I) With reference to clause 4(e) of Auditors Report -

The production is under suspension due to non- availability of required raw materials and the Management has evaluated that the plant can be used for production of paper with wood based raw materials. The Management has approached the concern authorities of the state government for the allotment of industrial bamboo quota and lease of unused degraded forest land for commercial plantation of bamboos so that there will be regular supply of raw material.

The Company is arranging to make the payment of Rs. 18.57 lacs of Sales Tax dues.

The accumulated losses of the Company have exceeded its Net worth, hence net worth of the Company has been fully eroded at the end of the financial year 2009-2010. The Company has incurred cash losses during the current financial year as well as in the immediately preceding financial year.

Causes for erosion of Net Worth

The Company has been providing depreciation on all fixed assets though there are no production activities since September 2006 and also during the year under review the Company has provided impairment loss of Rs. 779.38 lacs on fixed assets which has increased the loss for the year and resulted in full erosion of the net worth of the Company.

Steps for revival

The Management has evaluated the viability of wood based paper manufacturing and has approached to concerned authorities of the state government for the allotment of industrial bamboo quota and lease of unused degraded forest land for commercial plantation of bamboos so that there will be regular supply of raw material. The Management is hopeful for the allotment of the same and to re-start the plant and efforts are being made to make net worth positive.
