NOIDA TOLL BRIDGE COMPANY LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Corporate Information

Noida Toll Bridge Company Limited (NTBCL) is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India on 8th April 1996 with its registered office at Toll Plaza, DND Flyway, Noida - 201301, Uttar Pradesh, India. The equity shares of NTBCL are publicly traded in India on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. NTBCL launched the issue of global depository receipts (GDRs) represented by equity shares in March 2006. The GDRs of NTBCL are traded on Alternate Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.

The NTBCL has been set up to develop, establish, construct, operate and maintain a project relating to the construction of the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge under the "Build-Own-Operate-Transfer" (BOOT) basis. The Delhi Noida Toll Bridge comprises the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge, adjoining roads and other related facilities, the Ashram flyover which has been constructed at the landfall of the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge and the Mayur Vihar Link and it operates under a single business and geographical segment (Refer Note 27).

(b) Service Concession Arrangement entered into between IL&FS, NTBCL and NOIDA

A 'Concession Agreement' entered into between the NTBCL, Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited (IL&FS, the promoter company) and the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority, Government of Uttar Pradesh, conferred the right to the Company to implement the project and recover the project cost, through the levy of fees/ toll revenue, with a designated rate of return over the 30 years concession period commencing from 30 December 1998 i.e. the date of Certificate of Commencement, or till such time the designated return is recovered, whichever is earlier. The Concession Agreement further provides that in the event the project cost together with the designated return is not recovered at the end of 30 years, the concession period shall be extended by 2 years at a time until the project cost and the return thereon is recovered. The rate of return is computed with reference to the project costs, cost of major repairs and the shortfall in the recovery of the designated returns in earlier years. As per the certification by the independent auditors, the total recoverable amount comprises project cost and 20% designated return. NTBCL shall transfer the Project Assets to the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority in accordance with the Concession Agreement upon the full recovery of the total cost of project and the returns thereon.

New Okhla Industrial Development Authority had initiated preliminary discussion with the Company to consider modification of some the terms and conditions of the Concession Agreement. Pending outcome of such discussions, the accounts have been prepared based on extant Concession Agreement. Further details of concession agreement are given in Note 28.

(c) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of Noida Toll Bridge Company Limited and its subsidiary ('the Group') have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations as laid down by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)

These consolidated financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with the going-concern principle and on a historical cost basis, except for available-for sale investments that have been measured at fair value. The presentation and grouping of individual items in the statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flow, as well as the changes in equity, are based on the principle of materiality.

(d) Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. Judgements and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Recognition of Concession Agreement as an Intangible Asset

(i) Basis of accounting for the service concession

The Group has determined that IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements is applicable to the Concession Agreement and hence has applied it in accounting for the concession.

The directors have determined that the intangible asset model in IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangement is applicable to the concession. In particular, they note that users pay tolls directly so the grantor does not have the primary responsibility to pay the operator.

In order to facilitate the recovery of the project cost and 20% designated returns through collection of toll and development rights, the grantor has guaranteed extensions to the terms of the Concession, initially set at 30 years. The Group has received an "in-principle" approval for development rights from the grantor. However the Group has not yet entered into any agreement with the grantor which would constitute an assurance from the grantor to facilitate the recovery of shortfalls. Management recognizes that the development right agreement when executed will give rise to intangible assets in their own right.

Disclosures for Service Concession Arrangement as prescribed under SIC 29 Service Concession Arrangements - Disclosure have been incorporated into the financial statements.

(ii) Significant assumptions in accounting for the intangible asset

On completion of construction of the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge (6 February 2001), the rights under the Concession Agreement have been recognized as an intangible asset, received in exchange for the construction services provided. Construction costs include besides others, expenditure incurred and provisions for outstanding capital commitments on the Ashram Flyover, which was significantly completed on the date of recognition of the intangible asset. This section of the bridge was commissioned on 30th October 2001. The intangible asset received has been measured at fair value of the construction services as of US$ 112,391,294 as on the date of commisioning. The Group has recognized a profit of US$ 32,591,491, which is the difference between the cost of construction services rendered (the cost of the project asset of US$ 79,799,802) and the fair value of the construction services.

