Godrej Industries Limited ANNEXURE "A" FORMING PART OF THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS CHEMICALS DIVISION INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS The Indian economy maintained its growth momentum in F.Y. 2006-07 thanks to industrial resurgence, growth in international trade, and the improving physical infrastructure. However, rising inflation rate is an area of concern. The advance estimate of growth in GDP of 9.2% released by CSO for FY 06-07 has surpassed expectations. There has been a noticeable rise in the rate of investment in the economy. The index of industrial production (11.40%) and the steady and sustained growth trend indicates an upswing in the economy in the manufacturing sector. Positive investor sentiment, evidenced by rise in stock market indices will also induce investment inflow into the country and augers well for the economy.

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 Export Oriented Unit (EOU) commissioned in March 2006 has achieved its full operating capacity and contributed to the revenue from this division. The Chemicals business was recognized as "Exporter of the Year" in the chemicals category of Internationals Trade Awards 200607 awarded by CNBC - TV18 and DHL. The products category-wise review follows: Fatty Alcohol Fatty alcohols accounted for 43% of sales revenue of the Chemicals division. Revenue grew by 11% and volume by 27% over previous year. Industry cyclicality, announcement of fresh capacities and temporary supply-demand mismatch have affected the product pricing and margins adversely. In spite of the aggressive competition there has been an increase in sales volume over previous year. Through effective customer relationship management and supply chain initiatives, the division could maintain its major share with some of the global companies in the international market. With the expansion of customer base, your Company has reached around 60 countries in the world through its exports. With the focused manufacturing and marketing strategies it is expected that revenues from this segment will improve further in the coming year. Fatty Acids The fatty acids portfolio comprising stearic acid, oleic acid, as well as, specialty fatty acids accounted for about 37% of the turnover of the division. Continuous cost reduction and market development initiatives have helped grow this category by about 5% in volume and 16% in value terms. The division is taking necessary steps to strengthen its position in this category and counter competition from imports, as well as, small players. New fractionation column which is capable of producing premium and specialty fatty acids was commissioned during the year and is expected to achieve full capacity utilisation by the end of 2007-08. Surfactants Surfactants contributed 10 % to the turnover of Chemicals division. Sales declined by 28% in value but increased by 2% in volume. The decline in value was due to higher proportion of processing vis-a-vis outright sales. Your Company is the pioneer, as well as market leader in the production and sales of Alpha Olefin Sulphonate (AOS) in India, a surfactant used in several well known shampoos and detergent brands in the country. Costs have increased due to a steep rise in Alpha Olefin prices, which is the raw material for AOS, affecting margins and off-take. To improve capacity utilisation, the division has started the production of value added sulphonated products. Glycerin Glycerin accounted for 7.5% of the turnover of this division. Revenues increased by 16% over last year, volumes by over 30%. Its competitive price allowed the division to take advantage of the opportunity of substituting other polyols with Glycerin. Other initiatives Your Company got Kosher Ceritification for oleo chemicals, which would allow catering to new market segments, thereby increasing the reach and revenue of the product category and also help in fetching premium pricing. Outlook The outlook for the coming year 2007-08 is mixed at this point in time.


Annual Report 2006-2007

There are announcements of new production capacities of fatty alcohols, which might result in an oversupply situation in the market if all of that came through. The vegetable oil prices have also moved up in view of increasing demand and alternate uses.

Limited to support its growth plans, taking its stake to 70.3% from 57.8%. Your Company also acquired a stake of 40.4% in Godrej Upstream Limited for Rs. 900 lac and a stake of 8.7% in a drug discovery research company Verseon LLC for Rs. 1142 lac.

Most of the new plants are set up to produce mid chain alcohols. GIL has a competitive advantage due to its unique strategy of offering higher chain alcohols in the market. Producers of petroleum based alcohols continue to face relatively high crude oil prices. It is expected that vegetable oil based alcohols will therefore, substitute petro-alcohols in some applications.

