The management evaluates all recently issued or revised accounting standards on an on-going basis.

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the year. The key estimates made by the Company in preparing these financial statements comprise provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans, income taxes and the useful lives of assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of duties, taxes, freight and other directly attributable costs incurred to bring the assets to its working condition for the intended use and are net ofcenvat credits as applicable.

Cost of fixed assets not ready for their intended use as at the balance sheet date are disclosed as capital work-in- progress.

d) Depreciation

Variation, if any, detected on physical verification of stocks and obsolete and slow moving stocks are adjusted in the books of account appropriately.

h) Foreign currency transactions

Defined Contribution Plan - Provident Fund

Employees are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan, in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Both, the employee and the employer make monthly contributions to the plan at a predetermined rate (presently at 12%) of the employees' basic salary. The Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions.

Defined Benefit Plan - Gratuity

Employees in India are entitled to benefits under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees of the Company. The Plan provides a lump-sum payment to eligible employees at retirement or on termination of employment. The gratuity benefit conferred by the Company on its employees is equal to or greaterthan the statutory minimum. The year-end gratuity liability is determined based on actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

Leave encashment

Liability in respect of leave encashment becoming due or expected to be availed within one year from the balance sheet date is recognised on the basis of undiscounted value of estimated amount required to be paid or estimated value of benefit expected to be availed by the employees. Liability in respect of leave encashment becoming due or expected to be availed more than one year after the Balance Sheet date is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

j) Incometaxes

Provision for tax for the year comprises current income tax and deferred tax.

Current Tax

Provision for current income tax is made based on the estimated tax liability in accordance with the relevant tax rates and tax laws. Current income tax is payable on taxable profits, which differ from profit or loss in the financial statements. Current income tax is computed based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax

Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at 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. Unrecognized deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and recognized to the extent that it has become reasonably certain that future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

k) Borrowing cost

Borrowing Costs that are attributable to the acquisition and constructions of qualifying assets are capitalised as a part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs of the year are charged to revenue in the period in which they are incurred.

l) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). Forthe 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. In determining Earnings per Share, the Company considers the net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any extra-ordinary / exceptional item. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

m) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.

n) Impairment of assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. Recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost.

o) Segment Reporting

The company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the company as a whole.

Identification of Segments

The Company's Operating Businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products manufactured/traded, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products to different markets.

Allocation of Revenue and Costs

Direct revenues and direct expenses have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment according to sales of each segment to total sales of the Company.

Revenue and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to any of the segments on a reasonable basis, are generally included under "unallocated corporate expenses/lncome"
