construction activity nor is incidental thereto is charged to the Profit
and Loss Account. Income earned during construction period is deducted
from the total of the indirect expenditure. All direct capital
expenditure on expansion are capitalized. As regards indirect

to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends
relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The
weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the period
are adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue
to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split
(consolidation of shares). 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 are adjusted for the efects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. If the company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax
assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by
convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised
against future taxable profits.
At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognised
deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax assets to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
(o) Expenditure on New Projects and Substantial Expansion
Expenditure directly relating to construction activity is capitalised.
Indirect expenditure incurred during construction period is capitalised

assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segment on the
basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share
to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends
relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The
weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the period
are adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue
to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split
(consolidation of shares).
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 are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(r) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation
as a result of past event; 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 not discounted to its
present value and are determined based on 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. Liabilities whose future outcome cannot be ascertained with
reasonable certainty, are treated as contingent and disclosed by way of
Notes on Accounts.

systematic basis in the profit and loss account over the periods
necessary to match them with related costs which they are intended to
compensate. Such grants either be shown under 'other income' or
deducted in reporting the related expenses.