The Directors have concluded that as operators of the bridge, they have provided construction services to NOIDA, the grantor, in exchange for an intangible asset, i.e. the right to collect toll from road-users during the Concession period.

Accordingly, the Group has measured the intangible asset at cost, i.e. the fair value of the construction services as at 6 February 2001, the date of completion of construction and commissioning of the asset.

The key assumptions used in establishing the cost of the intangible asset are as follows:

Construction of the DND Flyway commenced in 1998 and was completed on 6 February 2001. The exchange of construction services for an intangible asset is regarded as a transaction that generates revenue and costs, which have been recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the construction. Contract revenue has been measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable. Hence in each of the years of construction, construction revenue has been calculated at cost plus 17.5% and the corresponding construction profit has been recognized through retained earnings.

Management has capitalised qualifying finance expenses until the completion of construction.

The intangible asset is assumed to be received only upon completion of construction. Until then, management has recognised a receivable for its construction services. The fair value of construction services have been estimated to be equal to the construction costs plus margin of 17.5% and the effective interest rate of 13.5% for lending by the grantor. The construction industry margins range between 15-20% and management has determined that a margin of 17.5% is both conservative and appropriate. The effective interest rate used on the receivable during construction is the normal interest rate which grantor would have paid on delayed payments.

The intangible asset has been recognised on the completion of construction, i.e. 6th February 2001.

The management considers that they will not be able to earn the designated return under the Concession Agreement over 30 years. The company has an assured extension of the concession as required to achieve project cost and designated returns (see Note 1(b) above). Based on the independent professional expert's advice, the company has estimated the life of the bridge to be of 100 years. The intangible asset is being amortised over the same useful life under to unit of usage method.

Development rights will be accounted for as and when exercised.

Construction of the Mayur Vihar Link commenced in 2006-07. NTBCL has obtained land from Noida for the construction of the Mayur Vihar Link vide Supplement to Noida Land Lease Deed executed between them. As per the terms of said lease deed Mayur Vihar Link Road will form part of Noida Bridge Project and the expenditure incurred by NTBCL on it shall be included in the cost of Noida Bridge with respect to the concession agreement. As the Mayur Vihar Link fall under the jurisdiction of Delhi Government, Municipal Corporation of Delhi vide confirmation agreement dated 9th January 2005 agreed not to declare the Mayur Vihar Link as public street and to recognize the right of NTBCL to operate and maintain the Mayur Vihar Link as a private street and charge user a user the fees in respect thereof. This right has been recognized as an intangible asset, received in exchange for the construction services provided to the grantor of the concession agreement. The intangible asset received has been measured at fair value of construction services as of US $ 15,961,837. The Group has recognized a profit of US $ 3,662,423 which is the difference between the cost of construction services rendered (the cost of project asset of US$ 12,299,414) and the fair value of the construction services.

The key assumptions used in establishing the cost of the intangible asset (i.e. right to collect toll on Mayur Vihar Link) are as follows:

Construction commenced in June 2006 and was completed on January 19, 2008. The exchange of construction services for an intangible asset is regarded as a transaction that generates revenue and costs, which have been recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the construction. Contract revenue has been measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable. Hence in each of the year of construction, construction revenue has been calculated at cost plus 17.5% and the corresponding construction profit has been recognized through construction revenue.

Management has capitalised qualifying finance expenses until the completion of construction.

The intangible asset is assumed to be received upon the completion of the construction and during the construction phase, management has recognised it as additions to the Intangible assets. The fair value of construction services have been estimated to be equal to the construction costs plus margin of 17.5% and the effective interest rate of 12.5% for lending by the grantor. The construction industry margins range between 15-20% and management has determined that a margin of 17.5% is both conservative and appropriate. The effective interest rate used on the receivable during construction is the normal interest rate which grantor would have paid on borrowing obtained.

