1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Malwa
Cotton Spinning Mills 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
the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements:
2. 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 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:
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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
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 the
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 operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the 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 subject to matters stated in para 5 below we have
obtained the audit evidence which is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Emphasis on Matter:
4. We draw attention to the mater disclosed in the notes to the
financial statement:
i) The Company has not been able to redeem 9% cumulative redeemable
preference share capital. The unredeemed preference capital of Rs.
2,750 lacs have been shown under the schedule of Share Capital. (Refer
disclosure under the Note 1 to the financial statement).
ii) Sundry debtors for the current year are shown at gross amount
whereas in the preceding year were shown net of advance of Rs.
5,108.26. Therefore sundry debtors are not comparable to this extent.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
5. We report that:
i) We draw attention to note no. 37 in the financial statements. The
Company has incurred a net loss of Rs. 3,688 lacs during the year ended
31st March, 2015, which together with brought forward losses of Rs.
21,885 lacs exceeds the net worth of the company, and as of that date,
the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs.
19,525 lacs and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by Rs.
22,248 lacs. The Consortium banks have recalled their debts to the
company. These events cast significant doubt on the ability of the
company to continue as a going concern. The appropriateness of the
going concern assumption is dependent on the company's ability to
establish consistent profitable operations and generate positive cash
flows as well as raising adequate finance to meet its short term and
long term obligations. Based on the mitigating factors stated in the
said note, the management of the company believes that the going
concern assumption is appropriate. However, we do not agree with the
management in this respect.
ii) The company has not arranged to make available the confirmations
and/or reconciliations to verify the balances stated in the financial
statements in respect of:
i .Trade Receivables Rs. 5,535.30 lacs
ii. Loans & Advances: Rs. 1,472.64 lacs
iii. Trade payables: Rs. 5,325.88 lacs,
We have also not been able to perform any alternative procedures with
regard to verification of the aforesaid balances and thereby have been
unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
aforesaid accounts .We are unable to comment upon the difference, if
any, which may arise upon the receipt of confirmations and/or the
carrying out of such reconciliation.
iii) The management of the company has represented to us that the
recoverable amount of assets within the meaning of Accounting Standard
28 "Impairment of Assets " is more than their carrying value and as
such no amount needs to be recognized in the financial statements for
impairment loss. In the absence of the workings of impairment having
been prepared and made available to us for our review, we are unable to
comment on whether; the company needs to make a provision in respect of
impairment loss on such assets and the amount of such provision.
iv) Refer note no.36 of the financial statements, the company has not
made provision in respect of balances recoverable from Trade
Receivables, Loans and Advances and Other Recoverable including for
employees, which are doubtful in nature amounting to Rs. 4,144.31 lacs
as on the date of the financial Statements.
v) Refer note no.38 of the financial statements, the Company has not
provided for the Interest on borrowings amounting to Rs.2,978.52 lacs.
The Company has also not provided interest of Rs. 2935.08 lacs on it's
borrowings pertaining to the preceding year.
vi) We further report that, except for the effect, if any, of the
matters stated in paragraph (i) and (ii) above which are not
ascertainable, had the impact of our observation made in paragraph (iv)
and (v) above been considered, then loss for the year ended 31st March,
2015 would have been Rs.13,746 lacs (against the reported figure of
Rs.3,688 lacs) and reserves and surplus would have been Rs. 35,821
lacs (against the reported figure of Rs. 25,763 lacs) and current
assets would have been ((Rs. 1,219 lacs) (against the reported figure
of Rs. 8,839 lacs).
vii) The earning (loss) per share for the year ended 31 March, 2015
would have been Rs.(177.61) against reported earning (loss) per share
of Rs.(50.37).

Mar 31, 2014
1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Malwa
Cotton Spinning Mills Limited, which comprise the Balance sheet as at
March 31, 2014, and the Statement of profit and loss and 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
2. 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 referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956. 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.
Auditor''s Responsibility
3. 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 Company''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 internal controls. 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.
Emphasis on Matter
4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note no. 39 in
the financial statements. The Company has incurred a net loss of
Rs.4,866 lacs during the year ended 31st March, 2014, which together

the company, and as of that date, the company''s current liabilities
exceeded its current assets by Rs.13,811 lacs and its total liabilities
exceeded its total assets by Rs.18,370 lacs. The Consortium banks have
recalled their total debts due from the company. These events cast
significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going
concern. The appropriateness of the going concern assumption is
dependent on the company''s ability to establish consistent profitable
operations and generate positive cash flows as well as raising adequate
finance to meet its short term and long term obligations. Based on the
mitigating factors stated in the said note, the management of the
company believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate.

Report on the Financial Statements
1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Malwa
Cotton Spinning Mills Limited, which comprise the Balance sheet as at
March 31, 2013, and the Statement of profit and loss and 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
2. 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 referred to in sub- section (3C) of section
211 of the Companies Act, 1956. 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.
Auditor''s Responsibility
3. 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
Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the financial 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 financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion. Emphasis on Matter
4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note no. 39 in
the financial statements. The Company has incurred a net loss of *
1R171 T! lacs during the year ended 31st March, 2013, which together
with Drought forward losses of 1848.11 lacs exceeds the net worth of
the company, and as of that date, the company''s current liabilities
exceeded its current assets by RS. 6972.79 lacs and its total liabilities
exceeded its total assets by X 13504.88 lacs. This condition indicates
the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. Basis for Qualified
Opinion
5. Further we report that:
i. Non confirmation of balances of trade receivables, trade payables,
loans and advances and recoverables and its impact on loss, assets and
liabilities is not ascertainable.
ii. Refer note no. 37 In absence of availability of net realizable
value of slow moving items of inventories to the tune of RS. 236.14 lacs,
these have been valued at cost instead of lower of cost and net
realizable value. The impact of valuation on loss and current assets is
not ascertainable.
Hi. Refer note no. 36 No provision has been made for doubtful trade
receivables, advances and other recoverables aggregating to RS. 6,591.94
lacs. Had the impact of our observation been considered, then loss for
the year would have been RS. 22,763.61 lacs (against the reported figure
of RS. 16,171.67 lacs) and reserves and surplus would have been RS.
(23,611.72) lacs (against the reported figure of 1(17,019.78) lacs and
Current assets would have been RS.10,1''69.66 lacs (against the reported
figures of 116,997.94 lacs.) Qualified Opinion
6. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us subject to our comments in paragraph 5
above, the said financial statements read together with significant
accounting policies and notes thereon give the information required by
the Companies Act, 1956 in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally
