a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Accounts are prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention and to comply in all material aspects with the applicable accounting principles in India, the accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses during the reported period. Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates. b) REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognised when goods are supplied to customers and are recorded net of sales tax/ value added tax, trade Discounts, Rebate and Returns but includes excise duty. Dividend income on investments is accounted when the right to receive the dividend is established. Revenue in respect of Insurance/other claims, interest etc. is recognised only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made. c) EXPORT BENEFITS Export benefits under various schemes of Government of hidia are accounted on accrual basis on the basis of exports made and the value of imports made/ to be made there against. d) FIXED ASSETS Fixed Assets are recorded at Cost of acquisition. They are stated at historical costs including incidental expenses. e) DEPRECIATION/AMORTISATION i) On Tangible Assets: Depreciation has been calculated on straight-line basis in accordance with the provisions of section 205(2)(b) of the Companies Act, 1956 at the rates and in the manner specified in schedule XIV of the said act. Cost of Leasehold Land is amortised over the period of lease. Cost of Leasehold improvements is amortised over the primary period of lease. However, in cases where the company as a lessee has the right of renewal of lease and it is intended to renew for further periods, then the cost of such leasehold improvements is amortised over such extended period, not exceeding 10 years. ii) On Intangible Assets: a) Goodwill At the time of acquisition of the business, the difference between the cost of investments and the fair value of assets as at the date of acquisition is accounted for as goodwill. Goodwill is amortised over a period of 10 years. Goodwill on amalgamation in the nature of merger is amortised over a period of 5 years. b) Computer software is amortised on straight line basis over a period of 6 years. f) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable value. Recoverable amount is the 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 the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm''s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impaired loss recognised in prior accounting periods is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of the recoverable value. g) INVESTMENTS Investments are classified into non-current investments and current investments. Investments, which are intended to be held for more than one year, are classified as non- current investments and investments, which are intended to be held for less than one year, are classified as current investments. Non- current investments are accounted at cost and a provision for diminution is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of long term investments. Current investments are valued at cost or fair value whichever is lower. Investments include investments in shares of a company registered outside India. They are stated at cost by converting at the rate of exchange prevalent at the time of acquisition thereof. Any profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of the average cost of acquisition. h) TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on settlement of the transaction and on account of restatement of monetary items are dealt with in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk and outstanding as on balance sheet date are translated at year end exchange rates. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such forward exchange contracts are amortised as income or expense over the life of the contract. Gains/Losses on settlement of transactions arising on cancellation/renewal of forward exchange contracts are recognized as income or expense. i) HEDGE ACCOUNTING The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecasted transactions. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Accounting Standard 30 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AS-30). The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company''s policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company''s risk management strategy. Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value, and are remeasured at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in shareholders'' funds and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as they arise. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in shareholders'' funds is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period. j) INVENTORIES a) Raw materials are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower.

They are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and tax regulations as of the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets arising mainly on account of brought forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under tax laws are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of its realization, supported by convincing evidence. Deferred tax assets on account of other timing differences are recognized only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty of its realisation. m) BORROWING COST Interest and other costs in connection with the borrowing of the funds to the extent related/ attributed to the acquisition/construction of qualifying fixed assets are capitalised up to the date when such assets are ready for its intended use and all other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. n) LEASES Assets taken / given on lease by which all significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
