levels of judiciary like DRT, District Courts and Bombay High Court.
The Company has defaulted in payment of various statutory dues like
Income Tax, FBT, Works Contract Tax, VAT etc. Considering all, Auditors
are of opinion that, the Company do not have going concern status.
However, the Management's view is that the Company is a going concern
although the Company has not secured any contracts for last many years.
The Company has been intermittently repaying the fixed deposit holders
but has been unable to repay the fixed depositors as ordered by the
Company Law Board vide its order dated June 2010. The Promoters of the

requirement. Redemption of Preference Shares has to be done only from

have relied upon MFCL Management''s perception for accepting going
concern assumption for drawing up MFCL accounts. Notwithstanding the

Company has no project in hand. As a policy decision, the Management
has decided to explore possibilities of Property Development Projects.
2. Preparation of Accounts on "Going Concern" Assumption
The Company has not received a single contract for last eight years.
The Company has incurred continuous losses for last many years, which
has eroded net worth of the Company. The Company is passing through
severe liquidity crisis and is unable to honor the " commitment to

with Property Development Business. The Liquidity crisis, and resultant
inability of the Company to meet its liabilities to Preference

Company. The claims made by the Company in courts of law and in
arbitrations primarily against various counter parties are nearly 40
times claims of other parties against the Company. A careful perusal of
these various subjudice matters shows that though there have been
certain so-called defaults in payments of various Taxes and other dues,
the Company has certain legal and sagacious grounds behind the
non-payments and once these are settled, the apparent liabilities shall
disappear.
Even in the present circumstances, the Company has some property
development options to turn itself around in the next 2 to 3 years.
These projects shall generate for the Company sufficient liquidity in
the next some years to meet all liabilities of the Company, to wipe off
all its losses and to generate a healthy status. With this, the Company
trusts that it has sound prospects and ought to be considered as a
Going Concern. Based on this, the accounts have been prepared on

profits. The Company expects to be able to turn the tables completely
and to redeem the Preference Shares In near future. Legal matters are
ongoing against the Company and also from the Company. The claims made

property development options to turn itself around in the next 2 to 3

1. Preparation of Accounts on "Going Concern* Assumption:
Although some circumstances such as the Company has not received a
single contract for last eight years: the Company has incurred
continuous losses for last many years, which has eroded net worth of
the Company; the Company is passing through severe liquidity crisis and
is unable to honour the commitment to Preference Shareholders, Banks,
Financial Institutions and Public depositors; the legal matters against
the Company are in process at various levels of judiciary like DRT by
the banks; The Company has defaulted in payment of various statutory
dues like Income Tax, FBT, Works Contract Tax, VAT etc. raise the
doubts over Companys going concern status.
The Managements view is that the Company is a going concern because
the Company has not secured any contracts for last many years only due
to the Managements conscious decision to replace the construction
contracting business with Property Development Business. Compromise
recently entered into with Bank of Maharashtra (BoM) warranted reversal
of entries made for provision towards interest to BoM as well as Andhra
Bank (AB) and Development Credit Bank (DCB). Such reversals cause the
losses to come down substantially to help the Companys net worth. The
Liquidity crisis and resultant inability of the Company to meet is
liabilities to Preference shareholders and other creditors is expected
to change soon. The Company has been intermittently repaying the fixed
deposit holders and expects to repay the fixed depositors as ordered by
the Company Law Board vide its order dated 14* June 2010. Redemption of
Preference Shares shall have to be done only from distributable
profits. The Company expects to be able to turn the tables completely
and to redeem the Preference Shares in near future. Legal matters are
ongoing against the Company and also from the Company. The claims made
by the Company in courts of law primarily the Government of Maharashtra
& its undertakings are nearly 40 times claims of other parties against
the Company. A careful perusal shall show that though there have been
certain so-called defaults in payments of various Taxes, the Company
has certain legal and sagacious grounds behind the non-payments and
once these are settled, the apparent liabilities shall disappear. Even
in the present circumstances, the Company has at least three ready
property development options to turn itself around in the next 2 to 3
years. These Andheri Flyover, Sangamwadi and Kharadi projects together
shall generate for the Company sufficient liquidity in the next three
years to meet all liabilities of the Company, to wipe off all its
losses and to generate a healthy status. With this, the Company trusts
that it has sound prospects and ought to be considered as a Going
Concern.
Based on this, the accounts have been prepared on going concern basis.
2. During the period, the Company has reviewed of all old and
non-moving balances of receivables and payables
(a) Account of each and every receivable was scrutinized by Management
in details based on the data available with the Company. As a result of
such scrutiny, the Company has property accounted for and written off
receivables of Rs. 432 Lac comprised of Rs. 12 Lac from associates, Rs.
200 Lac from a Bank and Rs. 220 Lac from others.
(b) Account of each and every present and past employee was scrutinized
by Management in details based on the personal data available with the
Company. As a result of this detailed scrutiny and verification,
following emerged and has been corrected where necessary:
i) In several cases, when the employees left, they owed money to the
Company, which was appearing as recoverable. Due to unavailability of
details of their present location, such recoverable amounts have been
written off.
ii) In several cases, employees full and final settlements were
already done and paid. But the accounting had remained to be done. This
has been corrected.
iii) Actual working of present and ex-employee for Gratuity payable,
Bonus payable and leave encashment payable is done.
iv) In several cases where balance dues were less than Rs. 2,000/- per
person and where the employees whereabouts are unknown, balances were
written back.

