The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

and expenses for the year presented. Actual results could differ from
these estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates
are recognised in the period in which the results are known /
materialised.

cost. As the project progresses, estimated costs, saleable area etc.
are revised based on current cost indices and other information
available to the Company. Expenses incurred on repairs and maintenance
on completed projects are charged to the Profit & Loss Account.
b) Indirect costs (detailed in Schedule 13) are treated as ''Period
Costs'' and are charged to the Profit and Loss Account in the year

on timing differences, being the difference between taxable income and
accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of
reversal in one or more subsequent years. Deferred tax assets are
recognized and carried forward to the extent that there is a reasonable
certainty of realization. In case of unabsorbed depreciation and carry
forward losses deferred tax assets are recognized, to the extent there
is virtual certainty, that suffcient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
13. Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that
those assets sufered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,

obligation arising from a past event when it is not probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or where
