Preparation of financial statements in accordance with Indian generally
accepted accounting principles, the applicable accounting standards
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the
relevant provisions of the Companies Act, require our management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that
affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, disclosures
of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses. Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important
to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations
and require the application of significant assumptions and estimates of
our management. While we believe that all aspects of our financial
statements should be studied and understood in assessing our current
and expected financial condition and results, the following significant
accounting policies warrant additional attention:

Balance sheet date there is any deduction that a previously assessed
impairment loss no longer exists then such loss is reversed and the
asset is restated to that effect.
