AUDITORS OBSERVATION :
The notes to the accounts of the company are self explanatory. However
and clarification from the board of directors on the specific
observation made by the Auditors in their report are as under"
1) NON CLARIFICATION ON LOAN FROM ADANI ENTERPRISES LIMITED :
The Company has taken secured/mortgage loan from Adani Enterprises
Limited of Rs. 5 Crore in earlier year. However the Charge has not
registered with the ROC.
2) NON FILLING OF INCOME TAX RETURN FROM F.Y. 2008-09 ONWARDS :
The Companies accounts are not yet Tax Audited. Thus, the Company has
not filled the Income Tax Return of the Company. The Company will as
soon as possible get its Accounts Tax Audited and fill Income Tax
Return.
3) NON DEDUCTION OF TDS :
The Company has huge accumulated losses and expenses. Due to bad
financial position as well as being sick unit the Company does not have
sufficient funds for the TDS deduction. Now the Company started earning
from the Naroda unit. So now Company is in the process of growing up.
Now all the provisions will be followed by the Company.
4) BANK STATEMENT OF NO LIEN ACCOUNT :
Company had deposited Rs. 89.30 lacs as per BIFR directive in the No
Lien A/C with the 4 consortium Banks. This amount was meant for
rehabilitation of the Company. However in spite of the numerous
communications by auditors of the Company with the Banks for providing
stake of money deposited along with statements, the Banks have not
responded. In absence of the response from bank, the Company has been
helpless and unable to reconcile these no lien accounts.

Financial and Operating indicators are negative because the Company has
just restarted the Naroda unit. The Company is working hard for making
it profitable. Because of huge accumulated losses, with the passing of
some years Company will start making profits.
6) NON COMPLIANCE OF THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD 28 :
The physical verification was not done by the Auditor at the Naroda
unit. The Machinery at Naroda Unit is still operative for the
Manufacturing process. The Company used the same for the Manufacturing
so that Company doesn't have to bear the high cost of Machinery.
7) NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR TAXATION AS 22 :
As per Accounting Standard 22 the company is required to create
Deferred Tax Liability / Assets each year. However the management is
of the opinion that due to huge accumulated losses and until the formal
plan for revival / rehabilitation is sanctioned, it is not considered
prudent polity to create Deferred Tax liabilities / Assets.
8) TRANSFER OF UNPAID / UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND TO INVESTORS' EDUCATION AND
PROTECTION FUNDS:
This has been fully explained separately in this report elsewhere under
relevant Para.
9) NON PROVISION OF SALES TAX LIABILITIES :

necessary arrangement for its payment and make necessary provision in
the books of account.

