Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. The impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year is recognized as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. The tax effect is calculated on accumulated timing differences at the end of accounting year, based on effective tax rate substantively enacted by the balance date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized in future; however where there is unabsorbed debrciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. 1.10) Borrowing Cost: Financing costs relating to borrowed funds attributable to construction or acquisition of qualifying assets for the period up to the completion of construction or acquisition of such assets are included in the costs of the assets.

Impairment occurs where the carrying value exceeds the brsent value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of asset and its eventual disposal. The impairment loss to be expensed is determined as the excess of the carrying amount over the higher of the asset's net sales price or brsent value as determined above. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of debrciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. 1.13) Provision and Contingencies: The Company recognizes a provision when there is a brsent obligation as results of a past event and it is probable that it would involve an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of such obligation. Such provisions are not discounted to their brsent value and are determined based on the management's estimation of the obligation required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect management's current estimates. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made where it is more likely than not that a brsent obligation or possible obligation may result in or involve an outflow of resources. When no brsent or possible obligation exists and the possibility of an outflow of resources is remote, no disclosure is made. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. 1.14) Operating cycle: Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current. 2.
