SCHEDULES TO THE ACCOUNTS
There are no experience adjustments of Plan Assets/Obligations as at 31 March 2011.A. Amounts recognised as an expense and included in Schedule 17 - "Salaries, Wages and Bonus" ` 78.76 lacs (2009-10: ` 42.62 lacs) for leave encashment
and in "Contribution to Provident and Other Funds" ` 181.98 lacs (2009-10: ` 142.72 lacs) for gratuity.B. Basis used to determine expected rate of return on assets:
The Gratuity Scheme is invested in a Group-cum-Life Assurance cash accumulation policy offered by Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India. Theinvested return earned on the policy comprises bonuses declared by LIC having regard to LIC's investment earnings. The information on the allocationof the fund into major asset classes and expected return on each major class are not readily available. We understand that LIC's overall portfolio ofassets is well diversified and as such, the long-term return on the policy is expected to be higher than the rate of return on Central Government bonds.
C. The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors suchas supply and demand in the employment market.
17. PROVIDENT FUND LIABILITYIn terms of the Guidance on implementing the revised AS 15, the provident fund set up by the Company is treated as a defined benefit plan sincethe Company has to meet the interest shortfall, if any. However, as at the year-end no shortfall remains unprovided for. As advised by an independentactuary, it is not practicable/feasible to actuarially value the provident fund liability.
18. PRIOR PERIOD COMPARATIVESThe previous year’s figures have been re-grouped or re-arranged as necessary to conform to the present year’s presentation.
SCHEDULE 19 – NOTES TO SEGMENT INFORMATION:(i) The business segment has been considered as the primary segment. The Company is organised into three main business segments: Match, Engineering
and Forestry.The segments have been identified and reported taking into account the nature of products and services, the differing risks and returns, the organisationstructure and the internal financial reporting systems.
(ii) Segment revenue in each of the above business segments primarily includes sales and services in the respective segments.
(iii) The Segment revenues in the geographical segments considered for disclosure are as follows:(a) Revenue within India includes sales to customers located within India and earnings in India.(b) Revenue outside India includes sales to customers located outside India and earnings outside India.
The Company has disclosed Geographical Segment as the secondary segment. Fixed assets used in the Company's business or liabilities contracted havenot been identified to any of the reportable segments, as the fixed assets and services are used interchangeably between segments for some units. TheCompany therefore believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities (including capitalexpenditure incurred during the period) other than debtors, since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
(iv) Segment revenue, results, assets and liabilities include the respective amounts identifiable to each of the above segments and amounts allocated ona reasonable basis.

III. Assets identified as held for disposal are stated at lower of theirbook value and estimated net realisable value.
IV. Application software, which is not an integral part of the relatedhardware, is shown as intangible asset and amortised on a straightline basis over its useful life, not exceeding 5 years, as determinedby the management.
V. In accordance with AS 28, where there is an indication of impairmentof the Company’s assets, the carrying amounts of the Company’sassets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whetherthere is any impairment. The recoverable amount of the assets (orwhere applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which theasset belongs) is estimated at the higher of its net selling price andits value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated futurecash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the assetand from its disposal at the end of its useful life. An impairmentloss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or acash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairmentloss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
4. Valuation of InvestmentsLong-term investments are stated at cost. A provision for diminutionis made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value oflong-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower ofcost and market value.
5. Valuation of Inventories and Plantation Work in ProgressInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.Inventories of Raw Materials, Stores and Spares are valued on a weightedaverage cost basis.Finished and semi finished goods include cost of conversion and othercosts incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location andcondition. Semi finished goods are valued based on stage of completionas certified by management.Entire Transplants included in semi-finished goods are valued at cost.Cost represents direct expenses including cost of Entire Transplantspurchased specifically for multiplication and other direct costs.
Plantation Work in Progress:
(i) In valuing poplar trees included under semi finished products, noadjustment is made to the total cost of trees on account of undeveloped /diseased trees being normal loss during the period of maturity ofplantation (based on a technical estimate) except that realization/insurance claim for such trees is reduced from the total cost. Every year,plantation cost already incurred is compared with net realizable valuewhich is determined on the basis of estimated selling price less estimatedcost likely to be incurred in future for bringing the plantation to maturityand the cost necessarily to be incurred in order to make sale. NetRealisable Value is arrived at based on standard average yield ofmatchwood per tree and the prevailing market price for matchwood ofsimilar quality/contracted price. The yield is computed based on anevaluation carried out by the Company’s technical expert.Cost includes all direct and indirect expenses in respect of the poplarplantation.Further, 75% of net realizable value of intercropping, waste, etc isreduced from the above cost because entire farm cost is first added tocost of plantation.
(ii) Agricultural produce/standing crops and plants are valued at 75% oftheir net realizable value.
(iii) Fuel wood arising from poplar trees and lying in stock is valued at 75%of their net realizable value.

The recoverable amount of the asset (orwhere applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which theasset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price andits value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever thecarrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds itsrecoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognized in the profitand loss account or against revaluation surplus, where applicable.
4. Inventories(i) In valuing poplar trees included under semi finished products,
no adjustment is made to the total cost of trees on account ofundeveloped / diseased trees, being normal loss during theperiod of maturity of plantation (based on a technical estimate)except that realization/insurance claim for such trees is reducedfrom the total cost. Every year, plantation cost already incurredis compared with net realizable value which is determined onthe basis of estimated selling price less estimated cost likely tobe incurred in future for bringing the plantation to maturityand the cost necessarily to be incurred in order to make sale.Cost includes all direct and indirect expenses in respect of thepoplar plantation.Further, 75% of net standard realizable value of intercropping,waste, etc is reduced from the above cost because entire farmcost is first added to the cost of plantation.
(ii) Agriculture produce/ standing crops and plants are valued at75% of their net realizable value.
5. Revenue recognition Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on transfer of all significant
risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.6. Contingencies and Provisions
A provision is created where there is a present obligation as a resultof a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources anda reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligationA contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible or apresent obligation that may, but probably will not, require anoutflow of resources. Where there is a possible or a present obligationand the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provisionor disclosure is made.
7. TaxationIncome - tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax chargeor credit.Current tax is determined in accordance with the IncomeTax Act 1961. The deferred tax charge or credit and thecorresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised usingthe tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognisedonly to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets canbe realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciationor carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets arerecognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of suchassets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheetdate and written down or written-up to reflect the amount that isreasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised. Asthe Company is engaged in growing and selling agricultural produce,such income is exempt from income tax. Accordingly, there are nodeferred tax assets/ liabilities arising there from.
8. Earnings per share (‘EPS’)The basic earnings per share (’EPS’) is computed by dividing thenet profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by theweighted average number of equity shares outstanding during thereporting period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profitattributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weightedaverage number of equity and equivalent dilutive equity sharesoutstanding during the year, except where the results would beanti-dilutive.

