Annual Report 2009–2010

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, D It is my pleasure to write to you following a positive year that began in recovery from the g global economic crisis and turned into a good year for Godrej Industries. During the economic d downturn, we focused on various initiatives to improve our operational efficiencies and de-risk o our portfolio. These initiatives have enabled us to reinvent our processes and reinvigorate o our business and we expect to reap benefits in this current growth cycle. O Our diversified business model is unique with interests in the form of operating businesses, ssubsidiaries, joint ventures and investments. This variety allows our shareholders to partake in growth in our entire range of businesses, including oleo-chemicals, agriculture, real estate, cconsumer products, and foods. These sectors are essential parts of the Indian economy, and with growth in the Indian economy now in full swing, these are very exciting times at Godrej. We have always laid strong emphasis on green and environmentally friendly business practices, which in turn have lead to strong advantages and dividends. We have maintained our position as market leaders in the Indian oleo-chemicals and surfactants space. Our chemical business had healthy profit margins this year due to consistently strong demand and normalized raw material prices. In addition, we have significantly improved efficiencies and reduced costs in the division, which will yield results in the years to come. Results from the agri and palm oil business have been especially encouraging and we anticipate these businesses to be among the most impressive growth drivers going forward. There has been considerable growth in the consumer and healthcare business due to high consumer demand for our products across the country. The Godrej brand reaches over 470 million consumers daily and our business always strives to exceed our customers’ changing expectations. Our property development business was successfully listed on the stock exchanges this year and we have projects under construction in several cities across India. There is tremendous demand for residential housing, and affordable housing is an area of particular interest. We expect a housing boom in the next decade, supported by robust economic progress and readily available mortgages. We will harness this potential by continuing to cater to this need and anticipate very aggressive growth for our property development business. The downturn challenged us at Godrej, but we viewed it as an opportunity to evaluate our operations to energize ourselves and our businesses. We focused on initiatives that would enable us to be a company of the future. We have worked on redefining the Godrej brand to strengthen brand unity across our broad range of businesses. We reinforced our commitment to innovation, adding technology while improving efficiency to processes that uphold our high quality standards while sustaining product affordability. Godrej has over a century of industry experience and is one of the most trusted business houses in India. Our management practices and code of conduct have ensured good governance across our businesses. In line with our corporate values, we renewed our responsibility to create social capital by implementing initiatives to improve and create social awareness on issues like disability rights, healthcare, education, environmental issues, and social welfare. Our high standards are present throughout the group’s various businesses and ensure our dedication to our shareholders, business partners, and employees. We hope to continually improve our businesses and envision an even brighter future for Godrej. I appreciate our employees for their outstanding contribution, our business partners, vendors, business associates as well as the Central and State Governments for their support. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their sustained encouragement and support. Yours faithfully, Adi Godrej Chairman 3

The Profit after tax but before extra ordinary income increased from Rs. 13.32 crore to Rs. 21.71 crore. The year under review saw the core businesses of Animal Feeds and Agri Inputs returning an extremely good performance, both in revenue and profit. The Animal Feed business recorded a growth of 16% in revenue and 31% in profit. The profitability grew due to expansion of contribution margins and control over fixed overheads. The expansion of contribution margins was possible due to efficient sourcing, improved formulation and successful R & D efforts. The Agricultural Inputs business grew by 19% in revenue and 22% in profitability. This success is even more impressive in the light of a failed monsoon and drought conditions that followed. The sales growth was fuelled by innovative products from in-house R & D in addition to growth in the more commoditised pesticides and Organic Manure Mixture. GAVL enjoyed significantly lower borrowing costs on account of efficient treasury management. GAVL also successfully implemented SAP in its Animal Feed business and the implementation has started yielding significant business benefits. During the year, GAVL transferred its entire shareholding in Natures Basket Limited (NBL) to your Company. GAVL continues to be the holding Company of Godrej Oil Palm Limited (GOPL), Cauvery Palm Oil Limited (CPOL) and Golden Feed Products Limited (GFPL).

The company improved its turnover and profits despite difficult markets and lower unit value of vegetable oils. As the world economy recovers, the company should continue to do well. Godrej Hershey Limited (GHL): Your Company holds a 43.4% stake in GHL. During the year under review, beverages grew 8% over the previous year and chocolate syrup grew 82% over the previous year. The gross margin was under pressure due to unprecedented rise in commodity prices particularly, sugar, glucose and dairy products.

Its product portfolio includes strong brands such as MahaLacto, Nutrine Eclairs, Koko Naka, Honey Fab, Aam Ras, Aasay, SuperStar and Gulkand.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS The global meltdown experienced last year, with India being no exception, has given way to a strong recovery shown this year particularly by the Indian economy. The GDP growth rate is expected to remain relatively strong in 2009-10 at around 7.2% as per the advance estimate by Central Statistical Organisation (CSO). The manufacturing sector contribution in this is high at 9%. The per capita income is up by 5.4% as per advance estimate by CSO. With the Index of Industrial Production showing growth of 10.1% and within that, manufacturing sector growing at 10.5% compared to same period of last year, the outlook for the coming year looks promising. However, rising food inflation is an area of concern. Overall, the Indian economy has shown signs of growth in almost all the sectors. With the resurgence of positive sentiments, the Indian economy is expected to maintain and expand its growth rate in the coming year.

