 the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The accounting
 policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are
 consistent with those used in the previous year.
 
 b) 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 end. Although these estimates are based upon managements best
 knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
 from these estimates.
 
 c) Tangible assets and depreciation
 
 - 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 cost relating to acquisition of fixed
 assets, which take substantial period of time to get ready for its
 intended use, are also included to the extent they relate to the period
 till such assets are ready to be put to use. Machinery spares which can
 be used only in connection with an item of fixed assets and whose use
 as per technical assessment is expected to be irregular are
 capitalized.
 
 - In respect of accounting periods commencing on or after 7th December,
 2006, exchange differences arising on reporting of the long-term
 foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which
 they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in the
 previous financial statements are added to or deducted from the cost of
 the asset and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, if
 these monetary items pertain to the acquisition of a depreciable fixed
 asset.
 
 - Depreciation is provided using the straight line method as per the
 estimated useful lives of the fixed assets estimated by the management,
 which results in depreciation rates being equal to the corresponding
 rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 except for
 certain non factory buildings like boundary wall, tubewell and road
 which are depreciated at 3.34%, the rate of which is higher than the
 rate prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

 of capitalisation of insurance spares is provided over the remaining
 useful life of related assets.
 
 - All assets costing upto Rs 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of
 purchase.

 Designs and Drawings
 
 Amounts paid towards acquisition of designs and drawings for

 Costs relating to Software, which are acquired, are capitalized and
 amortised on a straight line basis over the useful lives of four years.
 
 The period of amortisation is reassessed annually to ascertain
 reasonableness and appropriateness.
 
 e) Impairment
 
 The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
 to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on
 external/internal factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever
 the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The
 recoverable amount is greater of the assets net selling price and
 value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
 flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
 rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
 money and risk specific to the asset.
 
 f) Leases
 
 Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
 and benefits of ownership of the leased term are classified as

 year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income
 for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.
 
 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 and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally
 enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
 tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
 liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing
 taxation laws. 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 unabsorbed depreciation
 or carry 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.
 
 At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized
 deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax assets to
 the extent that it has become 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.
 
 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 deferred tax asset can be
 realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
 reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
 sufficient future taxable income will be available.
 
 o) Provisions
 
 A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation
 as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of
 resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
 which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted
  to its present value and are determined based on best estimate 
 required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These 
 are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to
 reflect the current best estimates.

 accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial
 statements of the Company as a whole.

 loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
 average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

 profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the
 weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are
 adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
 
 r) Cash and cash equivalent
