(India) Limited ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31,2014, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management''s
Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible
for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flow 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 dated 13th
September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of
section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material mis-statement,
whether due to fraud or error. Auditor''s Responsibility.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
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 the amounts and disclosures in die
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on die auditor''s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
mis-statement of me financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to me Company''s preparation and fair presentation of
die financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for die purpose of expressing
an opinion on effectiveness of me company''s internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and die reasonableness of die accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating die overall presentation of die
financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion. Opinion We report the observations / comments as under:
1 The accounts of the company have been prepared on going concern basis
though the accumulated losses of the company have exceeded its net
-worth. (Note30.I).
2 The premium on redemption of debentures is not provided (Sub para
ivof Note 1.3) and devolved non-fund based borrowings are accounted for
as and -when paid I discharged (Note 1.18), amounts whereof are not
ascertained.
3 Balance confirmations from debtors, creditors, advances, secured and
unsecured lenders, etc, are generally not asked / received and
accordingly not reconciled / confirmed. In absence of the same, these
balances and their classification are reflected as per the records
produced to us (Note 30.4).
4 Penal interest, compound interest and liquidated damages on loans
from Financial Institutions, Banks and others, wherever applicable,
have not been provided for in current as well as in previous period(s),

5 Calls in arrears accounts are subject to confirmation and

at fixed rate of 2.74% p.a. rather than a floating interest rate based
on 6-months-DM-Libor plus a margin of0.80% p.a., impact of which is not
ascertained.[Note5.5 (c)].
7 a) The company has locked out its POY division since 15th November,
2012. The company has not acertained liability if any, for locked out

Hon''ble Gujarat High Court (Note 23.1). b) The company had not
provided salary and wages of POY division for the period 1st October,
2012 to 14th November, 2012 amounting to Rs.65.55 Lacs as the matter is
pending with Hon''ble Gujarat High Court. In case the liabilty is
accounted for as on the Balance Sheet date, the "Current Liabilities "
would have been higher by Rs. 65.55 Lacs and "Accumulated Losses" would
have been higher by Rs. 65.55 Lacs. (Note 23.1)
8 Amount of Rs. 1,042.41 Lacs paid towards restructuring / settelement to
various preference share holders till 31st March 2014 has been
reflected under the head "Other current assets"pending sanction

9 Amount of Rs. 8,331,38 Lacs paid towards restructuring /settlement to
varous lenders till 31st March, 2014 had been reflected under the head
"Other current assets" rather than reducing the same from Loans shown

liabilities". In case, the payments made have been adjusted from the

have been lower by Rs. 8,331.38 Lacs.(Note 18.1).

OTSamount and have intimated the outstanding dues of Rs. 1,63.803.63 Lacs
including unsecured debts, dues ofUTIMF, overdue & penal interest etc.

entire dues of VTI MF and in the process of renegotiating the OTS
proposal with them, pending which, unpaid liability of Rs. 1,360 Lacs is
kept in books of accounts as per earlier settlement terms. In case, the

Liabilities" would have been higher by Rs. 1,62,443.83 Lacs and
"Accumulated Losses" would have been higher by that amount. (Note 9.3).
11 Exchange Fluctuation on foreign currency loan availed in DM currency
to acquire Plant and Machinery has not been provided since 01.04.2001
due to conversion of currency from DM to Euro as there is no currency
conversion clause in the agreement. In case, the liability is
accounted for based on the exchange rate of Euro as on the Balance
Sheet date, the "Current Liabilities" would have been higher by Rs.
13,813.93 Lacs,"Loss before tax for the year" would have been higher by
Rs. 4,429.78 Lacs and "Accumulated Losses" would have been higher by Rs.
13,813.93 Lacs [Note 5,5 (b)].
12 Provision for interest amounting to Rs. 910.74Lacs (including Rs.86.91
Lacs for the year) has not been made on public fixed deposits and on
retail non convertible debentures as company expects waiver /reliefs.

We further report drat, widiout considering items mentioned at para 1

generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

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.

amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of Section
227 (4A) of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure a

their classification are reflected as per the records produced (Note

has disputed the entire claimed dues of UTI Mutual Fund and is in the

unpaid liability of Rs.1360 lacs is kept in books of accounts as per

Sheet date, the "Loan Funds " would have been higher by Rs. 7012.36
lacs, "Loss after exceptional items for the year" would have been
higher by Rs.952.63 lacs and "Accumulated Losses" would have been
higher by Rs.7012.36 lacs. [Note No. 10(a) of Schedule 15].
