COMMENT ON AUDITORS REPORT
With respect to the qualification raised by the statutory auditor in
audit report, your directors submit that one of the major reasons
behind all the reservation and qualification is bad financial position
of the company. The Company is facing the major risk due to General
Slowdown in the industry, over capacity and low reservation might
threaten profitability and cheaper Exports of Consumer goods may affect
sales of FMCG products thereby decreasing its packaging requirements.
However, during this difficult period the company has taken number of
initiatives on cost reduction, improvement in efficiency and
productivity as a result company could achieve encouraging results.
Another important reason of these qualifications are due to absence of
key personnel and staff responsible for financial and accounting
matters, non availability of financial information and accounting data.
However the constant efforts are made by the company to overcome the
situation and the settle all its operations.
