 products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical
 segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of

 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 recognised 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
 realised. In case where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or
 carry forward tax losses, entire deferred tax assets are recognised
 only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence
 that they can be realised against future taxable profits.
 
 Unrecognised deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and
 recognized 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
 realised. 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 realised. 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.
 
 Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognized as an asset only
 when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company
 will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in
 which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in
 accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance note issued
 by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is
 created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as
 MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance
 sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
 Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
 effect that Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified
 period.
 
 (p) Earning Per Share
 
 Basic Earnings Per Share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
 loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting
 dividend on preference shares and attributable taxes) by the weighted
 average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
 
 For the purpose of calculating Diluted Earnings Per Share, the net
 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.
 
 (q) Provisions
 
 A provision is recognised when the Company 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 their
 present value and are determined based on best management estimate
 required to settle the obligation at each Balance Sheet date. These are
 reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the
 current best management estimates.
 
 (r) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at
 bank and in hand and short term investments with an original maturity

 Stock Purchase Scheme) Guideline, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
 Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
 of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
 cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
 method. Compensation expense, if any, is amortized over the vesting
 period of the option on a straight line basis.
 
 (t) Government Grants and Subsidies
 
 Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is
 reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all
 attaching conditions will be complied with.
 
 When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized
 as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic
 basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate. Where the grant
 or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted in arriving at
 the carrying amount of the related asset.  Government grants of the
 nature of promoters contribution are credited to capital reserve and
 treated as a part of shareholders funds.
