| 6 | With regard to Auditor's opinion that the Company’s accounts should NOT have been complied on 'GONE CONCERN' basis, it is stated that the Company has represented to the GOI that the policy on pricing of NPK since Apr 2002 and of Urea from Apr 2003 have adversely affected its profitability. Consequently, the Company has been making huge losses. The networth has been fully eroded on 31.03.2004. The Company has been urging the GOI to make suitable corrections in the Pricing Policies. The DOF referred the Company to BRPSE. BRPSE recommended certain relief measures for revival of the Company. Meanwhile, M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India (P) Ltd have been engaged as Consultant to assist in preparing the revival plan. Based on their recommendations a Financial Restructuring package aimed at making the operations of the Company commercially viable will be submitted for the consideration of Government. | |||||||||||