payable of Rs. 81.06 Lac is written back.
(c) The Company has made write back of payable of Rs. 935 Lac, which
includes deposits, advances and other payables. These include creditors
whose balances had remained unclaimed and static for five years or more
and whose supplies were not accepted by the Company etc.
3. In accordance with the Companys accounting policy, claims for
extra work in respect of contracts, which in the opinion of the
Management are recoverable, are recognized in the accounts depending on
certainty of receipt. Contract receipts for the year-ended 30/06/2001

Appropriate intimation of default has been sent to the Company Law
Board, Mumbai, in respect of each month since default. The Company has
stopped accepting / renewing fixed deposits from the date of default.
The Company has been repaying the Deposits as and when possible. The
Company applied under section 58A (9) of Company Act, 1956 to Central
Government for granting extension of repayment of deposits. The Company
Law Board vide its order dated 14/06/2010, was allowed the Company to
repay the overdue deposits by 31/03/2011, subject to that half of the
deposits have to be repaid by 31/12/2010.

into a partnership under the name and style of VI-MA Productions
engaged in the business of TV serials. The firm was voluntarily
dissolved vide Deed of Dissolution dated 23/01/2003. In terms of the
agreements made with Mr. Vinay Govind Apte, one of the retiring
partners, he will compensate the Company by payment of a lump sum
amount of Rs. 45 Lac latest by 31/03/2014. Mr. Apte has paid first
installment of Rs. 4 Lac in the current year and the Company is hopeful
of making the balance recovery. Necessary entries in the Books of
Accounts will be passed only on realization of the amount or on
confirmation of ultimate recoverability of the same.
9. Interest on advances received by the Company was recovered by SPPL
through Companys Running Account Bills and was duly accounted for by
the Company. Normally, such accounting treatment adequately records
charge of interest. However, the contract was continuously breached by
Shivashahi Punarvasan Prakalp Ltd. (SPPL) ab initio and was terminated
in gross violation of the terms of Contract. The Company contends that
SPPL has recovered interest from the Company, much in excess of what
was rightfully due. The Company has not accepted these debits made by
SPPL towards recovery of interest amounting to Rs.470.86 Lac. No
further claim has been made by SPPL. As such, no provision there for is
considered necessary. The Company has filed a Recovery Suit for a sum
of Rs. 23,672 Lac as of 18/03/2008 against SPPL in the Honble Bombay
High Court.
10. After publication of an Arbitration Award favouring a
sub-contractor, Rs. 1,889.89 Lac was payable. The Company entered into
consent terms with the sub-contractor, in supercession of the
Arbitration Award. As per consent terms, amounts were payable to the
sub-contractors upon the Company receiving its dues out of an
Arbitration Award from its Client. However, consequent to the unfair
attitude of this subcontractor to file unnecessary Contempt Petitions
against the Company and its Directors, which have since been summarily
dismissed by the Court of Law, the Company considers itself not bound
to implement the said consent terms any more and hence considers no
provisions to be necessary on that account.
11. Andheri Flyover Project: Further to the last audit report, ARCILs
illegal action of handing over the Companys subsidiarys (MFCLs)
Andheri flyover project has been in its final hearing stages in the
Honble Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal. Auditors of MFCL while noting
the confidence of its Management in reviving the project in foreseeable
future have expressed their inability to form an opinion in this
matter. They have relied on the Management perception while accepting
the appropriateness of the "going concern" assumption in drawing up the
subsidiary Companys accounts. The Companys debtors include an amount
of Rs. 3991.28 Lac due from MFCL as on 31/03/2010 (P.Y. Rs.3,991.11
Lac). The Companys auditors have also expressed their inability to
