The Company has not complied with the Securities and Exchange Board Of India (Employee Stock Option Scheme And Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999.

7 The Company's products have warranty clause for a period of 24 months. Provision for warranty claims has not been considered as the amount of claim on sale under warranty is estimated to be not material by the Management.

8 Due to current mismatch of infows and outfows, compounded by delayed recoveries of certain stressed assets, as enumerated in Note No. 37 below, the debt servicing by the Company has been adversely affected. As a result, action has been initiated by some of the lenders of the Company. LIC Nomura Mutual Fund and SBI Factors Limited had fled petitions in the Bombay High Court for winding up of the Company for non-payment of their dues. In case of the dues to SBI Factors Limited, the dues were supposed to be paid in the fnancial year 2012-13, where there is a delay and the company is likely to pay in the coming months. The other lenders are being addressed under One Time Settlement. Upon settlement of the matters amicably with the lenders including LIC Nomura Mutual Fund, the consent terms will be fled. Bank of India has served upon the Company a Notice under Section 13(2) of The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Act, 2002 for repayment of their dues. The notice has been set aside by DRT and is now being challenged in appeal by the bank. Also other Banks have sent Demand Notices to the Company for repayment of their dues. Also some other banks have issued SARFAESI notices.

9 In view of the temporary strain on fnancial resources which has inter alia resulted in delay in repayment of dues, and also with an objective to bring normalcy to the Company's operations, the Company has approached the Banks for One Time Settlement (OTS) of the dues. Pending consideration of such requests, the Company has not yet taken any steps with regard to the non-approval as explained in Note No. 30 above.

10 (i) Consequent to a review made by the Management of the various Assets of the Company, the Management is of the opinion that special efforts over a period of time would be needed for recovery of the following stressed assets which would have an impact on the results of the Company for the year under review:- a. Diminution in the value of Investments in Foreign Companies Rs. 7.77 Lacs, where the local Managements have deserted the Companies and the businesses have been closed down.

b. Diminution of value if any in the Investments in Unique Waste Plastic Management and Research Company Pvt. Ltd. of Rs. 4,360.20 Lacs where the pending disputes with minority shareholders has been resolved and now implementation of the project becomes sole means to recover the value of the Investments held by the Company.

c. Diminution in the value of Investment in Midcom Magnetics Management Private Limited of Rs. 139.50 Lacs.

d. Trade Receivables considered good includes Rs. 9979.50 Lacs of old Outstandings where the recovery may happen only after due legal actions and settlements of counter claims, if any, which cannot be determined.

e. Loans and Advances considered good includes Rs. 5901.13 Lacs of old debit balances where the same may be recovered in the form of assets or will be settled subject to counter claims, if any, which cannot be determined.

f. Cash and Bank Balances include old unreconciled debits in certain bank accounts which may not be recoverable / realizable.

(ii) a. Interest amounting to Rs. 63.55 Lacs approximately has not been provided on Public Deposits for the year including on deposits which have matured and are claimed but not paid as on 31st March 2013 amounting to Rs. 258.62 Lacs

b. Loans aggregating to Rs 22,399.68 Lacs have been re-called by the banks, due to default in repayment of the principal and interest amounts. Interest amounting to Rs. 2835.95 Lacs approximately has not been provided for the year on these loans. Also no interest has been provided on account of delays in payment of various statutory dues like Tax Deducted at Source, Service Tax, ESIC, Custom Duty, Sales Tax, Provident Fund etc, amount whereof is not ascertainable.

Non or delayed recoverability of the above Stressed Assets and inadequacy of accruals have adversely affected the debt servicing by the Company and also led to operating losses and erosion of liquidity. The management is of the view that the above stressed assets of various classes may need provision in due course the extent of which cannot be determined at present. Consequently they have been shown as considered good and no provision has been made for the same.

The management is of the view that the future viability of the company and its `going concern' assumption would depend on the timely approval of the Company's OTS proposal.

11 Unsecured interest free loans aggregating to Rs 131.50 Lacs received from various parties and outstanding in the books of account as on 31st March 2013, are subject to reconciliation and confrmation

12 Sales invoices along with the relevant corresponding documents are not in the possession of the Company as the same are in the custody of the government authorities.

13 Regarding impairment the Management is of the opinion that impairment arising out of changes in business model, discontinuation of some products and services and similar reasons should be recognized and are proposed to be transferred to the respective divisions for recovery and an estimate should be made as a block of assets comprising of Fixed Assets, Current Assets and Investments. In the absence of full implementation of the plan, the impairment has not been ascertained and debited to Statement of Proft and Loss.

14 Balances of Trade Receivables, Loans and Advances and Trade Payables are subject to confrmations, reconciliation and consequential adjustments, if any, the effects of which are at present unascertainable.
