Report on the Financial Statements
We were engaged to audit the accompanying financial statements of
Pradip Overseas Limited ("the company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31st March 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes the
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and
for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls
that were operating for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records relevant to the preparation and presentation of the
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on conducting our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing under Section 143(10) of the Act.
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 provisions of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder. Because of the matters described in the Basis for
Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, however, we were not able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit
opinion.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
A. In respect of Trade Receivables amounting to Rs. 930.32 Cr., we have
not received balance confirmations from the debtors. There have been
defaults on the payment obligations by debtors on the due dates. The
Company has created a provision for doubtful debts to the tune of Rs.
262.56 Cr. during the reporting period. The Company has stated that the
provision is based on receivables which are older than 36 months, which
in our opinion is not commensurate with the size and operation of the
Company. In our opinion, the provision made is inadequate and the
impact on loss and carrying value of trade receivables could not be
ascertained.
B. In respect of Inventories, during the reporting period, the
management has not undertaken physical verification of Inventories at
periodic intervals. The Company has not maintained adequate inventory
records at the factory. In our opinion, the comparative inventory
holding levels, in view of steep decline in the turnover as compared to
earlier years, are higher and therefore there is a possibility of loss
on sale / realization of slow moving / old items. No provision has been
made on diminution in the value of old and slow moving inventory. The
impact of the above remarks, presently not ascertainable and,
therefore, cannot be commented upon.
C. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations, has net capital deficiencies
and non fulfillment of commitment of approved CDR package that raises
substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustment that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management plans in
regard to this matter are described in note 3.1.4 to the financial
statements. The appropriateness of going concern assumption is
dependent on the Company's ability to raise adequate finance from
alternate means and / or recoveries from debtors to meet its short term
and long term obligations as well as to establish consistent business
operations.
In the absence of any convincing audit evidences, no positive steps
taken by the management, non recovery of Trade Receivables since long,
default in payment of the restructured loans forming part of CDR
package and financial difficulties faced by the Company due to decrease
in business operations, we are unable to determine the possible effects
of these multiple uncertainties on the financial statements.
Disclaimer of Opinion
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for
Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit
opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the financial
statements.
