We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Golkonda
Aluminium Extrusions Limited (Formerly known as Alumeco India Extrusion
Limited) ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
30thJune, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information, which we have
signed under reference to this report.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is 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 the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
that were 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 thereunder. 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 the 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. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's 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 on the financial
statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The company has accumulated losses of Rs. 161,161,535 as at 30th June
2015 which has exceeded the paid up capital and reserves of Rs.
160,522,805 of the company as at that date. The company has been
declared sick on 9th February 2009 and had made a reference to the
Board of Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in terms of
section 15(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions)
Act, 1985.During the year, company ceases to be a sick industrial
company vide order dated 08 June 2015 within the meaning of Section
3(1)(o) of Sick Industrial Companies Act (SICA) as its net worth has
turned positive as on 31st December 2014.However as on 30 June 2015,
the net worth has turned negative amounting to Rs.639,730.
Considering the financial position of the Company as at 30th June 2015
and the subsequent financial stress caused by the Alumeco Group

exists significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able
to continue as a going concern. The Management is in the process of
evaluating available options to rehabilitate the Company. The financial
results for the year ended 30th June 2015 have been prepared on a going
concern basis and do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or, to
amounts or classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
