(a) Mobitel (Private) Limited is a defendant against a law suit to the value of Rs. 2 million. As per legal opinion the outcome of this is uncertain and the Directors of the Company believe based on the information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of such legal procedures would not likely have a material adverse effect on the results of operation, financial position or liquidity. Accordingly, no provision for any liability has been made in these financial statements

.
(b) A draft bill of the Vishwa Grama Fund is presently being considered by Parliament to impose a levy on the Company. Pending the enactment of the bill the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2003 do not include a provision in respect for the contribution. Accordingly, no provision for liability has been made in these financial statements.
