1) We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of The Dharamsi Morarji
Chemical Company Limited, as at March 31, 2011 and also the Profit and
Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for the nine months period
(the period) 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 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, as
amended by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) (Amendment) Order, 2004,
issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4-A)
of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
Order.
4) Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph 3
above, we report that:
(I) 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.
(ii) 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.
(iii) The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow
Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
account;
(iv) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and
Cash Flow Statement dealt by this report comply with the accounting
standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the
Companies Act, 1956.
(v) On the basis of written representations received from the directors
as on March 31, 2011 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
report that none of the directors of the Company are disqualified, as
on March 31, 2011 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause
(g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956;
(vi) Attention is invited to Note No.22, regarding preparation of
accounts on a ''Going Concern'' basis despite continued losses and
erosion of total net worth of the Company, in view of the management''s
perceptions and reasons detailed therein.
(vii) The Company had recognized net deferred tax asset in earlier
years aggregating to Rs.2654.15 lacs till 31st March, 2009 considering
unabsorbed loss up to 31st March, 2008 and unabsorbed depreciation up to
31st March, 2009. For the subsequent financial period, further net
deferred tax asset has not been recognized in view of management''s
perceptions and reason detailed in Note No. 16 (b). We are not in a
position to opine on the net deferred tax asset recognized till date as
regards its ultimate realization since the virtual certainty of the
available sufficient future taxable income, as required by Accounting
Standard 22 i.e. ''Accounting for taxes on income'' notified pursuant to
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, could not be
substantiated.
Had the Company not recognized the said net deferred tax asset
aggregating to Rs.2654.15 Lacs, the Accumulated Losses as at the end of
the period would have been higher by Rs.2654.15 Lacs.
(viii) During the period, consequent to the negotiated settlements with
the secured/unsecured lenders of the Company, waived dues representing
only the Principal amount of borrowings aggregating to Rs.3362.76 Lacs
have been credited directly to the ''Capital Reserve'' of the Company for
the reasons detailed in Note No. 14, instead of crediting the same to
the Profit and Loss Account of the period, as per the treatment
recommended by the Expert Advisory Committee of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India, in respect of a similar case. Had this
been credited to the Profit & Loss Account of the period, the Loss for
the period would have been lower by Rs. 3362.76 Lacs and accumulated
losses as at the end of the period would have been lower by a like
amount.
(ix) Had the impact of matters stated at (vii) and (viii) been
considered, Loss for the period ended 31st March, 2011 of Rs.479.53 Lacs
would have been converted into Profit for the period ended 31st March,
2011 of Rs.2883.23 Lacs and accumulated losses as at 31st March, 2011
of Rs.9357.42 Lacs would have been Rs.8648.81 Lacs.
(x) Subject to Clause No.(vii) and (viii)above, in our opinion and to
the best of our information and according to the explanations given to
us, the said accounts give the information required by the Companies
Act, 1956, 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 the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2011 ;
b. in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the Loss for the
period ended on that date; and
c. in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flow for the
period ended on that date.
