The physical verification of stocks done by the management and bankers from time to time. The Management has given verification & Valuation report to the Auditors accordingly.

As bank had charged heavily and in view of the same the Company has applied for restructuring proposal to the bank, and said proposal is under consideration, your Company is in belief that, if said proposal accepted by the Bank, it may likely to waive penal interest and refund of interest already paid. It certainly have positive affect on the profitability of the Company which lead to increase in profit of the Company.

During the year under review, the account of the Company is continue under Stress Asset Management (SAM) with State Bank of India and charging interest at lower rate and therefore the Company has made interest provision on lower side having regards to the same.

Since it has been brought to the notice regarding liability of TDS from the management of company would take the appropriate step to deposit the same at the earliest. The defaults were due to reasons beyond to the control of the management.

The question of rectification of the receivables regarding excise duty and interest amount there upon does not arise since the entries are correct and payments are yet to be received.

The amortization of brand would be appropriately considered in the best interest of the company.

Merely because of individual break up of retention money and earnest money can be given to the auditors and these amounts are not doubtful.

The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities will be duly considered in accordance to AS 22 and impact of the earlier years also to be considered if the same were not considered earlier.

The impairment loss has not been assessed. The management has belief that the amount recoverable as stated would be recovered.

2. During the period under review there were fluctuations in the exchange rates and due to the strengthening of the Rupee Exports became a losing preposition . Due to this your Company had no other option but to practically stop the Exports. The Company has now decided to concentrate on the Domestic Markets and necessary steps are being taken in this direction.

3. Due to incessant Rains during the period of July-September, 20O6 there was flooding in the plate making Department at U-116 M1DC & Entire Mondha Unit II . This flooding damaged the machines & Stocks. Insurance claims for the damages has been submitted to the insurance company.
