financial policies whereby the share of the parent in the associate’s net worth
and profit has been picked up and accounted for under an independent line item

principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis,

of the Companies Act, 2013.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as
current or non-current as per the “Company’s normal operating cycle and other
criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.  Based on the nature of products and the time
between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12
months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and
liabilities.

individual financial statements, which fairly present the needed disclosures.

represent the accounting policies of the consolidated entity and hence are best
viewed in its independent financial statements, Note 2.  However the accounting of derivative
instruments on the basis of the principles of hedge accounting specified in
AS-30 followed by the Associate is in contrast to accounting for the same by
parent (BEL) as a fair value to Profit and Loss account, which has been
adjusted to be consistent with the accounting policies followed by the Company
(BEL).  Other accounting policies
followed by the associate consolidated herein have been reviewed and no further
adjustments are considered necessary.
