ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 3 OF THE AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE
MEMBERS OF FAME INDIA LIMITED ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31
MARCH 2012.
In terms of the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, on the basis
of information and explanations given to us and the books and records
examined by us in the normal course of audit and such checks as we
considered appropriate, to the best of our knowledge and belief, we
state as under:
1. The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars
including situation of fixed assets. However, the Company is in the
process of updating the quantitative details.
The fixed assets have been physically verified by the management at
reasonable intervals and no material discrepancies have been noticed on
such verification.
Fixed assets disposed of during the year were not substantial and
therefore do not affect the going concern assumption.
2. Inventories were physically verified by the management at
reasonable intervals during the year.
In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of inventories
followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to
the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
In our opinion, the Company has maintained proper records of its
inventories and no material discrepancies were noticed on physical
verification of inventories as compared to book records.
3. The Company has taken loan from its holding company which is
covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Companies
Act, 1956. The maximum amount involved during the year is Rs 120,000,000
and the loan is repaid during the year. In our opinion, the rate of
interest and other terms and conditions on which this loan was taken
are not prima-facie prejudicial to the interest of the Company. The
Company was regular in payment of interest.
The Company has given interest free advance to one its wholly owned
subsidiary company which is covered in the register maintained under
section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. The maximum amount involved
during the year and the year-end balance is Rs 9,384,585. In our
opinion, the terms and conditions on which this loan was granted are
not prima-facie prejudicial to the interest of the Company. In the
opinion of the management the same may not be recoverable and hence the
entire amount has been provided for as on 31 March 2012.
4. In our opinion, there are generally adequate internal control
procedures commensurate with the size of the Company and nature of its
business for purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for sales and
services. During the course of our audit, no major weakness has been