of the Company’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date todetermine whether there is any impairment. The recoverable amountof the asset (or where applicable, that of the cash generating unit towhich the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net sellingprice and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized wheneverthe carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds itsrecoverable amount.

Every year, plantation cost already incurred is comparedwith the net realizable value which is determined on the basis ofestimated selling price less estimated cost likely to be incurred infuture for bringing the plantation to maturity and the cost necessarilyto be incurred in order to make the sale.
� Cost includes all direct and indirect expenses in respect of thepoplar plantation.
� Further, 75% of net standard realizable value of intercropping,waste, etc. is reduced from the above cost because the entire farmcost is first added to the cost of plantation.

5. Retirement benefitsShort-term employee benefitsAll employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of renderingthe service are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefitsinclude compensated absences such as paid annual leave.Theundiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to bepaid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognizedduring the period.Contributions to the provident fund, which is a defined contributionscheme, are charged to the Profit and Loss Account in the period inwhich the liability is incurred.
Post-employment benefitsThe Company’s gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan whichis not funded. The Company’s obligation in respect of the gratuitybenefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefitthat employees have earned in return for their service in the currentand prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its presentvalue.The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit planis determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected UnitCredit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving riseto additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures eachunit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation ismeasured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Thediscount rates used for determining the present value of obligationunder defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Governmentsecurities as at the balance sheet date.Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the profit andloss account.
Other long-term employment benefitsCompensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelvemonths after the end of the period in which the employee renders therelated services are recognized as a liability at the present value of thedefined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date. The discountrates used for determining the present value of the obligation underdefined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Governmentsecurities as at the balance sheet date.
6. Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on transfer of all significantrisks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.
SCHEDULES TO THE ACCOUNTS (Contd.)
7. Contingencies and Provisions
A provision is created where there is a present obligation as a result ofa past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and areliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible or a presentobligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow ofresources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount involved.Where there is a possible or a present obligation and the likelihood ofoutflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
8. Taxation
Income-tax expense comprises current tax, deferred tax charge orcredit. Current tax is determined in accordance with the Income taxAct, 1961. The deferred tax charge or credit and the correspondingdeferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates andtax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balancesheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent thereis reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however,where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss undertaxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtualcertainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewedas at each balance sheet date and written down or written-up to reflectthe amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) tobe realised. As the Company is engaged in growing and sellingagricultural produce, such income is exempt from income tax.Accordingly, there are no deferred tax assets / liabilities arising therefrom.
9. Earnings per share (‘EPS’)
The basic earnings per share (’EPS’) is computed by dividing the netprofit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstanding during the reportingperiod. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit attributableto the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average numberof equity and equivalent dilutive equity shares outstanding during theyear, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

TECHNICO PTY LIMITED
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ASAT 31 MARCH 2011
Corporate Information
Technico Pty Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporatedand domiciled in Australia. Its parent entity is Russell Credit Limited, acompany registered in India and a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Limited,a public company listed in National Stock Exchange and Bombay StockExchange in India.
The registered office of Technico Pty Limited is located at:
Suite 5,20 Bundaroo StreetBOWRAL NSW 2576Australia
The company employed two employees at 31 March 2011. The companyalso utilises the services of consultants to support its operations.
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis thatthe company is a non-reporting entity because there are no usersdependent on general purpose financial statements. The financialstatements are therefore special purpose financial statements that havebeen prepared in order to meet the requirements of the CorporationsAct 2001.
The financial report is prepared for distribution to members of thecompany to fulfil the directors’ financial reporting requirements underChapter 2M of the Corporations Act 2001, wherein the company isconsidered to be a large proprietary company. The accounting policiesused in the preparation of this report, as described below, are in theopinion of the directors, appropriate to meet the needs of members
The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis andis presented in Australian dollars. The supplementary informationin ` (Indian Rupees), which are unaudited, have been arrived at byapplying the year end inter-bank exchange rate of 1 AUD = ` 46.1075for the current year balance sheet (2010: ` 41.1625) and the averagerate of 1 AUD = ` 43.6350 for the current year income statement(2010: ` 38.0950), and have been included in the financial report asrequired by the parent entity.
The directors have determined that the company is not a “reportingentity”. Consequently the requirements of Accounting Standards issuedby the AASB and other professional reporting requirements do not
have mandatory applicability to Technico Pty Limited in relation to theyear ended 31 March 2011. However, the directors have determinedthat in order for the financial report to give a true and fair view of thecompany’s results of operations and state of affairs, the requirementsof Accounting Standards and other professional reporting requirementsin Australia relating to the measurement and recognition of assets,liabilities, revenues, expenses and equity should be complied with.Accordingly, the directors have prepared the financial report in accordancewith the following Accounting Standards:AASB 101: Presentation of Financial StatementsAASB 107: Cash Flow StatementsAASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and ErrorsAASB 1048: Interpretation and Application of StandardsThe material accounting policies that have been adopted in thepreparation of these statements are as follows:
Going concern
Though the company has accumulated losses of $29,558,938 as at31 March 2011 (2010 : $29,659,170), the management believe thatthe application of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriatedue to the expected cash flows of the company over the next twelvemonths and the belief that the company is an important part of thebusiness plans of ITC limited and a key element of the strategicinvestment portfolio of Russell Credit Limited, the parent entity. Anyexposure of the parent entity in the Company is limited to equity orfund based commitments in accordance with the terms of approvalof its regulator in India.
(b) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determinedbased on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimatesand assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilitieswithin the next annual reporting period are:
Investment in subsidiaries
The carrying value of the investment in subsidiaries is assessed at eachreporting date as to whether there is an indication that the asset maybe impaired. The assessment includes estimates and assumptions offuture events including anticipated rates of growth, gross margins,together with the application of a discount rate. These assumptionscorrespond with the best estimates of management at reporting date.

