We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of M/s GANESH BENZOPLAST LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March, 2023, the statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to financial statements including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2023, the profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended 31st March, 2023 and are therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Ganesh Benzoplast Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditorâs Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the Auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
6. A Companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31stMarch, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company''s directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

ANNEXURE-B TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORâS REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-Section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited internal financial controls over financial reporting of GANESH BENZOPLAST LIMITED (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year then ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities includes design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of business, including adherence to Company''s policies, the safeguarding of the assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (''the Guidance Note'') and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and Guidance note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedure to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A Companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide a reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purpose in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
2. Provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material aspects, an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

7 Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note no.29 to

given to certain parties are subject to confirmation / reconciliation.
10 a) The company has not provided for debts aggregating to Rs. 29.27
Millions in respect of outstanding from one party for a considerable
period of time, which in our opinion are doubtful of recovery. Had the

Rs.(27.99) Millions as against a reported net profit of Rs. 1.28
Millions ,deficit balance in profit and loss account would have been
Rs. 1,741.22 Millions as against Rs. 1,711.95 Millions, balance in

160.41 Millions.

Rs. 36.84 Millions given to various parties outstanding for a
considerable period of time, which in our opinion are doubtful of

profit of Rs. 1.28 Millions, deficit balance in profit and loss account
would have been Rs. 1748.79 Millions as against Rs. 1711.95 Millions,
balance in loans and advances would have been Rs. 490.84Millions as
againstRs. 527.68 Millions .
c) The audit report for the year ended March 31,2013 was also qualified
in respect of the above matter stated in paragraph 10(a) and 10(b)
above..
d) Had the Company accounted for our comments in paragraph 10(a)
and10(b) above there would have been loss for the period amounting to
Rs. 64.83 Millions as against a reported profit of Rs. 1.28 Millions ,
balances in Trade Receivables would have been Rs. 131.14 Millions as
against Rs. 160.41 Millions, balance in loans and advances would have
been Rs. 490.84 Millions as against Rs. 527.68 Millions,Deficit
balance in profit and loss account would have been Rs. 1778.06 Millions
as agains tRs. 1,711.95 Millions.

1 Report on the Financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ganesh
Benzoplast Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at March 31, 2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
2 Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
3 Auditor''s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
4 An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
5 Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information
required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair
view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India:
a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2013;
b) in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the profit/ loss for
the year ended on that date, and
c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
6 Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 ("the
Order") issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Act, we give in the Annexure a

7 Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note no.29 to
notes to accounts to the financial statements. As at March 31, 2013
the company''s accumulated losses of Rs. 1713.24 Millions exceeds its net
worth of Rs. 843.61 Millions. These matters raise substantial doubts
regarding the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, which
is dependent on establishing profitable operations and obtaining
continuing financial support from its shareholders. These mitigating
factors have been more fully discussed in Note no.29 accompanying
financial statements, in view of which the accompanying financial
statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption, and
consequently, no adjustments have been made to the carrying values or
classification of balance sheet accounts.
8 The net worth of the Company has been fully eroded as on March 31,
2013, however the Company had in the earlier years given inter
corporate deposits to certain parties and has also taken loans from
certain parties without passing any special resolution in a general
meeting as required by section 372A and Section 293(1) (d) respectively
of the Companies Act, 1956.
The Impact of our comments in paragraph 8 above, if any, on the
financial statements cannot be ascertained.
9 The balances of the Trade Receivables, Trade Payables and Advances
given to certain parties are subject to confirmation / reconciliation.
10 a) The company has not provided for debts aggregating to Rs. 29.27
Millions in respect of outstanding from one party for a considerable
period of time, which in our opinion are doubtful of recovery. Had the
Company accounted for the same the profit for the period would have
been Rs. 58.01 Millions as against a reported net profit of Rs. 87.28
Millions, deficit balance in profit and loss account would have been Rs.
1,742.51 Millions as againstRs. 1,713.24 Millions, balance in Trade
Receivables would have been Rs. 759.69 Millions as against Rs. 188.96
Millions.
b) The Company has not provided for loans and advances aggregating to Rs.
68.97 Millions given to various parties outstanding for a considerable
period of time, which in our opinion are doubtful of recovery, Had the
Company accounted for the same the profit for the period would have

deficit balance in profit and loss account would have been Rs. 1782.21
Millions as against Rs. 1713.24 Millions, balance in loans and advances
would have been Rs. 363.16 Millions as against Rs. 432.13 Millions.
c) The audit report for the year ended March 31,2013 was also qualified
in respect of the above matter stated in paragraph 10(a) and 10(b)
above..
d) Had the Company accounted for our comments in paragraph 10(a)
and10(b) above there would have been loss for the period amounting toRs.
10.96 Millions as against a reported profit of Rs. 87.28 Millions,
balances in Trade Receivables would have been Rs. 159.69 Millions as
against Rs. 788.96 Millions, balance in loans and advances would have
been Rs. 363.16 Millions as against Rs. 432.73 Millions, Deficit balance in
profit and loss account would have been 1811.48 Millions as againstRs.
1,713.24 Millions.
11. As required by section 227(3) of the Act, we report that:
a) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the
best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our
audit; except balance confirmation/ reconciliation of certain balances.

section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956.

the rate at which the cess is to be paid under section 441A of the
Companies Act, 1956 nor has it issued any Rules under the said section,
prescribing the manner in which such cess is to be paid, no cess is due
and payable by the Company.

