confirmity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent

operations during the reported period. Although, these estimates are
based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and
actions,actual results could differ from these estimates.

depreciation. Roll-over charges on forward exchange contracts and loss
or gain on conversion of foreign currency liabilities for acquisition
of fixed assets are added to or deducted from the cost of fixed assets.

eligible for capitalization are determined in accordance with

recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.

nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash
receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with
investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
(n) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities :
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event,the company
has a present legal obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it
is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by the best estimate
of the outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligation
at the reporting date. 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 a possible obligation
or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,require an
outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation in respect of which the likelyhood of outflow of resources
is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