TECHNICO PTY LIMITED
(c) Foreign currency translation
The functional and presentation currency of Technico Pty Limited isAustralian dollars ($).Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functionalcurrency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of transaction.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies areretranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.All exchange differences in the financial report are taken to profit or loss.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bankand in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of threemonths or less.For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalentsconsist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstandingbank overdrafts.
(e) Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at the original amountless any provision for doubtful debts. A provision is recognised whencollection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts arewritten off as incurred.
(f) Other financial assets
Investments in controlled entities are recorded at cost less impairmentof the investment value.
(g) Impairment of assets
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is anindication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists,or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the companymakes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’srecoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell andits value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless theasset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent ofthose from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in usecannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the assetis tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to whichit belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generatingunit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unitis considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discountedto their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specificto the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations arerecognised in those expense categories consistent with the functionof the impaired asset.
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciationand any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimateduseful life of the assets as follows :
Class of fixed asset 2011 2010Buildings 6.70 % 6.70 %Plant and equipment 13-27 % 13-27 %
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods arereviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year end.
Derecognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposalor when no further future economic benefits are expected from its useor disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated asthe difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carryingamount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the assetis derecognised.
(i) Non current assets held for sale
Non current assets are classified as held for sale and measured at thelower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if theircarrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction.These assets have not been depreciated in this financial period.
(j) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a leaseis based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessmentof whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use
of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to usethe asset.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the incomestatement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentivesare recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the totallease expense.
Finance leases, which transfer to the company substantially all the risksand benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalisedat the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or,if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Leasepayments are apportioned between the finance charges and reductionof the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on theremaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised asan expense in profit and loss.
(k) Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs andrepresent liabilities for goods and services provided to the companyprior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise whenthe company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect ofthe purchase of these goods and services.
(l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation(legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amountof the obligation.When the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed,for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement isrecognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement isvirtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented inthe income statement net of any reimbursement. Provisions aremeasured at the present value of management best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balancesheet date.If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions arediscounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects the risks specificto the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provisiondue to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(m) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directlyattributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equityas a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(n) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economicbenefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliablymeasured. The following recognition criteria must also be met beforerevenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery ofgoods to customers.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into accountthe interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Rendering of services
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised when control ofthe right to be compensated for the services and the stage of completioncan be reliably measured.
(o) Taxation
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expectedto be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax ratesand tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enactedor substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at thebalance sheet date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and theircarrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporarydifferences except :
• when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initialrecognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transactionthat is not a business combination and that, at the time of thetransaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profitor loss; or
58
TECHNICO PTY LIMITED
• when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investmentsin subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and thetiming of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlledand it is probable that the temporary difference will not reversein the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporarydifferences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses,to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised,except:
• when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductibletemporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an assetor liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and,at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profitnor taxable profit or loss; or
• when the deductible temporary difference is associated withinvestments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures,in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extentthat it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in theforeseeable future and taxable profit will be available against whichthe temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at eachbalance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longerprobable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all orpart of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balancesheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probablethat future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax ratesthat are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or theliability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have beenenacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity arerecognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legallyenforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current taxliabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the sametaxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(p) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount ofGST except:
• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is notrecoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST isrecognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as partof the expense item as applicable; and
• receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount ofGST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxationauthority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balancesheet.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basisand the GST component of cash flows arising from investing andfinancing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxationauthority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount ofGST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(q) Employee benefits
(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefitsand annual leave expected to be settled within twelve months ofthe reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect ofemployees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measuredat the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provisionfor employee benefits and measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services providedby employees up to the reporting date using the projected unitcredit method. Consideration is given to expected future wageand salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periodsof service. Expected future payments are discounted using marketyields at the reporting date on national government bonds withterms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible,the estimated future cash outflows.
(r) Intangibles other than goodwill on acquisition
Technology, patents and trademarks
Intangibles include TECHNITUBER® technology of the company andtrademarks and are considered to have finite lives, and are amortisedover the useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is anindication that the intangible asset may be impaired. If benefit is nolonger expected to be received, the asset will be written down to itsnet realisable value.
(s) Comparatives
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures havebeen adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the currentfinancial year.
(t) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
During the current year, the company has adopted the revised AustralianAccounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements,which became mandatory. The adoption of this standard has impactedthe recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions.The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of thisstandard has had on the financial statements of Technico Pty Ltd.
AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements
In September 2007, the Australian Accounting Standards Board revisedAASB 101, and as a result there have been changes to the presentationand disclosure of certain information within the financial statements.Below is an overview of the key changes and the impact on thecompany’s financial statements.
Disclosure impact
Terminology changes – The revised version of AASB 101 contains anumber of terminology changes, including the amendment of thenames of the primary financial statements. These changes are notexpected to impact the financial performance or financial position ofthe company.
Reporting changes in equity – The revised AASB 101 requires all changesin equity arising from transactions with owners in their capacity asowners to be presented separately from the non-owner changes inequity. Owner changes in equity are to be presented in the statementof changes in equity, with non owner changes in equity presented inthe statement of comprehensive income. The previous version of AASB101 required that owner changes in equity be presented in the incomestatement.
The impact of this change is that dividends recognised as distributionsto owners and dividends per share are now disclosed in Note 4 to thefinancial statements.
Statement of comprehensive income – The revised AASB 101 requiresall income and expenses to be presented in either one statement – thestatement of comprehensive income, or two statements – a separateincome statement and a statement of comprehensive income. Theprevious version of AASB 101 required only the presentation of a singleincome statement.
The company’s financial statements now contain a statement ofcomprehensive income.
Other comprehensive income – The revised version of AASB 101introduces the concept of “other comprehensive income” whichcomprises of income and expense that are not recognised in profit orloss as required by other Australian Accounting Standards. Items ofother comprehensive income are to be disclosed in the statement ofcomprehensive income. Entities are also required to disclose the incometax relating to each component of other comprehensive income. Theprevious version of AASB 101 did not contain an equivalent concept.
The impact of this requirement is the disclosure within Note 3 to thefinancial statements, which reflects the grossed up value of each itemof other comprehensive income and the income tax expense/benefitattributed to the item.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2011
1. Nature of Business Activities
The company is a whollyowned subsidiary of Technico Pty Limited(Australia) and produces early generation seed potatoes for the NorthAmerican Market.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include Indian Rupee equivalent figures, arrivedat by applying the year end exchange rate of CAD $1 = ` 45.99 (2010CAD $1 = ` 44.18) to the balance sheet and the average annualexchange rate of CAD $1 = ` 45.085 (2010 CAD $1 = ` 42.3525) tothe income statement as provided by the parent company.
The company, with the consent of its parent company, has elected toprepare its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generallyaccepted accounting principles using the differential reporting optionavailable to nonpublicly accountable enterprises described below:
Class A Preferred Shares
The company’s Class A preferred shares, redeemable on the basis of50% of after tax profits starting in the 2011 fiscal year and retractableby the holder should specified corporate obligations not be met, arerecorded as equity rather than liabilities.
In addition, the company has applied the following significant accountingpolicies without reference to differential reporting:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadiangenerally accepted accounting principles requires management tomake estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts ofassets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilitiesat the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts ofrevenue and expenses during the year. Actual amounts could differfrom those estimates.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payableand other liabilities approximate fair values due to the short termmaturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of long term debthas not been determined because there is no ready market for thisfinancial instrument. It is management's opinion that the company is
not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising fromfinancial instruments.
Income taxes
The company uses the asset and liability method to account for incometaxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized forthe estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future incometax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differencesbetween the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financialreporting purposes compared with tax purposes as well as the benefitof losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce future income tax assetsto the amount more likely than not to be realized.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of production cost and net realizablevalue. Inventory includes capitalized amortization of $40,026 (2010$41,766).
Revenue
Revenue is recognized when products and services are delivered to thecustomer and ultimate collection is reasonably assured.
Amortization
Amortization of capital assets is recorded on a straight line basis at thefollowing annual rates:Buildings 10%
Equipment 13.34%, 20%

