Classification of Assets and Liabilities into current and non-Current
The Company presents its assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/ noncurrent classification.
As asset is treated as current when it is:
a) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
b) held primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
d) cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for atleast twelve months after the reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is treated as current when:
a) it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
d) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their Realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle being a period within twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
1.4 Use of judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company''s financial statements required management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment in the future periods in the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected.
In the Company''s accounting policies, management has made judgments in respect of evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period that may have significant risk of causing material adjustmentsto the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
a) Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets: The Company has estimated useful life of the Property, Plant and Equipment as specified in Schedule II to Companies Act, 2013. However, the actual useful life for individual equipments could turn out to be different; there could be technology changes, breakdown, unexpected failure leading to impairment or complete discard. Alternatively, the equipment may continue to provide useful service well beyond the useful assumed.
b) Fair value measurement of financial instruments: When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities cannot be measured based on quoted process in active market, the fair value is measured using valuation techniques including book value and discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not possible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.
c) Impairment of financial and non-financial assets: The impairment provisions for the financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the input for the impairment calculations, based on Company''s past history, existing market conditions, technology, economic developments as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
d) Taxes: Taxes have been paid / provided, exemptions availed, allowances considered etc. are based on the extent laws and the Company''s interpretation of the same based on the legal advice received wherever required. These could differ in the view taken by the authorities, clarifications issued subsequently by the government and court, amendments to statues by the government etc.
e) Defined benefit plans: The cost of defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefits plans and the present value of such obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future.
f) Provisions: The Company makes provisions for leave encashment and gratuity, based on report received from the independent actuary. These valuation reports use complex valuation models using not only the inputs provided by the Company but also various other economic variables. Considerable judgment is involved in the process. However, during the FY 2022-2023, company has no such obligations
g) Contingencies: A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a resultof past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligations at the end of the reporting period. However, the actual liability could be considerably different.
1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of recoverable taxes, trade discounts and rebates less accumulated depreciation and _impairment loss, if any. The cost of tangible assets comprises its purchase price, borrowing cost,
any costs directlyattributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, initial estimation of any decommissioning obligationsand finance cost.
When significant parts of the Property, Plant and Equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognizes the replaced part, and recognizes the new part with its own associated useful life and depreciated accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement, if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Cost of Software directly identified with hardware is recognised along with the cost of hardware.
An item of Property, Plant and Equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or lossarising on derecognition of the asset is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.
Capital Work-in- progress includes cost of Property, Plant and Equipment which are not ready for theirintended use.
The residual values and useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end, and changes, if any, are accounted prospectively.
Depreciation on the Property, Plant and Equipment is provided over the useful life of assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 using Written down Value method stated as under:
Sr. No. |

