Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the
provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and
matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the

that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit

Alappuzha: 22nd November 2012
Sep 30, 2010
1. I have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Excel Glasses Limited
(The Company), having its registered office situated at Udayanagar,
Pathirapally, Alappuzha - 688 521 (Kerala State), as at 30th September
2010 and the Profit and loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for
the year ended on that date, annexed thereto. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on my audit.
2. I have conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that I 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, evidences 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for
my opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, (as
amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub
section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 of India (the
"Act") and on the basis of such checks of the books and records of the
Company, as I have considered appropriate, and on the basis of the
information and explanations given to me during the course of my audit,
I have given in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in
paragraph 4 and 5 of the said order.
4. I further state that:
(i) The Company has become a potential Sick Industrial Company within
the meaning of Section 23 (1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special
Provisions) Act, 1985 as the accumulated losses of the Company have
resulted into erosion of more than fifty percent of its net worth
during the immediately preceding four financial years. However, the
accounts have been prepared on a "going concern basis". The management
expects certain concessions / waiver from the secured lenders upon
settlements /Government of Kerala necessary for the proposed revival of
the Unit. This being a technical matter and the extent of the
concessions/waivers not exactly known as of now, I am unable to express
an opinion thereof. However, should the Company be unable to continue
as a Going Concern, the extent of the effect of the resultant
adjustment on the net worth of the Company as at the balance sheet date
and Profits of the year, as explained by the management, is presently
not ascertainable;. (Refer Note No.5 in Schedule 15);
(ii) Attention is invited to Notes No. 10 (a) & (b), of Schedule 15
regarding disclosure of assignment of Company debts by Public Financial
Institutions.
The Company has not provided for interest/ penalties on term debts

which can not be quantified as on Balance Sheet date. (Refer Note No.
10 in schedule 15);
(iii) The Company has not provided for accrued dividend of Rs.792.58
Lacs on Cumulative Redeemable. Preference Shares, which has resulted
into understatement of liability and losses to that extent. (Refer

payment of dividend accrued or redemption amount due on Preference
Shareholders the effect of which can not be quantified. (Refer Note No.

Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs.952.72 Lacs, which is in violation
of the provisions of the Section 80 of the Companies Act, 1956. (Refer
Note No.8 (Hi) in Schedule 15);
(vi) During the Year, the Company has changed the accounting policy in
respect of Gratuity from cash basis to accrual basis. Accordingly, the
Company has made provision for gratuity liability accrued of Rs.289.37
Lacs (including Rs.272.06 Lacs accrued for the previous accounting
periods);
(vii) One of the Creditors has filed a voluntary winding up petition
u/s. 433 r.w.s 434 of Companies Act, 1956 before Honble High Court of
Kerala for recovery of their dues. Any adverse decree /order by the
Honble High Court of Kerala against the Company may affect the going
concern concept adopted by the Company. Accordingly, it may affect the
financial statement for the reporting period and my opinion exposed
here;;
(viii) Attention is invited to Notes No.3 of Schedule 15 regarding
non-disclosure of amount payable to Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises;
(ix) Attention is invited to Note No. 14 of Schedule 15 regarding the

"Impairment of Assets".
