In accordance with Accounting Standard 15 (revised 2005), actuarial valuation was done in respect of the aforesaid defined plans based on the following assumptions: -

Economic Assumptions

The discount rate and salary increases assumed are key financial assumptions and should be considered together; it is the difference or gap between these rates which is more important than the individual rates in isolation.

Discount Rate

The discounting rate is based on the gross redemption yield on medium to long-term risk free investments. For the current valuation a discount rate of 8 % p.a. compound, has been used in consultation with the employer.

Salary Escalation Rate

The salary escalation rate usually consists of at least three components, viz. Regular increments, price inflation and promotional increases. In addition to this any commitments by the management regarding future salary increases and the Companys philosophy towards employee remuneration are also to be taken into account. Again a long- term view as to the trend in salary increase rates has to be taken rather than be guided by the escalation rates experienced in the immediate past, if they have been influenced by unusual factors.

a. The following tables set out the unfunded status of the gratuity plan and earned leaves and amounts recognised in the Companys financial statements as at 31 March, 2010:

Notes:

1. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of obligations.

2. The estimates of future salary increases considered take into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.

3. The gratuity plan and earned leave is unfunded.

9. The Company has applied to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India under section 211(4) of the Companies Act, 1956 for getting exemption with regard to disclosures in respect of quantitative details of turnover, opening and closing stock, purchases, production and consumption of raw material. The final approval is awaited pending which the said disclosures are not being furnished.

10. The Company had sent letters to its suppliers for confirmation of their registration under "Micro, small and medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006" and the company has not received any intimation from any of its suppliers regarding their status under the said Act and hence disclosure, if any, relating to amounts unpaid as at the year-end along with interest paid / payable as required under the said Act have not been given.

11. The name of the Company has been changed from Vardhman Hotels Limited to Asian Hotels (East) Limited effective 16th February 2010.

12. Schedules 1 to 16 form an integral part of the Balance Sheet as at 31 March, 2010 and the Profit and Loss Account for the nine months period ended 31 March, 2010.

13. Previous year financial statements are for fifteen months whereas current year financial statements are for nine months. Hence, current year figures are not comparable with previous year figures. Current years financial statements also include only five months operations of Hotel Hyatt Regency Kolkata which was not there in the previous year.

14. Previous year figures have been regrouped/ reclassified wherever necessary to conform to current year classification.

(a) Renovation/refurbishing work / other work in progress 615.39 681.31

(b) Advances for capital contracts (unsecured, considered good) 138.17 3330.72

753.56 4012.03 2. The Company, based on the report by a Certified Valuer, had revalued land and building of Hotel Hyatt Regency Delhi by adopting Cost of Contractors method, on 28th February 2007 at Rs. 85,700.00 Lakhs, the same resulted in an increase in the value of land and building of an amount of Rs. 82,131.81 Lakhs, and therefore an equivalent amount had been credited to the Revaluation Reserve Account. Due to increase in the value of assets, there was an additional charge of Rs. 80.87 Lakhs (Prior year Rs.53.91 Lakhs), for the current period, on account of depreciation. Resultantly, an equivalent amount of Rs 80.87 Lakhs (Prior year Rs.53.91 Lakhs) has been withdrawn from the Revaluation Reserve Account and credited to the Profit & Loss Account.

3. At the beginning of the current period, the Company held 75000 equity shares of Rs.10/- each of Regency Convention Centre and Hotels Ltd (RCC), representing 48.28% of paid up equity capital of RCC, acquired for a consideration of Rs. 173.02 Lakhs.

Apart from the above, the Company, during the prior years, had also made an advance of Rs. 334 Lakhs for acquiring further shares of RCC from their existing shareholders and incurred expenditure on behalf of RCC amounting to Rs. 55.82 Lakhs upto the balance sheet date.

The principal assets of RCC comprises of an interest in a parcel of land at Mumbai, the right in such interest is being contested in the Bombay High Court. However, the Company has been legally advised that it has a fair chance of success. An independet broker has also made an indicative offer to the Company for its interest in RCC at a value which is higher than the book value being reflected in the books of the Company. In the proposed Scheme of Arrangement and Demerger of the Company (Refer Note 18 below) the aforesaid assets forms part of Kolkata undertaking at their book value. Considering that the value of the asset is contingent upon the outcome of legal proceedings, as suggested supra, in the light of present uncertainty about the outcome of the matter, and, therefore, whether there is impairment, if any, the value of the aforesaid assets can not be reasonably determined at present.

In view of the above, no provision for impairment in respect of said assets has been made in these financial statements.

4. The Company has not recognised any loss on impairment in respect of assets of the Company as is required in terms of Accounting Standard (AS) 28 on "Impairment of Assets" since in the opinion of the Management, as confirmed by the Audit Committee, the reduction in value of any asset, to the extent required, has already been provided for in the books.

The Honble High Court vide its order dated 29th May, 2009, stayed the effect and implementation of the Scheme, as approved earlier and directed the Company to obtain the approval of its equity shareholders for the amended Scheme.