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current incometax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authoritiesin accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act. Deferred income taxreflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxableincome and accounting income for the year and reversal of timingdifferences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax lawsenacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferredtax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonablecertainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available againstwhich such deferred tax assets can be realised. If the Company hasunabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax assetsare recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincingevidence that such deferred tax assets can be realized against futuretaxable profits.
At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecogniseddeferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax assets tothe extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be availableagainst which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
m) Leases
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks andbenefits of ownership over the leased term are classified as operatingleases.
Where the Company is the lessee, the operating lease payments arerecognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account over the leaseterm.
Where the Company is the lessor, the assets subject to operating leasesare included in the fixed assets and lease income is recognised in theProfit and Loss Account over the lease term.
n) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit orloss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deductingattributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated asa fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled toparticipate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during thereporting period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profitor loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and theweighted average number of shares outstanding during the period areadjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
o) Provisions
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligationas a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliableestimate can be made.

The directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that
is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility

ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks

control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives
a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT31 MARCH 2011
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and going concern
The financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared fordistribution to members of the company to fulfil the directors’ financialreporting requirements under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act 2001.The accounting policies used in the preparation of this report, asdescribed below, are in the opinion of the directors, appropriate tomeet the needs of members.
The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis andis presented in Australian dollars. The supplementary information inINR (Indian Rupees), which is unaudited, have been arrived at byapplying the year end inter-bank exchange rate of 1 AUD = INR 46.1075for the current year balance sheet (2010: INR 41.1625) and the averagerate of 1 AUD = INR 43.6350 for the current year income statement(2010: INR 38.0950) and have been included in the financial reportas required by the Indian holding company of the parent entity.
The directors have determined that the company is not a “reportingentity”. Consequently the requirements of Accounting Standards issuedby the AASB and other professional reporting requirements do nothave mandatory applicability to Technico Asia Holdings Pty Limited inrelation to the year ended 31 March 2011. However, the directorshave determined that in order for the financial report to give a trueand fair view of the company’s results of operations and state of affairs,the requirements of Accounting Standards and other professionalreporting requirements in Australia relating to the measurement andrecognition of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and equity shouldbe complied with.
Accordingly, the directors have prepared the financial report inaccordance with the following Accounting Standards:
AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements
AASB 107: Cash Flow Statements
AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimatesand Errors
AASB 1048: Interpretation and Application of Standards
(b) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determinedbased on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimatesand assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilitieswithin the next annual reporting period are:
Investment in subsidiaries
The carrying value of the investment in subsidiaries is assessed at eachreporting date as to whether there is an indication that the asset may
be impaired. The assessment includes estimates and assumptions offuture events including anticipated rates of growth, gross margins,together with the application of a discount rate. These assumptionscorrespond with the best estimates of management at reporting date.
(c) Receivables
Trade/other receivables are recognised and carried at the originalamount less any provision for doubtful debts. A provision is recognisedwhen collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debtsare written off as incurred.
(d) Other financial assets
Investments in controlled entities are recorded at cost less impairmentof the investment value.
(e) Impairment of assets
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is anindication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists,or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the companymakes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’srecoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell andits value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless theasset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent ofthose from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in usecannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the assetis tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to whichit belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generatingunit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unitis considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discountedto their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specificto the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations arerecognised in those expense categories consistent with the functionof the impaired asset.
(f) Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs andrepresent liabilities for goods and services provided to the companyprior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise whenthe company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect ofthe purchase of these goods and services.
(g) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directlyattributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equityas a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(3) Accounting currency
The Company’s financial records are maintained and the financialstatements are stated in Renminbi (“RMB”).
(4) Accounting basis and principle
The accounting basis of The Company is accrual principle, and theaccounting principle is historical cost principle.
(5) Foreign currency transactions
All foreign currency transactions have been translated into RMBat the market rates of exchange prevailing on the dates oftransactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies at the balance sheet date are translated into RMB at themarket rates of exchange ruling at that date. The resulting exchangegains or losses are capitalized if they have relation to acquiringfixed assets before the fixed assets intended-use have beencommenced; or are accounted as long-term prepaid expense inthe preparative duration, or are dealt with in the profit and lossaccount in the operating duration, if they have not relation toacquiring fixed assets.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are the short-term investments, which are heldby the Company at the short-term (generally within 3 monthsfrom the purchasing date to the date due), are easy in currencyand conversion to known amount of cash and are of little valuefluctuations.
