cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
2. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Indian GAAP (Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles) which requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as on the date of the
financial statements. The estimates and assumptions made and applied in preparing the financial state¬
ments are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions as on the date of
financial statements. However, due to uncertainties attached to the assumptions and estimates made
actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised pro¬
spectively in current and future periods.