opine on the recoverability of this amount. Amount due from MFCL is
fully recoverable as per the Management opinion and hence no provision
is considered necessary.
12. The Companys Long Term Investment in Subsidiary Mahakali Flyover
Co. Ltd. (MFCL): Rs. 69.97 Lac: As per the Audited Balance Sheet of the
MFCL, it has accumulated a loss of Rs. 2.50 Lac. ARCIL and UTI forced
MFCL to default in repayment of loans. The matter as aforesaid is
subjudice in the Honble DRAT. MFCLs only project i.e. Andheri Flyover
Project is incomplete due to these litigations. Auditors of MFCL while
noting MFCL Managements confidence of reviving the Andheri Flyover
Project have stated that they are unable to form an opinion on going
concern status of the Company and have relied upon MFCL Managements
perception for accepting going concern assumption for drawing up MFCL
accounts. Notwithstanding the above, in view of the improved trends in
the real estate market in Mumbai, investments in equity of MFCL
continue to be stated at cost. Considering the long term involvement of
the Company in MFCL, the Management considers that such valuation at
cost is fair.
13. During the year ended 30/06/2002, the Company received Government
Grant in Aid of Rs. 100 Lac through Shri. Shivaji Raigad Smarak Mandal,
a Public Trust for specific asset being Ropeway at Raigad. In
accordance with the Accounting Standard: 12 on "Accounting for
Government Grants" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India, deferred income arising from such Government Grant has been
allocated to income over the period and in the proportion in which
depreciation on related asset is charged and Rs. 5.93 Lac being
depreciation charged for the current year on the said asset has been
credited to income. Net balance of Deferred Government Grant of Rs.
34.69 Lac pending its apportionment to profit and loss account has been
disclosed as liability in the Balance Sheet.
14. The information regarding amount overdue to small-scale industrial
undertaking and / or ancillary industrial suppliers on account of
principal and / or interest as at the close of the period is not
available. The Company has not obtained the information regarding their
status of the small scale undertaking defined as under "The Industries
(Development and Regulation) Act, 1951" and "The interest on delayed
payments of small scale and ancillary undertakings Act, 1993."
15. Balance of Loans / interest outstanding in respect of Bank of
Maharashtra (BoM) have been settled by way of a Compromise Deed.
Balance of Loans / interest outstanding in respect of Development
Credit Bank Limited (DCB), Stressed Assets Stabilization Fund, as
assignee of IDBI Bank and Andhra Bank (AB) were subject to their
confirmation. Interest and other charges had been debited and provided
in the accounts by the Company on the basis as set out earlier.
(a) Vide an agreement dated 15/12/2009, the Company reached an
agreement with BOM for all its dues, whereby the Companys total
liability is fixed at Rs. 30 Crore as on 31/03/2009 plus simple future
interest on reducing balance at 12.75% p.a. against BoMs claim on
22/12/2008 of Rs. 41.68 Crore. In view of this above, interest is
charged on Rs. 30 Crore on the above basis from 31/03/2009.
In the unlikely event of failure of this agreement, latest claim of BoM
against the Company of Rs. 41.68 Crore as of 22/12/2008 is countered by
the Companys counter-claim of Rs. 124.18 Crore as on 20/05/2008.
Hence, in such event the Company does not recognise either the
principal or the interest or any other sum to be due payable by it to
BoM and to the contrary the Company contends the adjudicated net final
sum to be due to it from BoM, which of course has not been taken any
cognisance of in the preparation of the accounts.
Hence, amounts provided for as payable to BoM by the Company are not an
admission of the Companys liability to BoM.
(b) Andhra Bank (AB) proceeded against the Company in the Honble Debts
Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Pune under OA 6/2006 with a claim of Rs.
23.38 Crore as on 31/10/2006. This includes an ex-facie error of
inclusion of returned / expired Bank Guarantees of Rs. 3.64 Crore. The
