1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Marvel Industries
Limited, (the Company) as at March 31, 2009, and also the Profit and
Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that
date annexed thereto (collectively referred as the financial
statements). These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (the
Order) (as amended), issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956
(the Act), we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters
specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
4. We report that
(a) No provision is made for the amount of cumulative dividend of
Rs.437.72 lacs on overdue Preference Share Capital and interest payable
on the same, the amount in respect of which is not determinable.
Consequently, the balance of Profit and Loss Account is lower by
Rs.437.72 lacs.
(b) Company continues to account for the benefit of duty on raw
material cleared under advance license at the time of clearance of
goods instead of the year of export of the goods. Consequently the loss
for the year and the balance of the Profit and Loss Account is lower by
Rs.9.25 lacs.
(c) No provision for interest payable aggregating to Rs.4.92 lacs on
unsecured loan has been made in the current year and Rs.31.35 lacs in
the earlier years. Consequently, loss for the current year is lower by
Rs.4.92 lacs and the balance of the Profit and Loss Account is lower by
Rs.36.27lacs.
(d) The Company is incurring losses since 1997-98 and its net worth is
completely wiped off. In our opinion at the present borrowings the
operations of the company are not viable and the company would not be
able to pay all its liabilities. The companys application for revival
scheme is pending with Hon. AAIFR for its approval (Refer Note No.8 of
Schedule R (B) and Company expects sanction of the revival scheme,
hence the accounts are prepared on going concern basis:
(e) Some of the balances of loans, sundry debtors, deposits, loans &
advances and creditors are subject to confirmation and adjustments, if
any, on reconciliation, the consequential impact thereof on the
financial statements is not ascertainable.
5. Subject to our comments in paragraph 4 above and further to our
comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report that:
a. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
