FINANCIAL REVIEW:

The total revenue (net) of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2022, decreased by 61.22% and stood at INR 38.27 Lakhs as against INR 98.69 Lakhs in the previous year. During the year, the Company has incurred loss of INR 1,226.12 Lakhs as against loss of INR 1,408.84 Lakhs in the previous year. The Company has not provided for interest on financing facilities from secured lenders-banks which is yet subject to confirmation and / or settlement, amounting to INR 2,547.97 Lakhs, for the year ended 31st March 2022. Had the same been accounted for; the net loss (after tax), would have been increased by INR 9,767.65 Lakhs for the year ended 31st March, 2022. Hence, the resultant turnover and income for the year under review was lower than that expected by the management.

COVID-19:

The year under review commenced with nationwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has impacted the global economy including the domestic economy. During such challenging times, the Company took an approach of empathy, support and innovativeness to engage with its employee. The Company also took various measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all employees and was ensuring compliance with the directives issued by the Central Government, State Governments and local administration from time to time in this regard.

The Company is engaged in manufacturing of Optical Discs and Solar Photovoltaic Cells.

The Company is trying to recover from the impact of Covid-19 pandemic and continued lockdowns and the revenue of the Company has decreased as compared to previous year.

TRANSFER TO RESERVE:

During the financial year under review, no amount was transferred to Reserve.

STATE OF THE COMPANYS AFFAIRS:

The Company operates in two segments i.e. Opticals Disc and Solar Photovoltaic Cells. Make in Indias campaign, has formed an ideal base for Indias manufacturing segment, but for sustainable growth, India needs to accommodate best prevailing practices followed by established manufacturing countries across the world.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

The performance during the year was not satisfactory due to various reasons beyond the control of the Management. The COVID-19s impact on our lives and economy has been earth shattering. The lockdowns and restrictions have sent the global supply chain in disarray and have halted industrial growth and have brought to the fore the importance of building domestic manufacturing facilities.

FUTURE PROSPECTS:

India today stands among the top five countries in the world in terms of renewable energy capacity, thus your Company projects potential in the future. To catch up with the growing opportunities in the Solar PV Sector the challenge before your Company is to reduce the per unit cost. Hence, there is a continuous need to innovate to increase efficiencies and bring down costs. As the industry being such that the technology and product efficiency upgradation is at faster pace, your Company needs to be at par with international standards for product quality in order to remain competitive in the Market.

On 30th July 2018, going by the recommendations of the Director General of Trade Remedies, the Union Ministry of Finance imposed a 25 per cent Safeguard Duty (SGD) on the imports of solar cells/modules for two years. Moreover, this was lowered in a phased manner. While the duty was 25 per cent for a year, it was 20 per cent for the next six months and for the remaining tenure ending July 2020 it stood at 15 per cent. The import levy was meant to protect local manufacturers from the losses inflicted by cheap, substandard imports.

There is an urgent need therefore, for India to devise a policy framework aimed at creating a diversified domestic manufacturing industry for solar industry as well as ancillary products that could significantly reduce its import dependence, ensure a self-sufficient, sustainable and affordable energy access and generate greater opportunities.

AUDITORS REPORT:

With reference to the observations made by the Statutory Auditors in their Report on the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022 your Directors would like to reply as under:

a. The Companys financial facilities/arrangements including Term Loans, Working Capital Facilities and Non

Fund Based Credit Facilities have expired and the accounts with the Banks have turned into Non Performing Assets.

The Company is unable to renegotiate, restructure or obtain replacement of financing arrangements and the banks have initiated legal proceedings for the recovery from the Company u/s. 19 of the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), u/s. 13(2) of the Securitization & Reconstruction of Financial Assets & Enforcement of Security (Second) Interest (SARFAESI) Act, 2002. In addition to this, the Company has been continuously incurring substantial losses since past few years and as on March 31, 2022, the Companys current liabilities exceed its current assets by Rs. 40,773.08 lakhs. Further, the net-worth of the Company has fully eroded and the Company had filed for registration u/s. 15(1) of the erstwhile Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985, before the erstwhile Honble Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction.

All the above events indicate a material uncertainty that casts a significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial results do not disclose the fact that the fundamental accounting assumption of going concern has not been followed.

Considering the changes and new developments taking place in the solar industry, the management is optimistic about the better opportunity and turnaround of the Company. b. The Company has not provided for interest on banking credit facilities amounting to Rs. 2547.97 lakhs, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and Rs. 9767.65 lakhs, for the year ended March 31, 2022. Had the same been accounted for, the net loss (after tax) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 would have been increased by Rs. 2547.97 lakhs and for the year ended March 31, 2022, would have been increased by Rs. 9767.65 lakhs.

