of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985.
During the year, company ceases to be a sick industrial Company vide
order dated 08 June 2015 within the meaning of Section 3(1)(o) of Sick
Industrial Companies Act (SICA) as its net worth has turned positive as
on 31st December 2014. However as on 30 June 2015, the net worth has
turned negative amounting to Rs. 639,730.
Considering the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2015 and
the subsequent financial stress caused by the Alumeco Group withdrawing
extended credit terms for supply of raw material, there exists
significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern. The Management is in the process of
evaluating available options to rehabilitate the Company. The financial
results for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared on a going
concern basis and do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or, to
amounts or classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management's Reply:
The accumulated loss at the year end is Rs. 161.16 million which is
more than 100% of the net worth of the Company. However, during the
year, company ceases to be a sick industrial Company vide order dated
08 June 2015 within the meaning of Section 3(1)(o) of Sick Industrial
Companies Act (SICA) as its net worth has turned positive as on 31st
December 2014.
The Alumeco Group, Denmark took a commercial decision to stop extending
the facility of supplying raw material on credit to the Company, as was
being done in the past. This decision coupled with the accumulated
losses in the Company and the prevailing adverse business conditions
(on account of liquidity crunch, labour problems, power cuts, poor
order book position due to bad economic scenario, credit crunch in the
market, etc.), has further strained the financial position of the
Company. However, the Board of Directors and the Management of the
Company are actively pursuing various available options to rehabilitate
the Company and currently believe that the Company would be in a
position to continue as a going concern. Hence, these financial
statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption.
2. Matter of Emphasis
1. Note 2.25(h) which describes the uncertainty related to the outcome
of the lawsuit filed against the Company by the workers regarding
settlement of compensation amounting to Rs.10,816,903.
Management Reply
Till the end of the relevant financial year the Company has settled 39
workers out of 97 workers with mutual agreement on individual basis and
the approximate liability regarding settlement compensation for
remaining 58 workers is estimated to be Rs. 10.82 million on the basis
of earlier settlements. As the amount is not certain at this stage,
provision is not made and shown as contingent liability.
2. Note 2.27 (C) with regards to extraordinary item on account of write
back of Rs. 96,456,372 (excluding exchange effect) payable to creditors
with mutual consent for which direct confirmation is not received.
Management Reply
During the year, Alumeco Handler services GmbH has waived off the
payable amount of Rs. 96.46millions with mutual consent, for which the
auditors had received the direct confirmation on later date.
3. Note 2.29 regarding provision of gratuity amounting Rs. 4,945,334
and compensated absences amounting to Rs. 988,708 is provided on actual
basis and no actuarial valuation has been made as per the requirement
of Accounting Standard -15 - Employee Benefits.
Management Reply
Since Company has already made application for closure, provision for
gratuity and compensated absences has been made on actual basis. As at
the end of the year, there is no employee on whom further gratuity
liability is to be accrued. Hence no actuarial valuation is being done.
4. As per Sec. 138 of Companies Act, 2013 internal audit has not been
carried out by the Company as there were no operations in the company
during the year.