(7) Allowances for uncollectible accounts
The Company uses the allowance method in which the allowancesfor uncollectible accounts for the receivable items (including theaccounts receivable and other receivable) are recognized in theaging receivable account method and are dealt with in the profitand loss account at the balance sheet. The aging receivable accountmethod is made as follows:
a. Within 1 year, at 0.5 percent on the amount of the part;
b. 1-2 year, at 10 percent on the amount of the part;
c. 2-3 year, at 30 percent on the amount of the part.
If any receivable is evidently different from the others, the specificidentification method is made for the receivable item.
(8) Inventories
Inventories, which are recorded at actual cost, include finishedgoods, work-in-progress and raw material.
For the unrecoverable inventory cost due to the damage, partlyor wholly obsolescence, or market price lower than the cost, theprovision for decline in value of inventories is determined accordingto the difference of the actual cost lower than net realizable valueon an item-by-item basis, at the end of the period.
(9) Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are recorded based on the actual cost. At the inceptionof a lease, the fixed assets by a lessee under a finance lease arerecorded at an amount equal to the lower of the carrying amountof the leased asset originally recorded in the books of the lessorand the present value of the minimum lease payments. (If the
proportion of the recorded amount of the leased assets to the totalamount of assets is lower than 30 percent, the leased assets arerecorded at an amount equal to the total minimum lease payments.)
The standard about fixed asset: House and building, machineryand equipment, Motor vehicle and so on of the useful life morethan one year, and non-principle operating equipment of the unitvalue over 2000 yuan and the useful life more than two years.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off thecost of each asset over its estimated useful life after deducting theestimated residual value. The categories, useful life and residualvalue, annual depreciation rate are as follows:
Category Estimated Annual Residualuseful life depreciation value
rate
House and building 20 years 4.50% 10.00%
Production equipment 10 years 9.00% 10.00%
Motor vehicle 5 years 18.00% 10.00%
Office equipment and other 5 years 18.00% 10.00%
Provision for impairment: At the end of each period, The Companyexamines its fixed assets and if market value of the fixed asset hasdeclined continually, become obsolete in technology, been not inuse in the long term, or been damage, and the recoverable amountof the fixed asset is less than its carrying amount, the provision forimpairment is determined according to the difference of therecoverable amount of the fixed asset lower than its carryingamount on an item-by-item basis.
(10) Intangible assets
An intangible asset, which is acquired separately, is recorded basedon the actual purchase price paid.
The cost of an intangible asset is amortized evenly over its expecteduseful life starting in the month in which it is obtained.
If the expected useful life exceeds the beneficial period stipulated inthe relevant contract or the effective period stipulated by law, theamortization period of an intangible asset is determined in accordancewith the following rules:
a. If the relevant contract stipulates the beneficial period but the lawdoes not stipulate the effective period, the amortization period isnot longer than the beneficial stipulated by the relevant contract;
b. If the relevant contract does not stipulate the beneficial period butthe law stipulates the effective period, the amortization period isnot longer than the effective period stipulated by law;
c. If the relevant contract stipulates the beneficial period but the lawalso stipulate the effective period, the amortization period is notlonger than the shorter of the beneficial period and the effectiveperiod.
If the relevant contract does not stipulate the beneficial period andthe law does not stipulate the effective period, the amortization perioddoes not exceed 10 years.
If an intangible asset is no longer expected to be able to generate anyeconomic benefits that flow to the enterprise, the carrying amountof the intangible asset is written off and is recognized as gain or lossthe current period.
The Company reviews the carrying amount of the intangible asset atthe end of each period. The difference of the expected receivableamount lower than the carrying amount of the intangible asset isrecognized as provision for impairment on an item-by-item basis.
(11) Long-term prepaid expense
Long-term prepaid expenses are recorded based on the actual paymentsand amortized on the straight-line basis in the beneficial period.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The objective of financial risk management is to protect the value of theCompany’s financial assets against possible erosion due to adversematerialisation of risks related to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreigncurrency exposures.
The existence of financial assets exposes the Company to a number offinancial risks. The main risks are market risk due to currency risk, credit riskand liquidity risk.
a) Market risk - currency risk
The Company is exposed to translation and transaction foreign exchangerisk. Approximately 16% of its sales are in US dollars and the Companypays its major supplier, its parent company, mostly in US dollars. It limitsits exposure by holding foreign currency in currency bank accounts. It doesnot currently hold any hedging instruments but foreign exchangemanagement is kept under regular review.
b) Credit risk
The Company’s principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. Thereis no credit risk associated with cash and so the principal credit risk ariseson trade debtors. However, the Company's customers are mostly blue chipcompanies and the Company has no history of significant bad debts.
c) Liquidity risk
The Company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity isavailable to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including sharecapital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instrumentsare classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as suchin the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financialliabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs arecalculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstandingliability.
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meetingthe definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument.Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited directto equity.
Turnover
Turnover is the total amount receivable by the company for goods suppliedand services provided, excluding VAT and trade discounts.
Turnover from services performed on a “time and materials” basis isrecognised as income as and when the services are performed.
Turnover from software projects performed on a “time bound fixed price”basis is recognised as income at the point at which the “milestone” agreedwith the customer is achieved.
Fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Leasehold improvements – 25%
Fixtures and fittings – 25%
Computer equipment – 25%
Leased assets
All leases are operating leases and the payments made under them are chargedto the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences where the transactionsor events that give the company an obligation to pay more tax in the future,or a right to pay less tax in the future, have occurred by the balance sheetdate. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than notthat they will be recovered. Deferred tax is measured using rates of taxthat have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translatedat the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All exchangedifferences are dealt with through the profit and loss account except thatgains and losses arising from the retranslation of the opening retainedearnings in overseas branches are adjusted against the reserves.

