TO, The Members of Compuage Infocom Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Disclaimer of Opinion

We were engaged to audit the accompanying standalone financial statements of Compuage Infocom Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2024, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone financial statements").

We do not express an opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements of the Company. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these standalone financial statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

(a) As explained in note 1 to the financial statements, all the directors of the company except two directors, and Company Secretary have resigned from their positions in the Company prior to commencement of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ("CIRP") on 2nd November 2023 Upon commencement of the CIRP, the powers of the Board of Directors of the Company stand suspended and are exercised by the Resolution Professional ("RP"). Since these financial statements belong to the period comprising of both pre and post CIRP and hence, as infoinied to us, these financial statements have been prepared with the same "basis of preparation" as adopted by the erstwhile Board of Directors as enumerated upon the Board under Section 134(5), of the Companies Act, 2013 and related regulations, while highlighting/addressing any material departures as per the current conditions and events which occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. We have been informed that for the closing balances as on 31st March 2023 and period prior to initiation of CIRP, the RP has relied on the representations and statements made by existing staff/heads of the departments and accounts, Finance and Tax team of the Company. We have been given to understand that RP has signed the attached financial statements solely for the purpose of compliance and discharging his duty under the CIRP, governed by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (the "Code").

(b) As mentioned in note 39 to the financial statements, pursuant to the commencement of CIRP of the Company under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, there are various claims submitted by the financial creditors, operational creditors, employees and other creditors to the RP. The balances of financial creditors in the books have been adjusted to match the claims submitted by them. The overall obligations and liabilities including interest on loans and the principal amount of loans shall be determined upon the successful resolution of the Company. Pending final outcome of the CIRP, no accounting impact in the books of accounts has been made in respect of excess or short claims or non-receipt of claims for operational and financial creditors. Hence, consequential impact, if any, is currently not ascertainable and we are unable to comment on possible financial impact of the same.

(C) On the basis of information and explanations provided to us, as part of RPs responsibility under the CIRP, the RP has sent recovery notices to certain parties having outstanding trade receivables, has filed applications under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 to the extent of cheques available with the erstwhile management, and has also filed applications under section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 as the case may be. The RP has been partially successful in recovery of some monies through settlements.

(d) As required by Standards on Auditing (SAs), we could not carry out certain mandatory audit procedures like attending physical verification of inventories, obtaining direct confirmations from banks / trade receivables / trade and other creditors etc. due to various factors. Accordingly, we could not obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence for adequacy and reasonableness of management estimates for various provisions, fair valuation / net realizable value of various assets etc. These matters can have material and pervasive impact on the financial statements. Consequential impact, if any, of matters described below, on recognition of certain components in financial statements including its presentation / disclosure is currently not ascertainable.

(e) Books of Accounts

As stated in note 1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, the books of accounts maintained on SAP for the previous year ended 31st March 2023 were not accessible due to corruption of the data which could not be retrieved till the time of signing of the financial statements and therefore we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to the opening balances. Any changes to the opening balances would materially impact the financial statements including but not limited to the resultant accounting treatment thereof.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Pending outcome of CIRP, the Company has not carried out impairment testing of these assets as at the balance sheet date.

During the year, the Company has closed down all its branches in India. However, the written down values of Property, plant and equipment located at these branches and which have ceased to be in the possession of the Company have not been written off. Impact on the balances of Property, plant and equipment and consequential impact on depreciation is not ascertainable.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are being carried at Rs. 9,359.07 lakhs out of which Rs. 2,379.70 lakhs are located at Singapore Branch which is not audited by us. The management was of the view that these inventories continue to remain marketable. However, due to ongoing default in payment to lenders who hold a hypothecation charge on these inventories, certain sale restrictions have been imposed. As most of the inventories remain unsold, the realizable value of the inventories is in doubt. We have been informed that the valuation report obtained by the HP is confidential and cannot be made available to us. In the absence of sufficient and appropriate evidence to support the managements assessment with respect to realizable value of the inventories, we are unable to comment on whether the inventories are being carried at cost or realizable value, whichever is lower as required by Ind AS 2 and the consequent impact, if any, on the carrying value of the aforesaid inventories.

(h) Trade Receivables and Provision for Doubtful Debts

Trade Receivables are being carried at Rs. 44,297.22 lakhs out of which Rs. 171.01 lakhs are of Singapore Branch which is not audited by us. Provision for Expected Credit Loss on Trade Receivables of Rs. 44,297.22 Lakhs has not been made. Furthermore, the said amount has not been debited to the Profit and Loss Account and has not been reduced from Trade Receivables in the Balance Sheet which is not in accordance with Ind AS. As stated in note 1 due to restrictions imposed by lenders on inventory sales, the Company is currently unable to make further supplies to customers. This disruption in the purchase-sales-collection cycle has posed challenges in debt collection and recovery. The expected realization of the amounts outstanding from customers is uncertain. Due to unavailability of confirmations, we are unable to comment on the impact, if any, on the carrying value of the aforesaid Trade Receivables, its Ageing Schedule and the adequacy of Provision for Expected Credit Loss. Further, as Provision for Expected Credit Loss of Rs._44,297.22_has not been made and not debited to the Profit and Loss Account, the loss has been understated to that extent.