CHEMICALS DIVISION The Chemicals division operates in the oleo-chemical and surfactant industries. The division has a blend of domestic and international operations and continued its leadership position in the Indian market. The division achieved export turnover of Rs. 300 crore in this fiscal, accounting for about 37% of its turnover. The recovery of the global economy leading to a robust increase in demand helped the growth in this division. The product categorywise review follows: Fatty Acids Fatty Acids portfolio, comprising stearic acid, oleic acid, as well as specialty fatty acids, accounted for about 40% of the turnover of the division. Continuous cost reduction and market development initiatives have helped grow this category by about 9% in value terms and 8% in volume terms. The division plans to enhance the sales of its specialty fatty acids in the domestic as well as export markets. Fatty Alcohol Fatty Alcohols accounted for 34% of the sales revenue of the Chemicals division. Revenue decreased by 11% largely due to the fall in commodity prices leading to a reduction in unit selling price though volume increased by 3%. Through effective customer relationship management and supply chain initiatives, the division could maintain and grow its share with major global corporations. The growth in sales of fatty alcohols in Europe was aided by ‘Just in Time’ (JIT) supplies with improved logistics management. Your Company has reached over 62 countries in the world through its exports. With customer focused manufacturing and marketing strategies, it is expected that revenues from this segment will improve in the coming year. Surfactants Surfactants contributed 18% to the turnover of the division. As a forward integration and de-risking strategy, the division is strongly focusing on fatty alcohol based surfactants such as Sodium Lauryl Ethoxy Sulphate (SLES) and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) in addition to Alpha Olefin Sulphonate (AOS), particularly in improving the presence in the international market. Your company has started exporting SLES and SLS to various countries. Sales grew by 41% in value terms as compared to last year. This portfolio is expected to grow steadily in the future.

Glycerin Glycerin accounted for 4% of the turnover of this division. Revenues decreased by 36% in view of the low price of Glycerin. This is largely a by-product and additional sales are mostly opportunistic, depending on market conditions. Other initiatives Your Company continued its strong focus on cost reduction and operational efficiency improvement initiatives, which included reduction in the net working capital employed and reduction in the variable costs of production. Your Company also successfully added specialty and value added products in its portfolio which are expected to improve the margins for the division going forward. Your Company has developed a customer relationship management website (eCRM) that enables customers to track their orders and transactions as also receive updates through personalized web pages 24x7. This initiative has been accorded recognition from Businessweek magazine and your Company was adjudged as amongst the top 25 unsung innovators. Your Company had made an application to Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for allotment of 20 acres of industrial land in their industrial area at Ambernath to enable expansion/relocation of some of the plants of the Chemicals division and/or for the purpose of diversification of business. MIDC has favourably considered the Company’s application and an Offer Letter has been issued based on which the Company has signed the agreement to lease. Outlook The outlook for the coming year 2010-11 is mixed at this point in time. International prices and demand are showing signs of improvement and if the recovery trend continues, the chemicals business is well poised to take advantage. If new capacities for oleo-chemicals that were announced earlier go on stream, there could be an oversupply situation in the market affecting the prices. However, most of the new plants are set up to produce mid chain alcohols. Your Company has a competitive advantage due to its unique strategy of offering higher chain alcohols. Focus on increasing sales of integrated specialty derivative products of fatty alcohol will improve profitability as well as de-risk the business from the adverse movements in the fatty alcohol market. Your Company is actively expanding its presence in the international market for its specialty derivative products by getting R&D approvals from multinational corporations. Your Company is also focusing on specialty fatty acids and their co-products, which will improve its leadership position in terms of market share as also profitability. ESTATE MANAGEMENT The Ghatkopar - Vikhroli – Kanjur - Powai belt, of Mumbai suburb is continuing to witness major development activity. The area around the registered office of your Company at Vikhroli is developing at a brisk pace. The ongoing projects of widening of the Eastern Express Highway, additional flyovers on the southern end, metro terminal in the vicinity and other infrastructure projects will be a catalyst for attracting mixed use developmental activity and is expected to make this suburb, a desired location in the coming years. Reputed corporates continue to lease spaces in your Company for their business operations. The green environment, excellent infrastructure and close proximity to CBD, airport, New Mumbai and the extended suburbs are major positives, in making Vikhroli a preferred location. Your Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and Godrej 17


Properties Ltd. for development of property at Vikhroli. In view of the proposed development, some areas given on leave and licence basis would not be renewed for further periods. The revenue could also be affected due to the reduction in average rentals as areas given on higher rentals come up for renewal. The total income from this business for the year was Rs. 27.75 crore as compared to Rs. 31.54 crore in the previous year. FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS During the year, your Company continued to earn return from its investments in the form of dividend of Rs. 42.80 crore (previous year Rs. 50.21 crore) and realised capital appreciation of Rs. 104.38 crore (previous year Rs. 56.27 crore). During the year, Godrej Hygiene Care Limited (GHCL) (formerly known as Godrej Hygiene Care Private Limited), 100% subsidiary of your Company, was merged with Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) under a scheme of arrangement filed with Hon’ble High Court, Bombay w.e.f. June 1, 2009 and all assets and liabilities of GHCL stand transferred to and vested in GCPL. Your Company received 209,39,409 equity shares of GCPL in lieu thereof as per the scheme of arrangement. Out of the equity shares received, 25% equity shares are locked in till November 2012. During the year, our subsidiary Godrej Properties Limited successfully completed its IPO and listed on BSE and NSE. Your Company acquired 100% stake in Natures Basket Limited during the year. Your Company sold its entire stake in Compass BPO Limited. As earlier reported, your Company had sold its subsidiary company Godrej Hi Care Ltd. The per capita income is up by 5.4% as per advance estimate by CSO. (GHCL) in March, 2009 last year. As per the Share Purchase Agreement entered into with the purchaser, the sellers of GHCL were entitled to additional consideration on achievement of stipulated financial parameters based on which your Company received additional consideration during the year which is reflected in the accounts. HUMAN RESOURCES, INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Industrial Relations at all locations were cordial. The total number of persons employed in your Company as on March 31, 2010 was 1,264. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY Your Company has a proper and adequate system of Internal Controls, to ensure that all assets are safeguarded and protected against loss from unauthorized use or disposal and that transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. Your Company’s Corporate Audit and Assurance Department which is ISO 9001 certified, issues well documented operating procedures and authorities with adequate built-in controls at the beginning of any activity and revised procedures if there is any major change. The internal control is supplemented by an extensive programme of internal, external audits and periodic review by the management. The system is designed to adequately ensure that financial and other records are reliable for preparing financial information and other data and for maintaining accountability of assets. Corporate Audit & Assurance Department, during the year, facilitated a review of your Company’s risk management programme. The risks and mitigation measures were reviewed by your Company’s Risk Committee and corrective measures initiated. During the year the Corporate Audit & Assurance Department carried out various reviews and provided assurance on compliances to laid down policies, process and internal controls. INFORMATION SECURITY Your Company accords great importance to the security of its information assets. To ensure that this gets desired focus and attention, a Chief Information Security Officer, who is attached to the Corporate Audit and Assurance Department, is entrusted with the task of ensuring that your Company has the requisite security posture. 18

