I have audited the accompanying financial statements of KATARE SPINNING
MILLS LIMITED ("the company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
31 March 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation and presentation of these financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility
also includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding of the assets
of the Company and for preventing and detecting the frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial control, that were operating effectively for
ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.
I have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and
auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the
audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there
under.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's
preparation of the financial statements that give true and fair view,
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and operating effectiveness of
such controls.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made
by Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion on the financial
statements.
Opinion
Attention is drawn to the following:
a. As stated in Note No. 15 to the accounts, the company has included
in other non- current assets a sum of Rs. 428.00 lacs as deferred
interest expenditure. In the past the company had availed a term loan
ICICI Bank Ltd (which was under OTS with them) which was subsequently
assigned by ICICI to Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. Consequent upon
assignment The Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd had filed suit against the
company in DRAT for recovery. The company has settled the said loan
with Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd for an agreed amount of Rs. 750 lacs of
which Rs. 325 lacs was deposited before DRAT and Rs. 425 lacs is paid
on or before 31/05/2013 and accordingly no balance is now outstanding.
b. The company had a transferred balance in Capital Reserve of Rs. 150
lacs when the loan was settled with ICICI Bank Ltd. The said balance is
now reversed from Capital Reserve and balance Rs. 600 lacs represent
the amount of interest from the year 2002 to the date of settlement.
The company has deferred this interest amount of Rs. 600 lacs to be
written off over a period of 7 years and have accordingly charged Rs.
86 lacs each year in the last two years but has not charged Rs. 86.00
lacs to the statement of profit and loss for the year under audit and
balance Rs. 428.00 lacs is carried as deferred revenue expenditure.
c. Had the items reported in para 4 (b) and (c) above been charged to
the statement of profit and loss, the profit for the year of Rs. 18.53
lacs would have been resulted into loss of Rs. 502.22 lacs. To that
extent it has resulted into overstatement of year end net Current
Assets and Reserves and Surplus by Rs. 502.22 lacs.
d. No provision is made for payment for gratuity on actuarial basis as
on 31st March 2015 hence its impact on the net profit could not be
ascertained as referred to Note. No. 27(b) in the notes on accounts.
In my opinion and to the best of my information and according to the
explanations given to me, except as reported in para 4(a) to (e) above,
the financial statements give the information required by the Act in
the manner so required and except as reported in para 4(a) to (e)
above, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India:
