The Members of
M/s. Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited 46/1, Mile Stone, Hisar Road,Rohtak-124001
REPORT ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, 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 STANDALONE 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 of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with 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 of 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 the 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 standalone 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, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 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 qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION
1. We are unable to observe physical inventories of Finished Goods, Semi-Finished Goods, Stock in Trade (Traded goods) and Consumables Stores and Spares due to the size and nature of inventories and we are also unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventories held at 31st March, 2016. The entity has not carried any physical verification in respect of Inventories comprising of Semi Finished Goods, Finished Goods, Stock- in- Trade (Traded goods), Consumables Stores and Spares. The Company has obtained a physical verification certificate on an inadequate sample basis from an independent firm of Chartered Accountants. In our opinion the same does not commensurate with the size and nature of inventories.
2. The Company has capitalized inventory of dies and tools having a value of Rs. 60,64,97,351/- as on 1st January, 2016. However no physical verification has been conducted in respect of dies and tools so capitalized. Adjustments, if any are not ascertainable and will be provided after physical verification of dies and tools.
3. Certain advances for materials, services and capital goods aggregating to Rs. 14,61,43,791/- were outstanding as on 31/03/2016. The confirmations from parties to whom these advances are given has not been made available. Out of such advances, provision for doubtful advances should be recognized in respect of advances, outstanding for a period of three years or more where no movement has taken place and no confirmations are available. Adjustments, if any, are not ascertainable and will be provided on identification of such parties.
4. Balances under Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors, loans and advances given by the Company and parties
from whom unsecured loans have been taken are subject to confirmations and adjustments, if any, required upon such confirmations are not ascertainable and hence not provided for.
5. In respect of loans and advances of Rs. 1,01,96,685/given to Lakshmi Extrusions Limited, it is observed that the said party is not making any repayment and the said loan is outstanding for more than three years. In our opinion the same should be classified as doubtful advance and provision should be recognized in accounts. To that extent, the loss for the year is understated.
6. The Company has capitalized Borrowing Costs amounting to Rs.3, 54, 10,046/- for the year ended 31st March,
2016 in respect of capital work in progress at IMT, Rohtak. However the same is not in compliance with Accounting Standard-16 "Accounting for Borrowing Costs". Since no substantial development activity has been carried out at IMT, Rohtak, borrowing costs of Rs. 3,54,10,046/should be charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss and to that extent the loss for the year is understated.
7. A fraud of Rs. 1, 60, 59,342/- was reported during the Financial Year 2005-06 incurred by an ex-employee of the Company which is under litigation and pending before the Hon''ble Delhi High Court. In our opinion, provision for doubtful debt should be recognized for the same and to that extent the loss for the year is understated.
8. The Company is in violation of Section 73 of Companies Act, 2013 read together with Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014, as it has taken advances from customers amounting to Rs. 2,11,52,638/- having balance outstanding for more than 365 days. In terms of Rule 2(1)(xii)(a) such advances are liable to be treated as deposits read together with section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013 and hence the Company is in violation of the same.
9. The Company has taken unsecured loans from Companies amounting to Rs.7, 29, 00,000/- which are outstanding as at the end of the year and the same has been shown under short term borrowings in the Balance Sheet. However, loan agreements in respect of these loans have not been furnished and in absence of the same, the terms of repayment, chargeability of interest and other terms are not verifiable and have not been furnished.
10. As per the accounting policy of the Company, the Company is valuing its inventories at lower of cost and net realizable value. As explained to us, since exact cost is not ascertainable, the same is arrived at list price less 57% in case of finished goods and at list price less 66% in case of semi-finished goods and special items have been valued at 31% less in case of semi-finished goods and 22% less in the case of finished goods of the selling price. Since proper cost records are not maintained, exact cost is not ascertainable, and therefore the impact if any, on account of valuation of inventories on basis of actual cost is not quantifiable and provided for.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, subject to the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraphs, the standalone 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 of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2016, its losses, and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Empasis of Matter
1. Attention is invited to note no. 33(27) where the company has passed an accounting entry relating to excess depreciation charged in earlier years amounting to '' 2,14,57,668/-. However, the same has been adjusted against "other expenses" (note no. 29) while it should be disclosed under the head "other income (note no.21). The same shall have no impact on profit for the year.
2. The managerial remuneration has been paid in terms of sanction from Central Government under section 269,198/301 of the Companies Act, 1956, vide letters dated 17th September, 2013 and 29 th October, 2013 which are valid up to 31st December, 2015.

The approval for the subsequent period is to be obtained and the amount paid/provided for to the director is subject to consequential adjustment if any, on receipt of approval of Central Government.
Our opinion is not modified is respect of above matters.

