The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees.

(b) Accounting policies not specifically referred to otherwise are consistent and in consonance with generally accepted accounting principles.

2 USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.

3. FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost of fixed assets includes freight, duties, taxes and other incidental expenses relating to acquisition. Where fixed assets have been acquired from a country outside India, the cost of these fixed assets also includes exchange differences (favourable and unfavourable) arising in respect of foreign currency loans on other liabilities incurred specifically for the purpose of their acquisition. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying fixed assets for the period up to the completion of their acquisition or construction are capitalized.

Depreciation is provided on the Straight Line Method from the beginning of the month in which the asset is ready for use. The rates of depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 are considered as the minimum rates. If the managements estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the managements estimate of the useful life or remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation on assets has been provided at the rates based on the estimated useful lives of fixed assets
