Auditor's Report (Unimers India) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Unimers India Limited
 as at 31st March, 2011 and the annexed Profit & Loss Account and also
 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.
 
 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 the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
 basis for our opinion.
 
 3.  We draw attention to:
 
 (a) Note no. B1 and B4 of Schedule 14 of Significant Accounting
 Policies and Notes on Financial Statements. The Company has incurred
 loss in the current period as well as in the preceding period and the
 accumulated losses as at the period end have exceeded its entire net
 worth and reference has to be made to the Board for Industrial and
 Financial Reconstruction. However, as per expert opinion obtained the
 company is not required to make a reference to BIFR.  Besides, plant
 operations were suspended since October, 2007 and thereafter formally
 closed and workers retrenched effective from 26th June, 2008. These
 financial statements have, however, been prepared by the management on
 a going concern basis, considering the various revival/restructuring
 options being actively pursued by the management. This being a
 technical matter and in view of uncertainty, we are unable to express
 an opinion as to whether the Company can now operate as a going
 concern. However, as explained, should the Company be unable to
 continue as a going concern, the extent of the effect of the resultant
 adjustments to the accumulated losses, assets and liabilities as at the
 year end and loss for the year is presently not ascertainable.
 
 (b) The Company has not carried out impairment test as required by
 Accounting Standard (AS) 28 ''Impairment of Assets'', particularly in
 respect of Building and Plant & Machinery as explained in note A5 of
 Schedule 14 of Significant Accounting Policies and Notes on Financial
 Statements. We are unable to express an opinion as to when and to what
 extent the carrying value of Building and Plant & Machinery would be
 recovered in view of the suspension of all manufacturing activities,
 the impact whereof on the loss for the period, accumulated losses,
 assets and liabilities as at the period end is presently, not
 ascertainable.
 
 (c) Note no. B 8(b) of Schedule 14 of the financial statements
 regarding the accounts of certain Creditors of Rs.31,557,964, Bank
 balances (Dr) of Rs.167,192 and Loans and advances recoverable of Rs.
 4,883,983 being subject to confirmations, reconciliations, and
 adjustments, if any, having consequential impact on the loss for the
 year, assets, liabilities and accumulated losses as at the close of the
 year, the amounts of adjustment if any, are presently not ascertainable
 and therefore not provided for.
 
 (d) Exceptional item of Rs.23,611,485 represents amount payable to
 Union covered workers (Net of already provided Rs.120 Lacs in the
 year 2008-09). This amount was due to be paid by 31st March, 2011 but
 could not be paid because of financial stringencies. Consequently
 further liability, if any, in this regard has not been provided for,
 amount being unascertainable, as explained.
 
 (e) Note no. B 15 of Schedule 14 regarding Company having not deposited
 long outstanding amount of Rs.16,469,354 to the Investor Education &
 Protection Fund and consequential liability of interest / other charges
 on the same.
 
 (f) Further, we are unable to express an opinion as to when and what
 extent the carrying value of Raw Material of Rs.1,360,944 Stores and
 Spares of Rs 8,940,526 would be recover in view of the suspension of
 production in October, 2007 and deterioration of quality, if any.
 
 (g) (i) Note no. B9 (a) of Schedule 14 of the said Schedule regarding
 recognition of deferred tax asset of Rs.266,117,387 on the basis that
 there would be sufficient future income. However, in our opinion there
 is no virtual certainty of future profitability and therefore deferred
 tax asset recognized should be reversed.
 
 (ii) Note no. B 4(b) of Schedule 15 of the financial statements
 regarding non-provision of interest liability aggregating to Rs.
 31,756,177 on assigned loans and debentures on the basis that the
 management is expecting waiver thereof.
 
 4.  We further report that, without considering matters mentioned in
 Para 3(a) to (f) above, the effect of which could not be determined,
 had the observation made by us in Para 3(g) above been considered the
 loss for the year would have been Rs.414,255,291 (as against the
 reported figure of Rs.116,381,727), accumulated losses would have been
 Rs.826,410,235 (as against the reported figure of Rs.528,536,671) and
 secured loans would have been Rs.613,323,008 (as against the reported
 figure of Rs.581,566,831).
