 make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
 assets and liabilities and disclosure relating to contingent
 liabilities as at the date of the financials and the reported amounts
 of revenue and expenses during the reported year.
 
 Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Appropriate
 changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of
 changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. The effects of
 changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial
 statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material,
 their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements
 which are lower than the rates specified in Schedule VI of the

 the Companies Act, 1956 on all the assets except certain equipments
 which are depreciated over their estimated useful life.
 
 (ii) Leasehold land is being amortized in equal installments over the
 lease period.

 arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the
 end of its useful life.

 Realised gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions other than
 those relating to fixed assets are recognised in the profit and loss
 account except gain/loss on transaction of long term liabilities
 incurred to acquire fixed assets is treated as an adjustment to the
 carrying cost of fixed assets.

 of the obligations cannot be made.
