deals

and also to regulate disclosure of unpublished price-sensitive information within such entities so as to

minimise misuse thereof. To this end, the Insider Trading Regulations provide a model code of conduct.

Further, the Insider Trading Regulations specify a model code of corporate disclosure practices to prevent

insider trading, which is to be implemented by all listed companies and other such entities.

Depositories

In August 1996, the Indian Parliament enacted the Depositories Act 1996 which provides a legal

framework for the establishment of depositories to record ownership details and effectuate transfers in book-

entry form. The SEBI framed the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Depositories and Participants)

Regulations 1996 which provide for, among other things, the registration of depositories and participants, the

rights and obligations of the depositories, participants, the issuer companies and the beneficial owners,

creation of pledge of securities held in dematerialised form, and procedure for de-materialisation of shares

held in physical form.

A-4


The depository system has significantly improved the operations of the Indian securities markets.

Trading of securities in book-entry form commenced towards the end of 1996. In January 1998, the SEBI

notified scrips of various companies for compulsory dematerialised trading by certain categories of investors

such as foreign institutional investors and other institutional investors. The SEBI has subsequently signifi-

cantly increased the number of scrips in which dematerialised trading is compulsory for all investors. The

SEBI (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines 2000 provide that no company shall make a public or

rights issue or an offer for sale of securities unless the company enters into an agreement with a depository for

de-materialisation of securities already issued or proposed to be issued to the public or existing shareholders

and the company gives an option to subscribers, shareholders or investors to receive the security certificates or

hold securities in dematerialised form with a depository.

The Companies Act provides that Indian companies making any initial public offerings of securities

for or in excess of Rs.100 million (US$2.3 million) should issue the securities in dematerialised form.

APPENDIX B: FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS

General

Prior to 1 June 2000, foreign investment in Indian securities was regulated by the Foreign Exchange

Regulation Act 1973 (""FERA'') and the notifications issued by the RBI thereunder. With effect from 1 June

2000, foreign investment in securities issued by Indian companies is regulated by the Foreign Exchange

Management Act 1999 (""FEMA'') and the rules, regulations and notifications made under FEMA.

The issue of the Bonds is primarily regulated by the Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and

Ordinary Shares (Through Depositary Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993, as amended (the ""FCCB

Scheme'') and the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of any Foreign Security) Regulations

2000, as amended (the ""Bond Regulations'') and circulars dated 1 July 2005 and 1 August 2005 (together,

the ""Circular'') where the policy for raising of external commercial borrowings by Indian corporates has been

extended to FCCBs in all respects.

The FCCB Scheme and the Bond Regulations read with the Circular provide that the issue of

FCCBs in principal amount greater than US$20 million and up to US$500 million or equivalent with a

minimum average maturity of five years is permissible under the automatic route in the manner set forth in

the FCCB Scheme and the Bond Regulations and the Circular, subject to compliance with certain conditions

specified therein.

The issue and transfer of the Shares upon conversion of the Bonds is primarily regulated by the

Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident Outside India)

Regulations 2000, as amended (the ""Regulations'').

Foreign Direct Investment

The Government of India, pursuant to its liberalisation policy, set up the Foreign Investment

Promotion Board (""FIPB'') to regulate all foreign direct investment into India. Foreign direct investment

means investment by way of subscription and/or purchase of securities of an Indian company by a non

resident investor (""Foreign Direct Investment'' or ""FDI''). FIPB approval is required for investment in

certain notified sectors. In addition, the following investments would require the prior permission of the FIPB:

‚ investments in excess of specified sectoral caps or in sectors in which FDI is not permitted or in

sectors which specifically require approval of the FIPB;

‚ investments by any foreign investor who has any existing joint venture or technology transfer or

trademark agreement in India in the same field as that in which the company in which the investment

is proposed to be made. However, no prior approval is required if: (a) the investor is a venture capital

fund registered with SEBI, or (b) in the existing joint venture, investment by either of the parties is

less than 3%, or (c) the existing joint venture or collaboration is defunct or sick;

‚ investment being more than 24% in the equity capital of units manufacturing items reserved for small

scale industries; and

‚ proposals where manufacturing activities requiring a licence under the Industries (Development and

Regulation) Act 1951 and proposed to be located outside a radius of 25 kms of the standard urban

area limits; and

‚ proposals for acquisition of shares in an existing Indian Company in the financial sector and where

SEBI's Takeover Code is applicable in cases where approvals are not required from the

RBI/Securities and Exchange Board of India/Insuance Regulatory and Development Authority.

The Government has indicated that in all cases where Foreign Direct Investment is allowed on an

automatic basis without FIPB approval the RBI would continue to be the primary agency for the purposes of

monitoring and regulating foreign investment. In cases where FIPB approval is obtained, no further approval

of the RBI is required. In both of the above cases, the prescribed applicable norms with respect to determining

B-1


the price at which shares may be issued by an Indian company to a non resident investor would need to be

complied with and a declaration in the prescribed form, detailing the foreign investment, is required to be filed

with the RBI once the foreign investment is made in the Indian company. The foregoing description applies

only to an issuance of shares by, and not to a transfer of shares of, Indian companies.

