We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of India Hospitality Corp. (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'the Group'), which comprise of consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2008, and also the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the Period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2008, and of its financial performance and the changes in the shareholder's equity and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS India Hospitality Corp. ('the Company') and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'the Group'), the Company was formed on May 12, 2006 as blank- check Company to acquire Indian businesses or assets in the hospitality, leisure, tourism, travel and related industries, including but not limited to hotels, resorts, timeshares, serviced apartments and restaurants. In July 2007, the Group completed the acquisition of India-based Mars Restaurants Private Limited ("MRPL" or Mars), an emerging hotel and restaurant company, and Sky Gourmet Catering Private Limited ("SCPL" or SkyGourmet), an airline catering company. Mars was incorporated in the year 2000 with the objective of operating and managing restaurants. Since its incorporation, Mars has diversified into bakery outlets and operating and managing food courts and hotels. SkyGourmet was incorporated in the year 2002 and currently provides inflight catering services to a number of domestic and international airlines. It has operations in Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai. 2. GENERAL INFORMATION The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 12 May 2006 and its shares are publicly traded on the Alternate Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. As of 31 March 2008, the Company had wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Mauritius, Netherlands and India . The Company expects to conduct business, including the making of acquisitions, through its Mauritius subsidiary. To align Company's year end with those of acquired entities the Company has changed its financial year end from March 31 to December 31 and therefore is presenting 15 months financial statements. As the current financial statements are for 15 months and these also include operation of acquired entities from the date of acquisition, the comparatives presented for period ended December 31, 2006 may be not comparable. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') issued by the International Accounting Standards Board effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 January , 2007. These financial statements include comparative financial information as at and for the period ended 31 December, 2006, as required by IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ('IAS 1'). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared and presented in United States Dollar ('USD'), the Company's Reporting currency. The financial statements for the period ended 31 March, 2008 were approved by a committee of the board of directors on September 18, 2008 Financial statements once approved by the Board of Directors are generally not amended. 3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES 3.1 Overall considerations The Group has adopted for the first time IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures in its 2007 consolidated financial statements. The Standard has been applied retrospectively, ie with amendments to the 2006 accounts and their presentation. Other Standards or Interpretations relevant for IFRS financial statements have not become effective during the current financial year. Significant effects on current, prior or future periods arising from the first-time application of the standards listed below in respect of presentation, recognition and measurement of accounts are described in the following notes. An overview of Standards and Interpretations that will become mandatory for the Group in future periods is given in note 3.4. 3.2 Amendment of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements In accordance with the amendment of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, the Group now reports on its capital management objectives, policies and procedures in each annual financial report. The new disclosures that become necessary due to this change in IAS 1 can be found in note JJ. 3.3 Adoption of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures is mandatory for all reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2007 or later. The new Standard replaces and amends disclosure requirements previously set out in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: All disclosures relating to financial instruments including all comparative information have been updated to reflect the new requirements. The first-time application of IFRS 7, however, has not resulted in any prior-period adjustments of cash-flows, net income or balance sheet line items. 3.4 Standards and Interpretations not yet applied The following new Standards and Interpretations, which are yet to become mandatory, have not been applied in the Group's 2008 Group Financial Statements. Standard or Interpretation Effective dates IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Annual periods beginning on Statements (Revised) or after 1 January 2009 IAS 23: Borrowing costs (Revised) Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate Annual periods beginning on Financial Statements (Revised 2008) or after 1 July 2009 IAS 32: Financial Instruments: Annual periods beginning on Presentation-Puttable Financial or after 1 January 2009 Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation Amendment IFRS 2: Share-based Payment (Amendment) Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 IFRS 3: Business Combinations For acquisition dated on or (Revised 2008) after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2009 IFRS 8: Operating Segments periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 IRIC 11 IFRS 2: Group and Treasury Share Annual periods beginning on Transactions or after 1 March 2007. IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction Annual periods beginning on of Real Estate or after 1 January 2009. IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Annual periods beginning on Foreign Operation or after 1 October 2008 IFRIC 13: Customer Loyalty Programmes Annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008 IFRIC 14: IAS 19. The limit on a Defined Annual periods beginning on Benefit Asset Minimum funding requirements or after 1 January 2008 and their interaction. Based on the Group's current business model and accounting policies, management does not expect material impacts on the Group's consolidated Financial Statements when the Interpretations become effective. The Group does not intend to apply any of these pronouncements early. 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 4.1 OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarised below. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the measurement basis specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below. All accounting estimates and assumptions that are used in preparing the financial statements are consistent with the Group's latest approved budged forecast, where applicable. Judgements are based on the information available at each balance sheet date. Although these estimates are based on the best information available to management, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. Estimates of life of various tangible and intangible assets, allowance for uncollectable amounts, and assumptions used in the determination of employee- related obligations represent certain of the significant judgements and estimates made by management. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements are in conformity with IFRS and requires the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, the following judgments have been made apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information: Leases The Company has evaluated each lease agreement for its classification between finance lease and operating lease. The Company has reached its decisions on the basis of the principles laid down in IAS 17, "Leases" for the said classification. Also, the Company has used IFRIC 4, "Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease" for determining whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and based on the assessment whether: a) fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets (the asset); and b) the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Deferred Tax Management judgment is required in determining provisions for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised. If the final outcome of these matters differs from the amounts initially recorded, differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Post employment benefits The cost of post employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rate of return on assets, future salary increases, and mortality rates. Due to the long term nature of these plans such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. For net employee liability at the end of the respective dates - Refer to note AA. Allocation of Banyan Tree Company (BTC) option value During the period, the Company has made certain share based payments to Banyan Tree Company against services rendered by them. The management estimates efforts of Banyan tree to be apportioned in following ratio -- 50% towards share issue expenses -- 40% towards the successful completion of the acquisition of MRPL and SGCPL. -- 10% towards the efforts in relation to an acquisition opportunity, that wasn't ultimately completed. 4.2 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the dates specified in Note 6. Subsidiaries are all entities over which The Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies. The Company obtains and exercises control through voting rights. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment losses from the Group's perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Entities whose economic activities are controlled jointly by the Company and by other ventures independent of the Group are accounted for using proportionate consolidation. 4.3 INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES Entities whose economic activities are controlled jointly by the Company and by other ventures independent of the Company ("joint ventures") are accounted for using proportionate consolidation. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the group and its joint venture entities are eliminated to the extent of group's interest. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment losses from the Company's group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of jointly controlled entities have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. 4.4 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar ('USD'), which is the functional currency of the parent company, India Hospitality Corp., 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 monetary balances at year-end exchange rates are recognised in the income statement under "other income" or "other expenses", as applicable. In the consolidated financial statements, all separate financial statements of subsidiaries, originally presented in a currency different from the Group's presentation currency, have been converted into USD. Assets and liabilities have been translated into USD at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses have been converted into the Group's presentation currency at the average rates over the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded under the currency translation reserve in equity. 4.5 REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales taxes or duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on acceptance of the goods and other revenue recognition criteria is met. Rendering of services Revenue from rendering of services includes Handling Income, Transportation Income and Laundry Income. Revenue is recognised on these when the services are rendered to the customers. Dividends Revenue is recognised when the Group's right to receive the payment is established. Revenue Sharing Revenue from revenue sharing is recognised based on the contractual terms of the agreement. Finance revenue Revenue is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset). 4.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, excluding the costs of the day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised. The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Capital work in progress Capital work in progress includes assets under construction and capital advances. Depreciation Freehold land is not depreciated as useful life for land cannot be determined. Depreciation on other property plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset less estimated residual value of property plant and equipment. The useful lives of the assets are taken as follows: - Buildings 60 years Plant and machinery 8 years Kitchen Equipments 8 years Computers 4 years Electrical Fitting 7 years Furniture and Fixtures 7 years Commercial Vehicles 7 years Motor Vehicles 5 years Office equipments 3 years Leasehold improvements Lease period or the useful life whichever is lower 4.7 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, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. 4.8 INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets include goodwill arising on consolidation, brand name, catering agreements; non compete agreement and concession agreements acquired through business combination. Intangible assets are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. These assets are currently amortized over a period of three to seven years and included under 'Depreciation and Amortization' in the statement of income. Certain intangible assets have an indefinite life and are evaluated for impairment tests at each reporting period. The estimated useful lives of the intangibles are given as follows: - Designs 5 years Customer contracts 5-20 years Trade names Indefinite life Non compete agreement 7 years 4.9 GOODWILL Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost in a business combination over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to Note 4.10 for a description of impairment testing procedures. 4.10 IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The Group's intangible assets, goodwill on acquisition 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 largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitors goodwill. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated 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. To determine the recoverable amount, the Group's management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for the Group's impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect their respective risk profiles as assessed by the Group's management. Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. 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. An impairment charge that has been recognised is reversed if the cash- generating unit's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount 4.11. FINANCIAL ASSETS Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into categories such as loans and receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to- maturity investments. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Derecognition 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. 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 recognised in equity, net of any effects arising from income taxes. Gains and losses arising from securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in the income statement when they are sold or when the investment is impaired. In the case of impairment, any loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to the income statement. Losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. Losses recognised in prior period consolidated income statements resulting from the impairment of debt securities are reversed through the income statement. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are initially recognised at fair values. 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 recognised in profit or loss. 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. The amount of the write-down is determined as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. 4.12 INVENTORIES Inventory comprises food and provision, packing and other materials and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are included on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 4.13 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. Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax is, however, neither provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be offset against future taxable income. The Group's management bases its assessment of the probability of future taxable income on the Group's latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant nontaxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The specific tax rules in the numerous legislations the Group operates in are also carefully taken into consideration. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilised without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by the Group's management based on the specific facts and circumstances. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the income statement, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity. 4.14 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 4.15 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 recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments if lower 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. 4.16 EQUITY Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Additional paid-in capital includes any premium received on the initial issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issue of shares is deducted from additional paid-in capital and stock based compensation costs, net of any related income tax benefits. Foreign currency translation differences are included in the translation reserve. Accumulated earnings include all current and prior period results, as disclosed in the income statement. Due to non exercise of Seller's option by Navis such lapse of seller options has been reversed in APIC and disclosed in Statement Showing Changes in Equity. 4.17 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 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 termination or 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. The Group also provides for provident fund benefit, a 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 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. Interest expenses related to pension obligations are included in "finance costs" in the income statement. All other pension related benefit expenses are included in "Employee benefit expense". 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 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'. 4.18 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables and borrowings, which are measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method. They are included in balance sheet line items 'long-term financial liabilities' and 'trade and other payables'. Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest related charges is recognised as an expense in "finance cost" in the income statement. Trade payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less settlement payments. 4.19 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Provisions are recognised 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. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the balance sheet date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. 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 recognised in the consolidated balance sheet. 4.20 EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share- based remuneration are measured at their fair values. These are indirectly determined by reference to the fair value of the share options awarded. Their value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in statement of income or as allocable to issue of shares and costs of business combination with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital, net of deferred tax where applicable. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised, if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in current period. Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded as additional paid-in capital. 5. BUSINESS COMBINATION On 18 June 2007, India Hospitality Corp. entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding stock of Sky Gourmet Catering Private Limited (SCPL) and Mars Restaurant Private Limited (MRPL). SCPL currently provides in-flight catering services to a number of domestic and international airlines. It has operations in Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai. MRPL is primarily into operating and managing restaurants. It has diversified into bakery outlets and operating and managing food courts and hotels. Pursuant to this agreement, the Group acquired 100% stake on 18 July 2007, India Hospitality Corp. acquired 100% of the equity instruments of SCPL and MRPL on fulfilment of certain conditions precedent to acquisition of majority stake. The acquisition of SCPL and MRPL was made as initiative to establish its presence into the hospitality and leisure industries. For accounting purposes, the date of acquisition is considered to be 31 July 2007. The total cost of acquisition includes the components stated below. The purchase price was settled in cash and issuance of equity instruments of the Group. The Company issued 3,066,667 number of equity shares and the same were valued at prevailing