c. Depreciation on tangible asset is recognised on a straight-line basis based on a useful life of the assets prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. If the management''s estimates of the useful life of an asset at the time of acquisition of assets 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 owing to their risk of higher obsolesce / wear & tear. The useful life of the assets has been reassessed based on the number of years for which the assets have already been put to use and the estimated minimum balance period for which the assets can be used in the company. The estimated life of property, plant and equipment has been determined as follows.

Estimated useful life has been tabulated below:
Nature of Assets	Useful Life (In Years)
Office Equipment	5
Furniture & Fixtures	10
Computers	3
Building	30
Vehicle	8

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. A rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed fifteen years from the date of when the asset is available for use in considered by the management. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortisation period is changed accordingly.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent Liabilities are recognized only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events due to occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Company, or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are provided for.

Contingent assets

Contingent Assets are not recognized in the financial statements. involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of economic resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

xii Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method. Under the indirect method, the net profit is adjusted for the effects of:

i. transactions of a non-cash nature;

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) are reflected as such in the Statement of Cash Flows.

(b) Other Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred.

xiv Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average numbers of equity shares are adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in the rights issue, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
