b. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to
be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on
the date of the financial statements and the report amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between
actual results and estimates are recognized in the accounting period
in which the results are known / materialized.
c. Fixed Assets:
i Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation, which includes effect of impairment. Historical cost
comprises of the acquisition price and all direct and indirect costs
that are attributable in bringing the assets to their working
condition for intended use.
ii All expenses during construction are allocated to the respective
asset proportionately.
iii Adjustments arising from exchange rate variations relating to
borrowings/ liabilities for the fixed assets are capitalised.
iv The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet
date on value in use basis to assess whether they are recorded in
excess of their estimated recoverable amount. If the carrying value
exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, assets are written down to
their estimated recoverable amount. 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, (Also referto policy on Leases and
