Opinion
(i) Loan liability to consortium of Bankers as at 31.03.2013 as per the
books of the Company is Rs. 9031 lakhs excluding interest payable
amounting to Rs. 2021 lakhs credited to interest payable account. All
the loan accounts are defaulted since the financial year 2005-2006. The
Company was under a Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme with the
Bankers since 2005. Since the company could not comply with the terms
stipulated by bankers, the terms of the Scheme are no more applicable.
But the company is still providing interest on the above loans as per
terms agreed up on by the Bankers in COR Scheme. The company has
provided interest at a concessional rate of 8.25 % p.aon loans
amounting to Rs. 2719 lakhs, at 17.5% on Rs. 423 lakhs and no interest
is charged on the balance amount of Rs. 5889 lakhs (for which interest
moratorium was originally allowed). The Bankers have filed suits for
recovery of these advances. It is informed that the Company has since
submitted a scheme for One-Time-Settlement of these loans which is
under the consideration of the banks. The balance in the loan accounts
are not confirmed and reconciled. The total liability as claimed by the
Bankers originally in the Debt Recovery Tribunal is reported to be Rs.
16400 lakhs and this is disputed by the Company. Since the matter is
under litigation and application for One- Time-Settlement is under the
consideration of bankers, short provisions of interest and other
charges if any on these loan accounts are not presently ascertainable
(Refer Note No. 5).
(ii) Balance with Bankers (a )Fixed deposits of Rs. 295 lakhs is
appropriated by Bankers towards their loan accounts. The Company has
disputed these appropriations by the bankers and has not given effect
to the same in its books. Since the matter is under litigation, we are
not in a position to comment on the correctness of the deposits shown
by the company (b) Deposits amounting to Rs. 200 lakhs is earmarked by
the Bankers against liability to one of the creditors of the Company on
the basis of a Court Order (Refer Note No. 15).
(Hi) The Company has not provided overdue interest on hire purchase
loans outstanding Rs.256 lakhs availed from a hire purchase finance
Company, who have taken possession of the hypothecated assets, pending
settlement of accounts in respect of the assets seized by it. Liability
if any on this account is presently not ascertainable (Refer Note No.
5).
(iv) Receivables against Uncertified Work amounting to Rs. 623 lakhs,
Security Deposit and Withholding from Contract Income amounting to Rs.
312 lakhs relating to closed projects are pending realization due to
dispute with the clients and are in different stages of
arbitration/legal proceedings. We are not in a position to comment on
the realization of the above amounts at this stage (Refer Note No. 35).

substantial so as to affect the going concern assumption.