1 We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Ganesh Benzoplast
Limited ('the Company') as at March 31, 2011 and also the Profit and
Loss account and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that date
annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.
2 We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes as-
sessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
3 As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 (as
amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and
5 of the said Order.
4 Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 of
Schedule S to the financial statements. As at March 31, 2011 the
company's accumulated losses of Rs.18,123.27 Lacs exceed its net worth
of Rs. 8,696.30 Lacs. These matters raise substantial doubts regarding
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is
dependent on establishing Profitable operations and obtaining continuing
financial support from its shareholders. These mitigating factors have
been more fully discussed in Note 2 of Schedule S to the accompanying
financial statements, in view of which the accompanying financial
statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption, and
consequently, no adjustments have been made to the carrying values or
classification of balance sheet accounts.
5 a) The Company had in the earlier years paid salary to a relative of
a Director amounting to Rs.38.73 Lacs without obtaining approval of the
Central government as required by Section 314 (1B) of the Companies
Act, 1956.
b) The net worth of the Company has been fully eroded as on March 31,
2011, however the Company had in the earlier years given inter corpo-
rate deposits to certain parties without passing any special resolution
in a general meeting as required by section 372A of the Companies Act,
1956.
c) The audit report for the year ended March 31, 2010 was also qualifed
in respect of the above matters stated in paragraph 5(a) and 5(b)
above.
The Impact of our comments in paragraph 5 above, if any, on the
financial statements cannot be ascertained.
6 a) From the analysis of segment wise performance of the Company we
observed that certain fixed assets of chemical segment are not fully
utilized and may need to be impaired as required by Accounting Standard
(AS)28," Impairment of Assets". In the absence of information we are
unable to comment on the extent of impairment if any and accordingly
the effect of the same on the accompanying financial statements is not
ascertainable The audit report for the for the year ended March 31,2010
was also qualified in respect of the above matter.
b) The balances of the Sundry Debtors, Sundry Creditors, and Advances
given to certain parties are in the process of confirmation /
reconciliation. Consequently we are unable to comment on the carrying
values of these balances as recorded in these financial statements and
accordingly the impact of the consequential adjustments on the Profit
and Assets / Liabilities cannot be ascertained.
7 a) The company has not provided for debts aggregating to Rs 259.54
Lacs in respect of outstanding from one party for a considerable amount
of time, which in our opinion are doubtful of recovery. Had the Company
accounted for the same the loss for the period would have been Rs
249.26 Lacs as against Profit of Rs.10.28 Lacs , balance in Profit and
loss account would have been Rs.18,382.81 Lacs as against Rs.18,123.27
Lacs , balance in Sundry Debtors would have been Rs.808.87 Lacs as
against Rs.1,068.41 Lacs.
b) The Company has not provided for loans and advances aggregating to
Rs.302.57 Lacs given to various parties outstanding for a considerable
period of time, which in our opinion are doubtful of recovery, Had the
Company accounted for the same the loss for the period would have been
Rs.292.29 Lacs as against a Profit of Rs.10.28 Lacs balance in Profit and
loss account would have been Rs.18,425.84 Lacs as against Rs 18,123.27
Lacs , balance in loans and advances would have been Rs 2,604.74 Lacs
as against Rs.2,907.31 Lacs. The audit report for the year ended March
31, 2010 was also qualified in respect of the above matter.
c) The Company had in the earlier years after repaying part dues had
entered into "one time settlement"(OTS) with certain lenders and
accordingly in that year Company had credited the principal loan
waiver on those term loans amount which was no longer payable
aggregating to Rs.4,300.73 Lacs to capital reserve as against the
Profit and loss account, Had the company credited the same to Profit
and loss account then Profit for the period would have been 4,311.02
Lacs as against Profit of Rs 10.28 Lacs, debit balance in Profit and
loss account would have been 13,822.54 Lacs as against Rs.18,123.27
Lacs.
d) Had the Company accounted for our comments in paragraph 7(a) to 7(c)
above there would have been Profit for period amounting to Rs 3,748.90
Lacs as against reported Rs.10.28 Lacs, balances in Sundry debtors
would have been Rs.808.87 Lacs as against Rs.1,068.41Lacs, bal- ance in
loans and advances would have been Rs.2,604.74 Lacs as against Rs
2,907.31 Lacs, balance in Profit and loss account would have been
14,384.65 Lacs as against Rs.18,123.27 Lacs .