The management considers that they will not be able to earn the designated return under the Concession Agreement over 30 years. The company has an assured extension of the concession as required to achieve project cost and designated returns (see Note 1(b) above). As the lease period for the land is coterminous with the concession agreement, this intangible asset is being amortised over the remaining life of the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge from the date of commissioning of the Mayur Vihar Link Road under unit of usage method.

(e) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Noida Toll Bridge Company Limited and its subsidiary ITNL Toll Management Services Limited. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

(f) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of Noida Toll Bridge Company Limited and ITNL Toll Management Services Limited is Indian Rupees. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the income statement.

The presentation currency is US$. For the purpose of translation from functional currency to presentation currency, assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented is translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet. Income and expense for each income statement and cash flow statement presented is translated using a weighted average rate and all resulting exchange difference is recognised as a separate component of equity.

(g) Intangible Assets

Construction on the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge was completed and made operational on 6th February 2001. The Ashram Flyover's construction, which was significantly complete on that date, was commissioned on 30th October 2001. Collectively referred to as the "Bridge", the completed construction has been recognised as an intangible asset on 6th February 2001, in accordance with the guidelines given for recognition and measurement for service concession agreements on adoption of IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangement.

Construction on Mayur Vihar Link Road which has been completed and made fully operational on January 19, 2008 has been recognised as intangible asset, in accordance with the guidelines given for recognition and measurement for service concession agreements in IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangement.

The value of the intangible asset was measured on the date of completion of construction at the fair value of the construction services provided which has been recognised as the intangible asset's cost. It is being amortised under unit of usage method over the balance period of the estimated useful life. The amortisation expense is recognised in the income statement as part of operating and administrative expenses. The carrying value is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Management reviews the estimated useful life of the rights and number of vehicles expected to use the facility at periodical intervals.

Specific policies that apply to the intangible assets are as follows:

Construction services

Construction services exchanged for the intangible asset included all costs that related directly to the construction of the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge / Mayur Vihar Link including valuation of all work done by subcontractors, whether certified or not, and all overheads other than those relating to the general administration of the Group.

Construction profit

Construction profit is the difference between the fair value of the consideration receivable and the construction services provided in building the Bridge.

Borrowing costs

Project specific borrowing costs were capitalised until the completion of construction services. Where funds are temporarily invested pending their expenditures on the qualifying asset, any investment income, earned on such fund is deducted from the borrowing cost incurred.

Maintenance obligations

Contractual obligations to maintain, replace or restore the infrastructure (principally resurfacing costs and major repairs and unscheduled maintenance which are required to maintain the Bridge in operational condition except for any enhancement element) are recognised and measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The provision is discounted to its present value at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(h) Property, Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met.

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

(i) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Building 62 years

Data Processing Equipment 3 years

Office Equipment 5 years

Vehicles 5 years

Furniture & Fixtures 7 years

Advertisement Structure 5 years

(j) Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets (Non derivative) are classified as either loans and receivables or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Investments (Available-for-sale financial assets)

All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment.

After initial recognition available-for sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement.

(k) Inventories

Inventories of Electronic Cards (prepaid cards), "On Board Units" and consumables are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is recognised on First In First Out basis.

(l) Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprises of cash at bank and in hand.

(m) Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any transaction costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.

(n) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as other finance expense

(o) Employee costs, Pensions and other post-employment benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, paid annual leave and sick leave are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.

The Group has three funded retirement benefit plans in operation viz. Gratuity, Provident Fund and Superannuation. The Superannuation Fund and Provident Fund are defined contribution schemes whereby the Group has to deposit a fixed amount to the fund every year / month respectively.

The Gratuity plan for the Group is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing benefits under gratuity is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the period in which they occur and directly in equity through the income statement.

(p)Leases

Finance leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on the straight line basis over the lease term.

(q) Impairment

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

(r) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or

the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

(s)Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue comprises:

Toll Revenue

Toll Revenue is recognised in respect of toll collected at the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge and the attributed share revenue from prepaid cards.

