The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosure related to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples of such estimates include estimates of expected contract costs to be incurred to complete software development, provision for doubtful debts, and the useful life of fixed assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
C. Revenue recognition
Revenue from fixed-price contracts is recognized principally on the basis of completed milestones as specified in the contracts, on a percentage of completion basis. Where milestones are not representative of the percentage of completion method, estimates of work completed to the Balance Sheet date are used to recognize revenue on fixed-price contracts. Revenue from software developed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized as per the terms of specific contracts.
D. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. Direct costs are capitalized until the assets are ready to be put to use.

Non Monetary Foreign Currency Items are carried at Cost.