HUMAN RESOURCES, INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Industrial Relations at all locations were cordial. The total number of persons employed in your Company as on March 31, 2007 was 1528. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS & THEIR ADEQUAECY

Estate Management

INFORMATION SECURITY

Mumbai continues to be perceived as a suitable location with good infra structure and availability of skilled manpower by the BPO sector. The increase in real estate prices and the rentals has continued during the current year resulting in increased demand for space in the suburbs. Your Company continues to effectively utilise the available space by giving the unutilised space on leave & license basis to reputed corporates for their back office operations. The green environment and good infra structure with close proximity to the CBD, airport and suburbs are major advantages, making Vikhroli a preferred location. The total income from this business for the year was about Rs. 2575 lac as compared to Rs.2280 lac previous year an increase of about 13%.

Your Company recognised that Information being an important asset requires adequate protection.

Medical Diagnostics The Medical Diagnostics Division is in the business of distribution of Diagnostic equipment and Consumables to the Medical Community. This division achieved a turnover of Rs. 840 Lac for the year, recording a de-growth of 12% in value terms over the previous year, mainly on account of lower sales to government institutes compared to the previous year. The focus of the division was on reduction in Net Working Capital and sale of the Hematology Cell Counter. The Division extended its sales activities to SAARC countries particularly Nepal and Sri Lanka. FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS Dividend income for the year was significantly higher at Rs. 5781 lac (previous year Rs. 2275 lac) and profit on sale of investment was Rs. 4383 lac (previous year Rs. 2120 lac). During the year, your Company invested Rs. 6240 lac in Godrej Beverages & Foods Limited in its Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares issue and was also allotted equity shares towards settlement of part consideration of Rs. 3000 lac for sale of Foods business in the last financial year. Your Company invested Rs. 3000 lac in the rights issue of Godrej Agrovet

Therefore "Information Security" has been established as a separate focused Corporate function and attached to Corporate Audit & Assurance Dept. As a part of this initiative, your Company has, with the help of a reputed consultant, formally documented Infosec Policies & Procedures. Chief Information Security Manager has been appointed and entrusted with the implementation of the above policies with a view to safeguard information assets by all concerned. COMPANY WIDE INITIATIVES Your Company has migrated from Mfg/Pro to SAP, a fully integrated and centralised ERP system which will help the Company in achieving better planning and control in terms of purchase, production, product mix, etc. It has robust a management information system, which will help management in taking faster and informed decisions. ICRA Limited (ICRA), one of the leading and reputed credit rating company, has during the year assigned your Company an A1+ rating for its commercial paper programme. This rating is the highest-credit-quality rating assigned by ICRA to short term debt instruments. This rating represents the lowest credit risk in the short term and reflects your Company's relatively stronger credit quality. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS Increased global demand fuelled by growth in end-user industries coupled with your Company's standing for consistent quality and product delivery customised to the needs of the clients, provides good opportunity for growth for the Chemicals division. At the same time, new capacity addition in the industry is likely to increase competition from the supply side. In the Medical Diagnostics Division, the opportunity is the large growing middle class medically aware consumer and the increasing focus on medical insurance. Threat could be obsolescence of technology / products

13


Godrej Industries Limited which are more than 10 years old. The Vegoils division will continue to act as a third party processor in view of good facilities and proximity to the large Mumbai market. Threat could be increased cost of processing in view of rising fuel oil costs and large unutilized refining capacities in the country resulting in uncompetitive pricing. Estate Management business has a potential to increase revenue by giving space on leave and license by optimum re-sizing of the existing operational areas. The factors that can aid further revenue growth include assured power supply, upcoming infrastructural facilities like metro rail and better connectivity that reduces travelling time. RISKS AND CONCERNS Your Company had undertaken a comprehensive review of its risk management process last year and has put a risk management framework in place. 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

14

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, cosmetics 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. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT Some of the statements in this management discussion and analysis describing the Company's objectives, projections, estimates and expectations may be 'forward looking statements' within the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. 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, tax laws, import duties, litigation and labour relations.