License Fee

License fee income from advertisement hoardings & office premises is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with contractual obligations.

Service Charges

Service charges are recognised on accrual basis in respect of revenue recovered for the various business auxiliary services provided to the parties.

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).

Investment income

The profit or loss on sale of investments is the difference between the net sale consideration and the carrying amount. Related fair value movements are derecognised from net unrealised gains reserve and transferred to the income statement at the time of sale.

Other Income

Other income comprises service fee and miscellaneous income which are recognised on receipt basis.

(t) Income tax

Current tax represents the amount that would be payable based on computation of tax as per prevailing taxation laws under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses (where such right has not been forgone), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

(u)BorrowingCosts

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Where funds are temporarily invested pending their expenditures on the qualifying asset, any such investment income, earned on such fund is deducted from the borrowing cost incurred.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as interest expense in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

(v) Share based payment transactions

Equity-settled, share option plan are valued at fair value at the date of the grant and are expensed over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The share awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation method.

The Group recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(w) Securities Premium

Securities premium represent the amount being difference between the issue price and the face value of the securities issued by the company. Securities premium have been recognized as separate component of the equity. Under the Indian Companies Act 1956, securities premium have restricted usage. Securities premium has been adjusted to the extent utilized for the purposes allowed under the Indian Companies Act, 1956 and disclosed in the statement of equity.

(x) Debenture Redemption Reserve

Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) represents the reserve created for the redemption of the Deep Discount Bond (DDBs). Under the Indian Companies Act 1956, DRR is to be created out of the profits for the year in financial statement prepared under Indian GAAP. The group recognized the DRR for an amount equal to the issue price of the DDBs by apportioning from the profit of the year under Indian GAAP a sum calculated under sum of digit method. DRR has been recognized as separate component of equity. On redemption of the DDBs, DRR is to be transferred to general reserve.

(y) Fair Value Measurement

The company measures financial instruments, such as, available for sale investment and non-financial assets such as intangible assets, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair Value Measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumption that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non financial asset takes into account a market participants ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured and disclosed financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (Unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis the company determines whether transfers have occurred levels in hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

(z) Dividend

Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.

(za) New Accounting standards:

The group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards w.e.f. April 01, 2013

a) IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

b) IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

c) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

d) IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement

e) IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

f) IAS 19(Amended), Employee Benefits

Adoption of these standards are either not relevant to or have no significant impact on the financial statement.

New Standards to be applicable at later date

In November 2009, IASB has issued IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments on the classification and measurement of financial assets". IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the many different rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. IFRS 9 was further amended in October 2010 and such amendment introduced requirement on accounting for financial liabilities. This amendment addresses the issue of volatility in the profit or loss due to changes in the fair value of an entity's own debt. IFRS 9 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Earlier application is permitted.

In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities which clarify when an entity has a legally enforceable right to set-off and when gross settlement is equivalent to net settlement The group is required to adopt amendments to IAS 32 by accounting year commencing April 1, 2014.

As per management evaluation, application of above IFRSs would not have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the group on its application.

Debt Restructuring

During the initial years of commencing operations, actual cash inflows were significantly lower than anticipated as toll traffic/ revenue did not meet the levels anticipated in the projections, resulting in the Group's inability to comply with certain financial covenants stipulated in the original borrowing agreements with its lenders. The cash flow situation also impacted the Group's ability to complete the links to augment traffic and to continue servicing its then repayment schedule for debt obligation. The Group, decided to rationalise its debt structure and commenced negotiations with lenders to restructure the debt, in particular, the interest rate, in order to align its debt servicing requirements more closely to its available cash flows.

At a meeting of the Senior Lenders of NTBCL on 26 March 2002, the Lenders approved the formation of a Debt Restructuring Committee, as per the Reserve Bank of India Guidelines comprising of the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI), State Bank of India (SBI) and the IL & FS for finalization of the restructuring proposal within 30 days of the meeting.