Auditors'' Qualifications and Management''s
Reply: 1. ''Basis for Qualified Opinion'' of the Audit Report:
As more fully explained in note 2.24 to the financial statements that
the Company has accumulated losses of Rs. 271,440,790 as at 30 June
2014 which have exceeded the paid up capital and reserves (Rs.
160,522,805) of the Company at that date. The Company had been declared
sick on 9 February 2010 and had made a reference to the Board for
Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in terms of Section 15(1)
of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. It is
currently in the process of working out a rehabilitation scheme with
the BIFR. Considering the financial position of the Company as at 30
June 2014 and the subsequent financial stress caused by the Alumeco
Group withdrawing extended credit terms for supply of raw material,
there exists significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be
able to continue as a going concern. The Management is in the process
of evaluating available options to rehabilitate the Company under the
aegis of BIFR / Operating Agency. The financial results for the year
ended 30 June 2014 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts, or, to amounts or
classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern.
Management''s Reply:
The accumulated loss at the year end is Rs. 271.44 million which is
more than 100% of the net worth of the Company. On the Company''s
reference to BIFR, it was declared Sick by the BIFR, which has
appointed Canara Bank as the Operating Agency. The Alumeco Group,
Denmark took a commercial decision to stop extending the facility of
supplying raw material on credit to the Company, as was being done in
the past. This decision coupled with the accumulated losses in the
Company and the prevailing adverse business conditions (on account of
liquidity crunch, labour problems, power cuts, poor order book position
due to bad economic scenario, credit crunch in the market, etc.), has
further strained the financial position of the Company. However, the
Board of Directors and the Management of the Company are actively
pursuing various available options to rehabilitate the Company under
the aegis of BIFR/Operating Agency and currently believe that the
Company would be in a position to continue as a going concern. Hence,
these financial statements have been prepared under the going concern
assumption.
2. Matter of Emphasis
1. Note 2.25(h) which describes the uncertainty related to the outcome
of the lawsuit filed against the Company by the workers regarding
settlement of compensation amounting to Rs.12.20 millions.
Management Reply
During the year the Company has settled 34 workers out of 97 workers
with mutual agreement on individual basis and the approximate liability
regarding settlement compensation for remaining 63 workers is estimated
to be Rs.12.20 million on the basis of earlier settlements. As the
amount is not certain at this stage, provision is not made and shown as
contingent liability.
2. Note 2.27 (C) regarding waiver of interest payable on overdue bills
to group company amounting to Rs. 4.74 millions.
Management Reply
As per Trade Agreement between Alumeco Handlerservices GmbH and Alumeco
India Extrusion Limited, Interest was to be paid on the overdue bills
at the rate of 6 month USD libor plus seventy five basis points. During
the year, Alumeco Handlerservices GmbH has waived off the entire
interest payable on overdue bills amounting Rs. 4.74 millions.
3. Note 2.29 regarding provision of gratuity (Rs. 5.79 millions) and
compensated absences (Rs. 1.32 millions) is provided on actual basis
and no actuarial valuation has been made as per the requirement of
Accounting Standard - 15 Â Employee Benefits.
Management Reply
Since Company has already made application for closure, provision for
gratuity and compensated absences has been made on actual basis. As at
the end of the year, there is no employee on whom further gratuity
liability is to be accrued. Hence no actuarial valuation is being done.
4. Note 2.43 which describe reversal of excise provision amounting to
Rs.29.53 millions made after obtaining views from excise consultants
for the cases pending before Central Excise and Service Tax Appellate
Tribunal (CESTAT). However the amount is exhibited in contingent
liability.
Management Reply
The Company has obtained the legal opinion from its excise consultants
regarding the likely outcome of the case. As per the consultants
opinion, the company has a fairly good case before CESTAT and even in
the worst scenario the total liability should not be more than the
amount of Rs. 19.5 million which is already deposited. Hence, the
reversal of additional excise provision made earlier amounting Rs.
29.53 millions (on account of interest and penalty) is being done.
3. Annexure to the Auditors'' Report: 1. Clause No. (ix) (a):
According to the information and explanations given to us, there are no
undisputed amounts payable in respect of Provident Fund, Employees''
State Insurance, Income-tax, Sales-tax, Service tax, Customs duty,
Excise duty and other material statutory dues that were in arrears as
at 30 June 2014 for a period of more than six months from the date they
became payable except for income tax amounting to Rs. 3,015,288 which is
outstanding for more than six months as at 30 June 2014. As explained
to us, the Company did not have any dues on account of Investor
Education and Protection Fund and Wealth Tax.
Management''s Reply:
The amount of Rs. 3,015,288 is related to Minimum Alternate Tax
provision for the earlier years. The Company is under BIFR. The
payment is being taken up for waiver under the Rehabilitation Scheme.
2. Clause No. (x):
The accumulated losses at the end of the financial year are more than
50% of its net worth. The Company has incurred cash losses in the

was referred to the BIFR and has been declared sick by the BIFR.

Reply:
1. Point No. 3 of the Audit Report:
As more fully explained In note 2.25 to the financial statements that
the Company has accumulated losses of 7 252,526,547 as at 30 June 2013
which have exceeded the paid up capital and reserves (1 160,522,805) of
the Company at that date. The Company had been declared sick on 9
February 2010 and had made a reference to the Board for Industrial &
Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in terms of Section 15(1) of the Sick
Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. It is currently in
the process of working out a rehabilitation scheme with the BIFR.
Considering the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2013
and the subsequent financial stress caused by the Alumeco Group
withdrawing extended credit terms for supply of raw material, there
exists significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able
to continue as a going concern. The Management is in the process of
evaluating available options to rehabilitate the Company under the
aegis of BIFR / Operating Agency. The financial results for the year
ended 30 June 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts, or, to amounts or
classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern. Management''s Reply:
The accumulated loss at the year end is Rs. 252.52 million which is
more than 100% of the net worth of the Company. On the Company''s
reference to BIFR, it was declared Sick by the
BIFR, which has appointed Canara Bank as the Operating Agency. The
Alumeco Group, Denmark took a commercial to stop extending the facility
of supplying raw material on credit to the Company, as was being done
in the past. This decision coupled with the accumulated losses In the
Company and the prevailing adverse business conditions (on account of
liquidity crunch, labour problems, power cuts, poor order book position
due to bad economic scenario, credit crunch In the market, etc.), has
further strained the financial position of the Company. However, the
Board of Directors and the Management of the Company are actively
pursuing various available options to rehabilitate the Company under
the aegis of BIFR/Operating Agency and currently believe that the
Company would be in a position to continue as a going concern. Hence,
these financial statements have been prepared under the going concern
assumption.
2. Point No. (ix) (a) of Annexure to the Auditors'' Report:

The Company has accumulated losses of Rs. 180,817,667 as at 30 June
2010 which have exceeded the paid up capital and reserves (Rs.
160,522,805) of the Company at that date. Also, the Company has made a
reference to the Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR)
in terms of Section 15(1) of the Sick Industrial
Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and has been declared sick on

rehabilitation scheme with the BIFR.
Though the management is making efforts to improve the performance, and
though the Company has made profits for the year ended 30 June 2010,
considering the financial position of the Company at that date, there
exists uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to continue
as a going concern. However, the financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2010 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do
not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts, or, to amounts or
classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern.

The accumulated loss at the year ending June 30, 2010 was Rs.
180,817,667, which is more than 100% of the Companys net worth. On the
Companys reference, the Board for Industrial and Financial
Reconstruction (BIFR) has declared the Company as sick and appointed

is under process. The Company strongly believes that it will be able to
work out a suitable Rehabilitation Scheme along with the Operating
Agency and will continue to be a going concern.