Annual Report 2006-2007

SCHEDULE 22 : NOTES TO ACCOUNTS (contd.) 10. Employee Stock Option Plans In December 2005, the Company had instituted an Employee Stock Option Plan (GIL ESOP) approved by the Board of Directors and the shareholders, which provides for the allotment of 15,00,000 options convertible into 15,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 6 each to eligible employees of participating companies. In view of the sub-division of equity shares into face value of Re. 1 each, the total number of options stands automatically increased to 90,00,000 options convertible into 90,00,000 equity shares of Re. 1 each. The scheme is administered by an independent ESOP Trust which purchases from the market shares equivalent to the number of options granted by the participating companies. The Company decided to extend the benefits of the ESOP scheme to other levels of management as approved by the Compensation Committee. During the year, in preparation to extend the scheme to other levels of management, the participating companies provided finance to the ESOP Trust and the ESOP Trust purchased 26,25,000 additional shares during the year.

The options granted shall vest after three 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.

GODREJ INDUSTRIES LIMITED

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS 2006-2007


NOTES


Godrej Industries Limited – Consolidated Accounts REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE GODREJ INDUSTRIES LIMITED ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1.

2.

3.

We have audited the attached Consolidated Balance Sheet of Godrej Industries Limited and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2007, and also the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, both annexed thereto. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Godrej Industries Limited's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 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 whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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. (a)

(b)

(c)

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. 11,682 lakhs as at March 31, 2007, and the group's share of total revenues of Rs. 172,965 lakhs and net cash outflows amounting to Rs. 1,440 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. As stated in Note 2 of Schedule 21, the financial statements of a Jointly controlled entity, whose financial statements reflect the Group's share of total assets of Rs. (276) lakhs as at March 31, 2007 and the Group's share of total revenue of Rs. 851 lakhs and net cash outflow amounting to Rs.262 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. As stated in Note 2 of Schedule 21, the financial statements of certain associates whose financial statements reflect the Group's share of associates' loss upto March 31, 2007 of Rs. 582 lakhs and the share of profit for the year of Rs. 239 lakhs has been included in the consolidated financial statements

on the basis of unaudited management accounts. 4.

We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Godrej Industries Limited in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard (AS) 21 - Consolidated Financial Statements, Accounting Standard (AS) 23 - Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting Standard (AS) 27 - Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

5.

Reference is invited to note 10 of Schedule 21- 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 has in the meanwhile moved the Bombay High Court and the matter is awaiting hearing. The impact thereof on the profit for the year could not be ascertained.

6.

Based on our audit and on consideration of the reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and the management's certification of the unaudited financial statements, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements, subject to the observations in paragraphs 3 and 5 above, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: a)

in case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Godrej Industries Limited Group as March 31, 2007;

b)

in case of the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, of the consolidated results of operations for the year ended on that date; and

SCHEDULE 20 : SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Accounting Convention The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India and the Accounting Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. b) Fixed Assets Fixed Assets are stated at cost or as revalued as the case may be, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenses related to acquisition and installation of the concerned assets. Exchange differences arising on account of repayment and year end translation of foreign currency liabilities relating to acquisition of fixed assets from a country outside India are adjusted to the carrying cost of the respective assets. Fixed Assets acquired under finance lease are capitalised at the lower of their face value and present value of the minimum lease payments. c) Intangible Assets The group has evaluated the useful lives of the Intangible Assets – Goodwill, Trade marks, Non compete fees, Acquisition value of contracts, etc. based on the nature of business, growth rates and estimated discounted cash flows. The intangible assets are amortised over the estimated useful lives as follows. Particulars Goodwill

Estimated useful lives 8 – 10 years 59

Godrej Industries Limited – Consolidated Accounts SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS (contd.)