An application was filed on 23 July 2002 for the restructuring of the debts of the company under the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism. On 6 January 2003, the Company received communication from the CDR Cell approving the proposed restructuring programme at the CDR Empowered Group Meeting on 29th October 2002. On approval, the CDR scheme became effective from 1 April 2002.

The above restructuring covered the term loans from financial institutions, banks and others.

For Deep Discount Bond Holders, who were not within the above restructuring arrangement, the Group, with the consent of the requisite majority of the secured creditors applied for and filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court for approval of a restructuring proposal. The restructuring arrangement was sanctioned by the Court on 24 October 2005.

Deep Discount Bonds

NTBCL issued Deep Discount Bonds (DDBs) of US $ 11,504,832 (100,000 DDB of US $ 115.05 each) on 3rd November 1999 with redemption value US $ 1035.43 at the end of 16th year with an average annualised yield of 14.67%. Nominal Value and Issue Amount were at par.

In accordance with the terms of restructuring scheme of Deep Discount Bonds, the outstanding 10,815 DDBs (Net of repayments made) would mature on 3rd November 2015 and maturity value of the bond as per the revised terms would be US $ 521.26 each. However, NTBCL would have the right to call/ purchase DDBs from the holders at any time after effective date of 24th November 2005 as defined in the scheme with interest calculated @ 13.70% per annum till 31 March 2002 and at 8.5% per annum thereafter up to the date of the payment.

Term Loan from Financial Institutions and Others

As per the restructuring of term loans, fifty percent of the outstanding loan i.e. US$ 10,817,895 has been retained as term loan carrying interest of 12.5% per annum and the same is repayable by 2010 - 2014. The effective rate of interest, considering the overall repayment schedule, work out to 8.5% per annum. Term loan has been fully repaid since then.

Infrastructure Development Finance Company Limited (IDFC) has converted US$ 12,701,026 being the value of DDBs purchased by them under the scheme of restructuring of DDBs into the term loan. The term loan is repayable during 2010-14. The loan carries interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum payable quarterly on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December every year. The Company had fully repaid the same since then.

Term Loan from Banks

NTBCL had taken term loans from a consortium of eight banks at interest ranging from 13.50% to 14.50% per annum. Post restructuring, the term loans from banks, amounting to US$ 28,000,000 carry interest at a rate of 8.5%. The term loans from banks are payable during 2004-13 and has been fully repaid since then.

Term Loan from IL&FS

NTBCL on 29th March 2005, took financial assistance of US$ 8,000,000 from IL&FS to repay certain amounts to the existing lenders, which had fallen due on 31 March 2005. Interest on the loan is stepping up in certain years and there is terminal interest to be paid. The loan alongwith terminal interest was repayable by 31 March 2017 as per the agreed payment schedule. By virtue of an amendment in the agreement the repayment of the principal amount and the terminal interest has been changed and entire sum is to be repaid by July, 2015 and US$ 7,168,053/- has been repaid till the date of financial statement. However the effective rate of interest remains to be 12.48% per annum.

IL&FS has converted US$ 8,467,351 being the value of DDBs purchased by them under the scheme of restructuring of DDBs into the term loan. The term loan is repayable during 2010 -14. The loan carries interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum payable quarterly on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December every year. The term loan has been fully repaid since then.

NTBCL on 21st February, 2006 had acknowledged the loan of US$ 2,786,671 from IL&FS taken for the purpose of restructuring the Group's DDBs. The loan is repayable during 2010 -14. The loan carries interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable quarterly on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December every year. The term loan has been fully repaid since then.

The carrying values of all interest bearing loans and borrowings are representative of their fair values at respective balance sheet dates. The interest bearing loans & borrowings having a maturity period of more than a year are classified as non current liabilities and those that have an original maturity period of 1 year or less are classified as current liabilities.

All interest bearing loans and borrowings are secured by a charge on all tangible and intangible assets of the Group. However the Group has recognised the right to receive toll income as an intangible asset at fair value of construction services rendered to the grantor in compliance with IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangement. The charge on Delhi Noida Toll Bridge (Project Assets) created in favor of lenders for interest bearing loans and borrowings continue to remain against project assets now classified as intangible asset.

