profit from sale of investments of Rs. 9.75 lakhs (Rs. 146.20 lakhs in
the previous year) and reversal of provisions made towards doubtful

fixed assets, aggregating to Rs.607.08 lakhs only (Rs.1357.39 lakhs in

portfolio. Besides making investments in quoted and unquoted
securities, the Company makes investments in fixed deposits with
renowned banks, units of mutual funds and inter-corporate deposits.

restructuring is done keeping in mind the market environment. Since

investments in mutual funds.
The details of the Company's investments, including a portfolio summary
and analysis of securities held are given in Schedule "D" to the

Company's quoted investments as on March 31, 2011 was Rs.2579.62 lakhs,
as compared to its cost of Rs.3772.57 lakhs. However total provision of
Rs. 621.85 lakhs made towards diminution in value of investments has
been considered adequate in view of inherent strength of the

invested Rs.1016.75 lakhs in shares / mutual funds and sold / redeemed
shares / mutual funds for value of Rs.643.91 lakhs.
