II. Use of Estimates :
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and
assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Difference
between the actual result and estimates are recognised in the period in
which the results are known / materialized.
III. Fixed Assets:
Fixed Assets are stated at cost, net of modvat, less accumulated
depreciation. All cost including financing costs till commencement of
commercial production, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and
adjustments arising from exchange rate variations relating to
borrowings attributable to the fixed assets are capitalized.

with the provision of Section 205(2) (b) of the Companies Act, 1956 at
the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. In
case of addition the depreciation is being provided on pro-rata basis
with reference to the month of acquisition/ installation.

and on FIFO basis except otherwise stated.
b) Finished Stocks are being valued at direct cost or net realisable
values whichever is lower.
VII. Impairment of Fixed Assets :

whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of
the company''s fixed assets. If any indication exists, an asset''s
recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized
whenever the carrying amount of an aseet exceeds its recoverable
amount.
b) Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded
when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized for
the asset no longer exists or has decreased.
VIII. Revenue Recognition :

at the end of the year, are reported using the closing rates. The
exchange difference arising as a result of the above is recognised in
the profit and loss account.
iii) In case the monetary items are covered by the foreign exchange
contracts, the difference between the year end rate and the exchange
rate at the date of the inception of the forward exchange contract is
recognised as exchange difference.
iv) In respect of hedging transactions, the premium/discount
represented by difference between the exchange rate at the date of the

The company capitalises interest and other costs incurred by it in
connection with funds borrowed for the acquisition of fixed assets.
Where specific borrowings are identified to a fixed asset or a new
unit, the company uses the interest rates applicable to that specific
borrowing as the capitalisation rate. Where borrowing cannot be
specifically indentified to fixed assets, the capitalisation rate
applied is the interest rate applicable to working capital loans of the
company. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when all the
activities necessary to prepare the fixed assets for their intended use
are substantially complete. Other borrowing costs are charged to profit
and loss account.

rate of taxation, on all timing differences to the extent it is
probable that a liability or asset will crystallise. Deferred Tax
Assets are recognised subject to consideration of prudence and are
periodically reviewed to reassess realisation thereof.
