| Auditor's Report | Year End : Mar '08 |
1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Spicejet Limited,
(the Company) as at March 31,2008, and also the Profit and Loss
Account and 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 Companys
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 (Auditors 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 Note 5 in
Schedule XVII to the financial statements which indicate that the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations with net loss for
the year ended March 31, 2008, without considering the impact of the
matters mentioned in paragraph 5 below, amounting to Rs. 1,335.07
million, and as of that date, the Companys accumulated losses amounted
to Rs. 5,074.52 million, as against the Companys share capital and
reserves of Rs. 5,354.33 million. Also, as discussed in Note 3 in
Schedule XVII to the financial statements, realization of the carrying
amount of certain receivable amounting to Rs. 68.82 million and
dismissal of interest liability amounting to Rs. 240.95 million is
dependent upon the success of the claims filed by the Company against
some of the erstwhile directors and employees. These conditions raise
significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 5. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties and also do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the
amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
5. We report that:
a. As more fully explained in the note 3.1 of Schedule XVII to the
financial statements, an amount of Rs. 360 million, given as security
deposit towards lease of a property, is carried as recoverable under
the head Loans and advances of which an amount of Rs. 26.82 million
appears to be doubtful for recovery. The Company has not made provision
for this doubtful amount in the financial statements.
b. As more fully explained in the note 3.3 of Schedule XVII to the
financial statements, the Company has not accrued interest in respect
of outstanding inter corporate deposits of Rs. 100 million which as at
March 31, 2008 amounts to Rs. 240.95 million.
c. As more fully explained in the note 3.5 and 3.7 of Schedule XVII to
the financial statements, Loans and advances includes an amount of Rs.
36.10 million which represents net impact of unsupported deposits to,
and withdrawals from, the bank accounts which were operated by some of
the erstwhile Director (s) and/ or some ex-employees of the Company. In
the absence of supporting documents/ information, this amount appears
to be doubtful for recovery for which no provision has been made in the
financial statements.
d. As more fully explained in the note 3.6 of Schedule XVII to the
financial statements, balance in Sundry debtors as at March 31, 2008
includes Rs. 5.90 million recoverable from parties in which the
erstwhile promoters are interested. The Company has not created any
provision against this balance though the recovery of this amount
appears to be doubtful considering the various pending litigations with
erstwhile promoters.
We further report that had the observations made by us in paragraphs 5
a, b, c and d above been considered, the net loss for the period would
have been Rs. 1,644.84 million (as against the reported net loss of Rs.
1,335.07 million), accumulated losses would have been Rs. 5,384.29
million (as against the reported figure of Rs. 5,074.52 million), loans
and advances would have been Rs. 1,699.17 million (as against the
reported figure of Rs. 1,762.09 million), sundry debtors would have
been Rs. 9.64 million (as against the reported figure of Rs. 15.54
million) and current liabilities would have been Rs. 7,457.59 million
(as against the reported figure of Rs. 7,216.64 million).
6. 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; except to the extent stated in paragraph 5(c) above regarding
unsupported bank transactions;
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 financial statements dealt with by this report are in agreement
with the books of account;
d. On the basis of written representations received from six out of
nine directors, as on March 31, 2008 and taken on record by the Board
of Directors, we report that none of those six directors is
disqualified as on March 31,2008 from being appointed as a director in
terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Act. In
respect of one of the director who has not provided written
representation, based on our review of other evidences provided by the
Company and the concerned director, we are of the opinion that he is
not disqualified from being appointed as a director in terms of clause
(g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Act. In respect of
remaining two directors, in the absence of written representation to
the Company as on March 31, 2008, we are unable to comment whether they
are disqualified as on March 31, 2008 from being appointed as a
director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of
the Act;
e. Subject to our comments in paragraph 5 above, in our opinion and to
the best of our information and according to the explanations given to
us, the financial statements dealt with by this report comply with the
accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of
the Act and the Rules framed there under and 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, in the case of:
i) the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
March 31,2008; ii) the Profit and Loss Account, of the loss for the
year ended on that date; and iii) the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash
flows for the year ended on that date.
