reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as on the date of the
financial statements. The estimates and assumptions made and applied in preparing the financial statements
are based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and actions as on the date of financial
statements. However, due to uncertainties attached to the assumptions and estimates made actual results
could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in
current and future periods.

C. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

(i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods
have been passed to the buyer and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection. Sale of goods is recognized
net of GST and other taxes as the same is recovered from customers and passed on to the government.

(ii) Interest is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the
rate applicable.

(iii) Other items of income and expenses are recognized on accrual basis.

the investments, if, in the opinion of the management, the same is considered to be other than temporary
in nature. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal
proceeds is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual basis. On disposal
of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or
credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss."

F. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
(i) Tangible Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, and accumulated
impairment loss, if any. Historical cost comprises of the purchase price including duties and non-refundable
taxes, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met, directly attributable expenses incurred to bring the
asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of being operated in the manner intended
by management and initial estimate of decommissioning, restoring and similar liabilities.

Subsequent costs related to an item of property, plant and equipment are recognized as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component
accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are
recognized in statement of profit and loss during the reporting period when they are incurred.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. The gains or losses arising from de-recognition are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in
the statement of profit and loss when the asset is de-recognized.

G. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Depreciation is calculated using the Written-down value over their estimated useful lives.

H. INVENTORIES:

Items of inventories are measured at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises of
all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing them to their respective present
location and condition. Cost of raw materials, stores and spares, packing material and fuel are determined
on weighted average basis. Cost of WIP is determined on absorption costing method. Valuation of FG is cost
or NRV, whichever is less.

I. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS:

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates
the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating
unit''s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual
asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other
assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount,
the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing 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 the risks specific to the asset. In
determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are
prepared separately for each of the Company''s cash-generating units to which the individual assets are
allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years. For longer
periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
Company estimates the asset''s or cash-generating unit''s recoverable amount. A previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset''s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the
carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in
prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

J. "RETIREMENT BENEFITS:

(i) Short-term employee benefits

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amounted in the statement
of Profit and loss for the year which includes benefits like salary, wages, bonus and are recognized as
expenses in the period in which the employee renders the related service

(ii) Post-employment benefits:

Defined Contribution Plan ''Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution
scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The
Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an
employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before
the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is
recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid
exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized
as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a
cash refund.

Defined benefit Plans Unfunded Plan: The Company has a defined benefit plan for Post-employment benefit
in the form of Gratuity.

Liability for the above defined benefit plan is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the Balance Sheet
date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial method used for measuring the liability is the
Projected Unit Credit method.

"Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount
that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

''The Company recognizes termination benefit as a liability and an expense when the Company has a present
obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, they are measured
at present value of future cash flows using the discount rate determined by reference to market yields at
the balance sheet date on government bonds."

K. BORROWING COST

Borrowing costs are interest, commitment charges and other costs incurred by an enterprise in connection
with Short Term/ Long Term borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of the cost of the assets, upto the date the asset is
ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in
the year in which they are incurred.

L. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

"The earnings in ascertaining the Company''s EPS comprises the net profit after tax attributable to equity
shareholders and includes the post-tax effect of any extraordinary items. The number of shares used in
computing basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/ (loss) after tax attributable to Equity
Shareholders (including the post-tax effect of extra ordinary 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 which could have been issued on 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.
Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period."

M. TAXATION:

Tax expense for the year comprising current tax & deferred tax are considered in determining the net profit
for the year. Provision is made for current tax and based on tax liability computed in accordance with
relevant tax laws applicable to the Company. Provision is made for deferred tax for all timing difference
arising between taxable incomes & accounting income at currently enacted or substantively enacted tax
rates, as the case may be. Deferred tax assets (other than in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry
forward losses) are recognized only if there is reasonable certainty that they will be realized and are
reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each Balance Sheet date. ¹⁴

Deferred tax assets, in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws are
recognized only to the extent that where is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be recognized. Deferred
Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liability are been offset wherever the Company has a legally enforceable right
to set off current tax assets against current tax liability and where the Deferred Tax Asset and Deferred Tax
Liability relate to Income taxes is levied by the same taxation authority.

''Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

Defined benefit Plans

"Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

''The Company recognises termination benefit as a liability and an expense when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, they are measured at present value of future cash flows using the discount rate determined by reference to market yields at the balance sheet date on government bonds.

L. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

"The earnings in ascertaining the Company''s EPS comprises the net profit after tax attributable to equity shareholders and includes the post tax effect of any extraordinary items. The number of shares used in computing basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax attributable to Equity Shareholders (including the post tax effect of extra ordinary 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 which could have been issued on 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. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period."

Deferred tax assets (other than in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses) are recognized only if there is reasonable certainty that they will be realized and are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets, in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws are recognized only to the extent that where is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be recognized. Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liability are been offset wherever the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liability and where the Deferred Tax Asset and Deferred Tax Liability relate to Income taxes is levied by the same taxation authority.
