Schedules to the Accounts Schedule 19: Notes to Accounts 1. Nature of Operations The Hindustan Times Limited is engaged in real estate and investment activities. The Company derives revenue from rent and service charges from properties and dividend, interest income from investments made and revenue from trading of shares, derivatives and units of mutual funds. 2. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the notified accounting standards by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and except for change in accounting policy described fully in (c ) below, are consistent with those used in the previous year. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. (c ) Change in Accounting Policy for Fixed Maturity Plans During the year, the Company has not recognized income on investments made in units of fixed maturity plans ('FMP') of mutual funds, as the management believes it is more prudent to do so, considering these units can no longer be ISIEmergingMarketsPDF in-microseccap1 from 125.99.75.25 on 2011-08-09 12:43:10 EDT. DownloadPDF. redeemed with the Funds prior to their maturity. This is a change in accounting policy from earlier years, when the income on the FMP was recognized based on yield earned and to the extent of reasonable certainty. The management has not calculated the impact of such change in accounting policy and believes it is a fair presentation of financial statements. (d) Fixed Assets Fixed Assets are stated at Cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may be), less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. (e) Depreciation Leasehold Land (except land acquired on perpetual lease basis) are amortized over the useful life or unexpired period of lease (whichever is lower) on a straight-line basis. Depreciation on all other assets is provided on Written Down Value Method at the rates computed based on estimated useful life of the assets, which are equal to the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Assets costing below Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition. (f) Impairment The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of asset over its remaining useful life.

(I) Provisions A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the each Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provision for expenditure relating to voluntary retirement is made when the employee accepts the offer of early retirement and such provision amount is charged to Profit and Loss Account in the year of provision. (m) Income Tax Tax expense comprises of current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current income tax and fringe benefit tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arid deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the ISIEmergingMarketsPDF in-microseccap1 from 125.99.75.25 on 2011-08-09 12:43:10 EDT. DownloadPDF. be realised. case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available. MAT credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period. (n) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. (o) Segment Information Identification of segments: The Company's operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of income, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The Company renders its rental services within India with nil export income and does not have any operations in economic environments with different risks and returns, hence, it is considered operating in a single geographical segment.

Allocation of common costs: Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment according to the relative contribution of each segment to the total common costs. Unallocated items: The Corporate and Other segment include general corporate income and expense items, which are not allocated to any business segment. (p) Leases Where the Company is the lessee Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Where the Company is the lessor Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation are recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss Account. (q) Cash and Cash equivalents Cash and Cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. (r) Derivative Instruments

As per the ICAI Announcement, accounting for derivative contracts, other than those covered under AS-11, are marked to market on a portfolio basis, and the net loss after considering the offsetting effect on the underlying hedge item is charged to the income statement. Net gains are ignored.

3.

(a) The Company has accounted for deferred tax assets (net) amounting to Rs. 102,920 thousands till March 31, 2010. The Company has set off entire unabsorbed depreciation during the year and also earned cash profit of Rs. 548,251 thousands (Previous year Rs 373,015 thousands). In view of convincing evidence in respect of rental agreements and based on future profitability projections, the Company is confident that subsequent realization of the deferred tax assets created is reasonably certain in the near future. (b) The Company has MAT Credit entitlement of Rs. 97,030 thousand as at March 31, 2010 which has not been accounted for in these financial statements, as the management believes that there is not enough convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period in which MAT credit is allowable and thus, is of the view that it is more prudent not to recognize the MAT credit entitlement asset, till the time the Company actually utilize this MAT credit. Hence, no adjustment has been deemed necessary in the financial statements in this regard.

4.

The Company is disputing House Tax demands of Rs. 74,536 thousands though raised but has been kept in abeyance by New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) till the matter is decided by Honorable High Court of Delhi in another case NDMC for the building at 18-20, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, New Delhi, for the years from 1994-1995 to 2005-2006. The said demands have been fully provided for. Further, the Company has accrued differential house tax liability amounting to Rs. 102,938 thousands (previous year Rs. 62,205 thousands), being the amount payable to NDMC computed in accordance with the provisions of the NDMC Act, 1994 on the basis of 'rateable value' of the area let out.

5.

As the breakup value of shares held as long-term investments in a listed company as on March 31, 2010 is more than the cost price, the diminution in the value of said investment amounting to Rs. 2,381 thousands (Previous year, Rs. 2,381 thousands) based on the market value as at March 31, 2010, is considered to be temporary in nature. The investments are strategic in nature, accordingly no provision for the diminution has been made. THE [HINDUSTAN TIMES LIMITED o ANNUAL REPORT 2010

The Company has, on October 1, 2004, sold the printing undertaking at Delhi to HT Media Limited (a subsidiary company). The writ petition filed by the ex-workmen of the Company challenging the transfer of business was quashed by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court on May 9, 2006.Thereafter, the ex-workmen of the Company raised the industrial dispute before Delhi Government, who referred the dispute to Industrial Tribunal-l, Karkardooma Courts, New Delhi (Tribunal). During the course of the proceedings before Tribunal, the ex-workmen moved application for interim relief. The Tribunal vide its order dated March 8, 2007, granted interim relief to the ex-workmen of the Company to the extent of 50% of last drawn wages from the date of such order till the disposal of the matter. However, the Company challenged the said order before Hon'ble Delhi High Court in a Writ Petition, wherein the Hon'ble Court modified the order of the Tribunal to the extent that the amount equivalent to 50% so received by ex-workmen will be set off against their retrenchment compensation (not encashed by the above ex-workmen till date), in the event of Company succeeding in the writ petition. The Hon'ble Court further clarified that payment will be made only from date of the High Court order (i.e. March 23, 2007) till the disposal of writ petition and it further stayed the order and proceedings pending before the Tribunal. The said writ stands disposed of by Delhi High Court vide order dated January 16, 2009 by holding that it was agreed between the parties to make the payment to ex-workmen till the amount of their Retrenchment Compensation is exhausted. The stay on the proceedings before the Industrial Tribunal was also vacated by High Court and accordingly proceedings before the Industrial Tribunal has restarted. In the meanwhile the workmen in question in the said Writ Petition has filed contempt petition against the Company and its Directors and is pending before the court. Considering the merits of the case and discussions with solicitors, the Company believes that there is fair chance of decision in its favour and hence no provision is considered necessary against the same at this point of time.