Business ReviewThe Corporation is pleased to report another year of strong growth even as the USeconomy gradually began emerging from the historic recessionary crisis. Recentanalyst estimates for 2010 based on data from the US Department of Commerceindicates growth in IT consulting services and IT outsourcing at 2.8% and 5.7%respectively, reversing the de-growth in IT purchases during 2009. Driven byaggressive growth in new client acquisition and focused account management, theCorporation’s Total Revenue increased by 24% over that of the previous year.The smart upturn in the Corporation’s financial performance validates the robustnessof its strategy of investing proactively to create unique domain-led solutions towardsenhancing the competitiveness of clients across identified industry verticals. Inparticular, these solutions enabled demonstrable value to clients in addressing someof their critical business challenges such as effective client relationship management,collaborative product development to shrink time to market, and lowering cost ofoperations.Although the recessionary conditions eased towards the latter part of the financialyear, client budgets continue to be tightly monitored. Several CIO surveys by leadinganalysts indicate that (a) new project funding was largely sourced from savings incost of operations and (b) the focus was on quickening ROI on projects. Thesetrends reflect the continuing uncertainty during the economic recovery. Consequently,the Corporation’s margins remained under pressure, despite the gradual renegotiationof prices upwards for some customers. The margins during the financial year2010-11 reflect the impact of (a) cost management initiatives (b) partnered approachto co-innovation where feasible and (c) growing share of higher order consultingservices.The partnered co-innovation strategy has yielded encouraging results in terms ofacquisitions of several marquee, high potential clients and a growing funnel ofprospects. The Corporation has begun implementing some business transformationprojects for clients, with salutary impact on margins, and more importantly inbuilding market standing for the future. The high scores in the customer satisfactionsurvey, independently conducted by a reputed firm, serves to validate the Corporation’sworth as a value-adding business partner.
The expanded customer base, the strong sales funnel and the bank ofmarket-relevant capabilities, augur well for the year 2011-12.
Wholly Owned Subsidiary – Pyxis Solutions, LLCAs stated in the Report of the Directors last year, the Corporation acquired 100%Membership Interest in Pyxis Solutions, LLC (Pyxis) with effect from 11th August,2008. Pyxis provides high end, domain-based quality consulting to marquee clientsin the financial services industry. In line with the Corporation’s approach towardscapability building, new niche capabilities were added to Pyxis’ range. Delayedrecovery in IT spending in the capital markets sector adversely impacted Pyxis’revenues and margins for 2010-11. It is a testimony to Pyxis’ capabilities that allmajor clients were retained during the financial year, besides acquiring new clientsand projects. Towards the end of the financial year, Pyxis was chosen to providequality assurance services in a new business-critical area by their largest client.A healthy funnel of projects based on the combined capabilities of Pyxis and theCorporation provides a sound foundation for growth in the next financial year.During the year under review, Pyxis declared and paid US$ 750,000 (previousyear-Nil) as dividend for the financial year 2010-11 by way of distribution to theCorporation, the Sole Member of Pyxis.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the countryof incorporation and are represented in U.S. dollars. As required by theparent company, the Indian Rupee equivalent figures, arrived at by applyingthe year end interbank exchange rate of US$1 = ` 44.60 (2010: US$1 = `44.90) as provided by the parent company, have been included. As requiredby the parent company, this presentation does not consolidate the resultsof its wholly-owned subsidiary Pyxis. Accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States would require consolidation of a wholly-owned subsidiary. So accordingly, these financial statements do not purportto follow US GAAP. Futhermore, as permitted by accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States, the impact of the acquisition ofPyxis was not pushed-down to Pyxis. Accordingly, the intangible assetspresented herein relate to the excess purchase price over the fair value ofcurrent assets and liabilities.
2) Recognition of Revenue
Service Revenue
Service revenues are based upon hours worked by Company employeeson customer assignments and are recognized when the work is performed.Revenue is determined by multiplying the hours worked by the contractualbilling rates. Substantially all customers are invoiced weekly, biweekly, ormonthly.
Project Revenue
Revenues on the project business are recognized as earned, typically in themonth the service is performed. Costs associated with the use of subcontractorsto fulfill such project business are recognized in the same period.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 605,“Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenues on deliverywhen a non-cancelable agreement has been executed, fees are fixed anddeterminable and collection is considered probable unless there is significantuncertainty about customer acceptance, in which case, revenues arerecognized upon such acceptance. Losses on contracts are recognized whendeterminable.
3) Account Management Fees
Fees for client account management in respect of work contracted byInfotech India and Infotech UK with clients in the United States are billedmonthly at a predetermined rate applied on the amount billed by InfotechIndia and Infotech UK, to its clients.
4) Cash and Cash EquivalentsFor purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cashaccounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, andcertificates of deposit with maturities of ninety days or less, when purchased,to be cash or cash equivalents.
5) Accounts ReceivableCredit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial conditionand, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generallydue within 30 to 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customersnet of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longerthan the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Companycreates an allowance for accounts receivable based on historical experienceand management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Accountsare written off when they are deemed uncollectible.
6) Equipment, Software, Furniture and Fixtures and LeaseholdImprovementsEquipment, purchased or internally developed software, furniture andfixtures and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation isprovided under the straight line method based upon the estimated usefullives of the assets, with such lives ranging up to five years.
7) Income TaxesThe Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, “IncomeTaxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assetsand liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that havebeen included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method,deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differencesbetween the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities usingenacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expectedto reverse. Future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards,are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is consideredto be more likely than not. If the future realization of such benefits isuncertain, then a valuation allowance is provided.
On July 1, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issuedASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”). ASC 740-10 providesrecognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain taxpositions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740-10 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax returnbe recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than notthat the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measuredusing a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount oftax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimatesettlement. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 onApril 1, 2009 and its adoption did not have a material impact on thefinancial statements. The income tax returns of the Company are subjectto examination by the IRS and other taxing authorities, generally for threeyears after they are filed.
8) Use of EstimatesIn preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America, management is requiredto make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at thedate of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenuesand expenses during the reporting period. Although actual results coulddiffer from those estimates, in the opinion of management such estimateswould not materially affect the financial statements.
9) ReclassificationsCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the currentyear presentation.
10) Advertising CostsAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.
11) Long-Lived AssetsThe Company follows ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”.Accordingly, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company assesses therecoverability of the asset. No impairment charge has been recorded in2011 or 2010.
12) Intangible AssetsIntangible assets are stated at fair value at the date of Pyxis acquisition andare amortized on the straight line method over their estimated useful lifeof 4 to 8 years. Goodwill is not amortized but is subjected to annualimpairment testing.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 32NDASADH 2067 (16TH JULY 2010)
Your Directors are pleased to submit their Report and Audited Accounts of yourCompany for the year ended 32nd Asadh 2067 (16th July 2010).SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTThe political environment in Nepal remained disturbed during the yearculminating in the resignation of the Prime Minister and installation of a caretakergovernment. Subsequent attempts at re-election of a new prime ministerremained inconclusive. The proposed new constitution stayed unwritten andsocial, economic and political disruptions continued to take place from timeto time.However, Nepal remained relatively sheltered from the global recession. In itsEconomic Survey, the Government of Nepal has estimated the GDP growth at3.5% for the financial year ending 32nd Ashad 2067, a marginal decline fromthe level of 3.8% achieved in the previous year. This decline was an outcomeof the slowdown in the agricultural sector from 3 % to 1.2 % due to adverseclimatic conditions. Despite disruptions and frequent power outages, theManufacturing sector grew by 2.6% compared to a negative growth of 1% inthe previous year. The hospitality sector recorded a growth of 8.5% against3% last year driven by higher tourist inflows. As in the previous year remittancesgrew at 7% and fueled consumption.COMPANY PERFORMANCEDespite the challenging political environment your Company’s performancewas robust in the year under review.