Your Company has in place, all the procedures and practices that are in line with the ISO Security Standards. Your Company is now ISO 27001 certified. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS The improvement in the global economic and liquidity situation coupled with more stable commodity prices, the stimulus package by the Indian Government and various Governments globally, provides an opportunity for growth for the Chemicals division. At the same time, if new capacity additions announced earlier go on stream, there could be an over supply situation in the market which can put pressure on margins. Specialty products are expected to improve margin and strengthen your Company’s position in the oleo-chemicals space. The Estate management business can continue to do well, by optimizing the available space usage in the campus and leveraging the benefits of the location such as assured power supply, better connectivity and infrastructural benefits. The over supply situation for commercial space in the Real Estate market continues to put pressure on the rentals and the margins. In the coming months the rentals will continue to be under pressure till the demands for commercial space picks-up and the sentiments turn buoyant with the improvement in the economic situation. RISKS AND CONCERNS Your Company has put a risk management framework in place post a comprehensive review of its risk management process. The review involved understanding the existing risk management initiatives, zero-based identification and assessment of risks in the various businesses as also the relative control measures and arriving at the desired counter measures keeping in mind the risk appetite of the organization. The Risk Committee has periodically reviewed the risks in the various businesses and recommended appropriate risk mitigating actions. The Commodity based businesses are likely to be affected by vagaries of the weather, demand for edible oil, oilseed production, etc. The increase in bio-diesel manufacturing capacity is expected to impact vegetable oil prices. The business is exposed to commodity price risks relating to raw materials which account for the largest portion of the costs of both the Chemicals and Vegoils businesses. The Chemicals business growth will also depend on the growth of end user industries like polymer, detergent, cosmetic and personal care. As a significant employer and chemicals producer, to ensure occupational safety, employment standards, production safety, and environmental protection, your Company maintains strict safety, health, environmental protection and quality control programs to monitor and control these operational risks. Macro economic factors including economic and political developments, natural calamities which affect the industrial sector generally would also affect the businesses of your Company. Legislative changes resulting in a change in the taxes, duties and levies, whether local or central, also impact business performance and relative competitiveness of the businesses.

Actual results might differ substantially or materially from those expressed or implied. Important developments that could affect the Company’s operations include a downtrend in industry, significant changes in political and economic environment in India and abroad, tax laws, import duties, litigation and labour relations.

Annual Report 2009–2010

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS' TO THE MEMBERS OF GODREJ INDUSTRIES LIMITED 1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Godrej Industries Limited as at March 31, 2010 and also the Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date, both annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 3. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003, issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 227(4A) of the Companies Act, 1956, we give in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order. 4. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph 3 above, we report that: a) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit. b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of such books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit have been received from the branches not visited by us. The Branch Auditor’s Report has been forwarded to us and has been appropriately dealt with. c)

The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account and with the audited returns from the branches.

d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956. e) Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 11 (b) of Schedule 22 – Notes to Accounts, regarding a loan of Rs. 8,113 lac (previous year Rs. 7,359 lac) to a Trust for purchase of the company’s shares from the market equivalent to options granted under an Employee Stock Option Plan. As at March 31, 2010, the market value of the shares held by the ESOP Trust is lower than the cost of acquisition of the shares by Rs. 3,456 lac (previous year Rs. 5,331 lac). The repayment of the loans granted to the ESOP Trust is dependent on the exercise of options

by the employees and the market price of the underlying equity shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. In the opinion of the management, the fall in the value of the underlying equity shares is on account of market volatility and the loss, if any, can be determined only at the end of the exercise period, in view of which provision for the diminution is not considered necessary in the financial statements. f)

Reference is invited to note 9 (a) of Schedule 22 - Notes to Accounts, regarding the recoverability of advances given to certain individuals amounting to Rs. 1,033 lac being contingent upon the transfer and/or disposal of the shares pledged against the loan. The said shares were lodged for transfer which application was rejected and the Company has preferred an appeal to the Company Law Board. The investee company had in the mean while moved the High Court but the matter was referred back to the Company Law Board, where the matter is awaiting hearing. The impact thereof on the profit for the year and the reserves as at March 31, 2010 could not be ascertained.

g)

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts subject to paragraph (f) above, and read with the notes thereon, give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: i)

in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2010;

ii) in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the profit of the Company for the year ended on that date; and iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date. 5. On the basis of the written representations received from the directors of the Company as on March 31, 2010 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we report that none of the directors of the Company is disqualified as on March 31, 2010 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Fixed Assets Fixed Assets are stated at cost or as revalued as the case may be, less accumulated depreciation.

Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition / construction of the qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of such asset, upto the date of acquisition / completion of construction. Investments Investments are classified into long-term and current investments. Long term investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution, if any, in the value of each long term investment is made to recognise a decline, other than of a temporary nature.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, remaining unsettled at the period end are translated at closing rates. The difference in translation of monetary assets and liabilities and realised gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. (ii) Forward exchange contracts other than those entered into to hedge foreign currency risk of firm commitments or highly probable forecast transactions are translated at period end exchange rates. Premium or discount on such forward exchange contracts is amortised as income or expense over the life of the contract.

Deferred tax assets on unabsorbed tax losses and tax depreciation are recognized only when there is virtual certainty of their realisation and on other items when there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing differences at the year end based on the tax rate and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. 19.

