account (net of advances) Rs 19817.77 Lac (Previous Year Rs. 69313.03

1968.39 Lac) which includes depreciation of Rs 45.87 Lac (Previous Year

5. Disclosure of Sundry Creditors under Current Liabilities is based
on the information available with the Company regarding the status of
the suppliers as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Development Act, 2006” and there are no delays in payments to Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises as required to be disclosed under the said
Act. This has been relied upon by the Auditors.
(c) The estimates of future salary increases have been considered in
actuarial valuation after taking into consideration the impact of
inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as
supply and demand situation in the employment market.
(d) In terms of the Guidance Note on implementing the Accounting
Standard 15 (revised 2005), issued by the Accounting Standard Board of
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the provident fund set
up by the company is treated as defined benefit plan since the Company
has to meet the interest shortfall, if any. However, as at the end of
the year no shortfall remains unprovided for. As advised by an
independent actuary, it is not feasible to actuarially value the
liability considering that the rate of interest as notified by the
Government can vary annually. Further the pattern of investments for
investible funds is as prescribed by the Government.
Accordingly other related disclosures in respect of provident fund have
not been made.
(e) Basis used to determine expected rate of return on assets:
The expected return on plan assets is based on market expectation, at
the beginning of the period, for returns over the entire life of the
related obligations. The Gratuity Scheme is invested in a Group
Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance cash accumulation policy offered by Life
Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India. The information on the allocation
of the fund into major asset classes and expected return on each major
class are not readily available. We understand that LICs overall
portfolio of assets is well diversified and the long term return on the
policy is expected to be higher than the rate of return on Central
Government Bonds. Historically too, the returns declared by LIC on such
policies have been higher than Government Bond yields.
(g) Amount recognized as an expense in respect of leave encashment and
compensated absences is Rs. 617.25 Lac (Previous Year Rs. 484.71 Lac).
6. Revenue expenditure on Research and Development amounting to Rs.
830.97 Lac (Previous Year Rs. 638.70 Lac) is included under relevant
heads of expenditure. Capital expenditure relating to Research and
Development amounting to Rs. 123.07 Lac (previous year Rs. 1787.83 Lac)
has been included in fixed assets.

account with Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah Sahakar Bank Niyamitha, Gulberga.
