M. No. 219427

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 subsequent to the assignment of debts as mentioned above, the effect of 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 Note No.8 (i) of Schedule 15);

(iv) The Company has not provided for interest/ penalties on default of payment of dividend accrued or redemption amount due on Preference Shareholders the effect of which can not be quantified. (Refer Note No. 8 (ii) of schedule 15);

(v) The Company has defaulted in redemption of the Cumulative 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 recoverability of Deferred Tax Asset of Rs. 1,087.31 Lacs based on the revival scheme of the Company, of which Im not in a position to express an opinion on the virtual certainty;

(x) The company has not made any provision for obsolete and non-moving stores, spares, tools & moulds, the effect of which cannot be quantified. (Refer Note No. 16 of Schedule 15) Subject to above and further to my comments in the Annexure referred to in the above paragraph, I report that:

a) I have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of my knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of my audit.

I) regarding non-provisioning of excise duty on finished goods held at factory premises amounting to Rs.8.02 Lacs which is not in compliance with the requirement of AS - 2 "Valuation of Inventories" The non- provisioning has resulted in the understatement of provision and stock to that extent. However the same has no effect on the Profit (Loss) of the period. (Refer Note to Accounts No. 7]

II) regarding non compliance with disclosure requirements of AS-28 "Impairment of Assets".

e) On the basis of written representations received from the directors of the Company and taken on record by the Board of Directors, I report that none of the directors of the Company is disqualified from being appointed as director under Section 274 (1)(g) of the Companies Act, 1956 except in case of Mr.Prashant Somani, Director who has been appointed as a director in a sick industrial Company registered with the BIFR under the Provisions of the SICA, 1981 and whose application for exemption from the provisions of section 274(1)(g) is pending for consideration before BIFR.