Cash Generated from Operations during the yearstood at NRs. 241.2 (` 150.8) Crores, lower by NRs. 10.4 (` 6.5) Crores fromthe levels achieved in the previous year, primarily due to higher cost ofprocurement of tobacco leaf.CONTRIBUTION TO THE EXCHEQUERYour Company retained its status as the single largest private sector contributorto the Government Exchequer, accounting for about 3.5% of the total revenuesof the Government of Nepal, with a payment of NRs. 622 (` 389) Crores duringthe year {(Previous Year: NRs. 454 (` 284) Crores} by way of Excise Duty, VAT,Income Tax and other taxes.BUSINESS SEGMENTSCIGARETTE BUSINESSBrand PortfolioRelentless focus on value creation for the consumer at the premium end of themarket underlined the company’s strong performance and leadership positionin the Cigarette market. The “Surya” trademark emerged as the undisputedleader in the premium segment capturing consumer franchise in the face ofcompeting International Brands. “Khukuri”, the largest selling brand of thecompany showed healthy growth and “Pilot Filter”, launched in recent yearsin the regular size filter segment, garnered significant volume share. “PassportFilter Kings” which was successfully test marketed during the year will furtherreinforce the brand portfolio.Distribution and Supply Chain ManagementAmidst challenging circumstances, the company’s proactive supply chain andsuperior management practices ensured uninterrupted supplies to the tradeand consumers to sustain the volume and value growth in the cigarette business.QualityOn the Manufacturing front, the company continued to invest in new technologycigarette making and packing lines to reinforce the superiority and consistencyof product quality. Investments were made in upgrading infrastructure to caterto the enhanced production capacity and the requirements of new technologymachines.EnergyEnergy conservation and efficiency continue to engage your Company’s attentionas areas of critical priority. Energy saving initiatives implemented by the Companyover the years has enabled substantial energy savings through reduced energyconsumption per unit.Environment Health and SafetyThe Company’s commitment to inclusive growth manifested in the accreditationof its cigarette factory under the upgraded version of Social Accountability8000:2008 certification.A system led approach, implemented with detailed attention and effectivemonitoring, continued to provide a safe work environment for all employees.Leaf TobaccoDespite the agro-climatic challenges in growing tobacco in Nepal, the Companycontinued to engage with the farmers from the stage of seed development tocrop harvesting and provided customized services to farmers during the year.These interventions have helped in enhancing productivity and quality at thefarm level thereby enhancing returns to the farmers. Encouraged by theinterventions of the Company, farmers have increased the acreage under leafcultivation. Efforts are underway to further improve the quality of the domesticgrades.GARMENT BUSINESS – EXPORTThe Garments export business was constrained for the better part of the yearby the import tax increases in India from July 2009. In this context, the businessreinforced its efforts at market expansion through forays into new exportmarkets while continuing to cater to orders for the “John Players” and “Wills”range of apparels. Such business development efforts have resulted in thirdcountry export volumes increasing by 36% over the previous year. The Company
is hopeful that these efforts will result in the delivery of improved exportrevenues and profitability in future.GARMENT BUSINESS – DOMESTICIn the domestic market “John Players” retained its leadership status in thebranded apparel segment with a strong presence in the minds of the consumer.“Springwood”, the home grown western wear brand positioned as an alternativeto low price imports from China and South East Asia, has further consolidatedand strengthened its position in the ‘value for money’ segment.MATCHES BUSINESSIn the Safety Matches business, the Company’s brand “Tir”, has established astrong consumer franchise and significant market share within a few years ofits launch. The brand achieved a top line growth of 25% during the year.DIVIDENDYour Directors have declared an Interim Dividend of NRs. 12.50 (` 7.81) perOrdinary Share for the year ended 32nd Asadh 2067.