The Government of India has set up the Foreign Investment Implementation Authority (the

""FIIA'') in the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. The FIIA has been mandated to (i) translate

foreign direct investment approvals into implementation, (ii) provide a pro-active one stop after care service to

foreign investors by helping them obtain necessary approvals, (iii) deal with operational problems, and

(iv) meet with various Government of India agencies to find solutions to foreign investment problems, and

maximise opportunities through a partnership approach.

Investment by Foreign Institutional Investors

Pension funds, mutual funds, investment trusts, insurance or reinsurance companies, endowment

funds, university funds, foundation or charitable trusts or charitable societies who propose to invest on their

own behalf and asset management companies, nominee companies, institutional portfolio managers, trustees,

power of attorney holders, banks who propose to invest their proprietary funds or on behalf of ""broad based''

funds or on behalf of foreign corporate entities and individuals may register with the Securities and Exchange

Board (""SEBI'') as Foreign Institutional Investors (""Foreign Institutional Investors'' or ""FIIs'').

Foreign investors are not necessarily required to register with the SEBI as Foreign Institutional

Investors and may invest in securities of Indian companies pursuant to the Foreign Direct Investment route

discussed above. Foreign investors wishing to generally invest and trade in Indian securities in India as a

Foreign Institutional Investor are required to register with the SEBI and obtain a general permission from the

RBI. However, since the SEBI provides a single window clearance, a single application must be made to the

SEBI.

Foreign Institutional Investors who are registered with the SEBI are required to comply with the

provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Foreign Institutional Investors) Regulations 1995

(""Foreign Institutional Investor Regulations''). A registered Foreign Institutional Investor may, subject to the

pricing and ownership restrictions discussed below, buy and sell freely securities issued by any Indian

company, realise capital gains on investments made through the initial amount invested in India, appoint a

domestic custodian for custody of investments made and repatriate the capital, capital gains and dividends that

they may receive or make.

Subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Foreign Institutional Investor Regulations, a

registered Foreign Institutional Investor or a sub-account of a FII may buy or sell equity shares or debentures

of Indian companies (excluding companies engaged in the print media sector) through stock exchanges in

India at ruling market price and also buy or sell shares or debentures of listed or unlisted companies other than

on a stock exchange in compliance with the applicable SEBI/RBI pricing norms. A Foreign Institutional

Investor is not permitted to hold more than 10% of the total issued capital of an Indian company; a corporate

or individual sub-account of the Foreign Institutional Investor is not permitted to hold more than 5% of the

total issued capital of an Indian company, and a broad based fund or proprietary fund sub-account is not

permitted to hold more than 10% of the total issued capital of an Indian company. The total holding of all

Foreign Institutional Investors in an Indian company is subject to a cap of 24% of the total issued capital of the

company which may be increased up to the percentage of sectoral cap on FDI in respect of the said company

with the passing of a special resolution by the shareholders of the company in a general meeting.

Portfolio Investment by Non-Resident Indians

In addition to portfolio investments in Indian companies, Non-Resident Indians may also make

investments in Indian companies pursuant to the FDI route discussed above. The overseas corporate bodies at

least 60% of which are owned by Non-Resident Indians (""Overseas Corporate Bodies'') were earlier allowed

to invest by way of portfolio investment until 2001 when the RBI prohibited such investments. Further,

Overseas Corporate Bodies were no longer recognised as a class of investor entity in India with effect from

B-2


16 September 2003. In this connection, the RBI has issued directions to the authorised dealers in terms of

A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 14 dated 16 September 2003 and has notified the Foreign Exchange

Management (Withdrawal of General Permission to Overseas Corporate Bodies) Regulations 2003, by

Notification No. FEMA 101/2003-RB dated 3 October 2003. However, it has clarified that the entities owned

by Non-Resident Indians (which were formerly classified as Overseas Corporate Bodies) would continue to

enjoy all the facilities available to other foreign investors.

Transfer of Shares of an Indian Company by a person Resident outside India

Subject to what is stated below, a person resident outside India may transfer the shares held by him in

Indian companies in accordance with the Regulations. A person resident outside India, not being a Non-

Resident Indian, is generally permitted to transfer by way of sale the shares held by him to any other person

resident outside India without the prior approval of the RBI. However, FIPB approval is required if the person

acquiring the shares has a previous venture or tie-up in India in the same field in which the company whose

shares are being transferred is engaged. A Non-Resident Indian is generally permitted to transfer by way of

sale the shares held by him to another Non-Resident Indian without the prior approval of the RBI. However,

FIPB approval is required if the person acquiring the shares has a previous venture or tie-up in India in the

same field in which the company whose shares are being transferred is engaged.

Further, the RBI has recently granted, by Master Circular No. 05/2005-06 dated 1 July 2005, general

permission for the transfer of shares by a person resident outside India to a person resident in India, subject to

compliance with certain terms, conditions and reporting requirements.