Particulars Estimated useful lives Trade marks 8 – 15 years Non compete fees 7 – 8 years Acquisition costs of contracts 3 years Trees Development cost 15 years Computer Software 6 years d) Asset Impairment The group reviews the carrying values of tangible and intangible assets for any possible impairment at each Balance Sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceed its recoverable amount. In assessing the recoverable amount, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value based on appropriate discount rates. e) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of the underlying fixed assets are capitalised as a part of the respective asset, upto the date of acquisition/ completion of construction. f) 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. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. g) 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. Construction work-in-progress is valued 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. h) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities 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. i) Foreign Exchange Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the period end exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts, remaining unsettled at the period end, backed by underlying assets or liabilities are also translated at period end exchange rates. Premium or discount on forward exchange contracts is amortised over the period of the contract and recognised as income or expense for the period. Exchange gains/losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account except for exchange differences relating to fixed assets acquired from a country outside India, which are adjusted in the cost of the asset. Non Monetary foreign currency items like investments in foreign subsidiaries are carried at cost and expressed in Indian 60

currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of making the original investment. j) Revenue Recognition Sales are recognised where goods are supplied and are recorded net of returns, trade discounts, rebates, sales taxes and excise duty. Income from processing operations is recognised on completion of production/dispatch of the goods, as per the terms of contract. Export incentives receivable under the Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme and the Duty Drawback Scheme are accounted on accrual basis. Revenue from construction activity is recognized on “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit and Loss Account at the end of the accounting year is recognised 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. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the same is established. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis. Income on assets given on operating lease is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. k) Depreciation Leasehold land is amortised equally over the lease period. Leasehold improvements are amortised over five years. Depreciation is provided on the straight line method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, except in some subsidiary companies, where depreciation has been provided on the written down value method. The impact of the differing method of depreciation has not been ascertained but is not likely to be material. Computer hardware is depreciated over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Depreciation on assets acquired during the year is provided for the full accounting year and no depreciation is charged on the assets sold/discarded during the year, except in case of major additions and deductions exceeding rupees one crore in which case, proportionate depreciation is provided. Depreciation on the revalued component is provided on the straight line method based on the balance useful life of the assets as certified by the valuers. Such depreciation is withdrawn from Revaluation Reserve and credited to Profit and Loss Account. l) Retirement Benefits Retirement benefits to employees comprise payments under defined contribution plans like provident fund and family pension as well as payments under defined benefit schemes like leave encashment benefit on retirement and gratuity to eligible employees. Payments under defined contribution plans are charged to revenue. The liability in respect of defined benefit schemes is provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation at the end of each financial year. m) Deferred Revenue Expenditure The compensation payable under the Voluntary Retirement Schemes, the benefit of which is expected to accrue in future is deferred over its payback period. The compensation is generally amortised over three to five years depending on the payback period.

Net Deferred Tax Liability 10. Loans & Advances : Loans and Advances include Rs. 1,033 lac (Previous year Rs. 1033 lac) advanced by the Company to certain individuals against pledge, by way of deposit, of equity share of Gharda Chemicals Ltd. The Company has enforced its security and lodged the shares for transfer in its name, however, the transfer application has been rejected by Gharda Chemicals Ltd. and the Company has filed an appeal before the Company Law Board. Gharda Cheicals Ltd. has in the meanwhile moved the Bombay High Court and the matter is awaiting hearing. Interest on the aforesaid loans and advances amounting to Rs. 315 lac was accrued upto March 31, 2000 and has been fully provided for, no interest is being accrued thereafter. The recoverability of the advance is contingent upon the transfer and/ or disposal of said shares. In the opinion of the management, the value of the said shares is greater than the amount of the loans and advances. 11. Employee Stock Option Plans : In December 2005, the Group had instituted an Employee Stock Option Plan (GIL ESOP) approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders, which provides for the allotment of 15,00,000 options convertible into 15,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 6 each to eligible employees of participating companies. In view of the sub-division of equity shares into face value of Re. 1 each, the total number of options stands automatically increased to 90,00,000 options convertible into 90,00,000 equity shares of Re 1 each. The scheme is administered by an independent ESOP Trust which purchases from the market shares equivalent to the number of options granted by the participating companies. The Group decided to extend the benefits of the ESOP scheme to other levels of management as approved by the Compensation Committee. During the year, in preparation to extend the scheme to other levels of management, the participating companies provided finance to the ESOP Trust and the ESOP Trust purchased 26,25,000 additional shares during the year.

The options granted shall vest after three 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. The employee share based payment plans have been accounted based on the intrinsic value method and no compensation expense has been recognised 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. Had the fair value method of accounting been used, the employee compensation cost would have been Rs. 204 lac. (Previous year Rs. 204 lac). 12.

PLANT BIOTECH BUSINESS:

Review of Operations During the year under review, a Joint Venture was formed with Gold Coin Group of Singapore. Your Company's shrimp feed business has been transferred to this Joint Venture operating in the name and style of Godrej Gold Coin Aquafeed Limited. The JV company has also taken over the shrimp feed business of Golden Feed Products Limited as well as Gold Coin Group in India. The year under review presented many challenges for your Company. Avian Influenza continuing in the initial months of the Financial Year adversely impacted the performance of your Company. Additionally the high raw material prices put severe pressure on the profitability. The foray into retailing, started by your Company witnessed good expansion during the year under review. However, this initiative being in growth mode has impacted the profitability for the year under review. The impact of the above mentioned factors resulted in profitability declining from Rs. 683 lac to Rs. 275 lac. The total income smartly grew from Rs. 60,556 lac to Rs. 71,285 lac. The business-wise performance is reviewed hereunder: ANIMAL FEEDS: Avian Influenza which was detected in some parts of India in February '06 adversely impacted the Animal Feeds Business. The industry witnessed a degrowth during the year under review. While your Company's performance was impacted during the first half of the year under review, your Company did well to regain its volume and market share in the second half of the year under review. Unprecedented price increases in some of the key raw materials such as maize, impacted the margins adversely. Your Company tried to mitigate this pressure on the bottom line by stepping up its R & D efforts and focusing on various cost saving opportunities. Use of various enzymes and additives which helped in saving substantial cost are a result of these efforts. INTEGRATED POULTRY BUSINESS: The Poultry Business too was adversely impacted by the Avian Influenza. However, with no further outbreak reported during the year, consumer confidence has now been restored. The Poultry Processing Plant at Bangalore has been replaced by a modern, higher capacity plant designed to cater to the requirements of the most demanding customers. A range of frozen Ready to Eat and Ready to Cook vegetarian as well as chicken based products has been launched under the brand name "Yummiez". The "Yummiez" range of products has been received well by the consumers. AGRICULTURAL INPUTS: The Agri Inputs Division has reported an excellent performance with 20% growth in profit. Some of our high contribution products have witnessed good volume growth during the year under review despite the Agri Inputs Industry witnessing a degrowth. Your Company's Agri Exports Division too witnessed a good growth with sales growing by 121% over the previous year. The agricultural exports have expanded both in width and depth with newer territories and product categories being added during the year under review. AADHAAR: In the Financial Year 2006-07 Godrej Aadhaar - the agri services cum retail initiative of your Company opened 20 new outlets taking the total count to 39 outlets covering retail area of over 10,000 sq. met. The Aadhaar outlets have been modified to give a refreshing look and an attractive ambience - factors considered very important for retail. For their Visual Merchandise & Retail Design (VM & RD) work for Godrej Aadhaar, the design agencies have won national level awards from independent trade organizations. Your Company also expanded its Strategic Alliances. Some of the alliance partners who have joined hands with Godrej Aadhaar are Apollo Hospitals, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, Agri Insurance Company, HDFC Bank, John Deere Tractors, Eicher Motors and Western Union Money Transfer Service. All the partners have already started offering their own products and services to customers of Godrej Aadhaar. Your Company has also tied up with petroleum companies like HPCL and BPCL for petro-format Aadhaar outlets - branded as "Aadhaar Suvidha". Keeping in mind the core objective of serving the farmer community of the country Godrej Aadhaar has launched Crop Improvement Programmes (CIPs). These are aimed at ensuring a much higher crop yield and farm productivity to the members of the CIPs.

