2. The value on realization of current assets in the ordinary course
of business would not be less than the amount at which they are stated
in the Balance Sheet. According to the management, provision for all
the known liabilities is adequate.
3. Balances in Debtors, Creditors, loans, advances, loans taken, and
other current assets are subject to confirmation and reconciliation.
4. The Company has advanced funds to its various subsidiaries as
mentioned hereunder for various projects and products akin to business
of the Group. The Capital Advances, work in progress, and other
application of funds made by these subsidiary companies in opinion of
the management are good in nature; and the same have been considered as
good in the respective annual accounts of the said subsidiary
companies.
(a) Amount advanced to subsidiary is in nature of loan, where the loan
is re-payable on demand.
(b) Advances to employees are not in the nature of loans and there are
no other advances in the nature of loans.
(c) No advances in the nature of loan are given to any subsidiary or an
associate for investment in shares of the Company.
5. (a) The Company has dispute with certain parties from whom loans
were received balance amounting to Rs. 5,582,426 at the yearend against
pledge of shares of the directors / promoter group. These parties have
not sent their loan confirmations, and the same are reflected in
accounts based on the last information available with the Company
without prejudice to the Company''s rights against these parties as
claimed before the humble Court. These parties have filed a suit
against the Company for recovery of loans including winding up of the
Company. The Company has taken appropriate legal remedies to defend the
cases.
(b) The Company is to pay amount due on account of interest amounting
to Rs. 139,822,427 to the banks and financial institutions for a period
from three months to fifteen months on the date of Balance Sheet. The
Company is in process of renegotiating the terms of loans with the
banks and Institutions. A few banks and Institutions have not sent
their loan confirmations, and the same are reflected in accounts based
on the last information available with the Company. One of the lenders
has taken symbolic possession of office premises of the Company. Some
of these banks and Institutions have filed suits against the Company
for recovery of their debts. However, since the loan accounts were Non
Performing Assets according the Regulations of Reserve bank of India,
they have not charged interest to the loan accounts. The Company has
made provision of interest payable at normal rates in its accounts. To
that extent, the loan balances vary in accounts of the Company and in
accounts of the said banks and institutions.
(c) The Company is challenged on financial front; and thus has not been
able to repay the loans, secured and unsecured, and other unsecured
creditors. A few unsecured creditors have filed suit against the
Company for recovery of their dues as well as winding up of the
Company. The Company has also not been able to pay statutory dues like
income-tax and wealth tax for Assessment Year 2012-13, TDS for
Assessment year 2012-13 and 2013-14, Employees'' profession tax,
Provident fund and ESIC partly for the year under consideration, and
Service Tax for the year, although appropriate provisions for
liabilities are made in accounts. The Company is yet to file its return
of income and wealth for Assessment Year 2012-13 and TDS quarterly
statements for Assessment Year 2012-13 and 2013-14, and other returns
for service tax, profession tax, provident fund, and ESIC. The Company
might face penal actions from Appropriate Authorities for these non
compliances.
(d) Owing to non payments of loans taken for / on motor cars, the
concerned lender have invoked the securities. However, the Company is
intimated by the lenders that a few cars were sold by them after the
year end. Since, technically the Company owned these cars on the
balance sheet date, the same have been shown as assets in the balance
sheet and depreciation is provided on them. Necessary entries for sale
and other consequential entries will be passed by the Company in next
financial year. In view of taking possession of the prime securities in
form of motor cars, these loans are secured against only personal
guarantees of directors; and have been classified as such as secured
short term liabilities.
(e) One of the main reasons for the financial challenges is moneys
raised by the Company through various sources are deployed in various
projects of production and distribution of films which have delayed
owing to various reasons beyond control. The moneys advanced to Indian
and foreign subsidiaries of the Company are deployed by the said
subsidiaries in various production and distribution of films projects
which are also delayed. The management is working hard to overcome the
challenges that are in way, and is confident of completing these
projects in near future or otherwise realize the moneys deployed in
these projects in form of capital advances or capital work in progress.
Appropriate provisions for doubtful debts in opinion of the management
have been created in accounts to take care of contingencies. The
management is of the view that amounts realizable by the Company are
larger than the liabilities of the Company, and the present financial
challenges are part of a temporary phase. The details of major capital
work in progress, receivables, and capital advances vis-a-vis external
liabilities (apart from promoters loans) are as under:
In view of this, the management is of the view that, the Company is a
going concern, and the accounts are drawn accordingly.

large. In view of this, the Company has reversed interest charge of Rs.
265,137,330 (Rs. 199,085,362 from April 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012
