Once we will understand the ethanol projections, we will start creating assumption sheet, wherein we will project order flows for ethanol, brewery and emerging segment for the company over the period of next 2 years. Further, we will project revenues for each segment based on book to bill and execution ratio of the company. Thereafter, we will start projecting the operating margins through top down approach and will go through the conference transcript of the company to understand the expectation of management for OPM over the period of next 2 years. We will also create Asset schedule and debt schedule to project depreciation and interest cost. Once we will complete the projection of depreciation and interest cost, we will finally project other income. Other income will be calculated based on Cash yield.
