31. AUDITORS REPORT
31.1. Statutory Audit Report
There are qualified opinions made by the Auditors in their Report. Clarifications of
the Management in respect of qualified opinions of Auditors Report are as follows:
| S. No. QUALIFIED OPINION |
MANAGEMENT REPLY |
| 1 (a) Non-provision of the expected credit loss/ impairment. The Company has not
recognized provision for the expected credit loss/impairment as required under Ind-AS 109
relating to overdue overseas Trade Receivables - "M/S Satwa Precious Metals &
Bullion Trading (FZE)" of Rs. 15270.23 Lakhs (including unrealized foreign currency
exchange gain of Rs. 2569.31 lacs as per Ind-AS 21) as the Company has filed a recovery
suit aganist the said overseas debtor before the Honurable Sub Court of North Parvoor. The
Honourable Court has passed an interim order in favour of the Company that it has
jurisdiction to try the suit and further the overseas debtors have not contested the dues
before the Court. The said overdue trade receivables is outstanding from more than four
years . The recovery of this trade receivable is dependent upon outcome of the Court
proceedings initiated by the Company and hence presently the Company is not in a position
to make a reasonable estimate of the likely amount of provision to be created.In light of
the aforementioned facts and with nil provisioning the impact in the Financial statements
would be decrease in trade receivable by Rs.15,270.23 Lakhs and consequent decrease in
profits and increase in losses will be amounting to Rs.15,770.37 Lakhs and retained
earnings would have decreased by Rs.15,270.23 Lakhs and become negative of
Rs.(-)Rs.9,178.63 Lakhs. |
Trade Receivables are classified as Financial Instruments under Ind-AS 109 and the
Company is required to provide for impairments/ obligations as per "Expected Credit
Loss (ECL) Method. Since the matter is still being decided by the Honourable Court the
Company is presently not in a position to quantify the impairment amount as per the said
accounting standards and hence has decided to wait for the Courts outcome before
providing for any "Expected Credit Loss" under Ind- AS 109.For a more detailed
understanding of the Companys instance in this matter kindly refer to "Trade
Receivables" in the Notes to Accounts. |
| 2 Material Uncertainty related to going concern The Companys operating results have
been materially affected due to various factors including non realization of Trade
receivables, notional unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss on unsecured and doubtful
overseas debtor, reliance on cash sales for meeting out expenses, pending income tax
demands etc. These events cause significant doubts on the ability of the company to
continue as a going concern. The appropriateness of the going concern assumption is
dependent on recoveries from overseas Trade Receivable and/ or the companys ability to
raise adequate finance from alternative means to meet its obligations as and when they
arise and as well as to establish consistent business operation. These situation indicates
that material uncertainty exists that cast significant doubts on the companys ability to
continue as a going concern. |
Management is of the view that notional foreign exchange gain or loss does not have
any material impact on the Cash flows or going concern, as the same is provided as per the
requirements of Ind-AS 21. Secondly the income tax demands also do not significantly
impact the going concern concept due to the reasons mentioned in the Notes to Accounts.As
regards reliance on cash sales, the Company does not have any debt or line of credit from
banks or financial institutions or any other lender and its revenue is solely from its
retail showroom operations. The operations of which has been severally impacted due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. Further the Promoter has been unable to actively manage the Company or
nominate directors on the Board of the Company nor support in any fund raising activities
since his entire shareholding has been locked in an escrow account since 2014 under SEBI
regulations as his open offer was awaiting SEBI clearance since then. SEBI very recently
vide its adjudication order dated 17.6.2021 has allowed the promoter to go ahead with the
said open offer with certain conditions. Since the order has been received very recently
and further since 45 days from the date of the order is available for appeal or otherwise
the exact impact of the order is being studied by the Company.Hence the management is of
the opinion that the Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement for the year ended
March 31,2021 and the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021 are materially correct and there
is no material impact of the audit qualification. |
31.2. Secretarial Audit Report
M/s. Parveen Rastogi & Co, Company Secretaries in Practice conducted the
