17.Political instability or changes in the Government could adversely affect economic conditions in India and consequently our
business.
Our Company is incorporated in India, derives its revenues in India and all of its assets are located in India. Consequently, the
Company‘s performance and the liquidity of the Equity Shares may be affected by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest
rates, Government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability and other political and economic developments affecting India. The
Government has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise a significant influence over many aspects of the economy.
18. Financial instability in Indian financial markets could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial
condition.
The Indian economy and financial markets are significantly influenced by worldwide economic, financial and market conditions. Any
financial turmoil, especially in the United States of America, Europe or China, may have a negative impact on the Indian economy.
Although economic conditions differ in each country, investors' reactions to any significant developments in one country can have
adverse effects on the financial and market conditions in other countries. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems,
particularly in other emerging markets, may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets. The current global financial
turmoil, an outcome of the sub-prime mortgage crisis, which originated in the United States of America, has led to a loss of investor
confidence in worldwide financial markets. Indian financial markets have also experienced the contagion effect of the global financial
turmoil, evident from the sharp decline in SENSEX, BSE's benchmark index. Any prolonged financial crisis may have an adverse
impact on the Indian economy, thereby resulting in a material and adverse effect on the Company's business, operations, financial
condition, profitability and price of its Shares. Stock exchanges in India have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities.
19. Terrorist attacks, civil disturbances, regional conflicts and other acts of violence in India and abroad may disrupt or
therwise adversely affect the Company's business and its profitability.
Certain events that are beyond the control of the Company, such as terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, including those
involving India, China, the UK, the US or other countries, may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially
lead to a severe economic recession, which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in India's economy. Southern Asia has, from time to
time, experienced instances of civil unrest and political tensions and hostilities among neighboring countries, including India, Pakistan
and China. India recently witnessed a major terrorist attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, which led to an escalation of political tensions between India and Pakistan. Political tensions could create a perception that there is a risk of disruption of business provided
by India-based companies, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, future financial performance and price of
the Shares. Furthermore, if India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, particularly hostilities that are protracted or involve the
threat or use of nuclear weapons, the Company's operations might be significantly affected. India has from time to time experienced
social and civil unrest and hostilities, including riots, regional conflicts and other acts of violence. Events of this nature in the future
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to develop its business. As a result, the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
20. Natural calamities could have a Negative effect on the Indian economy and adversely affect the Company's business.
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, a tsunami, floods and drought in the past few years. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their effect on the Indian economy. For example, as a result of drought conditions in the
country during Fiscal 2003, the agricultural sector recorded negative growth for that period. The erratic progress of the monsoon in
2004 affected sowing operations for certain crops. Further prolonged spells of below normal rainfall or other natural calamities could
have a negative effect on the Indian economy, adversely affecting the Company's subsidiary’s business and the price of its Equity
Shares.
21. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as US GAAP and IFRS, which
may be material to investors' assessment of the Company's financial condition.
As stated in the reports of the Company's independent auditor included in this Letter of Offer, its financial statements are prepared and
presented in conformity with Indian GAAP, consistently applied during the periods stated, except as provided in such reports, and no
attempt has been made to reconcile any of the information given in this Letter of Offer to any other principles or to base it on any
other standards. Indian GAAP differs from accounting principles and auditing standards with which prospective investors may be
familiar in other countries.

NOTES TO FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2012
I) Significant Accounting Policies
(i) (a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention based on the accrual method and in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP). The said financial statements comply with
the relevant provisions of the Companies Act,1956 (the Act) and the mandatory Accounting Standards notified by the
Central Government of India under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rule, 2006.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
accounting period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in which the results are known
/ materialized.
(ii) Balance Sheet
Fixed Assets :
a) Fixed assets other than land and buildings are stated at cost inclusive of appropriate direct expenses. Land and Buildings were
revalued based on the valuation report by an approved valuer during the year ended 31st March 1989 and again during the
period ended 31st December 1994. Assets acquired on hire purchase agreement are capitalized to the extent of their
principal value while hire charges are charged to revenue.
Impairment of Assets :
b) At each balance sheet date, the carrying value of the tangible & intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether there
in any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where there is an indication that there is a likely
impairment loss for a group of assets, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the group of assets as a whole,
and the impairment loss is recognised
Borrowing Costs :
c) Borrowing costs are capitalized as part of qualifying fixed assets when it is possible that they will result in future economic
benefits. Other borrowing costs are expensed
Investments :
d) Long Term Investments are stated at cost and provision for diminution in value is made, if the diminution in value is other than
temporary in nature.

Payment of Refund
Mode of making refunds
The payment of refund, if any, would be done through various modes in the following order of preference:
1. ECS/NECS – Payment of refund would be done through ECS/NECS for Investors having an account at any centre where such
facility has been made available. This mode of payment of refunds would be subject to availability of complete bank account details
including the MICR code as appearing on a cheque leaf, from the Depositories. The payment of refunds is mandatory for Investors having a bank account at the centers where ECS/NECS facility has been made available by the RBI (subject to availability of all
information for crediting the refund through ECS/NECS), except where the Investor, being eligible, opts to receive refund through
NEFT, direct credit or RTGS.
The list of banks that have been notified by SEBI to act as SCSB for the ASBA Process are provided on
http://www.sebi.gov.in/pmd/scsb.html. For details on designated branches of SCSB collecting the CAF,please refer the above
mentioned SEBI link.
2. NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) – Payment of refund shall be undertaken through NEFT wherever the Investors’ bank
has been assigned the Indian Financial System Code (IFSC), which can be linked to a Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR), if
any, available to that particular bank branch. IFSC Code will be obtained from the website of RBI as on a date immediately prior to
the date of payment of refund, duly mapped with MICR numbers. Wherever the Investors have registered their nine digit MICR
number and their bank account number while opening and operating the demat account, the same will be duly mapped with the IFSC Code of that particular bank branch and the payment of refund will be made to the Investors through this method. Our Company in
