a.  Change in Accounting policy Presentation and disclosure of
 Financial statements
 
 During the year ended 31st December 2012, the revised Schedule VI
 notified under the Companies Act 1956, has become applicable to the
 Company, for preparation and presentation of its financial statements.
 The adoption of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and
 measurement principles followed for preparation of financial
 statements. However, it has significant impact on presentation and
 disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also
 reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the
 requirements applicable in the current year.
 
 b.  Use of estimates
 
 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
 liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
 financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting
 period. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best
 knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
 from these estimates.
 
 c.  Investments
 
 Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
 more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
 investments are classified as long-term investments. Current
 investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on
 an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at
 cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a
 decline other than temporary in the value of long term investments.
 
 d.  Fixed Assets
 
 Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition (or revalued amounts, as
 the case may be) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
 if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of
 bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. In
 case of revaluation of fixed assets, the revalued amount as determined
 by the valuer, is considered in the books of account and the
 differential amount is transferred to Revaluation Reserve. Depreciation
 on the revalued amount is transferred from Revaluation Reserve to
 Statement of profit and loss.
 
 e.  Depreciation
 
 i.  FixedAssets costing below Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the
 year of acquisition.
 
 ii.  Lease hold improvements (LHI) included under building and
 furniture & fixtures are amortised on straight line basis over the
 period of lease or useful life (not exceeding 9 years), whichever is
 lower.
 
 iii. Depreciation on other Fixed Assets is provided on Written Down
 Value method at the rates based on the estimated useful life of the
 assets, estimated by the management which is in accordance with the
 rates specified in Schedule XIV of the CompaniesAct, 1956.
 
 iv.  Depreciation on fixed assets added/disposed off during the year is
 provided on pro-rata basis with respect to date of acquisition/
 disposal.
 
 f.  Impairment
 
 i.  The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet
 date if there is any indication of impairment based on
 internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever
 the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The
 recoverable amount is the greater of the asset''s net selling price and
 value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
 flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount
 rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
 money and risk specific to the asset.
 
 ii.  After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
 amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
 
 g.  Inventories
 
 Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at lower of
 cost and net realizable value. However, raw materials and other items
 held for use in the production of inventories are not written down
 below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated
 are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a
 weighted average basis.
 
 Work in progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net
 realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and labour and a
 proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating
 capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty. Cost is
 determined on a weighted average basis. Cost of traded goods includes
 purchase and allied costs incurred to bring inventory to its present
 condition and location, determined on FIFO basis.
 
 Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
 course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
 costs necessary to make the sale.
 
 h.  Revenue Recognition
 
 Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
 economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
 reliably measured.
 
 i.  Sale of Goods:
 
 Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of
 ownership of goods have passed to the buyer, which generally coincides
 with delivery. It includes excise duty but excludes value added
 tax/sales tax. Excise Duty deducted from turnover (gross) is the amount
 that is included in the amount of turnover (gross) and not the entire
 amount of liability that arose during the year.
 
 ii.  Interest:
 
 Revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account
 the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
 
 iii. Export Benefits:

 significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the
 relevant export proceeds.
 
 i.  Foreign Currency Transactions
 
 i.  Initial Recognition
 
 Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
 by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between
 the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
 transaction.
 
 ii.  Conversion
 
 Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
 Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
 denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate
 at the date of the transaction.
 
 iii. Exchange Differences
 
 Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on
 reporting company''s monetary items at rates different from those at
 which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in
 previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses
 in the year in which they arise.
 
 iv.  Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency
 risk of an existing asset/ liability
 
 The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
 contract is amortized and recognized as an expense/ income over the
 life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts, except
 the contracts which are long-term foreign currency monetary items, are
 recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which
 the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation
 or renewal of such forward exchange contract is also recognized as
 income or as expense for the period.
 
 j. Government Grants and Subsidies
 
 Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is
 reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all
 attaching conditions will be complied with.
 
 When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized
 as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic
 basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate. Where the grant
 or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted from the gross
 value of the assets concerned in arriving at the carrying amount of the
 related asset.
 
 Government grants in the form of non-monetary assets given at a
 concessional rate are accounted for on the basis of their acquisition
 cost.
 
 k. Borrowing Cost
 
 Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or
 construction of Qualifying Assets, which take substantial period of

 Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure
 incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future
 recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured. Any expenditure
 carried forward is amortised over the period of expected future sales
 from the related project, not exceeding ten years.
 
 The carrying value of development cost is reviewed for impairment
 annually when the asset is not yet in use, and otherwise when events or
 changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
 recoverable.
 
 n. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
 
 i Gratuity liability is defined benefit obligation and is provided for
 on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method
 made at the end of each financial year. The liability so provided is
 represented substantially by creation of separate funds and is used to
 meet the liability as and when it accrues for payment in future.
 
 ii.  The Provident Fund (where administered by a Trust) is a defined
 benefit scheme where by the Company deposits as amount determined as a
 fixed percentage of basic pay to the fund every month. The benefit
 vests upon commencement of employment. The interest credited to the
 accounts of the employees is adjusted on an annual basis to confirm to
 the interest rate declared by the government for the Employees
 Provident Fund. The Guidance Note on implementing AS-15, Employee
 Benefits (revised 2005) states that provident funds set up by
 employers, which requires interest shortfall to be met by the employer,
 need to be treated as defined benefit plan. The Actuarial Society of
 India has issued the final guidance for measurement of provident fund
 liabilities. The Company has adopted actuary valuation to arrive at
 provident fund liability as at 31st December, 2012.
 
 iii. Short term compensated absences are provided on estimated basis.
 Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial

 operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
 in the Statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the
 lease term.
 
 p. Taxes on Income
 
 Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax
 is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
 accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act 1961 enacted in India.
 Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing
 differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year
 and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.
 
 Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
 enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred
 tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are off set, if a legally
 enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
 tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
 liabilities relate to the taxes on Income levied by the same governing
 taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent
 that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable
 income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
 realised.
 
 The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance
 sheet date. The Company writes- down the carrying amount of a deferred
 tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
 virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
 income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
 realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
 reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
 sufficient future taxable income will be available.
 
 q. Provisions
 
 A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation as a
 result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources
 will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a
 reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its
 present value and are determined based on best estimate required to
 settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at
 each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
 estimates.
 
 r. Earnings Per Share (Basic & Diluted)
 
 Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net
 profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the
 weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
 Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share
 to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends
 relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year. The
 weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is
 adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to
 existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split
 (consolidation of shares).
 
 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
 profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the
 weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are
 adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. 
 
 s.  Cash and cash equivalents
 
 Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement
 comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
 original maturity of three months or less.
