Accounting Policy Year : Mar '11
1.  Basis of Accounting:
 
 The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following the
 historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted
 Accounting Principles (GAAP) and in compliance with the Accounting
 Standards prescribed under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules,
 2006 and other requirements of the Companies Act, 1956.  Insurance and
 other claims are accounted for as and when admitted by the appropriate
 authorities.
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
 requires that the management of the Company makes estimates and
 assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of
 the period, the reported balances of assets and liabilities and the
 disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the
 financial statements. Examples of such estimates include the useful
 lives of fixed assets, provision for doubtful debts/advances, future
 obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans, etc. Actual results
 could differ from these estimates. Any revisions to accounting
 estimates are recognised prospectively in the current and future
 periods.  Wherever changes in presentation are made, comparative
 figures of the previous year are regrouped accordingly.
 
 2.  Revenue Recognition
 
 Income from real estate sales is recognised on the transfer of all
 significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyers and it is not
 unreasonable to expect ultimate collection and no significant
 uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration.
 
 Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method
 necessarily involves making estimates by the Company. Revenue from
 construction and project related activity is recognised by applying
 Percentage Completion Method (PCM) to sale of tenements. Percentage of
 completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred to date
 (excluding property acquisition cost) to the total estimated project
 cost (excluding property acquisition cost). Project becomes eligible
 for revenue recognition when the percentage of completion of project
 exceeds 25%.
 
 3.  Fixed Assets
 
 a.  Fixed assets are capitalised at acquisition cost, including
 directly attributable costs such as freight, insurance and specific
 installation charges for bringing the assets to working condition for
 use.
 
 b.  Expenditure relating to existing fixed assets is added to the cost
 of the assets, where it increases the performance / life of the asset
 as assessed earlier.
 
 c.  Fixed assets are eliminated from financial statements either on
 disposal or when retired from active use.
 
 4.  Intangible assets and Amortisation
 
 Intangible assets are recognised as per the criteria specified in

 Long term investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution, if
 any, in the value of each long term investment is made to recognise a
 decline, other than of a temporary nature.
 
 Current investments are carried individually at lower of cost and fair
 value and the resultant decline, if any, is charged to revenue.
 
 6.  Inventories
 
 Inventory of finished tenements are valued at lower of the cost or net
 realizable value. Inventories of work in progress includes cost of
 land, premium for development rights, construction costs and allocated
 interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the
 Company and are valued at cost.

 Guidelines 1999 issued by SEBI. The excess of market value, if any, of
 the stock options as on the date of vesting over the exercise price of
 the options is recognised as deferred employee compensation and is
 charged to the profit and loss account on vesting basis over the
 vesting period of the options. The un-amortized portion of the deferred
 employee compensation, if any, is reduced from Employee Stock Option
 Outstanding.
 
 9.  Borrowing costs
 
 a.  Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition,
 construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised as part
 of the cost of such assets till such time as the asset is ready for its
 intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily
 takes a substantial period over twelve months of time to get ready for
 its intended use or sale.
 
 b.  All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period

 prudence in respect of deferred tax assets, on timing differences,
 being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that
 originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more
 subsequent period.
