2. For the purpose of consolidated financials the net result of the insurance business revenue accounts together with shareholders income and transfers to policyholders revenue account in accordance with the reporting framework of IRDA, amounting to a net surplus of Rs.663.6 million prior to elimination of inter segment revenue of Rs. 18.4 million for the half year ended September 30, 2007, has been included in a manner consistent with the parent's reporting format as was done for the previous periods.

3. The Government of India, vide Public Notice No. PN -17 dated 12 July 2007, increased rate of DEPB (export incentive) from 6% to 9% with retrospective effect from 1 April 2007.

The company has recognised a provision of Rs. 77.4 million in the above results for the quarter ended 30th September 2007 towards assessed losses on estimation. Further write downs / losses will be recognised in the subsequent quarter on completion of assessment.

Bajaj Auto Limited., Bajaj Finserv Limited and Bajaj Holdings & Investments Limited, has been approved by the shareholders and unsecured creditors at the court-convened meetings held on 18 August 2007. Pending approval of the honourable High Court of Bombay and inter-company allocations thereafter, the above results of the company continue to be prepared as a single entity.

6.The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 have been subjected to "Limited Review" by the auditors.
