Accounting Convention
 
 The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
 convention, on an accrual basis, in accordance with the Generally
 Accepted Accounting Principles and applicable Accounting Standards as
 notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006.
 
 Use of estimates
 
 The preparation and presentation of financial statements in conformity
 with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires making of
 estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
 the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between
 the actual result and estimates are recognised in the period in which
 the results are known / materialised.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
 Sale of products are recognised when risk and rewards of ownership of
 the products are passed on to the customers, which is generally on the
 despatch of goods. Sales are exclusive of sales tax. Interest income is
 recognised on time proportion basis.
 
 Fixed assets
 
 Fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition less accumulated
 depreciation and impairment, if any. Cost is inclusive of freight,
 duties, taxes and other directly attributable costs incurred to bring
 the assets to their working condition for intended use.
 
 Depreciation / Amortisation
 
 Depreciation is charged using straight-line method based on the useful
 lives of the fixed assets as estimated by the management as specified
 below, or the rates specified in accordance with the provisions of
 Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is higher.
 
 Depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased / sold
 during the year. Individual fixed assets costing less than Rs.5 000 are
 depreciated in full, in the year of purchase. Cost of leasehold land is
 amortised over the year of the lease or management estimate whichever
 is lower.
 
 Impairment of Assets
 
 The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any
 indication that an asset may be impaired.  If any such indication
 exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If
 such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
 cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its
 carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
 amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
 recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. If at the Balance Sheet date
 there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no
 longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is
 reflected at the recoverable amount.
 
 Inventories
 
 Inventories consist of raw and packing materials, stores and spares,
 work-in-progress and finished goods. Inventories are valued at lower of

 appropriate portion of allocable overheads.
 
 Foreign Exchange Transactions
 
 Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates
 prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary items in foreign
 currencies are stated at the closing exchange rate. In the case of
 Monetary items covered by forward exchange contracts, the premium or
 discount arising at the inception of such a forward exchange contract
 is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract and the

 under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there
 is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets
 are reviewed as at each Balance sheet date and are written down or
 written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain
 (as the case may be) to be realised.

 the Profit and Loss Account on a straight line basis over the lease
 term with the lessor.

 obligation as a result of a past event, for which it is probable that a
 cash outflow will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of
 the amount of the obligation. Contingent Liabilities are disclosed when

 probable that a cash outflow will not be required to settle the
 obligation.
