Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of
such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other

Export sales in foreign currency are accounted at the exchange rates
prevailing on the dates of the transactions.

prevailing at the time of the transaction. As at the balance sheet
date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency
are reported at closing rates. Gains or losses on settlement /
restatement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in the
Profit and Loss account in the period in which they arise.

laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a
reasonable certainty of realization, except for unabsorbed depreciation
and business loss, in respect of which deferred tax is recognized only
if the Company is virtually certain of having sufficient taxable income
in future against which the loss/depreciation can be set off.
(xiii) Impairment of Assets:
Impairment loss, if any, is provided to the extent, the carrying amount
of assets exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is
higher of an asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in
use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to
arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the
end of its useful life.
(xiv) Provisions & Contingent Liabilities:
Provisions are recognised in respect of probable obligations, the
amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are
disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past
events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the company.
(xv) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities as of the date of financial statements and the
reported amount of expenses of the year. Actual results could differ
from these estimates. Any revision to such accounting estimates is
recognized in the accounting period in which such revision takes place.