The weighted average balance life of options outstanding as on 31st March 2010 is 4.08 years. The options granted shall vest after three to five years from the date of grant of option, provided the employee continues to be in employment and the option is exercisable within two years after vesting. Modification of the ESOP scheme : The vesting period for options granted on 05/04/07 and on 11/04/07 was increased to a maximum of 5 years and the exercise period to 3 years from vesting. The employee share based payment plans have been accounted based on the intrinsic value method and no compensation expense has been recognized since the market price of the underlying share at the grant date is the same / less than the exercise price of the option, the intrinsic value therefore being Nil.

The repayment of the loans granted to the ESOP trust is dependent on the exercise of the options by the employees and the market price of the underlying shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. The fall in value of the underlying equity shares is on account of market volatility and the loss, if any, can be determined only at the end of the exercise period.

3. (a) We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries and joint ventures, whose financial statements reflect the group’s share of total assets of Rs. 13,241.63 lakhs as at March 31, 2010, and the group’s share of total revenues of Rs. 80,780.27 lakhs and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 91.99 lakhs for the year ended on that date as considered in the consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of the subsidiaries and joint ventures is based solely on the report of the other auditors. (b) As stated in Note 2 of Schedule 23, the financial statements of a Jointly controlled entity, whose financial statements reflect the Group’s share of total revenue of Rs. 1,958.75 lakhs and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 284.00 lakhs for the year ended on that date are not audited as of the date of this report and have been included in the consolidated financial statements on the basis of unaudited management accounts. (c) As stated in Note 2 of Schedule 23, the financial statements of certain associates whose financial statements reflect 64

than the cost of acquisition of the shares by Rs. 7,871 lakh. The repayment of the loans granted to the ESOP Trust is dependent on the exercise of options by the employees and the market price of the underlying equity shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. In the opinion of the management, the fall in the value of the underlying equity shares is on account of market volatility and the loss, if any, can be determined only at the end of the exercise period, in view of which provision for the diminution is not considered necessary in the financial statements. 6. Reference is invited to note 14 (a) of Schedule 23 - Notes to Accounts, regarding the recoverability of advances given to certain individuals amounting to Rs. 1033 lac being contingent upon the transfer and/or disposal of the shares pledged against the loan. The said shares were lodged for transfer which application was rejected and the Company has preferred an appeal to the Company Law Board. The investee company had in the mean while moved the High Court but the matter was referred back to the Company Law Board, where the matter is awaiting hearing. The impact thereof on the profit for the year and the reserves as at March 31, 2010 could not be ascertained.

Investments are classified into long-term and current investments. Long term investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution, if any, in the value of each long term investment is made to recognise a decline, other than of a temporary nature. The fair value of a long term investment is ascertained with reference to its market value, the investee's assets and results and the expected cash flows from the investment.

b) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates. c)

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. h) Inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is computed on weighted average basis and is net of modvat. Finished goods and work in progress include cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Provision is made for the cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, wherever considered necessary.

Review of Operations The year under review saw the core businesses of Animal Feeds and Agricultural Inputs returning an extremely good performance, both in revenue and profitability. This represents the fulfillment of the strategy kicked off in FY2008 to refocus Godrej Agrovet on its core competency of selling high-quality, yield-improving inputs to Indian farmers. Since then we have divested, partially or fully, our non-core businesses in areas such as rural retail (Aadhaar), poultry integration/processing (Godrej Tyson Foods), and gourmet food retail (Natures Basket). Going forward, we remain steadfastly committed to improving the productivity of Indian farmers by innovating products and services that sustainably increase crop and livestock yields. The business-wise performance is reviewed hereunder: ANIMAL FEEDS: The Animal Feed business recorded a good growth of 16% in revenue and 31% in profitability. Despite almost-flat sales volumes, profitability grew due to expansion of contribution margins and control over fixed overheads. Cattle Feed volumes rose modestly year-on-year, arresting the persistent trend of falling sales volumes in that category. We attribute this success to our decision to divide the Animal Feed sales force into seperate teams for Cattle, Poultry and Aqua, which came into effect in September 2009. Poultry Feed had a more difficult year, suffering de-growth in some regions. This was mostly due to market conditions, where industry growth stalled from lower placement of chicks. The situation is expected to be corrected in the coming year, and with more beaks to feed, sales volumes are projected to rise again. Expansion of contribution margins was possible due to efficient sourcing, improved formulation, and successful R&D efforts. The Central Buying Organization (CBO) was successful in forecasting the soya meal market, as well as in their positions in imported amino acids and fish meal. Aggressive efforts to stock raw materials for Cattle Feed also paid off. The Animal Nutrition Innovation Center (ANIC) also supported margin expansion through breakthroughs in feed formulation, performance, and quality. Additionally, ANIC made substantial progress in advancing their pipeline of innovative cattle nutrition products towards commercialization. Over time, it is expected that ANIC will help transform Godrej Agrovet into the most innovative feed company in South Asia. AGRICULTURAL INPUTS: The Agricultural Inputs business grew by 19% in revenue and 22% in profitability. This success is even more impressive in light of the failed monsoon, and the drought conditions which followed. Sales growth was fueled by innovative products from in-house R&D (HBR, Hitweed and Zymegold) in addition to growth in more commoditized pesticides and OMM. Contribution margins remained relatively steady at the product level. Working capital requirements for the business increased due to rising trade receivables and the interest cost on the same impacted profitability. Going forward, greater efforts will be made to grow the business aggressively while keeping working capital requirements in check. Agricultural Inputs R&D continued their focus on the development of innovative agrochemicals this year. Key projects include the development of crop-specific selective herbicides, synthesis of intermediates, and innovation of a next generation PGR for cereals.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF GODREJ AGROVET LIMITED 1.

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Godrej Agrovet Limited, as at 31st March 2010 and also the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

2.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

3.

As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003, issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 227 (4A) of the Companies Act, 1956, we annex hereto a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.

