All the cash credit accounts had become non-performing assets. The Company with the help of its parent company has entered into compromised settlement with its bankers and the compromised amount have been duly discharged during the year. These events or condition cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the management is making a detailed evaluation of the current situation, including assessment of potential reschedulement / renegotiations with creditors. Accordingly, the Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern and that no adjustments are required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

i) When the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the carrying amount less residual value of the asset is depreciated in full and adjusted against opening balance of retained earnings to the extent of Rs. 5.03 lacs.
