dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning
of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The
dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds

liabilities are recognized for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognized for timing differences of items other than

Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value

1.16 Joint Venture Operations
The accounts of the Company reflect its share of the Assets,
Liabilities, Income and Expenditure of the Joint Venture Operations
which are accounted on the basis of the audited accounts of the Joint
Ventures on line-by-line basis with similar items in the Company''s
accounts to the extent of the participating interest of the Company as
per the Joint Venture Agreements.
In respect of contracts executed in Integrated Joint Ventures under
profit sharing arrangement (assessed as AOP under Income tax laws), the
services rendered to the Joint Ventures are accounted as income on
accrual basis. The profit / loss is accounted for, as and when it is
determined by the Joint Venture and the net investment in the Joint
Venture is reflected as investments, loans & advances or current
liabilities.
1.17 Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
1.18 Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events 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 (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.

year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of

price contracts, are recognised over the life of the contract using the
proportionate completion method, with contract costs determining the
degree of completion. Foreseeable losses on such contracts are
recognised when probable.
Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognised pro- rata over the
period of the contract.
Contract Income
a. The company follows the policy of recognizing the revenue as soon
as the work is completed, irrespective of the certification. However,
whenever the work gets certified, the company takes the certified
portion of the previously uncertified revenue in the turnover and
deducts the same amount from the uncertified portion of the revenue of
the respective financial year.

incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Exchange differences
arising on restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency
borrowings relating to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets are
adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and depreciated over the
remaining useful life of such assets. Machinery spares which can be
used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use is
expected to be irregular are capitalised and depreciated over the
useful life of the principal item of the relevant assets. Subsequent
expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if such
expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such
asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Fixed assets acquired and put to use for project purpose are
capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in the project cost

In so far as geographical segment is concerned, the company is carrying

1.14 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the
profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of
extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and
other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential
equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity
shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity
shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary
operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted
as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a
later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value
(i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive
potential equity shares are determined independently for each period
presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity
shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus
shares, as appropriate.
