II Use of estimates The presentation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities 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. III Fixed Assets and Depreciation / Amortisation Fixed Assets including intangible assets are stated at historical cost (net of cenvat credit) less accumulated depreciation/ amortisation thereon and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on Straight Line Method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to The Companies Act, 1956. Assets costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are depreciated at hundred percent rate on prorata basis in the year of purchase. Intangible assets consisting of trademarks, designs, technical knowhow, non- compete fees and other intangible assets are amortised on Straight Line Method from the date they are available for use, over the useful lives of the assets (10/20 years), as estimated by the Management considering the terms of agreement. Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease. IV Leases Lease rental for assets taken on operating lease are charged to the Profit And Loss Account in accordance with Accounting Standard 19 on Leases.

VII Inventories Inventories consisting of raw and packing materials, stores and spares, work in progress and finished goods are stated at lower of cost (Raw and Packing Material - Specific Identificaiton Method; Stores and Spares - FIFO basis; Work in Progress and Finished Goods - Weighted Average Method) and net realisable value. VIII Research and Development The research and development cost is accounted in accordance with Accounting Standard - 26 ‘Intangible Assets''. All related revenue expenditure incurred on original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding up to the time when it is possible to demonstrate probable future economic benefits, is recognised as research expenses and charged off to the profit and loss account, as incurred. All subsequent expenditure incurred for product development on the application of research findings or other knowledge upon demonstration of probability of future economic benefits, prior to the commencement of production, to the extent identifiable and possible to segregate are accumulated and carried forward as development expenditure under Capital Work in Progress, to be capitalised as an intangible asset on completion of the project. In case a project does not proceed as per expectations / plans, the same is abandoned and the amount classified as development expenditure under Capital Work in Progress is charged off to the profit and loss account. IX Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate that approximates the actual rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency at the year end are translated at year end rates. In respect of monetary items, which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the year end rate and the rate on the date of the contract is recognised as exchange difference and the premium on such forward contracts is recognised over the life of the forward contract. The exchange differences arising on settlement / translation are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. X Derivative Accounting: Forward Contracts in the nature of highly probable forcasted transactions / firm commitments entered into for hedging the risk of foreign currency exposure are accounted for on the principles of prudence as enunciated in Accounting Standard 1 (AS-1) “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”. Pursuant to this, losses, if any, on Mark to Market basis, are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account and gains are not recognised on prudent basis. XI Taxes on Income Provision for taxation comprises of Current Tax and Deferred Tax. Current Tax provision has been made on the basis of reliefs and deductions available under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax resulting from “timing differences” between taxable and accounting income is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as 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 can be realised in future. However, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each Balance sheet date. XII Employee Benefits (a) The Company''s contribution in respect of provident fund is charged to Profit and Loss Account each year. (b) With respect to gratuity liability, Company contributes to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under LIC''s Group Gratuity policy.

Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. XIV Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provisions are recognised only when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Contingent liability is disclosed for (i) Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or (ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can not be made. Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. XV Government Grants / Subsidy Government grants, if any, are accounted when there is reasonable assurance that the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to them and it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made. Capital Subsidy in nature of Government Grants related to specific fixed assets is accounted for where collection is reasonably certain and the same is shown as a deduction from the gross value of the asset concerned in arriving at its book value and accordingly the depreciation is provided on the reduced book value. XVI Impairment of Assets 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 the asset or the recoverable amount of the 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 Profit and Loss Account. 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 lower of recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss being recognised. |
