AUDITORS REPORT:

The notes on Accounts referred in the Auditors Report are self-explanatory and therefore do not call for any clarification. However the specific issues dealt with by the auditors are addressed as under.

(i) AS2 On valuation of inventories has not been compiled with in respect of Excise Duty. The company has been consistently following system of accounts for excise duty as per section 145 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. There is no impact on the profits/losses due to this treatment.

(ii) AS9 requires the company to deposit undisputed statutory dues and the Company is also regular in depositing undisputed statutory dues, except in specific issues where some disputes are laying with Central Excise Department of Naroli and Sarigam dues are not yet paid because the Company is waiting for final decision.

(iii) The directors have not been able to reasonably estimate the retirement benefits due to staff/workers and hence no provision has been made in this account.

(iv) There has been a delay in depositing undisputed statutory dues including Provident Fund and Sales Tax. This is mainly on account of the fact that due to a fire in the companys factory and subsequent non-settlement of the insurance claim has resulted in a severe financial crunch for the company.
