During the Financial Year under review the Companys Revenue from Operations increased to Rs. 361.72 Lakhs as against Rs. 47.49 Lakhs in the previous year i.e. more than6times growth over the preceding year. This was basically due to an increase in the Interest Income.

This being less than the previous years similar figure of Rs. 1141.65 Lakhs inclusive of a Bad Debt recovery of Rs.5,000 recorded under Other Income.

Singhi & Associates has given adverse opinion in relation to the Financial Statements of the Company for the Financial Year ended 31st March 2023 in their Report for the Financial Year 2022-23.The Boards response in relation to the said opinion is as under:

Qualified Opinion Management Reply
(a) Non-recognition of Interest Expense We draw attention to Note No 42 of the Financial Statement relating to non-recognition of Interest Expense on secured borrowings from financial institutions and inter-corporate borrowings. As a result, finance costs and liability on account of Interest Expense and Total Comprehensive Loss for the Year ended 31st March, 2023 are understated to that extent. The Company has disputes with lenders, and therefore interest neither being provided nor paid for in the accounts. As per terms of the borrowings, such unprovided interest is Rs.88,821 thousands for the quarter ended 31st March, 2023 and Rs.3,62,331 thousands for the year ended 31st March, 2023.
Further the Company is in dispute with its Lenders. Therefore the Board of Directors has decided not to recognise interest expense on its borrowings for the current period in the
This constitutes a departure from the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard 109 "Financial Instruments". Audited Financial Results as the same is unascertainable at present. Further the company has already entered into settlement process with Aditya Birla Finance Limited after the closure of the financial year.
(b) Non-recognition of Provision on Loans and Advances The management believes that the outstanding dues, net of provision for amounts considered doubtful shall be either recovered or adjusted or restructured considering the outcome of a group level resolution plan stock restructuring plan which is being envisaged.Therefore, no further provision or adjustment is contemplated at this stage.
The Company has given unsecured loans amounting to Rs.17,27,514 thousands remaining outstanding as on 31st March, 2023 which in our opinion are doubtful of recovery. The classification of loans is not made in accordance with Reserve Bank of India Prudential Norms. In absence of adequate provision there against, the loss for the year is understated to that extent. Impact in this respect has not been ascertained by the management and recognized in the financial statement.
(c) Balances of receivables, unsecured and secured loan creditors and their balance confirmations Certain Balances relating to Loans, Advances and Borrowings are subject to reconciliation and confirmation of the parties, impact whereof is not ascertainable at present. Discrepancies, ifa ny, are not quantifiable at this stage.
We draw attention to Note No. 27 of the Financial Statement with respect to certain balances relating
to Trade Receivables, Other Receivables, Other Payables, Loans, Advances and Borrowings are being subject to reconciliation and confirmation of the parties, and in absence ofsuch information, impact thereof being currently unascertainable and therefore not commented upon. Further in respect of loan given to Mcnally Bharat Engineering Limited (MBECL) which is under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) at present. The company had filed claim of Rs. 1,66,950 thousands before the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) in the CIRP of MBECL. The IRP has admitted the claim to the extent of the principal amounting to Rs. 50,00,000 only. However the final order has not been passed by NCLT.
Material uncertainty related to Going Concern During the year, the Companys financial performance has been adversely affected due to external factors beyond the control of the Company. A negative net worth eventually occurred due to the classification of certain loans and advances as Non-Performing Assets. The Management is confident that with the Lenders and promoters support and various other measures taken, the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash inflows through profitable operations and improve its net working capital position to discharge its current and non-current financial obligations. The Company is working with the lenders for engaging on settlement process of outstanding loans. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has decided to prepare the Financial Results on a going concern basis.
The Company has defaulted in repayment of borrowings to its financial institutional lenders and others. In view of the Management, the Company would be able to improve its net working capital position to discharge its current and non-current financial obligations. However, in view of the uncertainties involved, these events and conditions indicate a material uncertainty which may cast a significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the use of going concern assumption of accounting in preparation of this Statement is not adequately and appropriately supported as per the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Standalone Financial Statements"
