2. The Company is engaged primarily in printing and publication of Newspaper and Magazines in India. The other activities of the company comprise outdoor advertising business, event management services and SMS services. However, the activities of the Company in the context of the Accounting Standard 17 on Segment Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India are considered to constitute one single reportable segment.

3. There is no qualification of Auditors for the year ended March 31, 2007 except regarding non- amortization of the value of title "Dainik Jagran" which in the opinion of management is not required to be amortized in view of its life being infinite and residual value being much higher than its cost. However, the Company has sought opinion from Expert Advisory Committee of ICAI, which is awaited.

4. Number of investor complaints/queries outstanding at the beginning of the quarter was 2, number of complaints/queries received and disposed off during the quarter were 40 and outstanding number of complaints/queries at the end of the quarter was 2.

5. Utilisation of IPO Proceeds: Out of unspent amount of Rs. 198.21 crores, an amount of Rs. 12.52 crores has been spent in terms of the Objects of the issue and remaining balance Rs. 185.69 crores is temporarily invested /deposited as indicated in the Prospectus.

6. Consequent upon issue of 1,00,39,020 Bonus Shares of Rs. 10 each in the ratio of 1:5 on November 9, 2006, Earning Per Share (EPS) has been calculated and adjusted for the past periods in terms of Accounting Standard - 20 issued by ICAI.
