ANNEXURE REFERRED IN PARAGRAPH (3) OF AUDITORS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON
THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 2008 OF ADHUNIK YARNS
LIMITED ON THE BASIS OF SUCH CHECKS AS WE CONSIDER APPROPRIATE AND IN
TERMS OF THE INFORMATION AND EXPLANATION GIVEN TO US, WE STATE THAT:
(i) a) The company has not maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets; as fixed assets register was not produced to us for our
verification;
b) As informed to us, the management has not, during the year,
physically verified the fixed assets. Hence, discrepancies, if any, in
the fixed assets, could not be ascertained; further the fixed assets of
the company were not insured for any risk; and
c) Refer note no. 12 of Schedule 17, the company has, during the year,
sold substantial fixed assets. The company has also not so far made any
plans to replace the fixed assets that have been sold. These factors,
along with other matters as set forth in note no. 12 of Schedule 17,
raise substantial doubt about the companys ability to continue as a
going concern in foreseeable future.
(ii) a) As informed to us, the inventory of finished goods is
physically verified at the close of the year only by the management. In
our opinion, the verification of inventory only at the close of the
year cannot be said to be reasonable;
b) The procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by
the management are, in our opinion, needs to be strengthened in
relation to the size of the company and the nature of its business as
no records evidencing the physical verification were produced to us
except confirming the same as done; and
c) The company for inventory has maintained no specific records that
can be said proper. As. informed to us no material discrepancies have
been noticed on physical verification of finished stock whereas in the
absence of physical verification by management of other items of store,
spare parts, packing material, colour, chemicals etc lying at the units
of the company, where manufacturing operations were shut down,
discrepancies could not be determined as compared to book records /
statements and hence can not be commented upon;
(iii) a) As informed to us, the company has, during the year, not
granted loans, secured or unsecured to companies, firms and other
parties covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the
Act; and;
b) As the company has not granted any loans, therefore, the reporting
requirements under provisions of sub clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the
clause 4 (iii) of the CARO 2003 are not applicable;
c) During the earlier years the company has taken trade advances /
deposits in the nature of unsecured loan from four parties covered in
the register maintained under section 301 of the Act. The maximum
amount involved during the year was Rs. 298.59 lacs and the year-end
balance was Rs. 290.79 lacs, which are included in sundry creditors Rs.
270.09 lacs & Rs. 20.70 lacs in unsecured loans;
d) The aforesaid loans taken were interest free, except from one party
year end balance is Rs. 2.13 lacs, so the rate of interest and other
terms and conditions of the aforesaid loans taken were prima facie not
prejudicial to the interest of the company; and
e) Out of the aforesaid loans a sum of Rs. 270.09 lacs, the payment of
principal amount of that, however it is informed that there was/ is no
stipulation, still, in our opinion, are not regular as the same are
outstanding since long. Therefore this sum, looking at the financial
condition of the company, is, prudently, overdue as the creditor
company is a sick industrial undertaking declared by BIFR. For other
loans, taken during the year, in the absence of any stipulation, we are
not in the position to comment upon the payment of principal amount.
(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
given to us, internal control system followed by the management need to
be strengthened commensurate with the size of the company and the
nature of its business, for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets
and for the sale of goods. During the course of audit, no major
weakness has been noticed in these internal controls system.
(v) a) The company has not produced the register required to be
maintained under section 301 of the Act, for our verification, hence it
can not be said whether the particulars of contracts or arrangements
referred to in above mention section to be entered into such register
have been so entered; and
b) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
given to us, there were no transactions made, exceeding the value of
Rs. 5 lacs in respect of any party during the year in pursuance of