4.

Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph (3) above, we report that: a)

We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

b)

As referred to in Note 6 of Schedule 15, Notes to accounts, investments in a joint venture and an associate aggregating to Rs. 90,852 thousands, exceeds the book value of the shares of those companies. The Company has also advanced Rs. 80,618 thousands to those companies. However, in view of the benefits of future profitability of these companies being non-quantifiable at this stage, we are unable to determine the quantum of the possible diminution in the value of these investments / advances.

c)

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 27 of Schedule 15, Notes to accounts, regarding a loan of Rs. 676,212 thousand to an ESOP Trust for purchase of the holding company’s shares from the market equivalent to options granted under an Employee Stock Option Plan. As at March 31, 2010, the market value of the shares held by the ESOP Trust is lower than the cost of acquisition of the shares by Rs. 325,404 thousand. The repayment of this loan granted to the ESOP trust is dependent on the exercise of the options by the employees and the market price of the underlying shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. The fall in value of the underlying equity shares is on account of current market volatility and the loss, if any,

5.

can be determined only at the end of the exercise period, in view of which provision for the diminution is not considered necessary in the financial statements. d) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of these books. e) The Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account. f) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956. g) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said financial statements read with the notes thereon, subject to (b) above, give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2010; and ii) in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the profit for the year ended on that date. iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date. On the basis of the written representations received from the Directors as on 31st March, 2010, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we report that, none of the Directors is disqualified as on 31st March, 2010 from being appointed as a Director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956.

ii)

Post-employment benefits: Defined Contribution Plans: The Company's contributions paid/payable to provident Fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme, Employees Pension Schemes, 1995 and other funds, are determined under the relevant approved schemes and/or statutes and are recognized as expense in the Profit and Loss Account during the period in which the employee renders the related service. There are no further obligations other than the contributions payable to the approved trusts/appropriate authorities. However, the rules of Company's Provident Fund Scheme, 1952, for the reason that the return on investment is less or for any other reason, then the deficiency shall be made good by the Company. The Company's PF does not have any existing Deficit or Interest shortfall. In view of the track record of the Company's PF Trust - its assets, return on investments and acumulated reserves - the Company does not anticipate any deficiency in the foreseeable future. In any case making reasonable actuarial assumptions for determining and measuring any probable future obligations arising due to interest shortfall, would pose a formidable challenge. Defined Benefit Plans: The Company's gratuity and leave encashment/longterm compensated absences schemes are defined benefit plans. The Company's liability for the defined benefit schemes is actuarially determined based on the projected unit credit method. The Company's net obligations in respect of such plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees

n)

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year end, based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date.

o)

The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

p)

Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS Your Company operated under highly adverse conditions during the year which witnessed a severe drought resulting in a major drop in the FFB yield per hectare. The drop in targets approved by the Government constrained area coverage and sales from the nursery. CPO prices were substantially below the average levels of 2008-09. Improvement in operational efficiencies and additional arrivals from newly emerging areas helped the Company face the adversity and post improved results for the year. During the year, the Company successfully completed a capital expenditure programme including augmentation of capacity from 20 TPH to 30 TPH, installation of a COGEN plant and an EFB press station. The setting up of a COGEN plant not only ensured self sufficiency in power but also savings in power cost. It is proposed to further augment the capacity to 40 TPH during 2010-11 and also increase the capacity of the Palm Kernel Oil Mill.

Annual Report 2009–2010

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF GODREJ OIL PALM LIMITED 1.

2.

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Godrej Oil Palm Limited, as at March 31, 2010 and also the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

c)

In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of these books.

d)

The Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

e)

In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956.

f)

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said financial statements read with the notes thereon, subject to (b) above give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

3.

As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003, issued by the Central Government in terms of sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we annex hereto a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.

4.

Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph (3) above we report that: a)

We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

b)

As stated in Note 4 of Schedule 10, notes to accounts, the Company has amortised Licenses/Rights, an intangible asset for oil palm plantation business over a period of 20 years which exceeds the maximum limit of 10 years as prescribed by Accounting Standard 26 “Intangible Assets” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company is of the view that the oil palm plantation business operates on a command area basis with the government allotting to various companies clearly demarcated area for the development of the oil palm plantation. With this responsibility for the development of the oil plantation comes the exclusive rights for the procurement of Fresh Fruit Bunches produced in the allotted area. Oil Palm Plantation has relatively long productive life of 30 years. Since the allotment right is expected to yield benefits over a long period, the amount paid towards the same is amortised over a 20-year period.

ii)

