13. AUDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS:

Clarifications / explanations on the observations made by the Auditor's in the Audit Report are as follows:

As Indian Bank (Lead Bank) had taken the physical possession of the secured assets viz. both the Weaving Unit and Process House under SARFAESI Act and the company was not in possession of the said secured assets throughout the year, interest has not been provided on the outstanding secured loans for the year.

Huge losses and deficit in current assets has been due to very low utilization of production facilities during the past few years which in turn was on account of paucity of working capital. The Management has been trying to get a partner / investor to settle the liabilities of the Lenders and revive the operations. The annual accounts of the Company have been prepared on a Going Concern basis.

Since the notes to the accounts as referred in the Auditors' Report are self explanatory for all other observations of the Auditors, no further clarifications are required from the Management.

2) There was very low utilization of Process House even up to 13th August 2009 mainly due to paucity of working capital.

Indian Bank (Lead Bank) had issued notice dated 16th October 2008 under section 13(2)of The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act 2002(SARFAESI Act, 2002) demanding repayment of the entire loan portfolio, failing which the bank shall exercise its enforcement rights under section 13(4) of the said act against the secured assets of the company. Given the then financial condition of the Company it was not possible for the management to repay the entire loan. As the company was unable to fulfill the conditions given in the said notice the Bank took over symbolic possession of secured assets of the company situated at the Weaving Unit and the Process House on 13th August 2009 and the physical possession on 18th January 2010. The Bank has further placed both the units of the company (Weaving Unit and Process House) under auction for sale.
