A.  Basis of preparation
 
 These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
 generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical
 cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements have been
 prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting
 standards notified under Section 211 (3C) [Companies (Accounting
 Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended] and other relevant provisions of
 the Companies Act, 1956.The financial statements are presented in
 Indian Rupees in Lakhs.
 
 This is the first year of application of the revised Schedule VI to the
 Companies Act, 1956 for the preparation of financial statements of the
 company. The revised schedule VI introduces some significant conceptual
 changes as well as new disclosures.  These include classification of
 all assets and liabilities into current and non-current. The previous
 year figures have also undergone a major reclassification to comply
 with the requirements of the revised Schedule VI.
 
 Use of estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
 Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires manage- ment to make
 judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
 accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
 and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date
 of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
 estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
 ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
 prospectively in current and future periods.

 enacted by the Balance Sheet date. At each Balance Sheet date, the
 Company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.
 
 I.  Employee benefits:
 
 Defined contribution plans

 sum payment to vested employees at retire- ment, death, incapacitation
 or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective
 employee''s salary and the tenure of employment. The Company''s liability
 is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) by
 an indepen- dent actuary at the end of each year. Actuarial losses/
 gains are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in
 which they arise.
 
 Compensated Absences: Accumulated compensated absences, which are
 expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the
 year end are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation
 towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating
 compensated absences.

 beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long
 term employee benefits. The Company''s liability is actuarially
 determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) by an independent
 actuary at the end of each year. Actuarial losses/ gains are recognised
 in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.
 
 J.  Provision and Contingent Liabilities
 
 The Company recognises a provision when there is a present obligation
 as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of
 resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
 obligation. A disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is
 possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will
 not, require an outflow of resources.  Where there is a possible
 obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of
 resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
 
 Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined
 based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance
 sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted
 to reflect current best estimates.
 
 K.  Impairment of asset
 
 The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any
 indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
 exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If
 such recoverable amount of asset or the recoverable amount of cash
 generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying
 amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The
 reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the
 Statement of Profit and Loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an
 indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer
 exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected
 at the recoverable amount.
 
 L.  Operating lease
 
 Lease rentals in respect of assets acquired under operating lease are
 recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a