These are summarised below:
1. For the financial years 2050-51 & 2051-52 (1993-94 & 1994-95), Revenue authorities had raised a Excise demand for NRs. 13,59,81,616(` 8,49,88,510) which was quashed by a Division Bench of the Supreme Court on 8th April 1998. The Government filed a review petition on 8th October 1998. The Full Bench of the Supreme Courton 29th October 2009 decided the matter in favour of the Company.
2. For the financial years 2055-56 to 2059-60 (1998-99 to 2002-03) anExcise demand for NRs. 37,17,24,680 (` 23,23,27,925) was issued to the Company by the Inland Revenue Office. The Company challengedthe demand in the Supreme Court, which has pronounced its verdicton 1st April 2010 in favour of the Company.
3. An Income Tax demand for the financial year 2058-59 (2001-02) wasissued to the Company for an amount of NRs. 16,07,61,328(` 10,04,75,830) related to the matter of theoretical production. TheCompany filed a writ petition before the Supreme Court seeking thatthe said demand order be quashed. The Supreme Court pronouncedits verdict on 1st April 2010 in favour of the Company.
All other pending Show Cause Notices (SCNs) and demands related to excise,income tax and VAT received from time to time on the issue of theoreticalproduction, are similarly based on an untenable contention by the Revenueauthorities that the Company could have produced more cigarettes than it hasactually produced in a given year, based on an input-output ratio allegedlysubmitted by the Company in the year 2047-48 and, that the Company isliable to pay taxes on such cigarettes that could have been theoreticallyproduced. This, despite the fact that the Company’s cigarette factory is under‘physical control’ of the Revenue authorities and the cigarettes produced areduly accounted for and certified as such by the Revenue authorities. Thecumulative demands on the Company on account of theoretical productionthat remain pending stand at NRs.92.90 (` 58.06) Crores and comprise:

B. Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts:a) Demands raised by Revenue Authorities on theoretical production of cigarettes:
The Company has been receiving Show Cause Notices (SCNs) and demands fromExcise, Income Tax and VAT authorities. The basis of all these SCNs and demandsis an untenable contention by the Revenue authorities that the Company couldhave produced more cigarettes than it has actually produced in a given year, byapplying an input-output ratio allegedly submitted by the Company in the year2047-48 and, that, the Company is liable to pay taxes on such cigarettes that couldhave been theoretically produced and sold. This, despite the fact that the Company’scigarette factory is under ‘physical control’ of the Revenue authorities and cigarettesproduced are duly accounted for and certified as such by the Revenue authorities.It may be pointed out that such levy of taxes on such theoretical production ofcigarettes has absolutely no basis in law.The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Nepal has, during the year, passed judgements infavour of your Company, with regard to certain Excise and Income Tax demandson the issue of theoretical production. These are summarised below:(i) Excise Related:
1. For the financial years 2050-51 & 2051-52 (1993-94 & 1994-95),Revenue authorities had raised a Excise demand for NRs. 13,59,81,616(` 8,49,88,510), which was quashed by a Division Bench of the SupremeCourt on 8th April 1998. Government filed a review petition on 8thOctober 1998. The Full Bench of the Supreme Court on 29th October2009 decided the matter in favour of the Company. Our counselappearing in the matter has opined that this verdict will add substantialstrength to the Company’s case in all other matters relating to the issueof theoretical production.
2. An Excise demand dated 12th July 2005 for NRs. 37,17,24,680(` 23,23,27,925) for the financial years 2055-56 to 2059-60 (1998-99to 2002-03) was issued to the Company by the Inland Revenue Office.On 21st September 2006 the Company challenged the demand in theSupreme Court, which on 1st April 2010, has decided the matter infavour of the Company.
(ii) Income Tax Related:An Income Tax demand dated 13th October 2006 for the financial year2058-59 (2001-02) was issued to the Company for an amount ofNRs. 16,07,61,328 (` 10,04,75,830) related to the matter of theoreticalproduction. On 7th November 2006, the Company filed a writ petitionbefore the Supreme Court seeking that the said demand order bequashed. The Supreme Court, on 1st April 2010, has decided the matterin favour of the Company.
Following is the status on other demands issued to the Company on the same matterwhich are based on similar untenable contention by the Revenue authorities:
(i) Excise Demand for NRs. 27,80,26,266 (` 17,37,66,416)1. A demand letter dated 22nd February 2008 was issued to the Company

The Companyfiled a writ petition in the Supreme Court on 1st April 2008 requestingthat the said demand order be quashed and orders issued such thatthe tax demanded not be collected. The Supreme Court admitted thepetition on 2nd April 2008 and directed issue of Show Cause Noticesto the respondents, and the hearing on the matter is pending.
2. A demand letter dated 30th November 2008 was issued to the Companyby the Inland Revenue Office, Simra, Bara. The demand of NRs.12,85,10,757 (` 8,03,19,223) by way of Excise duty, relate to thefinancial year 2063-64 (2006-07). The Company had filed a writ petitionin the Supreme Court on 31st December 2008 requesting that the saiddemand order be quashed and orders issued such that the tax demandednot be collected. The Supreme Court admitted the petition on 6thJanuary 2009 and directed issue of Show Cause Notices to therespondents, and the hearing on the matter is pending.

Property and Equipment, NetProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.Major additions and improvements are capitalized, and replacements,maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful life ofan asset are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise

When required, impairment losses on assets to beheld and used are recognized based on the excess of the asset’s carryingamount over the fair value of the assets. There were no impairment lossesdeemed necessary for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.g.
