AUDIT QUALIFICATIONS

Audit Qualifications for the Standalone Financial Statements for the Financial Year 2015-16:

1. With reference to Note No. 44 regarding the non-provision by the Company of the interest amounting to ₹36.75 crores

for the year and ₹94.97 crores up to 31-03-2016 on its working capital facilities from banks. Had this amount been

provided for, the loss would have been higher by ₹36.75 crores and the secured loans would have been cumulatively

higher by ₹94.97 crores.

2. The Company has not complied with the provisions of the section 74 or any other relevant provisions of the Act and

the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014 with regard to non-repayment of deposits and interest on due

date, maintenance of liquid assets to the extent required as well as not fully complying with the orders passed by the

Company Law Board.

3. With reference to Note No. 42 regarding the balance of Sundry Creditors, Debtors, Loans and Advances, deposits, inter

units etc being not confirmed by the parties/units and hence our inability to state whether these balances are

recoverable/payable to the extent stated.

4. With reference to Note No. 49 which indicates that the Company has accumulated losses exceeding the Share Capital

and Reserves and its net worth has been fully eroded. These conditions along with other matters indicate the existence

of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

However, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons

stated in the said note.

Management Response:

1. The Company trying for One Time Settlement (OTS) with the banks. Hence, it is felt prudent for not providing for

interest after the accounts became NPA.

2. On account of huge losses and negative net worth, there was financial crunch. Hence (i) as required u/s 74 of the

Companies act, 2013, the company could not pay its outstanding deposits as on 31.03.2014, within a period of one

year. (ii) could not maintain liquid assets (iii) could not comply fully with the orders passed by the Company Law Board

u/s 58A(9) of the Companies Act,1956. However, u/s 74(2) of the Companies Act, 2013 the Hon’ble Company Law

Board has granted an extension for repayment of deposits by its order dated 22.02.2016. Consequently, no amounts

were repayable as on 31.03.2016. The Company has provided for interest payable up to 31.03.2016

3. Reconciliation of balances of sundry creditors are an ongoing basis and the figures would be ascertained only when

the reconciliation is finalised. The Company is taking steps to obtain balance confirmation from its parties. However,

it will not have any material impact on the state of affairs of the Company.