Property, Plant and Equipment which are added/disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro rata basis with reference to the month of addition/ deletion.
In line with the provisions of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013, the Company depreciates significant components of the main asset (which have different useful lives as compared to the main asset) based on the individual useful life of those components. Useful life for such components has been assessed based on the historical experience and internal technical inputs.
Intangible Assets are recognised only if they are separately identifiable and the Company expects to receive future economic benefits arising out of them. Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisitionnet of recoverable taxes less accumulated amortization/ depletion and impairment loss, if any. The costcomprises purchase price, borrowing costs, and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on straight line basis over their useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite
useful life are reviewed at each year end. The amortised expense on intangible assets with finite lives and impairmentloss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed periodically at each financial year. However, during the FY 2022-2023, company not having any intangible assets.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. The impairment loss on intangible assets with indefinite life is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.7 Impairment of Non- Financial assets
At each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognised in the previous periods. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognised when the carryingamount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unlessthe asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is consideredimpaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that relects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm deposits as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered as an integral part of the Company''s cash management.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Bank Balances other than above
Dividend escrow account balances, deposits with banks as margin money for guarantees issued by the banks, deposits kept as security deposits for statutory authorities are accounted as bank balances otherthan Cash and Cash equivalents.
1.9 Non-current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through asale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject onlyto terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.
A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financialliability or equity instrument of another entity.
(i) Classification:
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fairvalue through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit and loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
(ii) Initial recognition and measurement
All Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assetsnot recognised at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are attributableto the acquisition of the financial asset.
(iii) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method (EIR), if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. The losses arising from the impairmentare recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iv) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if thesefinancial assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collectingcontractual cash lows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. On derecognition of the assets, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in Other comprehensive income is transferred from Other comprehensive income to Reserve & Surplus.
(v) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in profit and loss.
(vi) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
A. Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss.
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes incredit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
(i) Classification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, exceptfbr financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.
(ii) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, in the case of loans, borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities include trade and otherpayables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.
(iii) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are re-measured at fair value through statement of profit and loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through statement of profit and loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.
(iv) Loans and borrowings
Interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR amortization process. The EIRamortization is included as finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(v) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, suchan exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(vi) Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The gain or loss in the fair values is taken to Statement of Profit and Loss at the end of every period. Profit or loss on cancellations / renewals of forward contracts and options are recognised as income or expense during the period.
C. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Company measures certain financial assets and financial liabilities including derivatives and defined benefit plans at fair value.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowingof funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
1.13 Provisions, Contingent liabilities, Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that outflows of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligations at the end of the reporting period. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the changes in the provision due to the passage of time are recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the case of:
a present obligation arising from the past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
a present obligation arising from the past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
1.14 Employee BenefitsA. Short Term Benefits
Short Term Benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statementof Profit and Loss of the period in which the related service is rendered.
B. Post-Employment benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Gratuity (Unfunded)
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity - a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement,death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months. Vestingoccurs upon completion of five years of service and is payable thereafter on occurrence of any of above events.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date, which recognised in each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in the net interest on the net defined liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not re-classified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods. Past service costis recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of plan amendment.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit plan liability or asset.
The Company recognizes the following changes in the net denied benefit obligations under employee benefit expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss:
Service costs comprising of current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses oncurtailments and non-routine settlements
During the FY 2022-2023, Provisions for Gratuity has not been taken into consideration, since there is no employee with a continuous service for more than 5 years.
C. Other Long-Term Employee Benefits - Compensated Absences/ Leave Encashment (Unfunded)
The Company provides for encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment / availment. The Company makes provisions for compensated absences based on an independent actuarial valuation carried out at each reporting date, using Projected Unit Cost Method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company operates in one operating segments namely Consulting Services and Investments.
The Company derives revenue from interest on loan granted, dividend as also by rendering of professional services.
In accordance with Ind AS-115, the revenue is recognized at a time when performance obligation is Satisfied
a) Interest Income on loan / deposits others are recognised on accrual basis, while Dividend /Interest on shares & securities are recognised when right to receive the Dividend are established.
b) Profit / (Loss) on sale of Investment in shares & securities, are recognised upon transfer of control of such investment.
c) Management Consultancy Fees/ Income are accounted at a time when performance obligation is satisfied in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those services.
The Company provides current tax based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 applicable tothe Company.
Deferred tax is recognised using the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets andliabilities and their carrying amount.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that itis probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, andthe carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in theyear when the asset is realized or liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have beenenacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entityand the same taxation authority.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit after tax or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. In case there are any dilutive securities during the period presented, the impact of the same is given to arrive at diluted earnings per share.
The Company has applied Ind AS 116 w.e.f 1.4.2019. In accordance with Ind AS 116, the Company recognises right of use assets representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of right of use asset measures at inception shall comprise ofthe amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement date less any lease incentive received plus any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate of cost to be incurred by lessee in dismantling and removing underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right of use asset is subsequently measured atcost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for any re- measurement of lease liability. The right of use assets is depreciated using the Straight Line Method from the commencement date over the charter of lease term or useful life of right of use asset. The estimated useful lives of right of use assets are
determined on the same basis as those of Property, Plant and Equipment. Right of use asset are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is subsequently re-measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modification or to reflect revised-in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company recognizes amount of re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to write off use asset and statement of profit and loss depending uponthe nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of right of use assets is reduced to zero and there is further reduction in measurement of lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less unless renewable on long term basis and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on Straight Line basis over lease term.
1.19 Foreign exchange transactions
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. All monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. All exchange differences arising on translation of monetary items aredealt with in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the
Company has ascertained its operating cycle being a period of one year
for the purpose of classification of assets and liabilities as current
and non-current.
b) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements 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

in which the results are known / materialised.
c) Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets are stated at their cost of acquisition or construction
less accumulated depreciation. Cost of acquisition or construction is
inclusive of direct cost (net of recoverable taxes), incidental
expenses and borrowing cost related to such acquisition or
construction.
d) Depreciation / Amortisation
Effective from 01st April 2014, depreciation is charged using written
down value method on the basis of useful life of the fixed assets. The
Company has adopted useful life of fixed assets as given in Part 'C' of
Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 in respect of all fixed assets.
Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over their
estimated useful life. Depreciation Charge/Amortisation on impaired
assets is provided by adjusting in the future/remaining periods so as
to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount over its remaining
useful life.
e) Investments:
Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date, on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long term investments.
The Investments are classified as Quoted & Unquoted Investments.
Long term Investments are stated at cost less provision for permanent
diminution in value of such Investments. Current Investments are
stated at lower of cost and fair market value, determined by category
of Investments. Investments in Subsidiaries are accounted on the cost
method, whereby the company recognizes only dividends received from the
subsidiary as income. In case of losses made by the subsidiary, other
than temporary, adequate provision is made to recognize any decline in

and Exchange Board of India (Employees Stock Option Scheme and Employees
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and Guidance Note on Accounting
for Employee Share-based payments issued by Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. The Company follows the fair value method for
option pricing and accordingly the fair value of the option as of the
date of the grant of the option over the exercise price of the option is
recognized as employee compensation cost and amortised on straight line
basis over the vesting period
j) Revenue Recognition :
Income From Operations
a) Interest Income on loan / deposits are recognised on accrual basis,
while Dividend / Interest on shares & securities are recognised when
right to receive the Dividend are established.
b) Profit / (Loss) on sale of Investment in shares & securities, are

k) Borrowing Costs:
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready
for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets,
until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their
intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in
Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
l) Earnings per Share (EPS):
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. Earnings
considered in ascertaining the Company's earnings per share is the net
profit for the period after deducting preference dividends and any
attributable tax thereto for the period. The weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods
presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the
conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of
equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
m) Taxation:
a) Current Tax: A provision for current income tax is made on the
taxable income using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.
b) Deferred Tax: Deferred tax arising on account of timing differences
and which are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods is
recognized using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted. Deferred tax assets are not recognized unless
there is a virtual certainty with respect to the reversal of the same
in future.
n) Impairment of Assets :
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
