 of revised Schedule does not impact recognition and measurement
 principles followed for preparation of Financial Statements.  However,
 it has significant impact on the presentation and disclosures made in
 the Financial Statements.  The Company has also reclassified the
 previous year figures in accordance with the requirements applicable in
 the current year.

 right to defer settlement of liability for atleast 12 months after the
 reporting date.
 
 All other assets / liabilities are classified as non- current.
 
 (c) Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with
 generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to
 make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting balances of
 assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent
 liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reporting
 amounts of income and expenditure during the year. Contingencies are
 recorded when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the
 amount can be reasonably estimated. Actual resulls could differ from
 such estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
 prospectively in the current and future periods.
