1.  Accounting Convention:
 
 The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
 respects with the Accounting Standards notified by Companies
 (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the
 Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared under
 the historical cost convention on an accrual basis except otherwise
 stated. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the
 Company.
 
 Use of estimates:
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
 accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
 liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
 financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting
 period. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best
 knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
 from these estimates.
 
 2.  Fixed Assets:
 
 Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
 impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any
 attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
 its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of qualifying
 fixed assets which take substantial period of time to get ready for
 their intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the
 period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
 
 3.  Depreciation:
 
 Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method as per the
 useful lives of the assets estimated by the management or at the rates
 prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is
 higher.
 
 In respect of equipment of IT and PKI Projects, they are depreciated at
 the rate of 9.5% per annum which is based on useful life of such assets
 estimated by the management.
 
 Furniture exceeding Rs. 5,000/- provided to employees is depreciated
 fully in the year of purchase.
 
 In respect of assets acquired for giving on lease, the depreciation is
 provided at flat rates equally spread over the tenure of lease
 agreement or at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies
 Act, 1956, whichever is higher.
 
 The core engine, an integral part of Captive Power Plant, needs
 replacement at the end of every three years and so the replacement
 amount is capitalized and is depreciated over its useful life of three
 years.
 
 4.  Impairment:
 
 The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
 if there is any indication of impairment based on internal / external
 factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount
 of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
 the greater of the asset''s net selling price and value in use. In
 assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
 to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
 
 After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
 amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
 
 A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed
 depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value
 after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would
 have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no
 impairment.
 
 5.  Intangible Assets:
 
 Goodwill is amortized over the period of 5 years commencing from the
 financial year in which the amalgamation is effected and accounted for.
 
 Software is amortized over its estimated useful life of six years.
 Licence acquired and used along with and directly related to the plant
 and machinery is amortized over the estimated useful life of the
 related plant and machinery.
 
 Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure
 incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future
 recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured.
 
 6.  Leases:
 
 Finance Lease:
 
 Assets given under a finance lease are recognized as a receivable at an
 amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease rentals are
 apportioned between principal and interest on the IRR method.  The
 principal amount received reduces the net investment in the lease and
 interest is recognized as revenue. Initial direct costs such as legal
 costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognized immediately in the
 Statement of Profit and Loss.
 
 Operating Lease:
 
 Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets.  Lease
 income is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a

 7.  Investments:
 
 Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not
 more than a year are classified as current investments. All other

 investment category basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost.
 However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a
 decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
 
 8.  Inventories:

 Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
 course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
 costs necessary to make the sale.
 
 9.  Foreign currency Transactions:

 transaction.
 
 b.  Conversion:
 
 Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
 Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost

 at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign
 currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the
 values were determined.
 
 c.  Exchange Differences:
 
 The net gain or loss on account of exchange rate differences arising on
 settlement or restatement of foreign currency transactions for foreign
 currency monetary items are recognized as income or expenses of the
 period in which they arise except exchange differences arising on
 long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a
 fixed asset which are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining
 useful life of the asset. For this purpose, the Company treats a
 foreign currency monetary item as long-term foreign currency
 monetary item, if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of
 its origination.
 
 d.  Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation
 purposes:

 the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchange
 rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of

 life of the respective depreciable fixed asset by way of a reduced
 depreciation charge.
 
 12.  Borrowing Costs:
 
 Interest and other costs in connection with the borrowing of the funds

 Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
 enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred
 tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable
 certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
 against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations
 where the Company has carried forward tax losses, all deferred tax
 assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by
 convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable
 profits.  The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at
 each balance sheet date. The Company writes down the carrying amount of
 a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
 certain or virtually certain as the case may be, that sufficient future
 taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets
 can be realized.

 extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to
 a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

 profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
 the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
 adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