The Annexure A referred to in our report to the members of Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited for the year ended 31.03.2016. We report that:
1. (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars including quantitative details of fixed assets. However, the same needs updating with regard to item-wise identification and situation of fixed assets. The Company has capitalized dies and tools having a book value of Rs.60, 64, 97,351/- as on 1stJanuary 2016 (refer note No.-33(4)). Fixed assets register in respect of said dies and tools capitalized is not updated.
(b)The Company has a phased periodical programme of physical verification of all fixed assets, which in our opinion is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its business. No material discrepancies have been noticed on such verification. However no physical verification has been conducted in respect of dies and tools capitalized on 1st January 2016 and therefore cannot be commented upon.
(c) We have inspected the photocopies of title deeds of immovable properties of the Company held as fixed assets. As informed to us, the original title deeds are in possession of bankers and mortgagees from whom credit facilities have been taken. Letters have been written to the bankers/mortgagees but no confirmation has been received except in the case of Indian Overseas Bank, Rohtak. Therefore, based on our audit procedures and the information and explanations given to us, we report that the title deeds of immovable properties of the Company held as fixed assets are held in the name of the Company.
2. As per explanations given to us, no physical verification in respect of inventories comprising of Finished Goods, Semi- Finished Goods (Work In Progress), Stock In Trade (Traded Goods) and Consumable Stores and Spares have been conducted by the management.

However, in absence of a complete physical verification of Inventories covering all items, we are unable to comment whether discrepancies between book records and physical verification are material.
3. (a) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the Company has not granted any loan during the year to parties covered in the register maintained under section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013. However, the Company has an outstanding balance of loan of Rs.

Since no loan has been granted during the year, para 3(iii)(a) of the Order is not applicable to the Company and hence not commented upon.
(b) According to the information and explanations received by us, the schedule of repayment of principal and payment of interest has not been stipulated between the Company and the related parties listed in the register maintained under section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013 and hence we are unable to comment upon the regularity of repayments or receipts.

And in absence of schedule of repayment and payment of interest, we are unable to comment upon whether any amount is overdue for more than ninety days and whether any steps for recovery have been taken by the Company.

