Annexure to the Auditor’s Report<br />
(Referred to in paragraph 3 of our report of even date)<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
(iii)<br />
Having regard to the nature of the Company’s business/activities, clauses (v), (vi), (x), (xii), (xiii), (xiv),<br />
(xix) and (xx) of CARO are not applicable to the Company.<br />
In respect of its fixed assets:<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
The Company is in the process of re-compiling / updating its fixed asset register with a view<br />
towards reflecting full particulars including description, quantitative details and location / situation<br />
of its fixed assets.<br />
Some of the fixed assets have been physically verified during the period by the Management in<br />
accordance with a programme of verification, which in our opinion provides for physical verification<br />
of all the fixed assets at reasonable intervals. In view of the fact that the fixed asset register is in<br />
the process of re-compilation / updating, management has informed that discrepancies, if any,<br />
arising between the assets verified and the books and records would be dealt with in the year in<br />
which such re-compilation of the register is completed<br />
The fixed assets disposed off during the period, in our opinion, do not constitute a substantial part<br />
of the fixed assets of the Company and such disposal has, in our opinion, not affected the going<br />
concern status of the Company.<br />
In respect of its inventory:<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
As explained to us, the inventories were physically verified during the period by the Management<br />
at reasonable intervals, except the system of documentation for such verification needs to be<br />
strengthened.<br />
In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the procedures of<br />
physical verification of inventories followed by the management were reasonable and adequate<br />
in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.<br />
In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the Company<br />
has maintained proper records of its inventories and no material discrepancies were noticed on<br />
physical verification.<br />
(iv) According to the information and explanations given to us, the Company has neither granted nor<br />
taken any loans, secured or unsecured, to/from companies, firms or other parties listed in the Register<br />
maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956.<br />
(v)<br />
In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, additional strengthening<br />
of the internal control procedures with regard to purchases of inventory and fixed assets and for the<br />
sale of goods is recommended so as to be commensurate with the current size of the Company and<br />
nature of its business. However, in our opinion management is taking reasonable steps to correct the<br />
said weaknesses and we have not observed any other continuing failure to correct major weaknesses<br />
in internal controls.<br />
(vi) In our opinion, the internal audit functions carried out during the period by firms of Chartered<br />
Accountants appointed by the Management have been commensurate with the size of the Company<br />
and the nature of its business.<br />
(vii) We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the Company pursuant to the rules<br />
made by the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under Section 209(1) (d) of the<br />
Companies Act, 1956 in respect of manufacture of steel products and are of the opinion that prima<br />
facie the prescribed accounts and records have been made and maintained. We have, however, not<br />
made a detailed examination of the records with a view to determining whether they are accurate or<br />
complete.<br />