in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the profit for the period ended on that date.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: a) The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and on the ‘going concern basis’, with revenues recognised and expenses accounted on their accrual in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, and in compliance with the applicable Accounting Standards and other requirements of the Companies Act, 1956. b) Fixed assets have been stated at cost and include incidental and/or installation/ development expenses incurred in putting the asset to use and interest on borrowing incurred during construction period. c) Carrying amount of cash generating units/assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. d) Depreciation/Amortization has been provided for as under : (a) The Company has grouped additions and disposals in appropriate time periods of a month/quarter for the purpose of charging pro rata depreciation in respect of additions and disposals of its assets keeping in view the materiality of the items involved. (b) 1) Depreciation on asset purchased/acquired other than acquired under the scheme of demerger are provided on the straight line method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, except for computer hardware which is depreciated over its estimated useful life of four years. 2) Assets acquired under the scheme of demerger are depreciated on straight line basis over the remaining useful life of the asset. 3) Amortizations Asset type Period (i) Leasehold Land Primary lease period (ii) Trees Development cost 15 years (iii) Grant of Licenses/Rights 20 years e) Inventories: Raw materials and stock under cultivation are valued at weighted average cost. Finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. These costs include cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Stores and spares are valued at cost using the First-In-First-Out method. f) Employee Benefits: i) Short-term employee benefits (payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service): Short-term benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensation absences, etc., are determined on an undiscounted basis and recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service. ii) Post-employment benefits: Defined Contribution Plans: The Company’s contributions paid/payable to Provident Fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme, Employees Pension Schemes, 1995 and other funds, are determined under the relevant approved schemes and/or statutes and are recognised as expense in the Profit and Loss Account during the period in which the employee renders the related service. There are no further obligations other than the contributions payable to the approved trusts/appropriate authorities. However, the rules of Company’s Provident Fund Scheme, 1952, for the reason that the return on investment is less or for any other reason, then the deficiency shall be made good by the Company. The Company’s PF does not have any existing Deficit or Interest shortfall. In view of the track record of the Company’s PF Trust - its assets, return on investments and accumulated reserves - the Company does not anticipate any deficiency in the foreseeable future. In any case making reasonable actuarial assumptions for determining and measuring any probable future obligations arising due to interest shortfall, would pose a formidable challenge. Defined Benefit Plans: The Company’s gratuity and leave encashment/longterm compensated absences schemes are defined benefit plans. The Company’s liability for the defined benefit schemes is actuarially determined based on the projected unit credit method. The Company’s net obligations in respect of such plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have earned in return for their services in the current and prior periods that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of the plan asset is deducted. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss Account. Terminal Benefits: All terminal benefits including voluntary retirement compensation are fully written off to the Profit and Loss Account. g) Revenue is recognised when goods are dispatched to external customers. Sales are inclusive of realised exchange fluctuations on export receivables but net of returns, sales tax, rebates, etc. h) Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are translated at the year end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsettled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates. The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains/losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. i) Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. The tax effect is

calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end, based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. k) Provisions are recognised in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

AMORTIZING GRANT OF LICENSES/RIGHTS OVER 20 YEARS: The oil palm plantation business operates on a command area basis with the government allotting to various companies clearly demarcated area for the development of oil palm plantation. With this responsibility for development for oil palm plantations, comes the exclusive rights for the procurement of Fresh Fruit Bunches produced in the allotted area. Oil Palm Plantation has a relatively long productive life of 30 years. Since the allotment right is expected to yield benefits over a long period, the amount paid towards the same is amortized over a 20 year period.

(a)

The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.

In our opinion, the periodic verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies have been reported on such verification. (c) In our opinion, the disposal of fixed assets during the year does not affect the going concern assumption. (a) The Management has conducted physical verification of inventory at reasonable intervals. (b) In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of inventory followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business. (c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory and no material discrepancies were noticed on physical verification.

In view of the losses incurred, your Directors have not recommended any Dividend for the year 2009-2010. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK: During the year under review business responded very well to several operational improvement initiatives. The Overall growth level of approx 70% in a difficult business year established that the business proposition amongst core target consumers is well accepted. In store, layouts were altered to make it more consumer friendly and to enable consumers to spend more time browsing through products. Several initiatives on greater customer interaction and service orientation helped the business extract greater revenues through increase in average bill values by at least Rs 125 per store per transaction from the same customer. Inventories were controlled and stock rotation was improved by nearly 50%. Control of inventory also enabled the business to limit its losses through expiry, damages and wastage of food products to significantly reduced levels as compared to the previous financial year. Renegotiation with suppliers helped the business improve its operating margins substantially. Several initiatives were undertaken on the cost front to limit or minimize the fixed expenses including renegotiation of rentals, measures to control electricity costs as well as actions to control the cost of consumables inside the stores. This was also the first year in which the business expanded from Mumbai into another city - Delhi. The initial response to the stores and to our service levels in Delhi has been very positive. The future outlook for the business appears bright with most Mumbai stores poised to break even (at store level). Also the business is set to expand its foot print further into atleast one more metro city besides planning expansion within Mumbai and Delhi.

(a)

The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets purchased after April 01, 2009. In respect of fixed assets acquired / purchased prior to April 01, 2009, the register is not complete in respect of particulars such as quantitative details and situation of fixed assets. (b) As explained to us, the Company has a program for physical verification of fixed assets at periodic intervals. In our opinion, the period of verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies have been reported on such verification. (c) In our opinion the disposal of fixed assets during the year does not affect the going concern assumption. (a) The Management has conducted physical verification of inventory at reasonable intervals. (b) In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of inventory followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business. (c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory. The discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventory as compared to book records were not material in relation to the operations of the Company and the same have been properly dealt with in the books of account. (a) The Company has not granted any loans, secured or unsecured, to companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. Accordingly, clauses (iii)(b) to (iii)(d) of paragraph 4 of the Order are not applicable to the Company for the current year. (b) Consequently, the question of commenting on the rates of interest and other terms and conditions of the loans granted being prejudicial to the interests of the Company, receipt of regular principal and the interest and reasonable steps taken for recovery of principal and interest does not arise. (c) The Company has taken unsecured loans from two companies covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. The balance outstanding is Rs. 60,568 thousand and the maximum balance during the year is Rs.108,578 thousand. The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured, from firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301. (d) In our opinion, the rate of interest and the other terms and conditions of the aforesaid unsecured loans taken by the Company, are not prima facie prejudicial to the interest of the Company. (e) As per the information and explanations given to us, there are no fixed terms of repayment of the principal and hence the question of the regular payment of the principal amount does not arise. The repayment of interest on the aforesaid loans was regular. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there are adequate internal control systems commensurate with size of the Company and the nature of its business, for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and services. During the course of our audit, no major weaknesses have been noticed in internal controls. (a) Based on the audit procedures applied by us and according to the information and explanations provided by the management, we are of the opinion that the particulars of contracts and arrangements referred to in Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956, have been entered into the register required to be maintained under that section. (b) The transactions made in pursuance of such contracts or arrangements, were made at prices which are reasonable having regard to prevailing market prices at the relevant time, where comparable market prices exist. In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations given to us, the Company has not accepted any deposits from the public hence the provisions of Sections 58A and 58AA or any other provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, read with the rules framed thereunder are not applicable.

