Legally, you cannot alter the balance sheet after it is approved by the shareholders. Infact any figures is wrong in the Balance sheet, then your directors are criminally liable for wrong statements in the Balance Sheet.

thanks for ur rply. They say that it is only regrouping of expenses and to this effect a note has been given in the notes to accounts.

However , I find that the total income of 2007 has been reduced as per 2008-2009 annual report
