Auditors' Report
Point-wise explanations to the observations on the Basis of Qualified
Opinion are as follows:
1. Since the company is a Sick Company and having accumulated losses,
no provision of leave encashment has been made. The provision for
gratuity had been made on the basis of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC)
gratuity policy taken by the Company in the past which had been
lapsed.The Company is discharging the current liability in respect of
leave encashment and gratuity, on the basis of as and when such
liabilities arise, whereas provisions against past liabilities are
sufficiently provided. Thus, there has been non-compliance of
Accounting Standard AS-15 to that extent.
2. Regarding non-provisions of interest liabilities as per point no 2
to 6 of the report of in respect of pre- lease charges, interest and
premium on redemption of debentures, interest on inter corporate
deposit and other loans, non-provision of interest on loans and working
capital facilities from various Financial Institutions and Banks
including liabilities for abandoned project, custom duty, demurrage and
insurance charges relating to imported machinery lying at port, it is
explained hereby that since the Company is a sick industrial unit duly
registered with Hon'ble BIFR under SICA (Special Provisions) 1985 and
in view of any likely relief, which may be allowed while arriving at
settlement with Secured lenders of the Company, these liabilities could
not be adequately provided. Therefore, the Management has decided not
to provide further liabilities in the Books of Accounts as mentioned
above.
3. As regards to non-provision of impairment losses for the assets lying
at Custom warehouse, the loss due to accidental fire reported by CWC
wherein the damage is unascertained and relevant assets are under the
charge of Court Receiver, the matter being sub-judice, the management
does not have adequate means to assess the same, As regards to
non-provision of impairment losses for the assets of Bhiwadi Unit, it is
explained that the production at the unit is suspended, therefore the
future cash flow and net realizable value have not been assessed.
Therefore, there has been non-compliance of Accounting Standard AS- 28,
to that extent.
4. Regarding depreciation being charged as a continuous process plant,
technical opinion was sought by Company and it has provided
depreciation accordingly.
5. Regarding part recovery of dues from debtors, the properties were
acquired by the Company based on the valuation report of the Government
approved valuer at that time.
6. Regarding unascertained losses relating to abandoned project the
management is unable to estimate such losses as the same is not
possible being the assets lying in the custom bonded warehouse partly
damaged by fire.
7. Regarding going concern assumption the management of the view that
Company's reference is pending before Hon'ble BIFR and in expectancy of
reliefs and concessions in form of waiver of interest and other
liabilities being restructured, the financial position of the Company
will improve and it will be able to match its future cash flows with
that of the liabilities.
8. Preference Shares could not be redeemed on the due dates in view of
continued financial crisis
9. Regarding non renewal of insurance policies it is stated that on
account of severe financial crisis, policies could not be renewed.
However, the fact was communicated to the financial institutions in the
past.
10. The ARCIL in possession of Khushkhera Unit of the company have
sold the assets of the company and in terms of the final sales
certificate the assets of the units and corresponding liabilities
thereof have been removed from the books of accounts of the company
during FY 2012-13, refer note no. 20.21 (a) of the balance sheet.

AUDITORS'REPORT
Point-wise explanations to the observations of the Auditors are as
follows:
Note No. 4(IV) of Auditors Report:
Since the company is a Sick Company and having accumulated losses, no
provision of leave encashment has been made. The provision for gratuity
had been made on the basis of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) gratuity
policy taken by the Company in the past which had been lapsed. The
Management is of the opinion that consequent upon the payments already
made to the employees of the Bhiwadi Unit, and for Khushkhera unit the
total liabilities in this regard is provided in the books, both these
units constitute about 80% of the total work force of the Company.
Therefore the liabilities already provided for in the books are
sufficient to meet out gratuity liabilities towards the remaining
employees. Thus, there has been non-compliance of Accounting Standard
AS-15 to that extent.
As regards to non-compliance of Accounting Standard AS-13 it is
explained that the investment made by the company in Rajasthan
Polyesters Ltd. and in Rajasthan Texfab Ltd. are for long term
strategic purposes. Therefore, the diminution in value between cost of
investment and market/breakup value has not been considered in
accounts. Therefore, there has been non-compliance of Accounting
Standard AS- 13, to that extent.
As regards to non-provision of impairment losses for the assets lying
at Custom warehouse, the loss due to accidental fire reported by CWC
wherein the damage is unascertained and relevant assets are under the
charge of Court Receiver, the matter being sub-judice, the management
does not have adequate means to assess the same, As regards to non-
provision of impairment losses for the assets of Bhiwadi and Khushkhera
Units it is explained that the production at both the units is
suspended, therefore the future cash flow and net realizable value have
not been assessed. Therefore, there has been non-compliance of
Accounting Standard AS- 28, to that extent.
Note No. 4(V) of Auditors Report:
On account of defaults and financial crises it is difficult to convince
any other suitable person to join the Board of the Company. Therefore,
the Management has no option but to reappoint the retiring Directors.
Note No. 4(VI) of Auditors Report:
(a) This being technical matter, technical opinion was sought by
Company and it has to be considered as continuous process plant.
(b) The property was acquired by the Company based on the valuation
report of the Government approved value.
