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.
