- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis the validity of which is dependent upon the continued financial support from the principal and the majority shareholders and their related group of Companies to enable the Company to continue trading and pay all its debts as and when they fall due. The Company has formally received assurances of financial support, if necessary, in the foreseeable future from the promoter Company, Namokar Vinimay Pvt. Ltd, that the majority shareholder has sufficient resources readily available to provide the required support.”
Significant events
- “disputed claim of Jute Corporation of India is pending for decision of the Sole Arbitrator which is adequately covered.”
- “claims against former related parties and shareholder: Bhattar, an ex-director/shareholder, and LLP. Two previous directors of the Company, and one previous shareholder and C. Choudhary along with one minority Company, holding office of the Company, filed a case against the Company, Namokar Vinimay Pvt. Limited, and Namokar Vinimay Pvt. Limited, challenging the procedure of their own resignation from the office of the Company, and also matters related to forfeiture of shares. In an appeal against the Order of the High Court of Justice dated 11 February 2009, the Supreme Court per Order decreed a cost of £344,622 to be paid to those accused persons and imposed a penalty of £100,000. The company has filed an execution petition against the Company's funds on the plea of payment of advocates and also such other causes.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
