Current Assets are expected to realize the stated values if realized in
the ordinary course of business.

for which the transfer formalities of title in the name of the company
is pending due to non-receipt of requisite permissions from the
concerned authorities.
3. Capital Work in Progress represents advance payment and expenses
incurred on setting up storage infrastruc- ture. In view of the down
turn in the economy no further expenditure was incurred during the year
and the management is confident that the present estimated realisable
value of these assets is more than the carrying amount of the asset in
the books of the company.

a) Claims against the company not acknowledged as debts- Rs.433.42
Lakhs (previous year -Rs.291.02 lakhs).

filed by the Supplier with the notified authority under the Micro,

the Companies Act, 1956 (cess on turnover) since the rules specifying

7. Deferred Revenue Expenditure:
The Company embarked on an advertisement Campaign and has spent Rs.
499.64 lakhs as at the year ended 31st March 2011. In the opinion of
the management, the benefit of this exercise is expected to accrue over
an extended period and is not exhausted during the period covered by
the Statement of Profit and Loss and therefore, this expenditure has
been treated as deferred revenue expenditure. The same is being charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss over a period of five years,
commencing from the accounting year 2010-11. Accordingly a sum of Rs.
99.93 lakhs was written off to the Statement of Profit and Loss during
the year and the balance of Rs. 199.85 lakhs is to be charged to
Statement of Profit and Loss in the subsequent years.

disputed by the Company before the Appellate Authorities and the
concerned Assessing Officer respectively. Based on the decisions of the
Appellate Authorities and the interpretations of the relevant
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Company is of the opinion
that the demands raised are most likely to be deleted. Accordingly no
provision has been made for this demand.
