Exports 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 ended on that date, and a summary of the
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the 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 the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting
frauds and other irregularities, selection and application of the
appropriate accounting policies, making judgements and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance
of 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.
Auditors' Responsibility
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 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 financials control relevant to the Company's
preparation of the financial statements and 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 the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial
statements.
Basis for qualified opinion Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
1. Reference is invited to note no. 1 regarding preparation of accounts
on a Going Concern basis and the reasons stated therein, the Company's
operating results have been materially affected due to various factors
including non availability of finance in view of the consortium bankers
recalling the financial facilities granted, symbolic possession of
premises taken by the Bankers, Factory has ceased to carry on
manufacturing activity. These events cast significant doubts on the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern since the volumes
of business have also drastically dropped in the last 12 months. The
appropriateness of the going concern assumption is dependent on the
Company's ability to raise adequate finance from alternate means and/ or
recoveries from overseas debtors to meet its short term and long term
obligations as well as to establish consistent business operations. In
absence of any convincing audit evidences, no positive steps taken by
the management, non recovery of trade receivables on due dates, non
payment of liabilities including Income Tax dues and in view of multiple
uncertainties stated above, we are unable to determine the possible
effects on the financial statements. We are also unable to conclude on
the ability of the company to carry on as a going concern.
2. Reference is invited to note no.42 most banks have not provided
balance confirmations, hence we also unable to confirm the bank balance
(including working capital facility and overdraft) and interest payable
thereon since the accounts are freezed by the consortium of banks and
as a result facility has been ceased to be operational. and notice
under section 13(2) of The Securitisation and Reconstruction of
Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act,2002 is
received by the Company.
No provision for interest is made amounting to Rs 915,371,518/- since
all the bank accounts have become non performing assets (NPA)
3. Reference is invited to note no. 43 regarding Trade Receivables
amounting to Rs. 11,949,340,981/-which are outstanding for more than 1
year from invoice date. As explained therein, the recoveries from these
trade receivables have been almost negligible. There have been defaults
on the payment obligations by the debtors on the due dates. As informed
by the management no reply is received from any parties to whom legal
notices were sent. No confirmations are obtained. In view of the above
we are unable to comment on the realisability of the debts and any
provision to be made for unrealisability in the carrying amounts of
these balances and the consequential impact, on the financial
statements.
4. In absence of audited / unaudited results of subsidiaries and step
down subsidiaries, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate
audit evidence about the carrying amount of Company's investment in
various subsidiaries as at March 31, 2015. Consequently, we were unable
to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.
The said investments continue to be valued at cost.
5. No valuation has been carried out by an independent valuer as done in
earlier years accordingly, the determination of estimated net realizable
value is made by management, hence we were unable to satisfy ourselves
by alternative means concerning the inventory held at 31st March, 2015
which are stated in the Balance Sheet at Rs.163,01,90,777/-
6. The factory has ceased to carry on manufacturing activity since
October, 2014. The Management has not carried out impairment of assets
test as required by Accounting Standard (AS) 28 regarding Impairment of
Assets. Hence we are unable to comment upon the impact in the financial
statements.
Disclaimer of Opinion
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for
Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph specifically relating to the multiple
uncertainties created above, we have not been able to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the aforesaid financial
statements.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
financial statements:
1. Reference is invited to note no.43 of the financial statements, the
Company's advances to the extent of Rs. 11,706,797/- we are unable to
ascertain whether such balances are fully recoverable. Accordingly, we
are unable to ascertain the impact, if any, that may arise in case any
of these advances are subsequently determined to be doubtful of
recovery. Had the Company provided for the same, the loss for the
period would have been higher by the said amount.
2. Reference is invited to note no. 47 to the Companies Act, 2013
("the Act") coming in to effect from April 1, 2014, the Company has not
realigned the remaining useful life of fixed assets in accordance with
the provisions prescribed under Schedule II to the Act and has
continued to provide depreciation as per old Companies Act, 1956 hence
we are unable to comment upon the impact in the financial statements.
3. Reference is invited to note no.48 the management has confirmed
that no financial adjustment is required to be made in the financial
statements on account of various allegations, amongst promoters and
defamation notice received by the Managing Director of the company.

statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance of the Company in accordance with the Accounting
Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the
Companies Act, 1956(''the Act'') read with the General Circular 15/2013

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

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 Company''s internal control. 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.
