2.2 Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of Assets and Liabilities (including Contingent Liabilities) and the reported Income and Expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialise.

2.3 Fixed Assets (including intangible assets) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (including amortisation).

Vehicles are depreciated over Straight Line Method at 20% as determined based on their useful lives. These rates are higher than the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the 1956 Act. Intangible Assets (other than Goodwill arising on Amalgamation fully amortised in earlier years and Computer Software which are amortised over a period of two to five years) are amortised on Straight Line Method over a period of five years. Spares that can be used only with particular items of Plant and Machinery and such usage is expected to be irregular are depreciated over a period not exceeding the useful lives of Plant and Machinery with which such spares can be used.

2.5 Inventories are valued at lower of Cost and Net Realisable Value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost is determined on the Weighted Average basis. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such inventories to its present location and condition and includes, where applicable, appropriate overheads.

2.6 Revenue from sale of products are exclusive of Sales Tax and returns and are recognised when significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods is transferred to the buyer and the revenue is measurable at the time of sale and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection of the sale consideration. Revenue from services are recognised when services are rendered and related costs are incurred.