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of GODREJ PROPERTIES LIMITED, as at 31st March, 2010, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We have conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003, issued by the Central Government in terms of sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we annex hereto a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph (3) above, we report that: a) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit. b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of such books. c) The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account. d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956. e) Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that as referred to in Note 1(f) of Schedule 19-Notes to Accounts, in respect of projects under long term contracts undertaken and/or financed by the Company, we have relied upon the management’s estimates of the percentage of completion, costs to completion and on the projections of revenues expected from projects owing to the technical nature of such estimates, on the basis of which profits/losses have been accounted, interest income accrued and realizability of the construction work in progress and project advances determined. a) Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that as referred to in Note 9a of Schedule 19-Notes to Accounts, regarding a loan of Rs.3751.19 lakh to the GPL ESOP Trust for purchase of the Company’s shares from Godrej Industries Ltd. equivalent to options granted under an Employee Stock Option Plan. As at 31st March, 2010, the market value of the shares held by the GPL ESOP Trust is lower than the cost of acquisition of the shares by Rs.1177.50 lakh. The repayment of the loans granted to the GPL ESOP Trust is dependant on the exercise of the options by the employees and the market price of the underlying equity shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. In the opinion of the management, the fall in value of the underlying equity shares is on account of current

market volatility and the loss, if any, can be determined only at the end of the exercise period, in view of which provision for the diminution is not considered necessary in the financial statements. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that as referred to in Note 9b of Schedule 19-Notes to Accounts, regarding a loan of Rs.709.74 lakh to GIL ESOP Trust for purchase of the Holding Company’s shares from the market equivalent to options granted under an Employee Stock Option Plan. As at 31st March, 2010, the market value of the shares held by the GIL ESOP Trust is lower than the cost of acquisition of the shares by Rs.290.16 lakh. The repayment of the loans granted to the GIL ESOP Trust is dependant on the exercise of the options by the employees and the market price of the underlying equity shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. In the opinion of the management, the fall in value of the underlying equity shares is on account of current market volatility and the loss, if any , can be determined only at the end of the exercise period, in view of which provision for the diminution is not considered necessary in the financial statements. 6.

Annual Report 2009–2010

SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS

The fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plan, to recognize the obligation on net basis.

SCHEDULE 19 : NOTES TO ACCOUNTS & ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1) Accounting Policies: a)

Past service cost is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

General

(iii)

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b)

Other long-term employee benefits viz., leave encashment is recognized as an expense in the profit and loss account as and when they accrue. The Company determines the liability using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations carried out as at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses in respect of such benefits are charged to the profit and loss account.

Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction.

i)

Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation/Amortization j)

Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Leasehold improvements are amortized over a period of lease or five years whichever is less.

k)

Intangible Assets are amortized over a period of six years.

Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.

Long-term investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution, if any, in the value of each long-term investment is made to recognize a decline, other than of a temporary nature.

Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date.

Current investments are carried individually at lower of cost and fair value and the resultant decline, if any, is charged to revenue. Inventories Inventories are valued as under: Completed Flats

Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis at contracted rates.

Allocation of Expenses Corporate Employee Remuneration and Administration expenses are allocated to various projects on a reasonable basis as estimated by the management.

Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project / activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors.

Income from operation of commercial complexes is recognized over the tenure of the lease/service agreement.

Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are translated at the year end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsettled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

SCHEDULE 12 : NOTES TO ACCOUNTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1) Accounting Policies a) General The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction. Carrying amount of cash generating units / assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. c) Depreciation / Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. d) Inventories Inventories are valued as under : a) Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value b) Construction Work-in-Progress - At cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. e) Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis at contracted rates. f) Borrowing Cost Interest and finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects are transferred to Construction Work in Progress / Due on Management Project, as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost / rates as per Agreements respectively. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. g) Earnings Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. h) Provision for Taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent

2)

3)

4)

that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and loss exacted on substantially exacted on the balance sheet date. i) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are transalated at the year end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsetteled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. j) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. As on the balance sheet date there is no contingent liability. Secured Loans The 1% secured optionally convertible debentures are redeemable at the end of the 7 years from the deed date of allotment and are secured to the extent of specific immovable assets of the Company disclosed under the head “Fixed Assets”. The Company has created a Debenture Redemption Reserve as required under Section 117 ( C ) of the Companies Act, 1956 to the extent of Profit available for distribution. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006: Disclosure of sundry creditors under current liabilities is based on the information available with the Company regarding the status of the suppliers as defined under the "Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006". There is no amount overdue as on 31st March, 2010 to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises on account of principal amount together with interest and also during the previous year.

SCHEDULE 9 1) Accounting Policies a) General The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction. Carrying amount of cash generating units / assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. c) Depreciation / Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. d) Inventories Inventories are valued as under : Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value Construction Work-in-Progress - At Cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. e) Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. f) Borrowing Cost Interest and Finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects are transferred to Construction Work in Progress as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost. g) Earnings Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. h) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are transalated at the year end exchange

2)

rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsetteled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. i) Provision for taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. j) Provisions And Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. There is no contingent liability as on the balance sheet date. k) Miscellaneous Expenditure Miscellaneous expenditure is amortized over a period of 10 years. Leases The Company’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for commercial premises. Lease expenditure from operating leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the period of lease. The particulars of the premises taken under operating leases are as under: Particulars

SCHEDULE 11 : NOTES TO ACCOUNTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1) Accounting Policies a) General The accounts are prepared under the Historical Cost Convention, using the accrual method of accounting, the accounting standard issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction. Carrying amount of cash generating units / assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. c) Depreciation / Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. d) Inventories Inventories are valued as under: a) Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value b) Construction Work-in-Progress - At Cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. e) Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis at contracted rates. f) Borrowing Cost Interest and Finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects, are transferred to Construction Work-in-Progress as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. g) Earnings Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. h) Provision For Taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. i) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are transalated at the year end exchange

rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsetteled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. j) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. There is no contingent liability as on the balance sheet date. k) Miscellaneous Expenditure Miscellaneous expenditure is amortized over a period of 10 years. 10,000 10% Non Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares of Rs.10/- each issued on 24th March 2008 are redeemed on 31st March 2009 @ premium of Rs. 21,484.43/Per Share as per the provision of Companies Act ,1956.

