These factors raise substantial doubts as to the Company's ability to continue as going concern and therefore, the Company may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts.

Based on the above facts we are of the opinion that going concern assumption has been affected and the financials should have been stated at net realisable value.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph regarding erosion of net-worth coupled with other events and inability in realization of assets and discharge of liabilities based on going concern assumptions and clauses (1), (2), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9) of annexure to Auditor's Report referred in paragraph 1 of "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" below being non provision of physical verification due to restricted access of fixed assets and inventories, unpaid public deposit, maintenance of cost records, unpaid statutory dues, cash loss in the current financial year and default in the payment of dues to financial institutions and banks, the financial statement give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and gives a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as on 31st March, 2015, and its loss and its cash flow for the year ended on that date.

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 the material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud. 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 effectiveness of the entity''s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and 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 qualified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

(A) The financial statements have been prepared by the Company on the going concern basis os fully elaborated in Note 38 of the financial statements even though the proceedings are going on before the Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction under the Sick Industrial Companies(Special Provisions) Act 1985. . . . . - . . .

(B) We had reported in our audit report for the year ended 31s'' March 2012 as under:-

(i) The entire net worth of the Company has eroded completely; (ii) the Company has initiated the bidding process for the disposal of production lines 1 and 4(non -core assets) out of 4 production lines at plant situated at Gautam Budh NagarfUttar Pradesh) after obtaining approval of CDR lenders and consequently impaired those production lines by Rs. 3,865.91 Lacs and related stores & spares by Rs. 512.28 Lacs; (Hi) the manufacturing operations at other production lines at plants situated at Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) & Parwanoo (Himachal Pradesh) could not be resumed in the financial year due to non-participation of labour in production process reasoning to their over-dues; (iv) the Company has defaulted in repayment of loans as per CDR scheme and borrowings of other lenders, as elaborated in note no. 38 of the financial statements; (v)there is diminution in the value of long term investments; (vi) reconciliation and confirmations of balances of certain major creditors and acceptances are pending; (vii) non- redemption of 969,163, 0% redeemable preference shares of RslOO each amounting to Rs. 969.16 lacs already due for redemption; and (viii) non payment of preference dividend for the period from 31st March 2008 to 31st March 2012 aggregating to Rs. 773.61 Lacs on 21,10,116 8% Non Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares.

(C) We further reported in our audit report for the year ended on 31st March, 2013 as under:- -

(I) In view of the continued failure of the Company to disburse the legitimate dues of the workmen, Hon''bie High Court of Himachal Pradesh (Shimla) has settled the dispute by passing an order for the closure of

- Deflection Yoke unit at Parwanoo (H.P) and thereby, pay off the corresponding outstanding dues by selling the industrial undertaking/Company assets etc., (ii) the operations have been suspended in all locations by the mid of November 12, & have not been resumed till date and consequently, management has impaired the production lines 3 & 5, located at Gautam Buddh Nagar (UP) & Deflection Yoke unit located at Parwanoo (HP) by Rs.27,977.06 lacs and related stores & spares by Rs. 410.35 lacs etc.; (iii) the impairment of assets of production line 2, located at GautamBuddh Nagar (U.P.), and gun division at Meerut has not been - considered by the management on the rationale of its revival plan of running the operations by restructuring them even though in our opinion considering the liquidity crunch, the probability of running these lines seems remote;

(iv) the balances outstanding as on 31stMarch, 2013 of receivables & inventory are subject to confirmation & physical verification respectively due to temporary suspension of operations & non access to inventories, (v) raw material & finished goods inventory amounting to Rs. 311.90 lacs and Rs. 55 lacs respectively have been seized by the excise authorities due to non-payment of excise dues; (vi) there is non- submission of various statutory returns acknowledged by the respective authorities, non provision/deposition of various overdue statutory liabilities like PF/Service Tax/TDS/Excise/Vat & CST/WCT/TCS/ESI/ Gratuity/Bonus/ Preference dividend & related over dues (interest and penalty), non deduction of TDS on provisional expenses; and as explained by management exact amount of which could not be ascertained in present scenario;

(viii)there is increase in diminution of investments in current year of Rs.841.48 lac;, (ix) Assets lying with the Provident Fund trust have been transferred to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and those related to Gratuity Trust have been settled by adjustment of employees dues. However, as per the management, related liability has been accounted for completely and there will be no demand over and above the same;

(x) Company has accounted for its gratuity and leave encashment liability on actual basis rather than on actuarial valuation method which has been prescribed in Accounting Standard AS-15, "Employee Benefits".

