BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis and under
the historical cost convention in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in India and the provisions of the Companies Act,
1956.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the
generally accepted accounting principles, requires estimates and
assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the
period in which the results are known / materialise.
CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash & cash equivalent for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement comprise
cash at bank and current Accounts.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Management Services fees are recognised on accrual basis. Income from
Dividend is recognised when the right to receive payment is
established. Income from sale of long term investments is recognised on
transfer of shares. Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis
taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed Assets are stated at cost net of impairment loss, if any.
Interest and Finance costs, if any in respect of loan for fnancing
Fixed Assets, are capitalised till the date the assets are ready for
use. However assets having individual value below Rs.5,000/- are
depreciated @ 100% except mobile phones which are charged to revenue
considering their useful life to be less than one year.

expected benefit not exceeding fve years.
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At the end of each accounting period, the Company determines whether a
provision should be made for impairment loss on fixed assets by
considering the indications that an impairment loss may have occurred
in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on Impairment of Assets
issued under Accounting Standard Rules 2006. An impairment loss is
charged to the Profit and Loss account in the period in which, an asset
is identifed as impaired, when the carrying value of the asset exceeds
its recoverable value. The impairment loss recognised in the prior
accounting periods is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimate of recoverable amount.
INVESTMENTS
Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution
in value, which is other than temporary.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted at the exchange rate
prevailing on the date of each transaction. Gains and losses resulting
from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are
recognized in the profit and loss account. In case of forward contracts,
the exchange differences are dealt with in the profit and loss account
over the period of contracts.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT
i) Short Term Employee Benefits – All employee benefits payable within
twelve months of rendering the service are recognized in the period in
which the employee renders the related service.
ii ) Post Employment/Retirement Benefits – Defned Contribution Plans
such as Provident Fund etc. are charged to the Profit and Loss Account
as incurred.
Defned Benefit Obligation Plans – The present value of the obligation
under such plans, is determined based on an actuarial valuation, using
the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses arising on
such valuation are recognized immediately in the Profit and Loss
Account. In case of gratuity, which is funded with the Life Insurance
Corporation of India, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from
the gross obligation under the defned benefit plans, to recognize the
obligation on net basis.
Employee Benefit in form of contribution to Provident Fund managed by a
Trust set up by the Company is charged to Profit & Loss Account as and
when the contribution is due. The defcit, if any, in the accumulated
corpus of the Trust at the period end for which the Company is liable,

impact of the current year timing differences between taxable income
and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences
of earlier years. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent
that there is reasonable certainty that suffcient future taxable income
will be available except that deferred tax assets arising due to
unabsorbed depreciation and losses are recognised if there is virtual
certainty that suffcient future taxable income will be available to
realise the same.