Auditors of the Company. The Board has now proposed to appoint the
Statutory Auditors for a period of 1 year as per requirements of
section 139 (1) of the Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Audit
and Auditors) Rules 2014. Necessary Resolution for their appointment as
the Statutory Auditors and fixing their remuneration is proposed to be
passed at the Annual General Meeting.
INTERNAL AUDITORS
The company is in process of appointing an independent Chartered
Accountant to act as an Internal Auditor as per suggestion of auditors
in order to strengthen the internal control system for the Company.
AUDITORS OBSERVATION
The notes to the accounts of the company are self explanatory. However
and clarification from the board of directors on the specific
observation made by the Auditors in their report are as under"
1) PREPARTION OF ACCOUNTS ON GOING CONCERN BASIS:
The auditors of the company are of the opinion that due to huge
accumulated losses and complete erosion of the net worth the company,
the accounts of the company is not advised to be written on a going
concern basis. But as the company has now settled all its working
capital dues of banks in the year 2009-10 and is in process to submit a
proper draft rehabilitation scheme in order to restart the production
at its Naroda unit after required capital expenditure and the
management is hopeful for the revival of the company in near future,
hence the company have been written books of account ongoing concern
basis.
2) CONFIRMATION OF ACCOUNTS PENDING:
The company has established the system of obtaining conformation of
accounts from various parties. The financial transactions are numerous.
Certain confirmations are pending including statement of secured Loan
received from Adani Enterprise Limited. However the auditors have
obtained all the information and explanations up to their best
knowledge and behalf as were necessary for their purpose of their
audit, except certain non receipt of conformation of balances in
respect of loans and advances, deposits and creditors and form banks
and financial institutions. This in fact does not affect financial
statements.
3) NON OPERATIONAL NARODA PLANT:
The Naroda plant has been non operational since last many years due to
lack of working capital and some minor changes in technology and other
reasons. However the company has received proposals from one big
industrial house to take the plant on lease/ rental basis for
manufacture of Castor oil as well as the company is in process to
prepare the draft rehabilitation scheme by which the company will
restart the production at its Naroda unit henceforth after required
capital expenditure. The proposals are under active consideration and
if upon finalization it will not only add the revenue to the company
but also recondition the plant., its life, its value, upgrade certain
technology, replace certain parts etc. Hence the market value of old
plant & machineries could be on lower side, the market value of land
and building will offset the losses, so it is the view of the
management to show the plant and machinery at a part of fixed assets in
the balance sheet and not to written off the assets.
4) NON PROVISION OF SALES TAX LIABILITIES:
The company has made a review application for assessment order under
the Sales Tax act. The company is hopeful of remedial favorable
assessment orders. Once the liabilities are crystallized, it will make
necessary arrangement for its payment and make necessary provision in
the books of account.
5) INTEREST FREE LOANS AND ADVANCES:
The Company had given certain loans and advances to number of parties
as interest free looking to the then prevailing business interests of
the Company. The Company has been receiving good business orders from
some of such parties still to date. So it is provided to such parties''
interest free and upon such terms and conditions as decided by both the
parties. The Management is trying to recover the same either in cash or
in kind and is doing the business with these parties. Other amount has
been received by the company against cash or in kind. Hence no
provisions as Bad loans and advances have been made. The company is
hopeful for its recovery of its outstanding amount and it is trying
commercially to recover the loan.
6) NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR TAXATION AS 22:
As per Accounting Standard 22 the company is required to create
Deferred Tax Liability / Assets each year. However the management is
of the opinion that due to huge accumulated losses and until the formal
plan for revival / rehabilitation is sanctioned, it is not considered
prudent polity to create Deferred Tax liabilities / Assets.
7) TRANSFER OF UNPAID / UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND TO INVESTORS'' EDUCATION AND
PROTECTION FUNDS:
This has been fully explained separately in this report elsewhere under
relevant Para.
8) NON PAYMENT OF CERTAIN DUES:
As the company is a sick unit and it has not enough funds with it so it
has defaulted in depositing statutory dues towards Income Tax deducted
at source, Professional Tax, Sales Tax, Income Tax and municipal Tax,
However dues of provident fund have been cleared, certain municipal tax
paid off and the company is gradually settling the old dues. At the
same time the company as soon as it recovers any amount or any surplus
has decided to give top priority to these dues.
9) BANK STATEMENT OF NO LIEN ACCOUNT:
Company had deposited Rs. 89.30 lacs as per BIFR directive in the No
Lien A/C with the 4 consortium Banks. This amount was meant for
rehabilitation of the Company. However in spite of the numerous
communication by auditors of the Company with the Banks for providing
stake of money deposited along with statements, the Banks have not
responded. In absence of the response from bank, the Company has been
helpless and unable to reconcile these no lien accounts.

DIVIDEND :
As your company has incur loss during the year under review and due to
the accumulated losses your directors regret for their inability to
declare any amount as dividend to be paid.
TRANSFER OF UNPAID/UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND :
Your company''s all the 4 previous years i.e. dividends declared in year
1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 are due for transfer thereof to investors''
education and protection fund as per the provision of the section 205c
of the companies act 1956. However due to huge accumulated losses since
the company could not meet its liabilities towards its bankers in time,
the bankers are not co operating and so company will make
representation of this fact to Registrar of the companies, Securities
and exchange board of India. At the highest authorities of bankers,
Reserve bank of India. In this situation the audit of the unclaimed
unpaid dividend accounts could not be conducted and completed.
The company had received more than 2000 investor complaints for non
payment of dividend or not revalidation of the dividend warrants of the
investors. However due to non co operation of the bankers, the company
could not resolve such complaints. Even the company''s efforts to
surrender of the original dividend warrants and in lieu of such
dividend warrants requests for issue of demand draft in favor of
investor concerned are not accepted by the bankers. In view of the
above stated reasons the company could not make compliance with the
provision of section 205c of the companies act 1956.Company however has
almost solved most of the complaints related to non receipt of dividend
warrants.

of hedging future options of commodity market. The company has made

NON OPERATION OF NARODA PLANT :

inadequate financial resources, Even though the plant has become old,
the company has proposed plans of capital expenditure for repairs and
renovation and subsequently to restart the production activity at the
unit and thereby the company has continued to show the same as fixed
assets of the company in the books of accounts.
However, now the company is in advance stages of negotiating a proposal
with few industrial groups to make operational the Naroda Plant of the
company for the manufacturing, refining and packaging of the Castor oil
on lease/rent basis /job basis as well as company''s own operation may
also kick start simultaneously at Naroda Unit. Upon finalization the
plant is expected to add the revenue to the company in cash from which
the company will be able to meet not only administrative and

plant will become renovated, upgraded and will be operational which
will increase its life.

scheme). Company is taking various legal opinion with respect to
assessment of exact income tax liabilities after the writing off the
bank liabilities and has taken a view of providing the same after
complete due diligence of past income tax returns filed by the legal
experts with past case laws. The management is trying hard for revival
and rehabilitation of the company, in fact it has already succeeded in
settling the huge bank debts and is further negotiating with big
industrial house to implement rehabilitation process by restarting
operations at the Naroda unit of the company, but until the matter is
finalized positively, the company has not accounted for deferred tax
liability.

