Your problem is not clear.
1. "the information as on 31/6/2007" - What is this information?
- Is it estimated Cost given at the time of submitting quotation?

2. When the Co "took a contract for 5lakhs on 01/07/2006".
- was it relevant to declare "materials on hand 30/6/2007"?
Sorry I am unable to give you any reply. pl clarify the same if I misunderstood.
Welcome.
