-0.32 (-4.92%)| Auditor's Report (Alumeco India Extrusion) | Year End : Jun '12 |
1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Alumeco India
Extrusion Limited (the Company) as at 30 June 2012, the Statement of
Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that
date, annexed thereto. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company''s Management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. 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.
3. As more fully explained in Note 2.24 of the financial statements,
the Company has accumulated losses of Rs.197,852,028 as at 30 June 2012
which have exceeded the paid up capital and reserves (Rs.160,522,805) of
the Company at that date. Also, the Company had made a reference to the
Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in terms of
Section 15(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions)
Act, 1985 and had been declared sick on 9 February 2010. It is
currently in the process of working out a rehabilitation scheme with
the BIFR.
Considering the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2012,
there exists uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern. However, based on its ongoing efforts to
improve the performance, management believes that the Company will be
able to generate cash flows sufficient to meet its liabilities in the
near future. Accordingly, the financial statements for the year ended
30 June 2012 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts, or, to amounts or
classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern.
4. As more fully explained in Note 2.40 of the financial statements,
during the year ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011, the Company has
accrued for managerial remuneration, which exceeds the limits specified
in Schedule XIII to the Companies Act, 1956 (''the Act'')to the extent of
Rs. 9,083 and Rs.143,856 respectively. The Company has applied for Central
Government of India''s approval for the same, which is pending as at the
date of our report. Pending the receipt of such an approval, such
excess remuneration has not been paid.
5. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (the
Order), as amended, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in
terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Act, we enclose in the
Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of
the said Order.

statements for the year ended 30 June 2012. We report that:
(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets.
(b) The Company has a regular programme of physical verification of its
fixed assets by which all fixed assets are verified annually. In our

regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. In
accordance with the programme, all fixed assets were physically
verified during the year. No material discrepancies were noticed on
such verification.
(c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial, and
therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.

verified by the Management during the year. In our opinion, the
frequency of such verification is reasonable.

followed by the Management are reasonable and adequate in relation to
the size of the Company and the nature of its business.

discrepancies noticed on verification between the physical stocks and
the book records were not material.