AUDITORS OBSERVATION :
The notes to the accounts of the company are self explanatory. However
and clarification from the board of directors on the specific
observation made by the Auditors in their report are as under"
(1) PREPARTION OF ACCOUNTS ON GOING CONCERN BASIS :
The auditors of the company are of the opinion that due to huge
accumulated losses and complete erosion of the net worth the company,
the accounts of the company is not advised to be written on a going
concern basis. But as the company has now settled all its working
capital dues of banks in the year 2009-10 and is in process to submit a
proper draft rehabilitation scheme in order to restart the production
at its Naroda unit after required capital expenditure and the
management is hopeful for the revival of the company in near future,
hence the company have been written books of account ongoing concern
basis.
(2) CONFIRMATION OF ACCOUNTS PENDING :
The company has established the system of obtaining conformation of
accounts from various parties. The financial transactions are numerous.
Certain confirmations are pending however the auditors have obtained
all the information and explanations up to their best knowledge and
behalf as were necessary for their purpose of their audit, except
certain non receipt of conformation of balances in respect of loans and
advances, deposits and creditors and form banks and financial
institutions. This in fact does not affect financial statements.
(3) NON OPERATIONAL NARODA PLANT :
The Naroda plant has been non operational since last many years due to
lack of working capital and some minor changes in technology and other
reasons. However the company has received proposals from one big
industrial house to take the plant on lease/ rental basis for
manufacture of Castor oil as well as the company is in process to
prepare the draft rehabilitation scheme by which the company will
restart the production at its Naroda unit henceforth after required
capital expenditure. The proposals are under active consideration and
if upon finalization it will not only add the revenue to the company
but also recondition the plant., its life, its value, upgrade certain
technology, replace certain parts etc. Hence the market value of old
plant & machineries could be on lower side, the market value of land
and building will offset the losses, so it is the view of the
management to show the plant and machinery at a part of fixed assets in
the balance sheet and not to written off the assets.
(4) NON PROVISION OF SALES TAX LIABILITIES :
The company has made a review application for assessment order under
the Sales Tax act. The company is hopeful of remedial favorable
assessment orders. Once the liabilities are crystallized, it will make
necessary arrangement for its payment and make necessary provision in
the books of account.

as interest free looking to the then prevailing business interests of
the Company. The Company has been receiving good business orders from
some of such parties still to date. So it is provided to such parties'
interest free and upon such terms and conditions as decided by both the
parties. The Management is trying to recover the same either in cash or
in kind and is doing the business with these parties. Other amount has
been received by the company against cash or in kind. Hence no
provisions as Bad loans and advances have been made. The company is
hopeful for its recovery of its outstanding amount and it is trying
commercially to recover the loan. For further details refer to the
Point no. 3(e) of the Annexure to the Auditors Report.
(6) NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR RETIRE-MENT
BENEFITS WHILE PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (15).
As the company's plants are not operational round the year and most of
the employees are temporary or on contractual basis. Due to these
reasons no provisions for retirement benefits are made.
(7) NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR TAXATION AS 22 :
As per Accounting Standard 22 the company is required to create
Deferred Tax Liability / Assets each year. However the management is
of the opinion that due to huge accumulated losses and until the formal
plan for revival / rehabilitation is sanctioned, it is not considered
prudent polity to create Deferred Tax liabilities / Assets.
(8) NON PUBLISHING OF QUARTERLY RESULTS :
The company could not declare un-audited / audited results due to
certain administrative problems but your management has taken care to
publish result and the same are under process.
(9) TRANSFER OF UNPAID / UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND TO INVESTORS' EDUCATION AND
PROTECTION FUNDS:
This has been fully explained separately in this report elsewhere under
relevant Para.

has defaulted in depositing statutory dues towards Income Tax deducted
at source, Professional Tax, Sales Tax, Income Tax and municipal Tax,
However dues of provident fund have been cleared, certain municipal tax
paid and the company is gradually settling the old dues. At the same
time the company as soon as it recovers any amount or any surplus has
decided to give top priority to these dues.

