Auditor''s Report

Auditors'' Report is self explanatory and need not requires the separate explanation. The Auditors had qualified his report on some of the points such as

1. The Company''s operations have been suspended since December, 2006. The Company has incurred losses during past several years and the company''s net worth has been completely eroded. In view of this, we are unable to comment whether the company can be considered as a ''Going Concern'' and whether its assets would be adequate to meet its liabilities.

The Company is declared as Sick unit by the Board for Industrial and Financials Reconstructiori(BIFR) vide their order dated 22nd July 2011. Draft Rehabilitation Scheme is already filled by Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI), operating agency and the same is pending for consideration before Board for Industrial and Financials Reconstruction (BIFR). We are unable to comment on impact of rehabilitation package on attached financial statements as the same is not ascertainable.

2. As explained in Note No. 22 of Notes to Accounts the expenses / liabilities aggregating Rs. 89.07 lacs for the year 2012-2013 have not been provided due to which current year loss and accumulated losses are understated by Rs. 89.07 Lacs.

3. As explained in Note No. 25 of Notes to Accounts, calls in arrears under paid-up share capital is unreconciled to the extent of Rs. 2.25 Lacs.

4. As explained in Note No. 27 of Notes to Accounts, no provision has been made for loans and advances amounting to Rs. 109.63 lacs, which are prima facie doubtful of recovery and in our opinion current year''s loss and accumulated losses of the company are under stated by provision of such doubtful advances.

5. The Company has not provided the depreciation amounting to Rs. 106.18 Lacs for the year under audit and Rs. 364.77 Lacs for earlier years; due to which current year loss, accumulated losses are under stated by Rs. 470.95 Lacs and tangible assets are overstated by Rs. 470.95 Lacs.

On this point the Board submit the following explanation:

1. The Company''s operations have been suspended due to shortage of raw material, labour unrest, shortage of working Capital finance etc. But the administrative operations of the Company are continued up to date. Due to stoppage of production, the required financial resource could not generate and Company is incurring losses mainly due to administrative Expenses. The Company has been declared a sick industrial unit by Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) and the draft rehabilitation scheme has been submitted to BIFR through IDBI Bank, operating agency and on sanction of the same it will be possible to restart the activities.

2. In respect of non provision of liability for Rs. 89.07 lacs towards Grampanchayat and NA tax payable to local authorities, the company has requested the BIFR for concession in the payment and therefore pending approval of rehabilitation scheme the company has decided not to make provision for this liability in the accounts until the BIFR order.

3. The calls in arrears for Rs. 2.25 lacs remains to be un-reconciled for want of non availability of requisite data from Registrar and Share Transfer Agents.

4. No provision has been made for loans & advances amounting to Rs. 109.63 lacs representing advances given to suppliers, deposit with statutory authorities, TDS payments as the same are considered to be good and either receivable or adjustable in nearfuture.

5. No provision for Depreciation on fixed assets has been made after discontinuing operations of the company since December, 2006 as the relevant assets are not in use.

All the qualification and comments of the Statutory Auditors mentioned in the Report have been brought to the notice of the Hon''ble BIFR for sanction of Draft Rehabilitation Scheme.