(c) On Account of severe financial crisis insurance policies could not
be taken. However, this was communicated to the financial institutions
in the past.
(d) As explained above the management is of the opinion that losses
which may arise are unascertained in capital work in progress pending
in the Balance Sheet.
(e) On account of continued financial crisis Preference Shares could
not be redeemed on the due dates.
(f) No further information is being provided by the ARCIL after their
take-over of the unit, therefore assets and liabilities are being
continued as it was being shown in the earlier years.
(g) Regarding non compliance of Section 383A, it is stated that the
Company have shortlisted a candidate for the post of company secretary
who is expected to join the office shortly. However a firm of
practicing company secretary has also been appointed to look after the
day to day legal obligations.
Note No. 4(VII) of Auditors Report:
No provision for import duty on import of raw material under advance
license and duty against plant and machinery under EPCG scheme are
being made as the Company is under BIFR and expecting waiver/ extension
to fulfill the export obligation from Government authorities.
Regarding non-provision of pre-lease charges, interest and premium on
redemption of debentures, interest on inter corporate deposit and other
loans, non-provision of interest on loans and working capital
facilities from various Financial Institutions and Banks including
liabilities for abandoned project, demurrage and insurance charges
relating to imported machinery lying at port, it is explained hereby
that since the Company is a sick industrial unit and have registered
with the Hon'ble BIFR under the provision of SICA, 1985; these
liabilities could not be adequately provided in view of any likely
relief, which may be allowed by the Hon'ble BIFR. Therefore, the

AUDITORS REPORT
Point-wise explanations to the observations of the Auditors are as
follows:
Note No. 4(lV) of Auditors Report:
Since the company is a Sick Company and having accumulated losses, no
provision of leave encashment has been made. The provision for gratuity
had been made on the basis of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) gratuity
policy taken by the Company in the past which had been lapsed. The
Management is of the opinion that consequent upon the payments already
made to the employees of-the Bhiwadi Unit, and for Khushkhera unit the
total liabilities in this regard is provided in the books, both these
units constitute about 80% of the total work force of the Company.
Therefore the liabilities already provided for in the books are
sufficient to meet out gratuity liabilities towards the remaining
employees. Thus, there has been non-compliance of Accounting Standard
AS- 15 to that extent.
As regards to non-compliance of Accounting Standard AS-13 it is
explained that the investment made by the company in Rajasthan
Polyesters Ltd. and in Rajasthan Texfab Ltd. are for long term
strategic purposes. Therefore, the diminution in value between cost of
investment and market/breakup value has not been considered in
accounts. Therefore, there has been non-compliance of Accounting
Standard AS- 13, to that extent.
As regards to non-provision of impairment losses for the assets lying
at Custom warehouse, the loss due to accidental fire reported by CWC
wherein the damage is unascertained and relevant assets are under the
charge of Court Receiver, the matter being subjudice, the management
does not have adequate means to assess the same, As regards to non-
provision of impairment losses for the assets of Bhiwadi and Khushkhera
Units it is explained that the production at both the units is
suspended, therefore the future cash flow and net realizable value have
not been assessed. Therefore, there has been non-compliance of
Accounting Standard AS- 28, to that extent.
Note No. 4(V) of Auditors Report:
On account of defaults and financial crises it is difficult to convince
any other suitable person to join the Board of the Company.. Therefore,
the Management has no option but to reappoint the retiring Directors.
Note No. 4(VI) of Auditors Report:
(a) This being technical matter, technical opinion was sought by
Company and it has to be considered as continuous process plant.
(b) The property was acquired by the Company based on the valuation
report of the Government approved valuer.
(c) On Account of severe financial crisis insurance policies could not
be taken. However, this was communicated to the financial institutions
in the past.
(d) As explained above the management is of the opinion that losses
which may arise are unascertained in capital work in progress pending
in the Balance Sheet.
(e) On account of continued financial crisis Preference Shares could
not be redeemed on the due dates.
(f) No further information is being provided by the ARCIL after their
takeover of the unit, therefore assets and liabilities are being
continued as it was being shown in the earlier years.
(g) Regarding non compliance of Section 383A, it is stated that the
company secretary resigned on 31st December 2008. The Company is trying
its level best to appoint a company secretary but being a sick company
coupled with so many legal complications, the company is not able to
find a suitable candidate. However a firm of practicing company
secretary has been appointed to look after the day to day legal
obligations till the regular company secretary is appointed.
Note No. 4(VII) of Auditors Report:
No provision for import duty on import of raw material under advance
license and duty against plant and machinery under EPCG scheme are
being made as the Company is under BIFR and expecting waiver/ extension
to fulfill the export obligation from Government authorities.
Regarding non-provision of pre-lease charges, interest and premium on
redemption of debentures, interest on inter corporate deposit and other
loans, non-provision of interest on loans and working capital
facilities from various Financial Institutions and Banks including
liabilities for abandoned project, demurrage and insurance charges
relating to imported machinery lying at port, it Is explained hereby
that since the Company has been declared sick by the Honble BIFR under
the provision of SICA, 1985; these liabilities could not be adequately
provided in view of any likely relief, which may be allowed by the
Honble BIFR. Therefore, the Management has decided not to provide
further liabilities in the Books of Accounts as mentioned above.