(D) We further report that during the year ended 31st March, 2014 the facts and situation mentioned above continues Further the Company has not complied with the provisions of clause 35 of listing agreement (submission of shareholding pattern) and requirements ofSEBI circular no. D & CC/ FITTC/CIR-16/2002 dated 31.12.2002 regarding Reconciliation of Share Capital Audit Report, for the quarter ended 31s1 December 2013. Default still continues.

These factors raise substantial doubts as to the Company''s ability to continue as going concern and therefore, the Company may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts.

Based on the above facts we are of the opinion that going concern assumption has been affected and the financials should have been stated at net realisable value.

We had reported in our audit report for the year ended 31st March 2012 as under:- (i) The entire net worth of the Company has eroded completely; (ii)the Company has initiated the bidding process for the disposal of production lines 1 and 4(non -core assets) out of 4 production lines at plant situated at Gautam Budh Magar(Uttor Pradesh} after obtaining approval of CDR lenders and consequently impaired those production lines by Rs. 3,366.91 Lacs and related stores & spares by Rs, 512.28 Lacs;(iii} the manufacturing operations at other production tines at plants situated at Ghaziobad (Uttar Pradesh) & Parwanoo (Himachai Pradesh) could not be resumed in the financial year due to non-participation of labour in production process due to their over-dues; (iv) the Company has defaulted in repayment of loans as per CDR scheme and borrowings of other lenders; (v)there is diminution in the value of long term investments; (vi)reconciliation and confirmations of balances of certain major creditors and acceptances are pending; (vii) non- redemption of 969,163, 0% redeemable preference shares of RslOO each amounting to Rs. 969.16 lacs already due for redemption; and (viii) non payment of preference dividend for the period from 32sr March 2008 to 31st March 2012 aggregating to Rs. 773.61 Lacs on 2110116 8% Non Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares.

We further report that during the year, in addition to the continuation of our above observations, as under :-

(i) in view of the continued failure of the Company to disburse the legitimate dues of the workmen, Hon''ble High Court of Himachai Pradesh (Shimla) has settled the dispute by passing an order for the closure of Deflection Yoke unit at Parwanoo (H.P) and thereby, pay off the corresponding outstanding dues by selling the industrial undertaking/Company assets etc., (ii)the operations have been suspended in all locations by the mid of November 12, & have not been resumed till date and consequently, management has impaired the production tines 3 & 5, located at Gautam Buddh Nagar (UP) & Deflection Yoke unit located at Parwanoo (HP) by Rs. 27,977.06 lacs and related stores & spares by Rs. 410.35 lacs etc.; (Hi) the impairment of assets of production line 2, located at Gautam Buddh Nagar (U.P.), and gun division at Meerut has not been considered by the management on the rationale of its revival plan of running the operations by restructuring them even though in our opinion considering the liquidity crunch, the probability of running these lines seems remote; (iv) the balances outstanding as on 31st March, 2013 of receivables & inventory are subject to confirmation & physical verification respectively due to temporary suspension of operations & non access to inventories, (v) raw material & finished goods inventory amounting to Rs. 311.90 lacs and Rs. 55 lacs respectively have been seized by the excise authorities due to non- payment of excise dues; (vi) there is non-submission of various statutory returns acknowledged by the respective authorities, non provision/deposition of various overdue statutory liabilities like PF/Service Tax/TDS/Excise/Vat & CST/WCT/TCS/ESI/Gratuity/Bonus/ Preference dividend & related over dues (interest and penalty), non deduction of TD5 on provisional expenses; and as explained by management exact amount of which could not be ascertained in present scenario; (viii) there is increase in diminution of investments in current year of Rs. 841.48 lacs, (ix) Assets lying with the Provident Fund trust have been transferred to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and those related to Gratuity Trust have been settled by adjustment of employees dues. However, as per the management, related liability has been accounted for completely and there will be no demand over and above the sum;, (x) Company has accounted for its gratuity and leave encashment liability on actual basis rather than on actuarial valuation method which has been prescribed in Accounting StandardAS-15, "Employee Benefits".

These factors raise substantial doubts as to the Company''s ability to continue as going concern and therefore, the Company may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the norma! course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets ampunps

Based on the above facts we are of the opinion that going concern assumption has been affected and the financials should have been stated at net realisable value.
