The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The accounting policies applied by the Company are consistent with those used in the previous year.

1.1 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

(b) Tangible Fixed assets

Fixed Assets are stated at cost or revalued amount, as the case may be, less accumulated depreciation/amortization and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price inclusive of duties (net of cenvat / VAT), taxes, incidental expenses, erection / commissioning expenses etc. up to the date, the asset is ready for its intended use. In case of revaluation of fixed assets, the original cost as written-up by the value is considered in the accounts and the differential amount is transferred to revaluation reserve.

Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use as per technical assessment is expected to be irregular, are capitalized and depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets.

(c) Depreciation / Amortization

The classification of plant and machinery into continuous and non-continuous process is done as per technical certification and depreciation thereon is provided accordingly.

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided under Straight Line Method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

Depreciation on fixed assets added / disposed off during the period is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition/disposal.

Leasehold properties are depreciated over the primary period of lease or their respective useful lives, whichever is shorter.

In case of impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life of the asset. Intangible assets being Specialized Software are amortized on a straight line basis over a period of 3 years.

(d) Fixed Assets Acquired under Lease

Finance Lease:

Assets acquired under lease agreements which effectively transfer to the company substantially all the risk and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of minimum lease payment at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of their liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the expenses account. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized.

Operating Lease

Leases where the less or effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of the ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(e) Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition / construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as a part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

(f) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on external/internal factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which represents the greater of the net selling price and Value in use' of the assets. In assessing the Value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the assets.

(g) Government grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grants/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant or subsidy relates to an expenses item, it is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate.

Where the grant or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted from the gross value of the asset concerned in arriving at the carrying amount of the related asset.

Government grants of the nature of promoters' contribution are credited to capital reserve and treated as a part of shareholders' funds.

(h) Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as Current investments. All other investments are classified as Non-current / long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and market value on individual investment basis. Non-current / Long Term Investments are considered at cost, unless there is an "other than temporary" decline in value, in which case adequate provision is made for the diminution in the value of Investments.

(i) Inventories

Raw materials and stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of raw materials and stores and spares is determined on weighted average / FIFO basis.

Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty and is determined on annual weighted average basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(j) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. The Company collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.

The deferred tax for timing differences between the book and tax profits for the year is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been substantively enacted as of the Balance Sheet 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 tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. If the Company has carry forward unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

(o) Segment reporting

Identification of segments

The Company has identified that its business segments are the primary segments. The Company's businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products/services, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different product / services and serves different markets.

Segment accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with those of the Company's accounting policies.

(p) Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings per Share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

(q) Provisions

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of 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 made in terms of Accounting Standard 29 are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimates required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.

(r) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(s) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

(t) Excise Duty

Excise duty on finished goods stock lying at the factories is accounted for at the point of manufacture of goods and accordingly, is considered for valuation of finished goods stock lying in the factories as on the balance sheet date.

(a) Change in accounting policy

Presentation and disclosure of financial statements

During the year ended 31st March, 2012, revised Schedule VI notified under the Companies Act, 1956, has become applicable to the Company, for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The adoption of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However, it has significant impact on the presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the requirements of revised Schedule VI applicable in the current year.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

(c) Fixed assets

Fixed Assets are stated at cost or revalued amount,

as the case may be, less accumulated depreciation/ amortization and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price inclusive of duties (net of cenvat / VAT), taxes, incidental expenses, erection / commissioning expenses etc. up to the date, the asset is ready for its intended use. In case of revaluation of fixed assets, the original cost as written-up by the valuer is considered in the accounts and the differential amount is transferred to revaluation reserve.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life of the asset. Intangible assets being Specialized Software are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 3 years.

Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use as per technical assessment is expected to be irregular, are capitalised and depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets.

(d) Depreciation / Amortization

The classification of plant and machinery into continuous and non-continuous process is done as per technical certification and depreciation thereon is provided accordingly.

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided under Straight Line Method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

Depreciation on fixed assets added / disposed off during the period is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition/disposal.

Leasehold properties are depreciated over the primary period of lease or their respective useful lives, whichever is shorter.

In case of impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.

(e) Fixed Assets Acquired under Lease

Finance Lease:

Assets acquired under lease agreements which effectively transfer to the company substantially all the risk and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of minimum lease payment at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate

of interest on the remaining balance of their liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the expenses account. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized.

Operating Lease :

Leases where the lesson effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of the ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(f) Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition /construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as a part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

(g) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on external/internal factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which represents the greater of the net selling price and ‘Value in use' of the assets. In assessing the Value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the assets.

(h) Government grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grants/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant or subsidy relates to an expenses item, it is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate.

Where the grant or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted from the gross value of the asset concerned in arriving at the carrying amount of the related asset.

Government grants of the nature of promoters' contribution are credited to capital reserve and treated as a part of shareholders' funds.

(i) Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as Current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and market value on individual investment basis. Long Term Investments are considered at cost, unless there is an "other than temporary" decline in value, in which case adequate provision is made for the diminution in the value of Investments.

(j) Inventories

Raw materials and stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of raw materials and stores and spares is determined on weighted average / FIFO basis.

Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty and is determined on annual weighted average basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(k) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. The Company collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic

benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.

(l) Foreign currency translation

(o) Income taxes

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

The deferred tax for timing differences between the book and tax profits for the year is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been substantively enacted as of the Balance Sheet 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 tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. If the Company has carry forward unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized.

Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

(p) Segment reporting

Provisions made in terms of Accounting Standard 29 are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimates required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.

(s) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(t) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

The deferred tax for timing differences between the book and tax profits for the year is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been substantially enacted as of the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. If the company has carry forward unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

(xvi) Segment Reporting

a) Identification of segments:

The company has identified that its business segments are the primary segments. The Company’s businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products/services, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different product / services and serves different markets.
