There is no deviation or variation in the use of proceeds of issue of the Debentures from the objects stated in the Information Memorandum. The Company does not have any Outstanding redeemable preference shares as at end of each period presented.

ISIN Amount Rs in Crores INE602A 14463 100

Formula for computation of above ratios are as follows:

Debt Equity Ratio= Non Current Borrowings + Current Borrowings / Total Equity

Debt Service Coverage Ratio= Net profit after tax+ Depreciation and amortisation expense + (Finance costs excluding interest on lease Iiabilities+ net gain on foreign currency transaction+Main 6 Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment) / Debt Service ( lnterest+ Principal Loan repayment).

Interest Service Coverage Ratio = (Profit Before Tax +Finance costs excluding interest on lease liabilities+net gain on foreign currency transaction)/(Finance costs excluding interest on lease liabilities +net gain on foreign currency transaction)

Net worth = Equity Share Capital excluding money received against share warrant + Securities Premium + General Reserve + Retained Earnings. Current Ratio = Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities

Long term Debt to Working Capital = Non current borrowings including current maturities of long-term debts/ (Current Assets- Current Liabilities excluding current maturities of long term debts)

Bad Debt to Accounts Receivable Ratio = Bad Debt ( including allowance for doubtful debts / expected credit loss ) / Trade Receivables Current Liability Ratio= Total Current Liabilities / Total Liabilities

Total Debts to Total Assets= (Non Current Borrowings+ Current Borrowings) / Total Assets

Debtors Turnover Ratio Days = Sales( Sales of Finished Goods and Traded Goods including GST+Sale of Power) / Trade Receivables*.

"The Company's turnover is highly sensitive to the changes in crude prices which may fluctuate widely between quarters. The Company, therefore, believes that the Debtors turnover days computed on the basis of simple average of the turnover days for each of the four quarters of the year will be more appropriate and reflective of company's operations. The turnover days for each quarter is derived by dividing the quarter-end outstanding debtors balance with sales for the respective quarter.

Inventory Turnover= Sales( Sales of Finished Goods and Traded Goods without GST+SaIe of Power)/ "Inventories(Raw Materials + Finished Goods + Stores and spares parts (including packing material)).
