extent applicable and in accordance with the Provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956.
1.2. Use of Estimates:
Preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles requires Company Management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported balance of assets and
liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of Financials and reported amounts of income
and expenses during the period. Examples of such estimate include
Revenues and Profits expected to be earned on projects carried on by the
Company, contract costs expected to be incurred for completion of
project, provision for doubtful debts, income taxes, etc. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. Differences, if any, between
the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which
the results are known or materialised.
1.3. Expenditure
Expenses are accounted on the accrual basis and provi- sions are made
for all known losses and liabilities.
1.4. Valuation of Inventories and Construction Work-in- Progress:
a) Valuation of Inventories, representing stock of materials at project
site/with contractors, has been done after providing for obsolescence,
if any, at lower of Cost or Net Realisable Value. The cost is generally
calculated on FIFO basis.
b) Valuation of inventories, representing food and beverages, held at
Sheraton Bangalore at Brigade Gateway has been done after providing for
obsoles- cence, if any, at lower of Cost or Net Realisable Value. The
cost is generally calculated on weighted average basis.
c) The value of construction Work-in-Progress during the period is
determined as follows:
¾ The aggregate of opening Work-in-Progress, cost of construction, and
construction overheads incurred during the year as reduced by cost of
completed contract transferred to income and closing stock of materials
if any.
¾ The value of completed projects intended for immediate sale is
considered as an inventory and value of completed projects/units
intended to be retained/leased is considered as fixed asset.
¾ Land held for development, Work-in-Progress, Trans- ferable
Development Rights, and Closing Stock of unsold units is valued at Cost
or Net Realisable Value whichever is lower.
1.5. Cash Flow Statement:
Cash Flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby Profit before

investing activities of the Company are segregated.

5,000/- is charged off in the year of purchase.
1.8. Revenue Recognition: ¾ Income from operations is determined and
recog- nised, based on the percentage of completion method, as the
aggregate of the Profits earned on the projects completed/under
completion and the value of construction work done during the period.
Profit so recognised in respect of individual projects is adjusted to
ensure that it does not exceed the estimated overall Profit margin. Loss
on projects, if any, is fully provided for.
Stage of completion of projects in progress is deter- mined on the
basis of the proportion of the contract costs incurred, in respect of
individual projects for work performed up to the period of the financial
statements, bear to the estimated total project cost. Income
recognised as contract revenue during the period is based on the lower
of stage of completion as determined above and percentage of actual
amount received on sale (pursuant to agreements entered into by the
Company) of the estimated contract value of these projects. Project
revenues on new projects are recognised when the stage of completion of
each project reaches a significant level, which is estimated to be at
least 25%.
The estimates for sale value and contract costs are reviewed by
Management periodically and the cumulative effect of the changes in
these estimates, if any, are recognised in the period in which these
changes may be reliably measured.
¾ In respect of sale of completed units, revenue is recognised when the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the units in real estate
have been passed on to the buyer.

shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. The diluted potential equity shares are
adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been actually

shares). Diluted potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the
beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date.

(Accounting Standards) Rules 2006, where the recoverable amount of any
fixed asset is lower than its carrying amount, a provision for
impairment loss on fixed assets is made for the difference.
1.17. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
Provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as
a result of past event and is probable that an outfow of resources will
be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable
estimate can be made. Provisions are determined based on management
estimates required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date.
These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to refect
the current management estimate. Where no reliable estimate can be
made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a
contingent liability is also made when there is possible obligation or
a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outfow
of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outfow of resources is
remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
