2Accounting Standard AS-26 published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
on Intangible Assets came into effect on 1st April 2003. Under the standard, compensation
in the nature of employee separation cost was required to be charged to the Profit &
Loss Account in the period in which the employee was separated. Accordingly, the net
present value of the future compensation payable for Employee Separation Scheme (ESS) was
charged to the Profit & Loss Account during the first three quarters.
In March 2004, the Institute revised AS-26 to exclude employee termination benefits
from the scope of the standard. As a result of this change, the earlier practice of
amortisation has been reinstated. Further, the Company has revised its accounting policy
for amortisation from this year to reduce the amortisation period from 120 months to 5
years. Consequent to this change, the profit for the year is lower by Rs. 26.98 crores.
Further, in view of the general reduction in interest rates, the basis of calculation
of net present value of the future compensation payable under ESS has been revised. As a
result of the above revision, there is an additional charge of Rs. 142.33 crores to the
Profit & Loss Account for the year.
3.Consequent to the reinstatement of earlier practice of amortisation of ESS as
mentioned in para 2 above, the charge to the Profit and Loss Account for the first three
quarters have been recomputed. As a result, the profit before tax for the quarter ended
31.3.2004 is higher by Rs. 51.53 crores.
4.Figures for the previous periods have been regrouped and reclassified to conform to
the classification of the current period, wherever necessary.
