We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CALS REFINERIES LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss and 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 management and Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the act') with respect to the preparation 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 Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that are 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
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We 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.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we 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 a 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 the 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 the Company's management and Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis of Qualified Opinion
Attention of the matters is invited to note no.27(d) of the notes to accounts regarding the financial statements of the company having been prepared on a Going Concern basis, not withstanding that due to continuous losses incurred by the company during the past years and current year, the accumulated losses of the Company have far exceeded its Net Worth resulting in negative net worth on Balance Sheet date. The company has written-off a substantial part of its Fixed Asset during the previous year. This situation indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as going concern.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters described in the basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:-
a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2016;
b) in the case of the statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the period ended on that date; and
c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the period ended on that date.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion we draw attention to:
(a) The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has initially put restriction on any further issue of equity shares or any other instruments convertible into equity shares or any other security by the Company for a period of ten years vide its interim order dated 21st September, 2011. In its final order dated 23rd October, 2013 the same order was upheld. The Company as on date of the final order has undergone such prohibition for approximately two years thus the restriction will be reduced effectively to eight years from the date of the final order. The Company is in appeal against the order of SEBI Dated 31st December, 2014 alleging siphoning of funds in Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT). The matter is sub-judice and the impact, if any, of the outcome of the same cannot be ascertained at this stage.
(b) The company has share application money pending allotment for a period of more than two years and cannot issue shares in view of the Order of SEBI as aforesaid.
(c) Trade payables appearing in the books of accounts are subject to confirmation and reconciliation, if any. Consequent impact if any will be considered as and when determined.
(d) Re-opening of Assessment for F.Y 2007-08 (A.Y. 2008-09) U/s 148 of Income Tax Act, 1961, was initiated against the Company. The Company is contesting the case and the assessment proceedings under process. The matter is referred to Transfer Pricing Officer to determine the Arm length price for the International Transaction. The final order from the A.O as well the Transfer Pricing officer is awaited. The impact on the order will be considered as and when order received from the department.