The Plant Biotech Division has been expanding its operations of Banana plants in the states of UP and Bihar. Yield improvement program of sugarcane is going on well and is expected to be replicated in newer territories. FINANCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS: Your Company was able to procure funds at very competitive pricing in spite of rising interest rate scenario due to efficient treasury operations. Your Company continues to enjoy the apex rating of A1+ from ICRA for it's Commercial Paper Programme of Rs. 15 crore. ICRA had in the previous year put your Company' rating under "rating watch with developing implication". During the year, ICRA removed the rating from "rating watch with developing implication" and confirmed the A1+ rating. During the year, your Company has embarked on implementation of an ERP solution (SAP - IS Retail) for it's retail businesses. IT continues to play a crucial role in the operations of your Company. OTHER INITIATIVES: Your Company's Windmill Power Generation Project at Dhule, Maharashtra has been approved by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Changes (UNFCCC) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) program, enabling your Company to obtain carbon credits for the units generated by the windmills. DIVIDEND Your Directors have declared an interim dividend for 2006-07 amounting to Rs.13.70 per share of face value of Rs. 10/- each, i.e. 137%. No final dividend is recommended. FIXED DEPOSITS Your Company has not accepted any public deposits during the financial year under review.

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

2.

4.

profitability of the joint ventures being non-quantifiable at this stage, we are unable to determine the quantum of the possible diminution in the value of these investments /advances.

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Godrej Agrovet Limited, as at March 31, 2007 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. 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. 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. 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 6 of Schedule 15, during the current year, the Company has changed its accounting policy with respect to depreciation on Staff quarters, Furniture & Fixtures, Office & Other equipments and Vehicles to Straight line method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, from Written down method followed earlier. Computer hardware is being depreciated over a period of four years against 16.31% as per Straight line method earlier. Consequently excess depreciation for the earlier years amounting to Rs. 23,287 thousand has been netted off against depreciation for the year. Had there been no change in the method / rate of depreciation, the charge for the year would have been higher by Rs. 3,993 thousand. Consequently the Net Block of Fixed Assets and Reserves and Surplus are higher by Rs. 27,280 thousands

c)

As referred to in Note 7 of Schedule 15, investments in joint ventures aggregating to Rs. 38,368 thousands, exceeds the book value of the shares of those companies. The Company has also advanced Rs. 40,805 thousands to those companies. However, in view of the benefits of future

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 (c) 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)

INFORMATION IN RESPECT OF JOINT VENTURE (JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITY) Name

CONTINGENT LIABILITY Income Tax Matters

INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES The Company has equity investment of Rs. 37,558 thousand (Previous year Rs. 30,814 thousands) in ACI Godrej Agrovet Private Limited and Rs. 810 thousand (Previous year Rs. 810 thousand) in Al Rahba International Trading LLC. The Company’s investments in Joint ventures are carried at costs, which are higher than their respective book values. The diminution in the value of these investments is considered to be of a temporary nature, in view of the Company’s long–term financial involvement in, and the future profitability projected by the two companies. No provision for diminution in the value of investments is therefore considered necessary in the accounts. Accordingly no provision for Debtors/Loans and advance of Rs. 3,381 thousand (Previous year Rs. 13 thousands) in ACI Godrej Agrovet Private Limited and Rs. 37,424 thousand (previous year Rs. 33,075 thousand) in Al Rahba International Trading LLC is also considered necessary in the accounts.

5.

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Goldmohur Foods and Feeds Limited, as at 31st March, 2007 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. 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. 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.

The same are amortized over a period of 15 years as compared to the recommended period of 10 years mentioned in Accounting Standards 26 Intangible Assets since, in the opinion of the management the Trademarks will have a useful life matching the amortization period. Being a technical matter, we have relied upon the management’s estimates stated in Note 4, which forms the basis of this assumption. 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, 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, 2007; 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, 2007, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we report that, none of the Directors is disqualified as on 31st March, 2007 from being appointed as a Director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the 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 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.

c)

DEPRECIATION/AMORTIZATION Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value basis, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Assets acquired on lease are depreciated over the period of the lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over a period of five years. Intangible Assets are amortized over a period of six years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company is following the “Percentage of Completion Method” of accounting. As per this method, revenue in Profit and 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. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the same is established.

g)

DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FEES The Company has been entering into Development & Project Management agreements with landlords. Accounting for income from such projects is done on accrual basis on percentage of completion or as per the terms of the agreement.

h)

RETIREMENT BENEFITS Retirement benefits to employees comprise payments under defined contribution plans like provident fund and family pension. Payments under defined contribution plans are charged to the Profit and Loss Account. The liability in respect of defined benefit schemes like gratuity and leave encashment benefit on retirement is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation at the end of each year.

i)

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.

j)

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.

k)

PROVISION FOR TAXATION Tax expense comprises both current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current and fringe benefit 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.

