Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements :
1. As required by Sec 143 (3) of the Act, we report that:
a. We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations
which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purpose of our audit except
i. The Company has taken inter corporate loan of Rs 1.34 Lacs [
unsecured ] and unsecured loans from related parties/firms of Rs. NIL
and from Non Related person Rs. NIL during the financial year under

firms and from key management person and Rs.NIL from other parties. No
interest provided on loan accounts. In absence of formal agreement or
supporting other documents, we could not comment and could not quantify
the non provision of interest thereon.
Out of total Inter Corporate Loans as above, the Company has taken
Mortgage Loan of Rs. 5 Crore from Adani Enterprises Ltd in earlier
years. We are not provided any formal Loan Agreement copy except
Mortgage Deed which does not contain any repayment terms and interest
rate. No interest is provided on such Loans. We are unable to comment
upon non provision of interest, repayment schedule etc. in absence of
any formal agreement with the company and related documents and
information. Account confirmation copy is not available for our
verification and consequently uncertainty arises in Financial
Statements as to the exact amount. [Read with Notes No. 5 to the
financial Statements].
Company has not made provision for doubtful Debtors of Rs 93.75 Lacs,
for the debtors outstanding for the long time, to that extent, Current
Assets have been overstated and current years Losses and accumulated
losses have been understated. [Read with Notes No. 13 to the financial

iv. Bank Balance certificate or Bank Statements for various banks for
No lien accounts with banks showing total balance of Rs. 89.30 Lacs are
not available with the company. Management is of opinion that banks are
not providing such required bank statements or certificates hence all
accounts are carried forward showing as bank balance. It is also not
clarified that whether these bank balances in No-lien accounts are
receivable by the company or adjusted against bank loans settled under
OTS in earlier years since all respective banks debts have been settled
under OTS in earlier years. In absence of such documents and
clarifications, we could not comment upon the genuineness of balance
with banks and as per our opinion, current assets are overvalued to the
extent of this amount and to the extent losses are undervalued. [Read

is doing Trading activities during the year under audit but majority
