fixed assets have been maintained from the year 1970-1971. As explained to us that the Company has
also identified fixed assets acquired in earlier periods, upto the year 1962-1963, and has built up records
with aggregate value showing quantitative details and locations of the same but not the individual cost,
and consequently such aggregate values could not be reconciled with the values of individual items
acquired prior to 1970-1971 and recorded in the fixed assets register.
At other units the company has maintained proper records showing full particulars including original and
revalued costs, quantitative details and situation of fixed assets except for certain items of fixed assets
acquired prior to 1 April 1962, which have been recorded on the basis of physical verification conducted
during the year ended 31 March 1978 and values as estimated by the Management in the absence of
original cost. |
