2.6 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is
probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net
present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as
a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed
when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non
-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Claims against the Company where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as
contingent liabilities

Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never
be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is
recognised

2.7 Earning per share

Basic earning per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year

For the purpose of calculating the 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. The dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as at beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at
a later date.

Defined contribution plans -

Company''s contribution paid / payable during the year to Provident Fund & Employees State Insurance are recognized in the
Statement of Profit & Loss. Provident Fund & Employees State Insurance contributions are made to a government administered
Provident Fund & Employees State Insurance Corporation towards which the company has no further obligation beyond its monthly
contribution. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due.

Defined benefit plans -

For Agra, Jaipur and Lucknow units, the Company makes annual contributions to gratuity funds administered by the trustees for

to vested employees on retirement death or termination of employment of an amount based on the respective employee''s last
drawn salary and tenure of employment. The Company accounts for the net present value of its obligations for gratuity benefits,
based on an independent actuarial valuation, determined on the basis of the projected unit credit method, carried out as at the
Balance Sheet date. The obligation determined as aforesaid less the fair value of the plan assets is reported as a liability or assets
as of the reporting date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Other Comprehensive Income and reflected
in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method.