SCHEDULE 11 NOTES TO ACCOUNTS & 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. 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. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the same is established. 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 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) 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 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 are no parties within the definition of Small Scale Industrial Undertakings to whom the Company owes any sum.

Loss Carried forward 586319 Depreciation on Fixed Assets 2681 Deferred Tax Asset 589000 Deferred Tax assets on carried forward tax losses have been recognized and carried forward on the ground that there is virtual certainty that sufficient taxable income will arise in future.

SCHEDULE 11 : NOTES TO ACCOUNTS 1. Significant Accounting Policies a. Accounting Convention The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on accrual basis in accordance with the 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. Income recognition: (i) Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the same is established. (ii) Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis. (iii) Profit/loss on sale of investments is accounted on the trade dates. c. 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 decline, other than that 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 investments. d. Taxes on Income Current Tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets subject to the 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 differences at the year end based on the tax rate and laws enacted or substantially enacted on the Balance Sheet date. 2.

Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss for that period. In preparing those accounts, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and - 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 maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the 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. Auditors A resolution to reappoint Graham Moore as auditors will be put the members at the Annual General Meeting. This report was approved by the board on 27 April, 2007. L. ELLIOTT ACCA Secretary

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out therein. RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS As described in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities the company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with applicable law.

Our responsibility is to audit the accounts in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements together with our own professional ethical guidance. We report to you our opinion as to whether the accounts give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts 1931 to 2004.

BASIS OF AUDIT OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the accounts. OPINION In our opinion the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2007and of its profit for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts 1931 to 2004.

Current financial liabilities which comprise current bank borrowings trade and other payables related party payables are measured at cost or if the impact is material at amortised cost using the effective interest method. i)

Significant judgments and key assumptions ●

The significant judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:

Impairment At each balance sheet date management conducts an assessment of property plant equipment and all financial assets to determine whether there are any indications that they may be impaired. In the absence of such indications no further action is taken. If such indications do exist an analysis of each asset is undertaken to determine its net recoverable amount and if this is below its carrying amount a provision is made. ●

Key assumptions made concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

Carrying values of property plant and equipment Residual values are assumed to be zero unless a reliable estimate of the current value can be obtained for similar assets of ages and conditions that are reasonably expected to exist at the end of the assets' estimated useful lives.

Inventory provisions

Revenue

Management regularly undertakes a review of the establishment's inventory stated at

Revenue represents the net amount invoiced for goods delivered during the year.

AED 625311 (previous year AED 590000) in order to assess the likely realisation proceeds taking into account purchase and replacement prices technological changes age likely obsolescence the rate at which goods are being sold and the physical damage. Based on the assessment assumptions are made as to the level of provisioning required.

Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into UAE Dirhams at the rate of exchange ruling on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into UAE Dirhams at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are taken to the income statement.

142

2889601

Financial liabilities are de-recognised when and only when they are extinguished cancelled or expired.

Intangible assets Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Product development expenses are amortised over their estimated useful life of five years.

3485604

246133

Financial assets are de-recognised when and only when the contractual rights to receive cash flows expire or when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

An assessment of residual values is undertaken at each balance sheet date and where material if there is a change in estimate an appropriate adjustment is made to the depreciation charge. b)

(1163496)

286881

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when and only when the establishment becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Doubtful debt provisions Management regularly undertakes a review of the amounts of loans and receivables owed to the establishment either from third parties (see note 6) or from related parties (see note 7) and assesses the likelihood of non-recovery. Such assessment is based upon the age of the debts historic recovery

Assessments of net recoverable amounts of property plant equipment and all financial assets other than loans and receivables (see above) are based on assumptions regarding future cash flows expected to be received from the related assets.

