Companies Act, 1956, on the accounts of the company, the above Audit
Report Dated 13.07.2012 is revised by modifying sub Paras 1(d) &
1(f)(V). This report is in substitution of our earlier report dated
13.07.2012.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company''s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Financial Statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Audit 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
Statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
I. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003, issued
by the Central Government of India in terms of subsection (4A) of
section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure here
to a statement of the matters specified in paragraphs 4 & 5 of the said
Order.
II. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph I
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 and Loss and the Cash Flow
Statements dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
accounts.
(d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and
the Cash Flow Statement dealt with this report comply with the
Accounting Standards referred to in subsection (3C) of Section 211 of
the Companies Act. 1956, except AS – 6, AS- 15 & AS – 29.
(e) As per the Notification No. GSR. 829 (e) dated 21.10.2003 issued by
the Central Government clause(G) of sub-section(1) of Section 274 of
the Companies Act, 1956, is not applicable to the Government Company
and hence we offer no comment as to whether any of the Directors are
disqualified from being appointed as the Directors in terms of the said
section.
(f) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the said accounts read together with the
Significant Accounting Policies and Notes thereon, subject to following
qualifications;
(I) The Company had incurred Rs.284.14 lakhs and Rs. 17.83 lakhs as
refurbishment expenditure on Plant & Machinery during the Financial
Year 2008-09 & 2009-10 respectively. As per the guidelines laid down in
scheme of BIFR, Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (MDRS), it has
been stipulated that this sum shall be written off in 5 equal annual
installments. Accordingly, during the current financial year, a sum of
the Rs.61.49 lakhs has been written off on pro – rata basis. This
accounting treatment is a deviation from Accounting Standard ( AS-6)
issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and
incorporated as a mandatory accounting standard in Section 211(3C) of
the Companies Act 1956;
(II) An amount of Rs.223.57 lakhs was incurred towards VRS payments for

pro-rata basis. Accordingly, the balance of Rs.37.27 Lakhs has been
amortized/written off during the year to Statement of profit & loss.
This is in accordance with BIFR''s Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme
(MDRS). However, the aforesaid accounting treatment is a deviation from

Accountants of India (ICAI) and incorporated as a mandatory accounting
standard in Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act;
(III) The arrears payable on account of pay fixation in the revised

that date has not been charged to profit and loss account on account of
categorically stipulation made under the scheme that arrears are to be