However pending final settlement of the dues the company had estimated the cost of US$ 0.49 million and provided for. The actual settlement may result in possible but not probable obligation to the extent of additional US$ 0.50 million based on management estimates.

2. The Company had applied for and was granted renewal of permission from Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to display advertisementsfor a period of five years w.e.f1.8.2009 subject to payment of monthly license fee @ US$ 1.91/- per sq.ft. of the total display area or 25% of the gross revenue generated out of display whichever was higher. The Company has been sharing 25% of the revenue with MCD since inception. The Company contested the aforesaid imposition @ US$ 1.91/- on the ground that same was not permitted by the 2008 Outdoor Advertisement policy. The MCD, however cancelled the permission vide Order dated 10.05.2010 for nonpayment @ US$ 1.91/-. The Company filed a Writ Petition before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court for quashing of the aforesaid Order.

After hearing the submissions of the Company, the Hon'ble Court vide order dated 25.05.2010 stayed the operation of the impungned order subject to NTBCL depositing 50% of the arrears of License fee to be calculated @ Rs. US$ 1.91/- per sqft of the display and continuing to deposit license fee at the said rate every month till the final disposal of the Writ Petition.

Though the matter is sub judice, company as an abundant caution, has decided to provide for license fee as demanded by MCD in full. Necessary adjustment, if any, would be made on disposal of writ petition.

24. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are aimed at procuring funding for the construction of the bridge and additional links and to provide working capital to operate the bridge. The Group manages its financial risk by securing cost effective funding for the Group's operations and minimizing the adverse effects of fluctuations in the financial markets on the value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, on reported profitability and on the cash flows of the Group. The principal financial instruments comprise deep discount bonds, term loans from banks and other financial institutions, current accounts with banks and cash and short-term investments. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risk arising from the Group's financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing these risks as summarised below.

.

Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long term debt obligations. The Group's policy is to manage its interest cost using only fixed rate debts or step up rates with fixed period for related party debts.

Liquidity risk

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of term loans with banks and other financial institutions, and other loan instruments. The Group has in the past undertaken necessary restructuring of its loans and obligations to ensure its ability to service interest and debt repayments effectively.

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised creditworthy third parties. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, loans and advances and available-for-sale financial assets, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. However wherever management feels adequate, obtain collateral in the form of bank guarantees or security deposits from the third parties.

25. Financial Instruments

Fair Values

The carrying value of all financial assets and liabilities are representatives of their fair values at respective balance sheet date. The carrying value of the fixed rate debts of the Group are considered to be equal to their fair value following debt restructuring, which resulted in a reduction of the effective interest rate of all debt (Note 12).

Interest Rate Risk

The following table set out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the Group's financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

Management determined that the intangible assets constitute one class of asset under IFRIC 12, based on the nature, characteristics and risk of the asset.

27. Segment Reporting

The Concession Agreement with NOIDA confers certain economic rights to the Group. These include rights to charge toll and earn advertisement revenue, development income and other economic rights. The income stream of the Group comprises of toll income and advertising income for the period for which IFRS compliant financial statements of the Group have been prepared.

Both these rights are directly or indirectly linked to traffic on the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge and are broadly subject to similar risks. Toll revenue is fully variable while license fee from advertisement is fixed to a certain extent. The operating risk in both the cases is similar and the expenses cannot be segregated as the Company does not have separate departments for the management of each activity. The Management Information System also does not capture both activities separately. As both emanate from the same Concession Agreement and together form a part of the Return as specified in the Concession Agreement, the Group does not have different business reporting segments.

Similarly, the Group operates under a single geographical segment.

28. Salient aspects of Service Concession Arrangement

NOIDA has irrevocably granted to NTBCL the exclusive right and authority during the concession period to develop, establish, finance, design, construct, operate, and maintain the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge as an infrastructure facility.

NOIDA has further granted the exclusive right and authority during the concession period in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement to:
