Provisions for legal claims, discounts, schemes and returns are recognized when the Company has a present
legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future
operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is
determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of
an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value
is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the
liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Company, such
obligation is disclosed as contingent liability.
Contingent Assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.
Contingent assets are disclosed in financial statements when in flow of economic benefits is probable on the basis
of judgement of management.

[2.23.1] Short Term Obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in
respect of employees'' service upto the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to
be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the
Balance Sheet.
[2.23.2] Other Long Term Employee Benefit Obligations
The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in
which the employees render the related service. The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of
defined benefits as leave encashment, pension and gratuity plans is the present value of defined benefit obligation
at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated by
actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of defined benefit obligations is determined by
discounting the same using the market yields at the end of the reporting period on Government Bonds, that have
terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
Net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of defined benefit obligation and fair
value of plan assets and the same is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized
in the period in which they occur, in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the
statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual
settlement is expected to occur.
Unavailed medical benefits are measured at actual cost during a block of3 years.
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes :
[a] Defined benefit plan which is Gratuity.
[b] Defined contribution plan which is Provident Fund only. The Organization pay provident fund to publicly
administered provident fund as per local regulations and apart from the contribution the Company has no
further payment obligation and the contribution are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are
due.
[c] One time medical benefits are measured at actual cost.
[2.24] Dividends
Dividends and interim dividends payable to the Companyâs shareholders are recognized as change in equity in the
period in which they are approved by the Companyâs shareholders and the Board of Directors respectively.
[2.25] EarningsperShare
[2.25.1] Basic Earnings pershare
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
* The profit/loss attributable to owners ofthe Company.
* By the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
[2.25.2] Diluted Earnings perShare
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account :
* The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity
shares, and
* The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
[2.26] Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Company are contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another
entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially
unfavorable to the Company.
The Companyâs financial liabilities include loans and borrowings, trade and other payables.
[a] Classification, initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value minus transactions costs and subsequently measured
at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the fair value at initial
recognition is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss or in the carrying amount of an asset if another
standard permits such inclusion, overthe period ofthe borrowings using the effective rate of interest.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
[b] Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR
(Effective Interest Rate) method. Gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss or in the
carrying amount of an asset if another standard permits such inclusion, when the liabilities are derecognized
as well through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
[c] Derecognition
Afinancial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
[2.27] FairValueMeasurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Normally at initial recognition, the transaction price is the
best evidence of fair value.
However, when the Company determines that transaction price does not represent the fair value, it uses inter-
alia valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable
inputs.
All financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements
are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This categorization is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole :
* Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
* Level 2-Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
in directly or indirectly observable.
* Level 3-Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
in unobservable.
For financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the
end of each reporting period.
[2.28] Financial Risk Management

various arrangements are entered into by the entity. The following table explains the sources of risk and how the
entity manages the risk in its financial statements.
