In view of implementation of Stage BS IV as per the order of Hon.ble Supreme Court of India, no BS III vehicles will be sold in India from 1 April. 2017 as the Hon.ble Supreme Court banning the sales and registration of BS III vehicles. So India is all set to move to a BS IV future and it seems that the auto manufacturers will have to pay the price, as there are over 8.2 lakh BS III vehicles still lying unsold in the country.

This has an impact on the business of ANG, as the vehicle production at our customers end i.e. Ashok Leyland Limited has suffered a lot. This has been implemented on March 27, 2017, in view of vehicles produced in BS III compliance could not be rolled out. This has impacted us a huge as the tippers bodies which were to be mounted on the vehicle during the month of March could not be mounted or sold and the turnover of ANG reduced in the last quarter of 2016- 17.

Notwithstanding this, the resulting in huge vehicle inventories of BS III compliance vehicle manufactured by Ashok Leyland Limited to produce less vehicle in April 2017 and May 2017 and the vehicles of stock are to be retrofitted with BS IV compliant. This exercise will continue till July 2017and which have impact of supply of tipper bodies by ANG. The sale / manufacturing of Tippers by ANG may have impact of 60-70% less of tipper due to the reasons mentioned above.

Auditors Report

The report of Statutory Auditors contains the following observation on the financial statement:

1. The financial results shows that the company had made the provisions of NIL in their books of account for payment of premium to LIC on account of group gratuity cash accumulation plan during the financial year 2016-17. As the company had not paid the premium even in this year to LIC. Further, the company has not obtained the actuary valuation from independent actuary for the current year.

Management View :

The Company has paid gratuity to the outgoing employees amounting to Rs. 40,25,16V- during the year due to paucity of fund and mismatch in cash flow and the requisite amount in LIC Fund could not be deposited and similarly the actuary valuation has also not done.

2. The Company has not provided interest amounting to Rs.678.22 Lacs accrued and payable by the company on the loans availed from State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda. All the said loans have been termed as NPA W.e.f. 30.06.2016 and the Banks have stopped charging interest in the regular accounts of the company. Profit has been understated to the extent interest not booked by the Company. Loan has been increased by the amount of export bills crystalized by the banks.

Management View :

The Company has not provided for the interest as the banks have stopped charging the interest in the regular account of the company in their books.

3. During the year major inventories items have been classified as obsolete and has been classified as scrap by the Company. Out of the same major portion has been sold out during the year. However, it is not possible to quantify the impact of losses due to this.

Management View :

The company has suffered losses due to reduction in the valuation and generation of excessive scrap due to cancellation of orders of various components like Diff. Spiders, Worm and Gear, Diff. Pins, Automatic Slack Adjusters, Log Splitter parts, etc. from various overseas customers and Heavy Steel Fabrication for Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited.

4. In our opinion, there are many operations which have been either closed down or production have been suspended. The

hundred percent of exports orders have been cancelled. The majority of the Banks have declared the companys account as NPA. The sources of additional funds coming to the company are unforeseeable. This is an audit requirement for a qualification as going concern concept.
