This report is supplementary to our earlier audit report dated 3rd
September, 2014 in light of the revision of financial statements
consequent to the audit observations of the Comptroller and Auditor
General of India. This report supersedes our earlier audit report dated
3rd September,2014.
Report on Financial Statements:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of THE MYSORE
PAPER MILLS LIMITED, ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at March 31, 2014 and the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash
Flow Statement for the year then ended, 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 Flow 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")read with general circular
15/2013 dated 13th September, 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 presentation of the
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors'' 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 auditorÂs 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 CompanyÂs
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 entityÂs internal control. 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.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. As stated in note 2.12(b) Company has not identified the non moving
stores & spares and has made the provision of Rs.640.86 lacs for the
same on adhoc basis instead of making provision on determined non
moving stores and spares as stated in significant accounting policy
1.02 (iv). In the absence of details, the impact of the same on the
financial statement of the company can not be quantified.
2. As stated in Note 3.03 Rs. 201.47 lacs interest on purchase tax is
not provided in the books. Hence the loss for the year and other
current liability is under stated to that extent.
3. An alleged fraud on the company perpetrated by an employee reported
during the year vide office memo FPR/507/DSP/2013-14 dtd: 28/10/2013
and 5/ 2/2014 amounting to Rs.48.05 lacs for the years 2008 to 2014.
The alleged fraud is not reflected in the books of the company pending
finality of the enquiry. Hence we are unable to quantify the impact of
the same on the financial statements of the company for the year
4. Reference is drawn to Note 3.06, wherein no provision has been made
towards the disputed interest amounting to Rs. 1042.86 Lacs. As a
result Loss for the current year is under stated to that extent and
correspondingly the current liabilities is under stated to that extent.
5. During the year the company has accounted and capitalized Interest
and Guarantee Commission amounting to Rs.287.35 Lacs on loan borrowed
towards Rotary Lime Kiln Project. As the said project''s active
development is interrupted the same should have been charged to profit
and Loss Account instead of debit to Capital Work in Progress. Due to
which Loss for the year is under stated to that extent and Capital work
in progress is overstated to that extent.
6. The Consequential effect of the above comments on financial
Statements to the extent ascertainable is understatement of loss by Rs.
1531.68 Lacs, understatement of Current liabilities by Rs. 1244.33 Lacs
and overstatement of work in progress by Rs. 287.35 Lacs.
Qualified Opinion
Subject to observations stated above, 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, 2014; and
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 Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year
ended on that date
Emphasis of Matter
1. Attention is drawn to Note 3.11 (Employee Benefits) wherein deficit
between plan assets and actuarial liabilities of employee benefit plans
under gratuity and leave encashment obligations are substantial. As the
company is sick and referred to BIFR, the company has not stated its
plan to meet this deficit.
2. The company is incurring cash losses continuously and net worth of
the company is fully eroded. However in the opinion of the management
the company is a going concern as the Govt. of Karnataka (GOK), the
main promoter, has been continuously supporting by way of financial
assistance. The company believes that Government of Karnataka will
extend financial support in the coming years also. The rehabilitation
proposal for revival of the company is under preparation.
3. The confirmations of Sundry Debtors, Creditors & Advances received
are yet to be reconciled (note 2.13 (a)). The company has not received
confirmations from majority of the parties, though confirmation letters
have been sent by the company.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matters
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
