We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BALAJI HOTELS
& ENTERPRISES LTD (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 forthe Financial Statements
The Company''s 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 of India (the "Act")
(which continue 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 Company Affairs). 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 the 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'' judgment, 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 audit opinion.
IV. Basis for Qualified Opinion:
i) The Company has subscribed to 6% Redeemable Preference Shares of a
Corporate in the year 2009 at a cost of Rs. 15 Crores by way of Long
Term Investment and the Investee Company, due to inadequacy of profits,
has not paid dividends since the date of issue. As per its latest
audited financial statements, the Investee Company has ceased to carry
on any meaningful business operations and its outstanding creditors are
substantially higher than its Net worth. As per the indications, the
expected cash flows from the investment are uncertain and in our
opinion, there is a permanent decline in the value of these Long Term
Investments.
As per the Accounting Standard 13 issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India, when there is a decline other than temporary in
the value of any investment, the carrying amount (i. e. cost price) is
to be reduced to recognise the decline. The company has not made any
such provision for permanent decline in the value of investment and it
is a departure from the requirements of the Accounting Standard
referred above. An amount ofRs. 15 Crores would have been required to
write down the investments to the realisable value and accordingly the
investments would have decreased by Rs. 15 Crores and the Shares
holders Funds would have decreased by Rs. 15 Crores.
ii) The Company has borrowed Rs. 15.12 crores at 12% interest per
annum. For its failure to service the loan, the creditor has filed suit
for recovery. The Company has not provided for the annual interest of
Rs. 1.81 Crores and the accumulated interest of Rs. 20.82 Crores.
Non Provision for such an enforceable liability is against fundamental
accounting principle of accrual and prudence. An amount ofRs. 20.82
Crores would have been required to increase the unsecured creditors and
accordingly the unsecured creditors would have increased by Rs. 20.82
Crores, the loss for the year would have been higher by Rs. 1.81 Crores
and the Share holders funds would have decreased by Rs. 20.82 Crores.
V. Qualified Opinion:
In our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the possible effects as described
in ''Basis of Qualified Opinion''paragraph, the accompanying financial
statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the generally
accepted accounting principles in India;
* in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
company as at 31st March 2014;
* in the case ofthe Statement of Profit and Loss, oftheLoss for the
year ended on that date; and
* in the case ofthe Cash Flow Statement, ofthe cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
