As per the terms with one of the foreign agency, it received USD 500,000/- for research works. 80% of this i.e. USD 400,000/- is to be transferred to organizations in other countries for research.

IF yes, how should the profit/loss on this to be recognised? Will it to be credited to the P&L of the company? Is it a loss/profit arising out of the company's business?
