Against the above cash credit facility, Bank of India was having a second equitable charge on the Company's property - Scindia Colony at Andhefi. The Government of India, the first charge-holder as mortgagee sold the said property after obtaining necessary consent of Bank of India and the charge created earlier was vacated. Form No. 17 dated 19.02.2007 duly signed by the Bank and the Company was filed with the Registrar of Companies. However, the Company has received a certificate of registration modifying the charge based on an Assignment agreement dated 31.12.2008 executed between the Bank and ASREC (India) Ltd. In fact, the Company has not entered into any such mortgage/assignment agreement with ASREC (India) Ltd.

5. Shipping operations of the company stand suspended, the net worth of the company is totally eroded and substantial loss of Rs. 342,57,18,160 is carried forward in the books. The shareholders at the last AGM held on July 28, 2010 passed a resolution for winding up of the company, and winding up petition was filed in the High Court at Bombay on February 28, 2011. Despite this, the Accounts are continued to be prepared on a 'going concern basis' in the absence of adequate necessary data for compilation on an alternative basis. Consequently, no adjustments are made in the accounts relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts and in respect of recorded liabilities and contingent liabilities that might devolve on the Company, for compilation of accounts on an alternative basis.

6. The Company has an investment in the form of Equity Share Capital of Rs. 24,00,000 in its subsidiary company, Scindia Workshop Ltd. Provision has been made in the Accounts for the probable permanent diminution in the said Investment of Rs. 24,00,000. The Company has also sanctioned a loan of Rs. 2200 lacs (amount outstanding as at March 31, 2011 Rs. 17,07,01,479, as at March 31, 2010 Rs. 19,37,93,744).

The recoverability of the investment and the loan, in our opinion, is dependent on the outcome of the Reference made under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, against the Award given by the Special Land Acquisition Officer (MHADA) for the land and buildings acquired by the Government of Maharashtra. In the reference filed, the Hon'ble High Court has passed an order for additionai compensation of Rs. 211,91,542.80 plus interest. The subsidiary, as per legal advice, has filed an appeal before the Division Bench of the Bombay High Court for enhancement of compensation. The appeal was admitted. The Division Bench directed the subsidiary to approach the High Powered Committee of Government of India by Order dated January 11, 2011 as all parties involved in the appeal are Government or Government undertakings in view of Supreme Court judgment in the case of ONGC and Another v/s Collector of Central Excise. However on February 17, 2011, in Civil Appeal no. 1883 of

2011 of ECIL v/s Union of India & Others; the Larger Bench of the Supreme Court observed that the High Powered Committee has not achieved the results for which it was constituted and in fact led to delays in litigation and loss of revenue, and under the circumstances, the Larger Bench decided to recall its earlier Order and disbanded the High Powered Committee. In view of the above developments, the subsidiary will have to file review application before the Division Bench to once again hear the case on merits. \n regard to the additional compensation plus interest thereon lying in the Court, a sum of Rs. 290,27,965 inclusive of interest was collected by the subsidiary during July/August 2010. Based on the tax advice received, tax provision of Rs. 58,14,000 was made by the subsidiary in its books, and paid Rs. 57,25,000 as advance tax before March 15, 2011. Further sum of Rs. 40,000 was paid as self assessment tax during May 2011. 7. (a) No provision for taxation has been made in view of no assessable income (previous year Rs. nil).

15. The interest expense for the year of Rs. 20,80,33,636 (previous year Rs. 20,02,60,865) includes Rs. 17,01,78,438 (previous year Rs. 16,75,90,280) on GOI outstanding balance, and Rs. 3,7855,198 (previous year Rs. 3,26,70,585) on outstanding balance in C.
