1) Accounting Convention
 
 The financial statements are prepared on historical cost basis and
 based on accrual method of accounting and in accordance with applicable
 Accounting Standards.
 
 2) Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and
 assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and
 liabilities as on the date of the financial statements and the reported
 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Difference
 between the actual result and estimates are recognised in the period in
 which the results are known / materialised.
 
 3) Fixed Assets
 
 Fixed assets are stated at historical cost net of cenvat, inclusive of
 financing costs till commencement of commercial production and less
 accumulated depreciation.
 
 4) Impairment of Assets
 
 The Company evaluates impairment losses on the fixed assets whenever
 events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts
 may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired,
 the impairment loss is then recognised for the amount by which the
 carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount, which is
 the higher of an asset''s net selling price and value in use. For the
 purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the smallest
 level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.
 
 5) Expenditure during Construction Period
 
 In case of new projects/expansion of existing projects, revenue
 expenditure incurred during construction/pre-operative period in so far
 as such expenses relate to the period prior to the commencement of

 capitalised.
 
 6) Intangible Assets
 
 Certain technical know how and software cost are capitalised and
 recognised as Intangible Assets in terms of Accounting Standard -26
 Intangible Assets based on materiality, accounting prudence and
 significant economic benefits expected to flow there from for a period
 longer than one year.

 to the Profit and Loss Account.

 rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of
 the contract.

 Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates
 prevailing at the time the transactions are effected.
 
 Monetary items denominated in foreign currency at the year end are
 restated at year end rates. In case of items which are covered by
 forward exchange contracts, the differences between the year end rates
 and rate on the date of the contract is recognised as exchange
 difference and the premium paid on forward contracts is recognised over
 the life of the contract.

 Defined Benefit Plan
 
 The Company''s liabilities towards gratuity and leave encashment are
 determined using the projected unit credit method which considers each
 period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit
 entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final
 obligation.  Past services are recognised on a straight line basis over
 the average period until the amended benefits become vested. Actuarial
 gain and losses are recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss
 Account as income or expense. Obligation is measured at the present
 value of estimated future cash flows using a discounted rate that is
 determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on
 Government bonds where the currency and terms of the Government bonds
 are consistent with the currency and estimated terms of the defined
 benefit obligation.

  issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. In

 vesting period.

 is accounted for using the tax rates that have been enacted or
 substantively enacted on the Balance Sheet date. The deferred tax asset
 is recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a
 reasonable certainty that the assets will be realised in future.

 risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as finance
 leases. Such assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at
 the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease
 payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each
