The 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 flows of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph below, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. We could not observe the counting of physical inventories in the absence of information available and restriction placed by the Management Accordingly, we were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31st March, 2013 and 31st March, 2014 which are stated in the Balance Sheet at Rs.44,11,593and Rs.44,11,593 respectively.

2. In addition, we were unable to confirm or verify by alternative means balance of accounts receivableRs.2,957,822,918 and balance of accounts payable Rs.244,505,890 and corresponding translation gain or loss, if any on theses balance is not recorded for the year ended 31st March, 2014 and same matters was reported in previous year.

3. We are also unable to confirm the bank balance (including working capital facility and overdraft) and interest payable thereon since the accounts are freezed by the consortium of banks and by income tax authorities and as a result facility has been ceased to be operational and same matter was reported in previous year,.

4. The Company has been unable to renegotiate its borrowings from its bankers and also incurred loss in current year and previous year. Without such financial support there is substantial doubt that it will be able to continue as a going concern. Consequently, adjustments may be required to the recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities. The financial statements (and notes thereto) do not disclose this fact.

As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of recorded or unrecorded inventories, bank balance (including overdraft facilities) and interest payable thereon and accounts receivable/payable and the elements making up the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the aforesaid financial statements.
