I am happy to inform you that the first 9 months of FY'06 have been as per our planned growth strategies. The financial performance of the company improved with profit margins on the rise even with new businesses being developed. In fact, the international launches are being rolled out ahead of schedule.

These launches will impact operating margins over the next few quarters. However, we are confident that with these new initiatives, the company will strengthen its long term position in the international markets.
