1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Cals Refineries
Limited, (the ''Company'') as at March 31, 2011, and also the Cash Flow
Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto (collectively
referred as the ''financial statements''). 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 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 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 required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (the
''Order'') (as amended), issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956
(the ''Act''), we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters
specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to:
a) Note 1 of Schedule 11 to the financial statements which indicates
the existence of significant uncertainty about the Company''s ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company''s ability to continue as a
going concern is significantly dependent on its ability to successfully
arrange the balance funding and achieve financial closure to fund its
refinery project.
b) Note 2 of Schedule 11 to the financial statements. In view of the
mutual non- fulfillment of contractual obligations arising out of the
Company''s contracts with certain suppliers/contractors, the Company has
not accrued liability amounting to Rs. 5,361,960,970. The ultimate
performance of such contractual obligations and their impact on current
liabilities cannot presently be determined and no adjustment that may
result has been made in the financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2011. Our opinion on financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2010 included an emphasis on the same matter and such items
aggregated to Rs. 5,153,656,980 as on March 31, 2010.
c) Note 2 of Schedule 11 to the financial statements which indicates
that the Company is in the process of negotiating an extension from the
supplier for compliance of terms related to supply of plant and
machinery and certain process units in respect of its refinery project.
The Company has given advances amounting to Rs. 3,355,930,000 to such
supplier in terms of the agreement executed by the Company for the said
supply which will not be recoverable if the necessary extension is not
granted by the supplier. In view of the ongoing negotiations with the
supplier as mentioned above, the ultimate performance of the
contractual obligations under the said agreement cannot presently be
determined and no adjustment with respect to this advance, that may
result, has been made in the financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2011.
d) Note 2 of Schedule 11 to the financial statements. The Company has
given advances amounting to Rs. 311,400,048 to various
suppliers/contractors in terms of the agreements executed by the
Company for the implementation of its refinery project. Such advances
may not be recoverable in the event of non-fulfillment of the
contractual obligations by the Company. The ability of the Company to
fulfill its contractual obligations cannot presently be determined and
no adjustment with respect to such advances, that may result, has been
made in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011.
Our opinion on financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010
included an emphasis on the same matter and such items aggregated to
Rs. 8,360,400,558 as on March 31, 2010.
5. As more fully explained in Note 13 of Schedule 11 to the financial
statements, the Company has derecognized the provision for income-tax,
service tax payable and tax deducted at source payable amounting to Rs.
56,165,790, Rs. 5,437,653 and Rs. 6,001,848 respectively and has not
accrued interest for non-payment of tax deducted at source and income
tax amounting to Rs. 218,407 and Rs. 2,389,182 respectively. In our
opinion, these amounts should have been recognised as liabilities in
the financial statements.
6. As more fully explained in Note 18 of Schedule 11 to the financial
statements, the Company has included the exchange differences arising
on reporting monetary assets and liabilities at closing rate, interest
on outstanding statutory dues and certain indirect expenses not
directly attributable to construction up to the year ended March 31,
2011 aggregating to Rs. 837,817,270 in the carrying amount of capital
work in progress. In our opinion, these items are revenue in nature and
accordingly should be recognized in the Profit and Loss Account. Our
audit opinion on financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010
was qualified on the same matter and such items aggregated to Rs.
814,931,602 up to the year ended March 31, 2010.
We further report that had the observations made by us in paragraph 5
and 6 above been considered, the net profit after tax for the year
ended March 31, 2011 would have increased by Rs. 547,062,100 and the
net profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2010 would have
increased by Rs. 502,958,525, reserves and surplus as of March 31, 2011
would have increased by Rs.614,528,840 and reserves and surplus as of
March 31, 2010 would have increased by Rs.570,425,264, capital work in
progress as of March 31, 2011 would have increased by Rs.899,984,884 and
capital work in progress as of March 31, 2010 would have increased by
Rs. 814,931,602, current liabilities as of March 31, 2011 would have
increased by Rs.11,439,501 and current liabilities as of March 31, 2010
would have increased by Rs. Nil, provisions as of March 31, 2011 would
have increased by Rs.346,920,936 and provisions as of March 31, 2010
would have increased by Rs.311,973,077, loans and advances as of March
31, 2011 would have increased by Rs. 5,437,653 and loans and advances
as of March 31, 2010 would have increased by Rs.Nil and earnings per
share for the year ended March 31, 2011 would have increased by Rs.
0.07 and earnings per share for the year ended March 31, 2010 would
have increased by Rs.0.05.
7. Subject to our comments in paragraph 5 and 6 above and 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 purposes of our
audit;
