Elder Health Care Ltd Share Price Auditors Report

TO THE MEMBERS OF

ELDER HEALTH CARE LIMITED

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Elder Health Care Limited ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 30th June, 2014, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flow of the Company in accordance with applicable 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 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the designing, implementing and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of financial statements that give a true and fair view and 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. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our modified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. Fixed Assets

Some of the company’s Plant & Machineries acquired/installed have not been put to use and some have been operational for a small fraction of the installed capacity. On such assets, the company has not provided for impairment loss.

Non provision of impairment loss is a departure from AS-28 "Impairment of Assets" as prescribed under the Act. Management has neither provided a Technical Evaluation Report nor a Valuation Report in order to arrive at the fair value and, consequently, quantifying the possible impairment loss on these assets could not be arrived.

2. Legal suits

As informed, various legal suits have been filed against the Company under various Acts and Statutes applicable to the Company, the same are being contested by the Company at various foras. The outcome of such suites and their impact on the affairs of the Company were not made available/explained to us.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note No. 33 of the Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements. The Company’s operations and operating results have been materially affected due to various factors. The appropriateness of the going concern assumption is dependent on the company’s ability to streamline its operations as well as infusing requisite finance to meet its short term and long term financial obligations and other statutory liabilities. Based on the mitigating factor discussed in the said note, management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate and no adjustments have been made in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph and Emphasis of Matter paragraph, the financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: I. In the case of Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 30th June, 2014; II. In the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the Loss of the Company for the year ended on that date; and III. In the case of Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date.
