We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Indu Nissan
Oxo Chemicals Industries Limited as at 31st March 2014, which comprise
of the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, and the Statement of Profit
and Loss, and Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on
that date annexed thereto, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
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 and
financial performance in accordance with the Accounting Standards
referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act,
1956. 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.
Auditor''s 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 auditor''s 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 auditor
considers 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, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. 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
Basis for Qualified Opinion
(a) Attention is invited to sub-note No. 2 (d) of Note No. 29. The
Company has defaulted in redemption of Debentures, which fell due on
the 10th of July, 1998 aggregating to Rs.550.18 Lac and the amount of
interest including penal interest calculated at simple rests accrued as
of 31st March, 2013 is Rs.1422.04 Lac of which the Company was
unilaterally written back interest element of RS. 1334.01 Lac
mentioning that it is in process of negotiating with debenture holders
as to the repayment of dues, and the Company does not anticipate any
interest payment, and the same has been treated by the Company as other
revenues. The Company has reached to settlement with the debenture
holders post year end. The debenture holders have agreed to settle the
amount payable @ 30% of principal amount outstanding subject to certain
terms and conditions. The Company is in process of liquidating some of
its assets and pay off the debenture holders. In case the Company is
not able to pay the settled amount within stipulated period, the
settlement may be cancelled by the debenture holders. The Company has
approached BIFR for the permission to sell the assets, and is confident
of getting the permission. The Company in anticipation of liquidating
the assets and paying off the debenture holders has written back the
balance amount not payable to capital reserve. Since the event in
opinion of Company, is occurring after the balance sheet date that
requires adjustment to the amount payable on balance sheet date, this
adjustment is carried out. The Company, following to settlement, does
not anticipate additional interest liability as demanded by the
debenture holders due to which Company has not provided interest for
the current year as well as company has written back the interest of
RS. 133,401,338 provided in the earlier years. We are unable to form
our opinion on this as the entire matter is contingent and subject to
approval of BIFR for sale of assets, and further the Company is able to
sell the assets post such approval in open market and fetch necessary
amount to pay off the debenture holders, but for which entire
settlement may get cancelled.
(b) Attention is invited to sub-note No. 6 of Note No. 29 - Other Notes
to Accounts regarding confirmation of account of various parties, the
balances have been taken as per books of account. We in the absence of
confirmations are unable to ascertain the nature of adjustments that
may be required in respect of various accounts and the resultant
effects thereof on the accounts.
(c) Attention is invited to sub-note no. 2 (a) of Note No. 29 - Other
Notes to Accounts. In respect of Inter Corporate Deposits received from
Himalaya Machinery Limited. the Company had based on legal opinion,
written back interest amounting to Rs. 23.43 Lac during the financial
year ended 31st March 2002. Further the Company has not provided any
interest for the period 1.10.2000 to 31.03.2014 the interest of which
works out to Rs. 156.87 Lac calculated at simple rests @27%. Including
current year''s interest of Rs. 11.64 Lac.
(d) Provision for Gratuity payable to employees has been made only up
to 31st March. 2006 based on management estimates. Provision for
gratuity and retirement benefits for the current year has not been
made. In the absence of any actuarial valuation we are unable to
quantify the impact of the same on the Statement of Profit and Loss.
This practice of the Company is not in conformity with the AS-15.
Attention is invited to sub-note no. 2 (h) of Note No. 29 as regards
the decision of hon''ble Labour Court directing the Company to pay a sum
of RS. 1299.61 Lac towards labour payments. The Company has filed
miscellaneous application before the hon''ble Court for review instead
of filing further appeal. Considering the significance of amount, we
are not able to form our opinion in this regard.
(e) Attention is invited to sub-note no. 2 (b) of Note No. 29 of Other
Notes to Accounts. Based on management''s perception, the Company had
written back Interest accrued on Working Capital Loans amounting to Rs
493 Lac during preceding financial years. We are informed that, the
management is in negotiation with the bankers as regards repayment of
the working capital loans at a reduced principal amount and no
interest. However, no finality has been reached as to reduced payment
of loan or for that matter, non payment of interest. No provision for
interest payable on this account is made during the year, which the
Company otherwise used to provide every year amounting to Rs. 52.98 Lac
up to March 31. 2010 on an estimated basis. This year, no amount has
been quantified by the management as not provided. In absence of any
supporting evidence available or for that matter any confirmation from
the bankers, we are unable to express our opinion on this item;
(f) Attention is invited to Note no. 7 (d) of Notes to Accounts. Based
on management''s perception, the Company has not provided for interest
on term loan payable to Kotak Mahindra Bank. We are explained by the
management that, it is in negotiation with the bankers as regards
repayment of the term loan at a reduced amount than what has been
standing to the credit of bankers, although no tangible and
convenincing correspondence was made available to us. No finality has
been reached as to reduced payment of loan as stated above. No
provision for interest payable on this account is made during the year,
which the Company otherwise used to provide every year amounting to Rs.
112.88 Lac up to March 31, 2011 on an estimated basis. This apart,
interest provided uptill earlier years is shown as payable unlike
writing back the same in lines with other bank and debentures. This
year, no amount has been quantified by the management as not provided.
In absence of any supporting evidence available or for that matter any
confirmation from the bankers, we are unable to express our opinion on
this item;
(g) in absence of confirmations from creditors, especially secured
creditors, we are unable to opine on the outstanding balances shown in
accounts including interest provided and payable thereon. Similarly,
the creditors written back amounting to RS. 1.82 Lac and shown as
income are all based on the management''s perception, and no tangible
evidence was placed for our verification;
(h) The Company has not carried out physical verification of closing
stock of Rs. 2.58 Lac, and the valuation is based on management''s
estimates, and no evidence of physical availability of stock was
provided to us. As regards cash in hand of RS. 6.31 Lac, we are
informed that, the same is in possession of the Managing Director. In
view of this, closing stock of RS. 2.58 Lac and cash in hand of Rs.
6.31 Lac are accepted as certified by the management;
(i) the combined effect of the above qualifications over financial
results is not determinable in view of absence of relevant components
and information from the management.
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
statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(i) in case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31st March 2014;
(ii) in case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the
Company for the year ended on that date.

the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
(a) Attention is invited to sub-note no. 2 (c) of Note No. 29 - Other
Notes to Accounts. The Custom department had imposed penalty of Rs.
1000 Lac on the Company.
which was disputed by the Company. On appeal before CESTAT, the said
penalty was reduced to Rs. 700 Lac vide order dated March 31, 2011,
Subsequently CESTAT removed the penalty levied by the department. At
Present department is in appeal before Hone''ble High Court of Gujarat
and hence no provision for this liability is made in the accounts,
contending this being contingent liability. Our opinion is not
qualified in respect of this matter.
(b) Attention is invited to sub-note no. 2 (e) of Note No. 29 - Other
Notes to Accounts. Amount receivable from RSEB (Rajasthan State
Electricity Board) in respect of Assets given on Lease is shown at
Rs.412.19 Lac against security deposit received from RSEB of Rs.653.09
Lac. We have been informed that Company has filed a suit against RSEB
before Rajasthan High Court for the recovery of Rs.964.92 Lac inclusive

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of M/s. INDU NISSAN OXO
CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED, as at 31" March, 2010 and also the Profit
and Loss Account for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
1. As required by Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 issued by
Central Govt. of India, in terms of Sub section (4A) of Section 227 of
the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the annexure a statement on the

best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our
audit.

been kept by the company so far as appears from our examination of
those books.
c) The Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow
statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
accounts of the Company.

due on the 10th of July, 1998 aggregating to Rs.552.07 lacs and the
amount of interest accrued as of 31" March, 2010 is Rs.1249.92 lacs,
thereby, the directors of the company are disqualified from being
appointed as director under clause (g) of sub section 1 of section 274
of the Companies Act, 1956.
f) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the said Accounts subject to and read
together with the notes thereon, and further subject to the following
and matters referred to in annexure 1 attached hereto :
1) Reference is invited to Note No.7 Regarding confirmation of
accounts, the balances have been taken as per books of accounts. We in
the absence of confirmations are unable to ascertain the nature of
adjustment that may be required in respect of various accounts and the
resultant effects thereof on the accounts.
2) The custom department has imposed penalty of Rs.1000 Lakhs on the
company, which has been disputed by the company and appeal for the same
is pending before the CESTAT. The company should have provided for the
liability amounting to Rs.1000 lakhs. Had the provision for custom duty
liability been made in earlier year, debit balance in profit & loss
account would
have been higher by Rs. 1000 Lakhs. [Refer para.3 clause (k), of
Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to the Accounts]
3) Net amount receivable from RSEB (Rajasthan State Electricity Board)
in respect of Asset given on Lease is shown at Rs.412.19 lacs. However,
in the absence of confirmation from RSEB, we are unable to ascertain
and opine as regards to the actual amount recoverable from RSEB.
However we have been informed that company has filed a suit against
RSEB before Rajasthan High Court for the recovery of Rs.964.92lacs
inclusive of interest @ 20% after making adjustment of DPA (Deferred
Payment Agreement). [Refer para.2, clause (e), sub clause (ii) of
Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to the Accounts]
4 i) In respect of Inter Corporate Deposits received from Himalaya
Machinery Limited, the company based on legal opinion had written back
interest amounting to Rs. 23.43 during the financial year ended 31"
March, 02 due to which debit balance in profit and loss ale is lower by
Rs.23.43 lacs. Further the company has not provided any interest for
the period 1.10.2000 to 31.03.2010.
ii) The company has not provided any interest during the current period
although the agreement requires provision of interest @ 21% p.a. which
amounts to Rs.9.03 lacs. The profit for the current year would have
been lower by Rs.9.03 lacs had the interest been provided.
Hi) The combined effect of the above results in the reduction of debit
balance in Profit and Loss
a/c by Rs.263.61lacs. [Refer Para. 3(b) of the Significant Accounting
Policies and Notes to Accounts]
5) Provision for Gratuity has been made only upto 31st March, 2006

benefits for the current year has not been made. In the absence of any
