Proprietor,

Mar 31, 2009
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of MSL INDUSTRIES LIMITED as
at 31st Maroh, 2009, Profit & Loss Aooount and also the Cash Flow
Statement for the Year ended on that date annexed thereto (in whioh are
incorporated accounts of the companys Polymer Division in Surajpur,
UP. audited by the Branch Auditor) and the accounts of Steel & Hightech
Division atPatna, Bihar and Kolkata Office audited by us. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Commpanys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
finanoial statements based on our audit.
We have conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 exam- ining, on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures, in the finanoial statements. An audit also inoludes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, as amended
by the Companies (Auditors Report) (Amendment) Order, 2004, is- sued
by the Central Government of India in terms of Sub-Section (4A) of
Seotion 227 of the Companies Aot,1956 and on the basis of such checks
as we considered appropirate and acording to the information and
explanations given to us and as reported by the Banoh Auditor, we set
out. in the annexure a statement on the matters specified in
paragraphs 4 & 5 of the said order.
We Report that : -
i) As reported by us in earlier years Audit Reports, movable & immov-
able assets of Steel Unit and High-Tech Steel Unit at Patna were taken
over by ARCIL under SARFAEST Act,2002. It has now been reported by the
ARCIL that they have since sold all Stock-in-Trade and all immovable
assets of the said units at Patna for an amount of Rs.1039.89 Lac
Similarly, as reported by the BSFC & BICICO, who were also the secured
creditors of the Company, have sold their respective assets mortaaged
in their favour for an amount of Rs.20,00 Lac & Rs.10.01 Lac
respectively Thus the total amount so realized by the aforesaid
institutions agregating to Rs.1069.90 Lac. have been deducted from the
total amount of Secured Credi- tors in absence of any information from
ARCIL about the distribu tion of the sale proceeds amongst the secured
creditors namely ICICI, IDBI & SBI as reported by the Company in Para
6A in Schedule 17. In view of the above, the net book value of all
fixed assets of the units at Patna and net book value of stock-in-trade
of the said units were written off. Provisions made by the Company on
account of "Impairment in value of Fixed Assets" and on ac- count of
"Diminution in the value of Stock-in-Trade" were written back in the
Profit & Loss Account as reported in para 6(a) in Sched- ule 17. It has
also been reported by the Company that the adjust- ment of the Sale
Proceeds with the secured creditors of the Units at Patna in full &
final settlement of their dues are pending due to non- receipts of
information from the ARCIL as well as from ICICI Bank, IDBI & SBI and
also from BICICO & BSFC .
ii) The ARCIL has also taken over the Hind Polymer Unit of the
company at Gaziabad but not yet reported about the sale porceeds in
respect thereof. Hence, assets and liabilities of the Polymer unit have
been shown at their book value as reported by the branch Auditor.
iii) The ARCIL also took over certain Investment in Shares but they
have not yet reported the amount realised by sale of such shares. In
view of the above, profit &/or loss on sale of such Investment in
Shares whether Long Term &/or Short Term has not yet been arrived at
and not provided for &/or adjusted in the books of account. Investment
in Shares includes such shares taken over by ARCIL
iv) During the year under Audit the Company has written off certain
debtors and written back certain creditors of the said units at Patna
who were having balances of Rupees less than I Lac. The Company has
also made provisions for certain debtors of the said Units at Patna not
written off. We are of the view that the Company should have write off
all debtors and write back all creditors of the said units at Patna
leaving only those debtors & creditors which are sub- judice. The
company has not explained the reasons for not written off and writing
back all the debtors and creditors except those are sub-judice which
are all lying outstanding since the factory was closed from 1.04.2001.
v) Miscllaneous Bank Balances shown for both Units at Patna totalling
fts.6.15 Lac(excluding unclaimed dividend/interest not released by
State Bank of India on the ground that the matter is sub-judice as
stated in Note No. 10 in Schedule 17 lying for many years, since the
plant was closed,1 the Company has not yet been able to produce before
us, certificates confirming the balances or the State- ment of Accounts
from the respective banks. Hence, we do not express any opinion on the
correctness of the figure shown in the Balance Sheet
vi) The ARCIL has not informed the company, at the same time the
company has also not communicated with ARCIL, how much amount they have
paid to ICICI Bank, IDBI & SBI at whose instances, they took over the
stock in-trade and fixed assets of both the units at Patna. If the
amount paid to the said Institutions is in full and final settlement of
their dues in that case, therewill be seizable amount of write back in
the P & L A/c. for interest as well as for the principal amount of
loan- The adjustment in respect of the same has to be done in the
accounts for the year ended 31.03.2010.
vii) As reported by the Company in Para 5A in Schedule 17 and also as
reported by the Branch Auditor in the accounts of the Units, the Units
did not initiate any recovery proceedings against any of the debtors or
taken any positive actions for realization of the dues in
both the units at Pafna. Similarly, it has also been reported that
Units did not receive any confirmation for the accuracy of the
Balances. It has also been reported that the units did not receive any
confirmation from any of the Bank of the Units regarding balance
standing to the debit or credit in the accounts of the Units, Under
such circumstances, in our view, the company should write off all
outstanding balance standing in the books of accounts of the Units at
Patna in their Bank Accounts or obtain Bank balance certifi- cates and
statement of accounts from such banks and prepare and submit bill wise
details of Sundry Debtors and Sundery Creditors.
