D. Intangible Assets Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition. E. Debrciation and Amortisation Debrciation on fixed assets is provided as per schedule II of the companies act, 2013. The carrying value of useful lives of assets already exhausted has been adjusted in the opening value of reserves as per transition provisions. Leasehold land is not amortised. F. Impairment of Assets An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cast of asset exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired.

(c) Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on translation is recognised in the Profit and Loss account except in case of long term liabilities, where they related to acquisition of fixed assets, in which case they are adjusted to the carrying cost of such assets. H. Investments Long Term Investments are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made inly if such a decline is other than temporary. I.
