Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation and presentation 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the 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 financial control relevant to the Company's 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 the 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.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Basis for qualified opinion

1. Inventories '29,01,31,912/-

a. The management has not valued the inventories at lower of cost and net realizable value whichever is lower as required by accounting standard to valuation of inventories but has stated them solely at cost inclusive of taxes and duties. The inventory prepared by the company shows a large amount of inventories very old which are un-useable for manufacturing purposes and are in obsolete nature and have scrap value only. The difference between the valuation of stock at cost and net realizable value whichever is lower and as shown in the books of accounts is substantial. On account of the above loss of the company will be increased and inventories will be decreased. The management has not quantified the difference. This matter was also qualified in audit report of earlier years. b. Stock in transit '4,66,24,216/- :- The raw material was imported in the earlier years and was not cleared from custom authorities. The custom authorities have already issued notices U/s 48 of the Custom Act, 1962 for auction of the above goods. The company has not provided any evidence whether the material is lying with custom authorities or auctioned by them. That in case the Govt. authorities had made the auction of goods the company suffered a loss of '4,66,24,216/-. The custom duty liability of the above goods is about '1.36 crore which is also not provided in the financial statements. This matter was also qualified in audit report of earlier year.

2. Trade receivable long term (due for more than twelve months- unsecured consider doubtful- no provision for doubtful receivable) '12,78,18,588/-:-That the debts were outstanding for a quite period of long time and in our opinion the entire debts are bad and should be w/off in the books of the company. Due to the above opinion the loss of the company will be increased by '12, 78,18,588/- and the trade receivable long term will be reduced by that amount. This matter was also qualified in audit report of earlier year.

3. Short term loans and advances (unsecured consider good) '9,84,72,987/ -('6,84,91,775/-):- The company has given advances '85,76,645/- to five parties during the year for which satisfactory explanation of giving the advances has not been provided. Further it is noticed that the suppliers and tooling amounts recoverable from customers amounting to '7.13 crores are not fulfilling their obligations nor making the payments to the company. The company has not taken proper steps for recovery of the above amounts. That in our opinion the advances under report are doubtful for recovery for which the company should have made the provision for the same. Due to above, the losses of the company will be increased by substantial amount.

4. No Provision has been made in the financial statements for Interest in respect of (i) delayed/ non- payment to suppliers/ service providers which are registered under the provisions of The Micro, Small or Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (ii) delayed payments/outstanding payments in respect various statutory dues such as provident fund, employees' state insurance, income tax, wealth tax, sales tax, excise duty, cess and other statutory dues and (iii) on enhanced cost not paid '2,79,72,000/- to HSIIDC in respect of factory plot at Manesar. This matter was also qualified in audit report of earlier year ;

5. As mentioned in note 11 of the notes to accounts no.29 regarding confirmations of the balances of sundry creditors and debtors, loans and advances, price variance claims and rebate claimed from suppliers have not been obtained and they are subject to reconciliations and subsequent adjustments if any. As such we are unable to express any opinion as to the effect on the financial statements for the year.

6. Going concern concept:- The financial statements indicates that the company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded ( without considering the capital reserves and capital revaluation reserve) and the company has incurred a net cash loss in the current as well as in the preceding financial year. That keeping in view of our audit observations 1 to 5 above, reporting under "Emphasis of matter" as under, report made in (Auditor's report) order, 2015, defaults in repayment of the loans to Banks and financial institutions and the current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at the balance sheet date, it indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that make cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. However the financial statements of the company have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Emphasis of matters

There is no indication to the contrary and accordingly the management is of the view that no impairment provision is called for in these accounts.

The company has already closed down its units at Faridabad, Aurangabad and Pune. The Plant and machinery, Other Fixed assets excluding land and building and stocks have been stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/ at cost respectively, the management has no plans to restart the above units in future. That as per accounting standard-10 "Accounting for fixed assets" such fixed assets is required to be stated at the lower of net book value and net realizable value in the financial statements. The opinion in respect of stocks has already been given above in qualified opinion. The expected losses are to be recognized in the profit and loss statement and such fixed assets should be shown separately in the balance sheet as ' Assets retired from active use and held for disposal. However the company has not followed AS-10 and AS-2 and has not booked expected losses. Further the carrying amount as shown in the financial statement is more than its recoverable amount and the company has not booked impairment loss as required by AS-28 'Impairment of assets'

3. Note No.29- 3(a)- "Contingent liabilities":- The company has inadequate records of Sales tax assessments.

The reports submitted by the branch auditor have been considered by us in oreparation of this report.

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.

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.

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. Opinion

The branch auditors in their audit reports of Pune units have made the following

opinion in respect of the audit of accounts of the said units.

"Due to labour unrest and other practical difficulties, the operations at Pune Units I and II of the company were terminated during the year. Further, the Account Records could not be taken out from the premises of said units and therefore, could not be made available to us for the purpose of Audit. Due to non availability of account records, and other necessary documents, we could not perform any on-site Audit procedures in accordance with generally accepted Auditing Standards in India and therefore, are unable to comment on correctness of the financial statements or otherwise. We are also unable to comment on the adjustments or disclosures, if any, that might have been arisen or required to be reported upon, had we performed on-site Audit procedures." 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 subject to our observations in para. 2(d) below (Report on other legal and regulatory requirements) and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

I. in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2013;

II. in the case of the statement of profit and loss, of the profit for the year ended on that date; and