General The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction.

2)

3)

4)

Carrying amount of cash generating units / assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. c. Depreciation / Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. d. Inventories Inventories are valued as under : Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value Construction Work-in-Progress - At Cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. e. Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. f. Borrowing Cost Interest and Finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects are transferred to Construction Work in Progress as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost. g. Earnings Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. h. Provision for Taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. i. Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are transalated at the year end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsettled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. j. Provisions And Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. There is no contingent liability as on the balance sheet date. k. Miscellaneous Expenditure Miscellaneous expenditure is amortized over a period of 10 years. Contingent Liabilities Capital Commitment outstanding for the year ended 2009-10 (Net of Advance) is amounting to Rs. 2,322,203/- (Previous Year Rs. NIL). Due to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Disclosure of sundry creditors under current liabilities is based on the information available with the Company regarding the status of the suppliers as defined under the "Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006". There is no amount overdue as on 31st March, 2010 to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises on account of principal amount together with interest and also during the previous year.

SCHEDULE 12 : NOTES TO ACCOUNT AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1) Accounting Policies a) General The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b) Miscellaneous Expenditure Miscellaneous expenditure is amortized over a period of 10 years. c) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other preoperation expenses and interest in case of construction. Carrying amount of cash generating units / assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. d) Depreciation / Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. e) Inventories Inventories are valued as under: a) Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value b) Construction Work-in-Progress - At cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. f) Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis at contracted rates. g) Borrowing Cost Interest and finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects, are transferred to Construction Work in Progress / Due on Management Project, as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost / rates as per Agreements respectively. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. h) Earnings Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. i) Provision For Taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in

one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are transalated at the year end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsetteled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. Provisions And Contigent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006: Disclosure of sundry creditors under current liabilities is based on the information available with the Company regarding the status of the suppliers as defined under the "Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006". There is no amount overdue as on 31st March, 2010 to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises on account of principal amount together with interest and also during the previous year.

Accounting Policies a) General The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction. Carrying amount of cash generating units / assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. c) Depreciation / Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. d) Inventories Inventories are valued as under : a) Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value b) Construction Work-in-Progress - At cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. e) Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method� of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. Income from operation of commercial complexes is recognized over the tenure of the lease/ service agreement. Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis at contracted rates. f) Borrowing cost Interest and Finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects are transferred to Construction Work in Progress / Due on Management Project, as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost / rates as per Agreements respectively. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. g) Earnings Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. h) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions, remaining unsettled at the year end, are transalated at the year end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsetteled at the year end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at year end exchange rates.The premium payable on foreign exchange contracts is amortized over the period of the contract. Exchange gains / losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. i) Provision for taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. j) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent Liabilities: Matters a)

Guarantees given by Bank, counter guaranteed by the Company (The said bank guarantee is issued by marking a lien on Fixed Deposit of Rs. 81,00,000/- held with State Bank of India)

SCHEDULE 10 NOTES TO ACCOUNTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1) Accounting Policies a. General The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. b. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other pre-operation expenses and interest in case of construction. Carrying amount of cash generating units/assets are reviewed at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. c. Depreciation/Amortization Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. d. Inventories Inventories are valued as under : a) Completed Flats - At lower of Cost or Market value b) Construction Work-in-Progress - At Cost Construction Work in Progress includes cost of land, premium for development rights, construction costs, allocated interest and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. e. Revenue Recognition The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit & Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognized in proportion to the actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of projects under execution with the Company. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Such estimates have been relied upon by the auditors. f. Borrowing Cost Interest and Finance charges incurred in connection with borrowing of funds, which are incurred for the development of long term projects are transferred to Construction Work in Progress as a part of the cost of the projects at weighted average of the borrowing cost. g. Provision for taxation Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets, subject to consideration of prudence, are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing difference at the year-end based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. h. Earning Per Share The basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

Provisions And Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from the past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. There is no contingent liability as on the balance sheet date. k. Miscellaneous Expenditure Miscellaneous expenditure is amortized over a period of 10 years. Due to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Disclosure of sundry creditors under current liabilities is based on the information available with the Company regarding the status of the suppliers as defined under the "Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006".

Godrej International Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT The directors aim to maintain the management policies which have resulted in the company’s substantial growth in recent years. They consider that the next year will show a further significant growth in sales. Principal activities The company’s principal activity during the year continued to be trading worldwide in vegetable oils. The recovery in commodity prices improved the market outlook through the year. The company has reported higher sales by 4.06% and higher profits of 9.08%. Directors The following persons served as directors during the year: 2010 1 -

Adi B Godrej (Indian) Nadir B Godrej (Indian) Aspi K Bardy (Indian) (Deceased December 27, 2009) Dorab E Mistry (British) Andrew B Byers Lynsey Elliott (British)

2009 1 -

The Directors acknowledge the contribution made by the late Mr Aspi K Bardy right from the establishment of the company, who sadly passed away during the year. Directors’ responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The accounts are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company

and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to: – select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; – make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; – prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Disclosure of information to auditors Each person who was a director at the time this report was approved confirms that: – so far as he is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware; and – he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information. Small company provisions This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. This report was approved by the board on April 28, 2010. Mr D Mistry Director Date : April 28, 2010

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GODREJ INTERNATIONAL LIMITED We have audited the accounts of Godrej International Limited for the year ended March 31, 2010 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Financial Reporting Standard For Smaller Entities (effective April 2008) (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities). This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit the accounts in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit opinion An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the accounts sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the accounts. Opinion on the accounts In our opinion the accounts:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at March 31, 2010 and of its profit for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities; and – have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with the accounts. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the directors were not entitled to prepare the accounts and the Directors’ Report in accordance with the small companies regime.