the Company has now complied with all compliances BSE has revoked
suspension wide it letter ref no DCS/COMP/OT/TB/211/2010-2011 date

DIVIDEND
As your company has not to earn much profit during the year under

their inability to declare any amount as dividend to be paid.
TRANSFER OF UNPAID/UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND:
Your companys all the 4 previous years i.e. dividends declared in year
1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 are due for transfer thereof to investors
education and protection fund as per the provision of the section 205c
of the companies act 1956. However due to huge accumulated losses and
the company could not meet its liabilities towards its bankers in time,
the bankers are not co operating and so company has made representation
of this fact to Registrar of the companies, Securities and exchange
board of India. At the highest authorities of bankers, Reserve bank of
India. In this situation the audit of the unclaimed unpaid dividend
accounts could not be conducted and completed.
The company has received more than 2000 investor complaints for non
payment of dividend or not revalidation of the dividend warrants of the
investors. However due to non co operation of the bankers, the company
could not resolve such complaints. Even the companys efforts to
surrender of the original dividend warrants and in lieu of such
dividend warrants requests for issue of demand draft in favor of
investor concerned are not accepted by the bankers. In view of the
above stated reasons the company could not make compliance with the
provision of section 205c of the companies act 1956.
SHARE CAPITAL DURING THE YEAR:
During the year under review your directors have not issued any equity
or preference share to any persons. There has been no change in the
issued, subscribed and paid up capital of the company during the year
under review.
BUY BACK OF SHARES:
Your Director had not declared or announced or completed any procedure
for buy back of its own shares during the year under review as per the
provision of the section 77A, 77AA, and 77B of the companies act 1956.
Further no buy back of the share if any announced in earlier years are
still pending for implementation.
YEAR UNDER REVIEW
During the year under review your company was engaged in the job work
business of manufacturing of Castor oil & edible oils and also in the
business of hedging future options of commodity market. Companys own
operations were at standstill and were continuing with job work only as
the focus was to clear the huge outstanding bank debts , which with
hard efforts couid be settled , so total sales income during the year
was NIL (previous year Rs.3,24,96,188/-) other income of
Rs.74,91,57,611/- (P. Y. Rs. 1,87,52,106/-) due to lower level
operation of the plants (i.e. below the break even point) the company
had made a cash operational loss of Rs. 1,91,16,183/-. After making
provision for depreciation of Rs. 23,42,009/- your company has suffered
a availability of adequate funds and the company could not utilize its
full production capacity.
NON OPERATION OF NARODA PLANT:
The companys Naroda plant is not in use since 1998-99 due to
inadequate financial resources, further it could not function due to
its old age. The company could not complete the required maintenance,
renovation, up gradation of the said plant. Even though the plant has
become old , the company has proposed plans of capital expenditure for
repairs and renovation and subsequently to restart the production
activity at the unit and thereby the company has continued to show the
same as fixed assets of the company in the books of accounts.
However, now the company is negotiating proposal with a big industrial
group to make operational the Naroda Plant of the company for the
manufacture, refining and packaging of the castor oil on lease/rent
basis /job basis as well as companys own operation may also kick start
simultaneously at Naroda Unit. If the deal is finalized the plant is
expected to add the revenue to the company in cash from which will be
able to meet with the cash administrative and operational exp. In
addition due to plant being made operational and its maintenance will
be done by tenant, the plant will become renovated, upgraded and will
be operational which will increase its life.
SEGMENTWISE REPORTING AS-17
The company is operating only in one segment of manufacturing of oil
and sale of oil and its by product de-oiled cakes. Hence no separate
segmentwise accounting is required and given herewith.
PROVISION FOR DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES / ASSETS AS-22 mND NON PROVISION
OF INCOME TAX LIABILITIES.
The Company had huge accumulated and unabsorbed financial losses. The
companys total net worth had been eroded. In view of this the
management has thought it fit and prudent not to make provision for
deferred tax assets which if created would appear as intangible assets
which could never be realized in future. The company has sought various
relief for allowing carry forward losses by making an application again
with BIFR in the proposed DRS (Draft rehabilation scheme). Company is
taking various legal opinion with respect to assessment of exact income
tax liabilities after the writing off the bank liabilities and has
taken a view of providing the same after complete due diligence of past
income tax returns filed by the legal experts with past case laws. The
management is trying hard for revival and rehabilitation of the
company, infact it has already succeeded in settling the huge bank
debts and is further negotiating with big industrial house to implement
rehabilitation process by restarting operations at the Naroda unit of
the company, but until the matter is finalized positively, the company
has not accounted for deferred tax liability.