Staff end-of-service gratuity The establishment computes the provision for the liability to staff end-of-service gratuity stated at AED 129165 (previous year AED 92300) assuming that all employees were to leave as of the balance sheet date. The management is of the opinion that no significant difference would have arisen had the liability been calculated on an actuarial basis as salary inflation and discount rates are likely to have approximately equal and opposite affects. j)

The following International Financial Reporting Standards amendments thereto and Interpretations that are assessed by management as likely to have an impact on the financial statements have been issued by the IASB prior to 31 March 2007 but have not been applied in these financial statements as their effective dates of adoption are for future accounting periods as referred to below. It is anticipated that their adoption in the relevant accounting periods will have an impact only on disclosures within the financial statements:

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The management conducts and operates the business in a prudent manner taking into account the significant risks to which the business is or could be exposed. The primary risks to which the business is exposed comprise credit currency liquidity and cash flow interest rate risks. Credit risk is managed by assessing the creditworthiness of potential distributors/customers and the potential for exposure to the market in which they operate combined with regular monitoring and followup. The establishment buys and sells goods and services in foreign currencies. Exposure is minimised where possible by denominating such transactions in US dollars to which the UAE Dirham is pegged. Management continuously monitors its cash flows to determine its cash requirements and makes comparison with its funded and un-funded facilities with banks in order to manage exposure to liquidity risk.

Godrej Global Solutions, Inc. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended March 31, 2007 Note 1 – Nature of the Business Godrej Global Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “GGSI”) was incorporated on January 21, 2005, under the laws of the state of Delaware; however, the Company did not begin its operations until April 8, 2005, when it acquired the assets of another company. The Company’s principal activity is to provide information technology services consisting of business process outsourcing services. Presently, the principal areas of industry it services are claims processing for insurance companies and healthcare third party administrators. Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. At March 31, 2007, cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and short-term investments of $873908. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for that portion of accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible, based upon historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the year. Bad debts expense was $0 for the year ended March 31, 2007. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified. Management has determined that any uncollectible amounts at March 31, 2007, are not material. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The carrying values of long- lived assets are assessed for recoverability by reference to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with them. Where this assessment indicates a deficit, the assets are written down to market value. For assets which do not have a readily determinable market value, the assets are written down to their estimated market value calculated by reference to the estimated future discounted cash flows. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of the written down value or the fair value, less the cost to sell. Goodwill The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill each year. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss is measured and recorded. Revenue Recognition Revenues generated from providing services to customers are recognized at the time the services are being provided. Revenue earned from fixed-price engagements is recognized on a monthly basis during the period when services are being provided. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the future effect on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts for financial statement purposes and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The future effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates or laws is adjusted for on the date of the enactment. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when and if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. To minimize customer credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition are performed, although collateral generally is not required. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts in several institutions which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100000. At March 31, 2007, the Company has approximately $769000 in excess of the FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. During the year ended March 31, 2007 the Company provided services to four customers that constituted approximately 92% of sales. The Company anticipates the growth of the business will overcome any loss of future revenue from these customers. The Company currently uses only one vendor, an affiliate, for the outsourcing of data processing. Management believes the vendor can be replaced with other outsourcing vendors if necessary. Note 3 – Goodwill The total amount the Company paid for the acquisition as of March 31, 2007 is $3675039 of which $650835 has been allocated to intangible assets as the value of the contracts. The remaining amount of $3024204 has been identified as Goodwill. During the year ended March 31, 2007 the Company identified an impairment related to Goodwill as one customer on the customer list did not renew their contract. The amount of impairment reported at March 31, 2007 in other expenses on the statement of operations is $13608. Goodwill is comprised of the following at March 31, 2007: Goodwill Original Goodwill Impairment March 31, 2007 Expertise of employees $ 302420 $– $ 302420 Customer list 907261 (13608) 893653 Entry into U.S. markets 1814523 – 1814523 Total Goodwill $ 3024204 $ (13608) $ 3010596 Note 4 – Stockholder’s Equity Common Shares In April 2005, the Company issued 1000 Common Shares of $0.01 par for $1,000,000 to Godrej Global Solutions (Cyprus) Limited (“GGSC”). Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors.
