 Long term investments are stated at cost. Diminution in value, if any,
 which is of a temporary nature, is not provided for.
 
 vii.  Intangible Assets:
 
 Intangible Assets are initially measured at cost and amortized so as to
 reflect the pattern in which the assets'' economic benefits are
 consumed.

 Non-monetary items carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a
 foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of
 the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value
 or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are
 reported using the exchange rate that existed when the values were
 determined.
 
 Exchange differences arising as a result of the above are recognised as
 income or expense, as the case may be, in the profit and loss account.

 fluctuations by following established risk management policies
 including the use of derivatives. The Company enters into forward
 exchange and option contacts, where the counter party is a bank. The
 forward contracts or options are not used for trading or speculation
 purposes.
 
 In case of forward contract, the difference between the forward rate
 and the exchange rate, being the premium or discount at the inception
 of a forward exchange contract is recognised as income/expense over the
 life of the contract.  Exchange differences on such contracts are
 recognised in the profit and loss account in the reporting period in
 which the rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or
 renewal of forward exchange contract is recognised as income or expense
 for the period.
 
 To designate a forward contract or option as an effective hedge,
 management objectively evaluates and evidences with appropriate
 supporting documents at the inception of each contract whether the
 contract is effective in achieving offsetting cash flows, attributable
 to the hedged risk. To the extent, hedges are designated effective,
 neither gain nor loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. In
 the absence of a designation as an effective hedge, loss is recognised
 in the profit and loss account.
 
 xi.  Foreign operations:
 
 The financial statements of integral foreign operations are translated
 as if the transactions of the foreign operations have been those of the
 Company itself.
 
 In translating the financial statements of a non-integral foreign
 operation for incorporation in the financial statements, the assets and
 liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, of the non-integral
 foreign operation are translated at the closing rate; income and
 expense items of the non-integral foreign operation are translated at
 average exchange rate prevailing during the year and all resulting
 exchange differences are accumulated in a foreign currency translation
 reserve until the disposal of the net investment.
 
 On the disposal of the non-integral foreign operation, the cumulative
 amount of the exchange difference which has been deferred and which
 relate to the operation are recognised as income or expense in the same
 period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.
 
 When there is a change in the classification of a foreign operation,
 the transaction procedures applicable to the revised classification are
 applied from the date of the change in classification.

 a result of a past event. It is probable that an outflow of resources
 will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which reliable
 estimates can be made.  Provisions are not discounted to its present
 value and are determined based on best estimates required to settle the
 obligation at the Balance Sheet date.
 
 A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a
 possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably wilt

 present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of
 resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is required.