ANNEXURE-B TO
THE AUDITOR''S REPORT
REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS UNDER CLAUSE (I) OF SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ("THE ACT")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
AUDITORS'' RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
1. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
QUALIFIED OPINION
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness has been identified as at March 31, 2016:
(a) The procedures of physical verification of inventory of Finished Goods, Semi-Finished Goods, Stock in Trade (Traded goods) and Consumables Stores followed by the management are not reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
(b) The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system over Debtors and Creditors confirmation and reconciliation of balances with the parties. These could potentially result in material misstatements in the Company''s trade payables and trade receivables balances.
(c) The Management does not review the provision for doubtful trade receivables methodology, assumptions and underlying calculation for appropriateness on a periodic basis, there for these could result in risk of material misstated net receivables and bad debts expenses.
(d) The Company''s financial control over repayment of long term borrowings and short term borrowings is highly ineffective with regard to repayment of principal and interest. The Company has defaulted in repayment of loan taken from Banks, Financial Institutions and others on many occasions and further there is general lack of financial planning and management on part of the Company.
(e) The Company does not have adequate system of segregation of duties to effectively monitor and operate the control of depositing undisputed statutory dues including Provident Fund, Income Tax, TDS, Sales-Tax, Wealth tax, VAT, duty of customs, Service tax, Cess and other material undisputed statutory dues with the appropriate authorities. This could potentially result in levy of interest and other penal provisions of statutes and have a significant impact on functioning of the Company.
(f) There is a material weakness with regard to control over advances given to suppliers for goods and services. The controls with regard to subsequent settlement of advances are ineffective and as a result many parties to whom advances have been given are very old and remain unsettled. Further there is no control system over confirmation and reconciliation of balance with parties. These could potentially result in write off of advances and have an impact on financial statements of the Company.
(g) The Company did not have an adequate internal control system for physical verification of dies and tools capitalized as fixed assets, further the internal control system needs updation with regard to item-wise identification and situation of fixed assets. This may have material impact on stated value of fixed assets and depreciation.
(h) The Company has inadequate design of information technology (IT) general and application controls that prevent the information system from providing complete and accurate information consistent with financial reporting objectives and current needs.
(i) There are significant deficiencies in Controls over the selection and application of accounting principles that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. There is Ineffective internal control over legal compliance by the Company.
(j) The Company did not have an appropriate internal financial control system over financial reporting since the internal controls adopted by the Company did not adequately consider risk assessment, which is one of the essential components of internal control, with regard to the potential for fraud when performing risk assessment.
A ''material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, because of the effects/possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained adequate and effective internal financial controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016, based on "the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India"
We have considered the material weaknesses, identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31, 2016 standalone financial statements of the Company,
and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lakshmi
Precision Screws Limited ("the Company") which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at March 31, 2015, 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 Standalone 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 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 of 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 standalone
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
thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 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 effectiveness of such
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. There is a limitation
on the scope of our work regarding the physical verification of
inventories.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. The Company has accepted deposits of Rs.70000002/- from promoters'
friends prior to 01/04/2014. However as per provisions of Section 76 of
the Companies Act, 2013 read together with Companies (Acceptance of
Deposits) Rules, 2014, the Company is not eligible to accept public
deposits, The Company has failed to repay the said deposits by
31/03/2015 and has filed a petition before the Hon'ble Company Law
Board seeking extension of time for repayment of Deposits which is
pending before the Board. Further the Company has not complied with the
provisions of Section 73 of Companies Act, 2013 read together with
Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014. as it has taken
advances from customers amounting to Rs. 47759742/- having balance
outstanding for more than 365 days.
2. Certain advances for material and services aggregating to
Rs.125136144/- were outstanding as on 31/03/2015. However, confirmation
from parties to whom these advances are given has not been made
available to us. Out of such advances, in our opinion, provision for
doubtful advance amounting to Rs.31289676/- should be recognized as
these are outstanding for a period of three years or more.
3. The Company has taken unsecured loans from Companies amounting to
Rs. 84313220/- which are outstanding as at the end of the year and the
same has been shown under short term borrowings in the Balance Sheet.
However, loan agreements in respect of these loans have not been
furnished and in absence of the same, the terms of repayment,
chargeability of interest and other terms are not verifiable and have
not been furnished.
4. The Company has made provisions for Income Tax as per section 115JB
of the Income Tax Act, 1961 amounting to Rs. 1806163/-. However, the
provision has been credited to Reserves and Surplus instead of
crediting the same under current liabilities and provisions. Therefore,
to the extent of Rs. 1806163/-, the reserves and surplus are overstated
and current liabilities and provision are understated. There is no
impact on profit for the year.
5. As per the accounting policy of the Company, the Company is valuing
its inventories at lower of cost and net realizable value. As explained
to us, since exact cost is not ascertainable, the same is arrived at
list price less 57% in case of finished goods and at list price less
66% in case of semi-finished goods and special items have been valued
at 31% less in case of semi-finished goods and 22% less in the case of
finished goods of the selling price.
The same has been worked out on the basis of overall gross margin and
not on exact cost basis. Since proper cost records are not maintained,
exact cost is not ascertainable, and therefore the impact if any, on
account of valuation of inventories on basis of actual cost is not
quantifiable and provided for.
6. The Company has not carried any physical verification in respect of
inventories comprising of Raw Material, Work in Progress, Finished
Goods, Stock in Trade (Traded goods), Consumables Stores and Spares and
Dies and Tools. The Company has obtained a physical verification
certificate on an inadequate sample basis from an independent firm of
Chartered Accountants. In our opinion the same does not commensurate
with size and nature of inventories.
7. As per the accounting policy, the Company is amortizing dies and
tools on the basis of effective residual remaining life based on
technical assessment conducted by the Committee. However, the said
technical assessment has not been carried out during the year and dies
and tools have been mortised to the Statement of Profit and Loss as and
when scrapped. Pending the technical assessment and determination of
effective residual values of dies and tools, the impact of amortization
thereof is not ascertainable.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of Lakshmi
Precision Screws Limited ("the Company") which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at March 31, 2013, and the Statement of Profi t and Loss and
Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto and
a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these fi nancial
statements that give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position
and fi nancial performance and cash fl ows of the company in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial
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 fi nancial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial
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 fi nancial
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 fi nancial statements. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our qualifi ed audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company has not obtained actuarial valuation in respect of
provision for gratuity liability and leave encashment payable to its
employees. The impact of liability on this account is therefore not
ascertainable and cannot be quantifi ed. Further, the disclosures as
required by AS-15 ''Employee Benefi ts'' are not furnished in their
entirety.
As per the accounting policy of the Company, the Company is valuing its
inventories at lower of cost and net realizable value. As explained to
us, since exact cost is not ascertainable, the same is arrived at list
price less 55% in case of fi nished goods and at list price less 65% in
case of semi-fi nished goods and special items have been valued at 30%
less in case of semi-fi nished goods and 20% less in the case of fi
nished goods of the selling price.
As explained to us the exact cost will be ascertained after
implementation of detailed cost records. Pending such determination of
exact cost, the impact, if any, on the fi nancial statements is not
ascertainable and hence not provided for.
As per the information and explanations given to us, stocks of dies
carried as inventories are amortized as a charge to the statement of
profi t and loss when they are scrapped from active use while the same
should be written off on a systematic basis over their useful period of
lives based on actual production. The impact, if any, on the fi nancial
statements is not ascertainable and hence cannot be quantifi ed.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the
matters described in the Basis for Qualifi ed Opinion paragraphs, the
fi nancial 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, 2013;
b) in the case of the Profi t and Loss statement, of the profi t for