(i) Balances with Government Authorities

Balances with Government Authorities are being carried at Rs. 5,456.11 lakhs. This balance comprises of VAT paid on account of disputed cases of Rs. 56.64 lakhs, Customs Duty Refund of Rs. 193.73 lakhs, Unjust Enrichment of Rs. 47.82 lakhs and GST Input Credit Available of Rs. 5,157.92 lakhs. The recoverability of VAT Refund, Customs Duty Refund and Unjust Enrichment depends on the outcome of the cases filed with the respective government departments. Availability and Utilization of GST Input Credit depends on the outcome of the CIRP and whether the Company is able make payments to its suppliers and to sell products in the future. Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the impact, if any, on the carrying value of the aforesaid Balances with Government Authorities.

(j) Trade Payables & Other Payables

Trade Payables are being carried at Rs. 28,740.29 lakhs and Other Payables are being carried at Rs. 546.80 lakhs. Certain parties have submitted their claims under CIRP amounting to Rs. 54,091.96 lakhs. Pending final outcome of the CIRP, no adjustments have been made in the books for the differential amount in the claims admitted. Accordingly, we are unable to ascertain the impact on the carrying value of the aforesaid Trade Payables and Other Payables, its ageing schedule and corresponding impact, on Purchase of stock- in-trade, if any.

(k) Advance to Suppliers

Advances to Suppliers are being carried at Rs. 40.06 lakhs. Due to unavailability of confirmations, we are unable to comment on the impact, if any, on the carrying value of the aforesaid Advances to Suppliers.

(l) Expenses

Expenses have been verified to the extent supporting evidences and documents were made available at the time of audit.

(m) We have been informed that the report submitted by the Forensic Auditor appointed by Committee of Creditors is confidential. Further, we have been informed by the Interim Resolution Professional & Resolution Professional that certain information including the minutes of meetings of the Committee of Creditors and the outcome of certain procedures carried out as part of the CIRP are confidential in nature and could not be shared with anyone other than the Committee of Creditors and NCLT. Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the possible financial impact, presentation and disclosures, if any, that may arise if we had been provided access to such information.

Material uncertainty related to Going Concern

The financial statements are presented with the assumption that the Company will be able to continue its operations and that it has the ability to meet its financial obligations and liabilities in the normal course of business. As stated in note 1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, the business of the Company has been severely disrupted on account of extremely tight liquidity situation and inadequate support from major vendors and lenders, who have recalled the credit facilities. This situation has been further aggravated by high level of manpower attrition resulting in serious gaps in maintenance of IT systems and records. The Company has defaulted in respect of instalments and payment of interest on term loans and dues on account of cash credits from Banks. The Company is undergoing the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process as explained in detail in note 39.

The Resolution Professional has prepared these financial statements using going concern basis of accounting based on their assessment of the successful outcome of the ongoing CIRP and accordingly no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities and their presentation and classification in the Balance Sheet.

Such events and conditions, along with the matters described in the section of Disclaimer of Opinion in our report, and their possible impact on erstwhile managements assumptions, and other matters as set forth in note 1, indicate that material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. In the absence of sufficient and appropriate evidence, we are unable to comment as to whether the going concern basis for the preparation of these financial statements taken by the Resolution Professional is appropriate.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Except for the matters discussed in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion Paragraph, there are no other Key Audit Matters to be communicated in the Auditors Report.

Responsibility of Management for the standalone financial statements

The Company has been under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ("CIRP") under the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 ("the Code") vide order dated 2nd November 2023 passed by the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"). The powers of the Board of Directors stand suspended as per Section 17 of the Code and such powers were being exercised by the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) appointed by the NCLT by the said order under the provisions of the Code. As per Section 20 of the Code, the management and operations of the Company were being managed by the Interim Resolution Professional Mr. Arun Kapoor upon commencement of CIRP. Subsequently, vide order dated 29th April 2024 passed by NCLT, the IRP Mr. Arun Kapoor was replaced by Resolution Professional (RP) Mr. Gajesh Labhchand Jain who is now responsible for the management and operations of the Company.

The management is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Under Section 20 of the Code, it is incumbent upon the Resolution Professional to manage the operations of the Company as a going concern upon initiation of CIRP and the financial statements which have been prepared on going concern basis have been considered by the Resolution Professional accordingly.

The management is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the accompanying standalone financial statements in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, and to issue an auditors report.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

Disclaimer of Opinion

We were engaged to audit the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Compuage Infocom Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

We do not express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company. Because of the significance of the matters described in the "Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion" section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

The system of internal financial controls over financial reporting with regard to the Company were not made available to us to enable us to determine if the Company has established adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and whether such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31s1 March 2024 due to reasons as stated in Note 1 of the financial statements.

Managements responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit conducted in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chaileied Accountants of India.

However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate
