0.35 (1.39%) | Auditor's Report (Ansal Properties & Infrastructure) | Year End : Mar '12 |
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Ansal Properties &
Infrastructure Limited as at March 31, 2012 and also the Statement of
Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company 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.
We have 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 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
(collectively the Order) issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of Section 227 (4A) of the Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis
of such checks as we considered appropriate and according to the
information and explanations given to us, we enclose in the Annexure a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
Order.
Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report
that:
a) We have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the
best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purpose of our
audit;
b) In our opinion, proper books of account, as required by law, have
been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of
those books;
c) The Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit & Loss and Cash Flow
Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
account;
d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit & Loss and
Cash Flow Statement, dealt with by this report, comply with the
Accounting Standards referred to in sub - section (3C) of Section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956.
e) On the basis of written representations received from the directors
as on March 31, 2012 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
report that none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2012
from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of sub
section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956.
f) Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to:
i. Note No. 30 wherein the Company has claimed exemption of Rs. 3448
lacs in earlier years under section 80 lA of the Income Tax Act, 1961
being tax profits arising out of sale of Industrial Park units, pending
the notification of the same by Central Board of Direct Taxes. Further
the company has taken opinion from a senior counsel that its
application satisfies all the conditions specified in the said Scheme
of Industrial Park. We have relied on management contention. However,
no exemption is claimed during the current year as there are no sales
of industrial park units.
ii. Note No. 32(b) wherein the Company is carrying project inventory
of Rs. 16833 lacs for one of its Group Housing projects. The company
had applied to the Authority for developing the project on the basis of
revised Scheme announced by the Authority for which approval has been
received envisaging developing the project on a smaller piece of land
equivalent to the amount paid and surrender balance project land
subject to certain conditions. Pending final decision of the Authority
in the matter, the management is of the view that there is no
impairment in the value of land/ project and we have relied on
management contention.
iii. Note No. 32(a) wherein the Company has given advances to land
owning companies / collaborators I others for purchase / aggregation of
land / for others to the tune of Rs.13707 lacs. This includes Rs.
10000 lacs as security deposits, the recoverability / adjustment of
which is dependent upon the future events such as launch of project(s)
for which steps have been or are being taken by the Company. As regards
the balance amount of Rs.3707 lacs, pending details of land purchased
and financial position of these parties, we understand from management
that these advances are given in respect of on going transactions with
collaborators / other parties and are regarded as being in the normal
course of business. We have relied on management contention.
g) The Company has not considered for the estimated borrowing costs to
be incurred in future in general for determining the project revenues,
project inventory and debtors. According to the management the amount
of these items cannot be determined at this stage, and therefore, we
are unable to comment on the consequential impact thereof on the
carrying value of project inventory, revenue recognition and
outstanding debtors and other adjustments that may be necessitated on
this account in the financial statements.
h) The Company had, during the year ended March 31, 2010, changed its
accounting policy in respect of accounting for certain costs in the
nature of administration and selling costs by charging them off to
Profit & Loss against the earlier policy of treating them as part of
project cost for determining project inventory, revenue and debtors.
Expenditure of such nature incurred in earlier years and considered as
part of project inventories under Projects/ Contract work in progress
upto March 31, 2009 has been carried forward as such. Such amount has
not been determined by the management in view of the practical
difficulties involved, as explained. In the absence of availability of
these amounts relating to the period upto March 31, 2009, we are unable
to comment on the impact thereof on the carrying value of project
inventories, revenue recognition and outstanding debtors and other
adjustments that may be required in the financial statements.
Subject to that stated in clause g) and h) above having its impact as
aforesaid, in our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts read with
the Accounting policies and Notes thereon 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:
a) In the case of Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at March 31,2012;
b) In the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the Profit for the
year ended on that date; and
c) In the case of Cash Flow Statement, of the Cash flows for the year
ended on that date.

& Infrastructure Limited
1. a. The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets.

verified by the management. However, discrepancies noticed during
physical verification have been recorded and accounted for in the books
of account to the extent of verification carried out.

by the management are, in our opinion, reasonable and adequate in
relation to the size of the Company and nature of its business.

generally accepted auditing practices in India, we have neither come
across nor have we been informed of any instance of major weaknesses in

qualify for sale of goods. However, the internal control systems with

collaborators/ associates/ others need improvement.

prices are available.