Company treats the claim of the Bank with the exclusion of this amount
of Bank Guarantee to be Rs. 19.74 Crore. The Company has provided for
simple interest on this amount at 12% p.a. from the date of filing of
the suit i.e. 31/10/2006.
This claim of AB is countered by the Companys counter-claim of Rs.
88.22 Crore as on 20/05/2008 and hence, the Company does not recognise
either the principal or the interest or any other sum to be due payable
by it to AB and to the contrary the Company contends the adjudicated
net final sum to be due to it from AB, which of course has not been
taken any cognisance of in the preparation of the accounts.
Hence, amounts provided for as payable to AB by the Company are not an
admission of the Companys liability to AB.
(c) Development Credit Bank Limited (DCB) assigned its Company related
portfolio to Assets Reconstruction Company India Limited (ARCIL) and
proceeded against the Company to DRT, Mumbai under OA 43/2008 with a
claim of Rs. 14.91 Crore as on 27/02/2008. The Company has provided for
simple interest on this amount at 12% p.a. from the date of filing of
the suit i.e. 27/02/2008.
This claim of DCB / ARCIL is countered by the Companys counter-claim
of Rs. 28.34 Crore as on 20/05/2008 and hence the Company does not
recognise either the principal or the interest or any other sum to be
due payable by it to DCB / ARCIL and to the contrary the Company
contends the adjudicated net final sum to be due to it from DCB /
ARCIL, which of course has not been taken any cognisance of in the
preparation of the accounts.
Hence, amounts provided for as payable to DCB/ARCIL by the Company are
not an admission of the Companys liability to DCB / ARCIL
(d) The dues of the Company to Stressed Assets Stabilization Fund, as
assignee of IDBI Bank were Rs. 4.95 Crore as on 01/04/2002. The Company
has allowed provision of simple interest on the same at 12% p.a. based
on principles as above.
Amounts as provided for as payable to IDBI by the Company are not an
admission of the Companys liability to IDBI.
16. Bank Balances include, a balance with National Bank of Dubai of
Rs. 1,90,630/- as per books of accounts. Bank statement or balance
confirmation certificate regarding this account is not available.
17. Deferred Taxes: The ultimate realization of the deferred tax
assets is dependant upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. These
timing differences result in the net differed tax asset mainly on
account of carry forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under
Income Tax Act, 1961. In absence of reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized, deferred tax asset has not been
recognized in these accounts.
18. The Companys claim in respect of Investment Allowance for various
years has been decided in favour of the Company by the Appellate
Authorities. The Department is in appeal to higher authorities in
respect thereof. Considering the facts of the case, no actual liability
is expected to arise.
19. Additional information pursuant to the provisions of Para 3, 4C
and 4D of, Part II of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 is not
given as construction being service activity is not covered under Para
3(ii) (C) of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956.
20. As the Company is engaged only in one line of business i.e.
Infrastructure Projects, no separate reportable segment is identifiable
as required by Accounting Standard - 17 on "Segment Reporting".
21. Balances under the head Loans and Advances, Deposits, Debtors and
Creditors are taken as per books, and are subject to confirmation and
consequent adjustment, if any on reconciliation. In the opinion of the
Management, these are realizable / payable in the ordinary course of
business at the values stated there against.
22. The Companys accounting period is from 01/01/2009 to 31/03/2010.
Consequently, the accounting period consists of 15 months. The previous
period being of 12 months upto 31/12/2008.
23. No provision for Income Tax is made in view of carried forward
losses of the Company.
24. Previous period figures have been regrouped and / or re-arranged
wherever considered necessary. Schedule A to M form an integral part
