| I. Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of M/s. BALAJI
INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, Statement of Profit and Loss and
Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
II. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
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 sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"), (which continues to be
applicable in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in
terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.
III. 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 auditors'
judgement, 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 auditors consider internal
control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the 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 qualified audit opinion.
IV. Basis for Qualified Opinion
a) In respect of 9 accounts in various banks in the name of the
Company, it has been represented that they are inoperative throughout
the year. However, no bank statements / confirmation of balances were
produced to us and hence we are unable to comment on the transaction,
if any, passed through these accounts.
b) In respect Corporate Guarantees given in earlier years by the
Company on behalf of Other Bodies Corporate, liability has devolved on
the Company and recall notices have been served for Principle of Rs.
1,512.00 lakhs (P.Y. Rs.. 1,512.00 lakhs) and unquantified interest
thereon. However, no provision is made in the Books for such liability
and such non-provision is against the fundamental accounting principles
of accrual, prudence and conservatism as per Accounting Standard-1
issued by the ICAI and also referred in section 211 (3C) of the
Companies Act.
V. 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
