  • 8/2/2019 HEC_2008_09

    18/63

    18

    ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009

    the deviations noted in Para 4,11 and 12of this report and as the profit reported inprofit and loss account converts into loss,

    it does not give a true and fair view inconformity with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India:

    (a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, ofthe State of affairs as on 31st March,2009 and

    (b) In the case of Profit & Loss Account,of the profit for the year ended on31st March, 2009, and

    (c) In the case of cash flow statement, of

    the cash flows for the year ended onthat date.

    waiver/ withdrawal of companys long pendingnon admitted liability is certain. As such thesewere not considered in Accounts. Moreover Govt.

    of Jharkhand Union Govt. and the Company hadsubmitted affidavits in the Honble High Courtof Jharkhand whose acceptance by the Courtis a must before implementing / accountingfor any of the waiver of the liabilities/ transferof assets. Here it may be mentioned that theBIFR had recommended winding up of thecompany against which the company andGovt. of India had filed writ applications beforeHonble High Court of Jharkhand and the matteris yet to be disposed of and is sub-judice. Untiland unless Honble High Court of Jharkhandpasses appropriate orders it would neitherbe prudent nor advisable to pass entries inthe Books of Account to give effect to thesuggestion of the Audit. Although there weresome sort of understanding between Govt. ofIndia , Govt. of Jharkhand and HEC that in DPSon electricity dues payable by HEC wouldbe waived along with other items included inPara 11 & 12 as a total package deal, inthe absence of any specific agreement to thiseffect perhaps C & AG audit had observed on

    the Accounts for 2007-08, that non provisionof such items would result into a loss and assuch it was commented on the Auditors reportas to the true and fair view of the accountsof 2007-08.. But the audit had not taken intocognizance the subsequent developments likethe agreement amongst Govt. of India, Govt.of Jharkhand and the company and filing ofaffidavits before the Honble High Court ofJharkhand. If these affidavits are consideredin its entirety there would be no impact onprofitability, as creating of liability for DPS and

    waival of the same would have no impact onthe profitability in the Accounts. But the audithas considered only the DPS leviable but at thesame time ignored waival of the same whichhad been agreed to between Govt. of Indiaand Govt. of Jharkhand. Similar is the caseof other liabilities. In the absence of specificorder of Honble High Court and as the matteris sub-judice company can not pass entriesto give effect to the same in the accounts assuggested by the Auditor.

    As such it is requested to reconsider the

    ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009

    3. As referred in Para 1.0 of Accounting Policy,the Accounts have been prepared on theGoing Concern assumption. In view of factsreferred in Note No. 1 of Schedule 25regarding order of BIFR dated 06.07.2004for winding up the company and in view ofthe huge accumulated losses, the negativenet worth of the company, the companysability to continue as a going concern isdependent on availability of substantialfinance, decision of High Court / AAIFR as

    well as future production performance andprofitability, etc.

    4. FIXED ASSETS :

    Although 17 nos. of non residential building

    were transferred by the Company during thecurrent financial year on a consideration ofRs. 80.00 crores and consideration amountreceived on 31st March, 2009, no accountingentry were passed for such transfer as wellas for profit / loss on such transfer, pendingacceptance of Revival Package of Govt. ofJharkhand by Honble Jharkhand High Court(refer notes no. 7 of schedule 25). In absenceof WDV of specific asset( which also includesin some cases part of the building), we areunable to quantify the amount of profit /loss

    deletion of the comments that the Accountsprepared by the company fails to give trueand fair view.

    Board for Reconstruction of Public SectorEnterprises (BRPSE) recommended the revivalproposal of the company and was duly approvedby Union Cabinet on 15.12.2005. The Govt. ofIndia also implemented the conversion of planloan into equity, waival of Non plan loan andthe interest due on plan & non plan loan stoodas on 31.3.2005 and also provided funds asbridge loan of Rs. 102 crores to HEC beforethe end of the financial year 2005-06. Govt.of Jharkhand also furnished affidavits in the

    Honble High Court for settlement of JSEB dues.Waival of Sales tax, water charges and alsoproviding funds as grant. The Govt. of Jharkhandhas also agreed to take over the availablesurplus land of HEC and all the residentialand non residential building which are alreadyon rent with State Government. Moreoversubstantial cash has been generated by wayof transferring the residential quarter on LongTerm Lease. Union Govt. has also convertedthe above bridge loan along with interest intoequity. Company has also increased its volume

    of operation drastically and generation ofcash also has tremendously been increased.As such, no shortage of cash towards workingcapital Would be faced by HEC in near futureeven after liquidating the companys liability toemployees. Statutory bodies and other outsideparties and the company would be entirelycapable of running as a going concern withadequate financial resources.

    This has been dealt with note no. 7 ofSchedule-25 (Notes on Accounts).

INVENTORIESIn HMTP errors in basic data generatedfrom plant/computer system/stores pricedledger/sales value related to inter plant itemssubmitted by PPC/ cost yet to be incurredestimated by PPC were noticed, which mighthave affected the cost of material /directlabour, shop overhead etc. and its correctionwas not carried out by the unit. Withoutcorrection of basic data and fresh calculation,we are unable to express our opinion on

    valuation of work in progress taken in Booksof Accounts in that plant. Further, due toerrors in valuation of cost of opening stockin some items of WIP and finished goods inearlier year and continuing during the year inHMBP, we are unable to express our opinionon valuation of work in progress and finishedgoods taken in books of accounts.

    6. SUNDRY DEBTORS

    6.1 Confirmation of balances due from SundryDebtors were not obtained by the companyfor our verification sundry debtors includebalances, which are long over due andare appearing as sundry debtors for morethan three years and which have not beenconfirmed by the parties from whom theseare receivable. Consequently profit andsundry debtors are over stated to thatextent.

    6.2 Sundry Debtors include Rs. 1458.03 lakhs

    from a single party which is resultant of anarbitration award awarded in favour of thecompany in February, 1997 against which theparty filed an appeal before Honble DelhiHigh Court. The Honble High Court rejectedthe appeal but the party has again filed anappeal before Honble Delhi High Court. Atthis juncture of time, as the realisation ofthis entire amount of Rs. 1458.03 lakhs isuncertain, since the award has not beenimplemented, is desputed and is long over

    due, warranting a provision of the entire

    This has been corrected to the extent possibleduring the year. Cost yet to be incurred forcompletion has been prudently calculated byPPC nearest to actual and therefore, existencefor errors in estimation has been minimised/eliminated.

    This has been dealt with Note No. 9 of schedule25. (Notes on Accounts)

    The long pending Debtors relates to theamount receivable from PHED towards supplyof electricity for water Filtration Plants Thisis to be adjusted against their dues from HECtowards supply of process as well as drinkingwater. This has already been considered inthe revival package by Govt. of Jharkhandand settlement is expected shortly. Hence noprovision has been considered at this stageand therefore no debtors are overstated.

    As observed by the statutory audit the appealof the party before Honble High Court Delhi hasbeen rejected. As such there is no uncertaintyregarding realisation of the amount. Accordinglyno provision is considered necessary at thisstage.