market price on the date of issue. Purchase price 99,053,369 Acquisition related cost 3,173,443 Total 102,226,812 The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of SCPL and MRPL was completed in 2007. The amounts recognised for each class of the acquiree's assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the acquisition date are as follows: Non current assets: Goodwill 30,922,539 Other intangible assets 53,240,102 Property, plant and equipment 38,972,500 Capital work in progress 24,784,986 Current assets 24,155,252 Investments 250,000 Total assets 172,325,379 Current liabilities 26,764,826 Long term liabilities 43,333,771 Total liabilities 70,098,597 Assets acquired on the business combination also included Cash of USD 1,389,659. Disclosure of the carrying amounts of the acquiree's assets and liabilities immediately before the combination in accordance with IFRS was impracticable. SCPL and MRPL has not applied IFRS prior to its acquisition as at 31 July 2007. Therefore, essential data needed for pro-forma IFRS accounts of SCPL and MRPL prior to the date of acquisition was not available. No major line of business will be disposed of as a result of the combination. A significant part of the acquisition costs can be attributed to the assembled workforce and the sales know-how of key personnel of SCPL and MRPL. At the acquisition however, no intangible asset qualified for recognition in this respect. These circumstances contributed to the amount recognised as goodwill. Goodwill arising on the business combination had been allocated to cash- generating units by 31 March 2008. 6.

RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks which results from the Group's operating and investing activities. The Group's risk management is coordinated its parent company, in close co-operation with the board of directors and the core management team of the subsidiaries, and focuses on securing the Group's short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. The Group does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. Financial assets that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, investment securities and deposits. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risk including the credit risk of non- performance by counter parties. The Group's cash equivalents and deposits are invested with banks, whereas investment securities represent investments in highly liquid securities traded actively on various stock exchanges. The Group's trade and other receivables are actively monitored to review credit worthiness of the customers to whom credit terms are granted and also avoid significant concentrations of credit risks. 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. Foreign Currency sensitivity The operating currency of the subsidiaries being Indian Rupee (INR) most transactions are incurred in Indian Rupees (INR). The subsidiaries incur certain foreign currency transactions however no significant exposure to currency exchange rate is noted. As the subsidiaries operate in India and therefore have a natural hedge to foreign currency exchange the group has not taken any steps to mitigate such risks. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities, translated into USD at the closing rate, are as follows. Nominal amounts March 31, 2008 December 31, 2006 USD INR USD INR Short term exposure Financial assets 17,293,100 689,644,698 - - Financial liabilities 22,296,055 889,612,611 - - Net short term exposure (5,002,955) (199,617,913) - - Long term exposure Financial assets 6,276,636 250,437,790 - - Financial liabilities 30,989,926 1,236,498,036 - - Net Long term exposure (24,713,289) (986,060,246) - - If the INR had strengthened against the US Dollar by 3% (2006: 0%) then this would have had the following impact: March 31, 2008 December 31, 2006 USD USD Net results for the period (9,590) - If the INR had weakened against the US Dollar by 7% (2006: 0%) then this would have had the following impact: March 31, 2008 December 31, 2006 USD USD Net results for the period (20,286) - Interest rate sensitivity The Group's policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term borrowing. Vehicles borrowings being at fixed rates, these are no sensitivity analysis on these. At 31 March 2008, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its long term bank borrowings, which are subject to variable interest rates - see note 4.7 for further information. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the period and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +1% and -1% (2006: +/-0%), with effect from the end of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on the Group's consolidated financial instruments held at each balance sheet date. All other variables are held constant. March 31, 2008 December 31, 2006 + 1% - 1% + 1% - 1% Net results for the period (3,547,624) (3,504,468) - - Credit risk analysis The Group's exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the balance sheet date, as summarised below: March 31, 2008 December 31,2006 Highly liquid investments 14,367,242 - Cash & cash at bank 1,770,223 - Trade receivables 8,133,181 - Other receivables 1,590,335 - The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Group, and incorporates' this information into its credit risk controls. The Group's policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The Group's management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality, including those that are past due. None of the Group's financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit enhancements. In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group's exposure to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics refer note J. The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Liquidity risk analysis The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash- outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly The Group maintains cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 30-day periods. Funding in regards to long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets. As at 31 March 2008, The Group's liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below: Current Non Current Within 6 to 1 to More than 6 months 12 months 5 years 5 years 2008 2006 2008 2006 2008 2006 2008 2006 Term loan from banks 1,260,652 - 1,260,652 - 28,470,170 - - - Vehicle loan 677,614 - 677,614 - 2,994,194 - - - Trade payable 9,305,107 - - - - - - - Other short term liabilities 4,101,461 - - - - - - - The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash out flows, not discounted at the current values thereby these values will differ to the carrying values of the liabilities at the balance sheet date. NOTE KK. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES the Group' s capital management objectives are: -- to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern; and -- to provide an adequate return to shareholders. by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its subordinated loan (see note 22), less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the balance sheet. Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarised as follows: The Group's goal in capital management is to maintain a capital-to-overall financing structure ratio as low as possible.
