                                 2. A  plan  pays  a  lump-sum  retirement  benefit  of Rs. 2,000  to  all
                                    employees who are still employed at the age of 50 after twenty years
                                    of service, or who are still employed at the age of 60, regardless of
                                    their length of service.

                                    For employees who join beforethe ageof30, service first leads to
                                    benefits under the plan at the age of 30 (an employee could leave at
                                    the age of 25 and return at the age of 28, with no effect on the amount
                                    or  timing  of  benefits).  Those  benefits  are  conditional  on  further
                                    service. Also, service beyond the age of 50 will lead to no material
                                    amount  of  further  benefits.  For  these  employees,  the  enterprise
                                    attributes benefit of Rs. 100 (Rs. 2,000 divided by 20) to each year
                                    from the age of 30 to the age of 50.

                                    For  employees  who join between the ages of 30 and 40, service
                                    beyond  twenty  years  will  lead  to  no  material  amount  of  further
                                    benefits.  For  these  employees,  the  enterprise  attributes  benefit
                                    of  Rs.  100  (Rs.  2,000  divided  by  20)  to  each  of  the  first  twenty
                                    years.

                                    For an employee who joins at the age of 50, service beyond ten
                                    years will lead to no material amount of further benefits. For this
                                    employee,  the  enterprise  attributes  benefit  of  Rs.  200  (Rs.  2,000
                                    divided by 10) to each of the first ten years.

                                    For all employees, the current service cost and the present value
                                    of the obligation reflect the probability that the employee may not
                                    complete  the  necessary  period  of  service.

                                 3. A  post-employment medical plan reimburses 40%  of  an
                                    employee’s post-employment medical costs if the employee leaves
                                    after more than ten and less than twenty years of service and 50%
                                    of those costs if the employee leaves after twenty or more years
                                    of  service.

                                    Under  the  plan’s benefit  formula, the  enterprise attributes  4%
                                    of  the  present  value  of  the  expected  medical  costs  (40%
                                    divided  by  ten)  to  each  of  the  first  ten  years  and  1%  (10%
                                    divided  by  ten)  to  each  of  the  second  ten  years.  The  current
                                    service  cost  in  each  year  reflects  the  probability  that  the
