Limited ("the Company"), Hubli as at March 31, 2014, the Statement of
Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the period ended on that
date and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
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 notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the
Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated September 13, 2013
of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that 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 entity''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 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.
Basis of Qualified Opinion :
We have relied on the representation of the Company that the amount due
from a customer as referred to in note 21 (iii) of Rs. 1,457,586/- is
good of recovery and no provision is required in respect of the claims
made by the customer of Rs.7,348,629/-. Pending completion of legal
proceedings and in view of uncertainties involved, we are unable to
form any opinion on the matter. Effect of any shortfall in provision
for doubtful debts due to the above on the financial statements is not
ascertainable.
Qualified Opinion ;
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters
described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, the said
financial statements give the information as 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 31,2014
b. In the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the 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. Emphasis of Matter:
Attention of the members is invited to note 32 of the financial
statement regarding reasons for preparing the financial statements of
the Company on going concern basis, not with standing the fact that
networth of the Company is completely eroded. The appropriateness of
the said basis is interalia dependent on the Company''s ability to
execute sale orders and the support of the Company''s bankers and the
Holding Company. We have also relied on the representation of the
Company in this respect.
