To the Members of ENNORE COKE LIMITE
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ENNORE COKE LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2017, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation and presentation of 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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 auditors 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 financial control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companys Directors, 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 audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company has not provided interest to the banks for an amount of Rs. 15 07 22 929 for the year under review on the premise that the bank accounts are presently not operational and the accounts have become Non- Performing Assets ( NPAs) and the banks have stopped charging interest from July 2015 as the accounts have become NPAs. The Company has taken this stand also on the premise that a proposal has been submitted to the banks for restructuring of the debts due to them and also the Company has registered under Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) as required under the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 as the net worth has been fully eroded. However the proposal for restructuring is pending with banks and BIFR has not initiated any proceedings in this regard. As a result the liability for payment of interest subsists till the acceptance of the restructuring proposal. As a result of the non provision of the sum of Rs 15 07 22 929, the loss and the liabilities to Banks is understated by the sum of Rs 15 07 22 929 respectively.
Qualified 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 matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion 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:
a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2017;
b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the Loss for the year ended on that date; and
c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date. Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention of the shareholders for the followings:
a) Note No 31 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding the financial statements being prepared on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the fact that the Companys net worth is fully eroded and is negative (Rs.85 55 00 276 ) as at March 31, 2017 and the consortium of banks have classified their debts as Non-Performing Assets. The Company has also made an application to Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) as required under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and the same has been registered. These events indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The going concern basis will be significantly impacted, pending approval of the rehabilitation package by BIFR.
b) Note No 47 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding non-availability of confirmation of balances relating to certain Loans and Advances, Trade Payables, Deposits, Advance given to a supplier and Loans received.
c) Note No 48 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding inter adjustments of trade receivables and Trade payables with a fellow subsidiary.
d) Note No 49 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding VAT payment of Rs.7 70 00 000/- paid to West Bengal VAT Authorities
e) Note No 50 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding adjustment of Input Credit - Excise duty.
f) Note No 51 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding non movement in trade receivables accounts.
g) Note No 52 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding non movement in certain loans & advances accounts.
h) Note No 53 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding non-provision of impairment on CWIP.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of matters mentioned above.