Further, this interest on banking credit facility has not been provided in the books of accounts since financial year 2014-15 and aggregate amount of which is subject to confirmation and reconciliation from banks.

The proceedings of NCLT are ongoing for the Company for the said matter. c. The order of Debt Recovery Tribunal was passed on 27-Nov-2019, wherein it was directed to the Company to clear dues amounting to Rs. 13,971.99 lakhs and interest and penalty within a period of 2 months from the date of order, failing which the Bank will be entitled to sell the hypothecated assets, mortgage properties and other personal movable and immovable properties of the Company and guarantors. The Company received a letter dated 25-Feb-2022, for e-auction of movable and immovable properties on 19-Apr-22. No communication has been received from Debt Recovery Tribunal or any other authority with respect to the success or failure of the process. Also, no action has been taken by the Company till the date of this report and consequential impact is unascertainable.

Application has been filed against the Company by one of the secured financial lender with The Honble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench on June 18, 2020, to initiate Corporate Insolvency and Resolution Process (CIRP), which is pending for final hearing at NCLT. The consequential impact is unascertainable.

The proceedings of NCLT are ongoing for the Company for the said matter. d. The Company has not provided for impairment or diminishing value of its assets as per ‘Indian Accounting

Standard (Ind AS) 36 as specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. The effect of such Impairment or diminishing value has not been quantified by the management and hence the impact of the same is not ascertainable.

The management has a policy to maintain the assets and keep them in working condition, so that its value does not get affected in long run. The management is optimistic about realizing the value of its Assets /

Investments nearest to its carrying amount, and there is no further diminution in the value of its assets/ investment other than depreciation / amortization. e. The financial statements have been prepared with regards to non-receipt of confirmation of balances from few of the debtors, Unsecured Loans, loans & advances, investments, banks, sundry creditors and other liabilities. Pending receipt of confirmation of these balances and consequential reconciliations / adjustments, if any, the resultant impact on the financial statements is not ascertainable.

The Company has policy of confirming balances at least once in a year. However, on account of non-receipt of adequate and timely response, the same is still in process. f. The financial statements are prepared considering non-ascertainment of complete particulars of dues to

Micro, Small and Medium enterprises, if any under MSMED Act, 2006, and provisions towards interest, if any, is not ascertained at this stage which is not in conformity with ‘Ind AS 37-Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

In view of the management, the impact will not be material. g. The Company for its Optical Discs manufacturing unit, had imported various Capital Goods under the Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme (EPCG), of the Government of India, through various licenses, at concessional rates of Custom Duty on an undertaking to fulfill quantified exports within a period of eight years from the date of respective licenses. The Custom Duties so saved amounted to Rs. 2,538.56 lakhs and the corresponding Export obligation to be fulfilled amounted to Rs. 20,308.50 lakhs, however as on March 31, 2022, the Export obligation yet to be fulfilled amounted to Rs. 19,121.60 lakhs. The stipulated period of 8 years to fulfill Export obligation has already expired and the Company is required to pay the said saved Custom Duty together with interest @ 15% p.a. but the same has not been provided in books of accounts by the Company and the final liability is presently unascertainable.

The Company till date has not received any order quantifying the liability. In fact, the management has suo-moto approached the appropriate authorities surrendered the licenses and have lodged the counter claim for extinguishing their liability under the license in view of relevant zero duty notification. Hence the management is optimistic of positive outcome. h. The Company Secretary had resigned from the Company and the Company has not appointed any other person and the position stands vacant till the date of our report and therefore the company is not in compliance with Regulation 6 of LODR which requires Company Secretary to be appointed as Compliance Officer. The Company is a sick unit and also in NCLT. It is difficult for the company to appoint Company Secretary.

i. The Companys Solar Photovoltaic Cells manufacturing unit which is located in self-owned sector specific Special Economic Zone (SEZ). According to the SEZ Rules 2006, the units should have positive Net Foreign Exchange Earning (NFE), which shall be calculated as per applicable rules in cumulative blocks of five years, starting from the commencement of production. The company could not achieve positive Net Foreign Exchange Earnings in the first block of five years, hence the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has imposed a penalty of Rs. 2,500.00 lakhs under Rule 54 of the SEZ Rules 2006, and the same has not been provided in books of accounts by the Company.

The Company had filed an appeal against the Order of honorable DGFT, New Delhi with the Commerce Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and hearings have been completed. After hearing the submissions made on behalf of the Company, Appellant Committee has reserved its order till date.

j. In respect of deposits accepted by the company before the commencement of this Act, within the meaning of section 74 & 75 of the Act and the Rules framed there under, the principal amount of such deposits and interest due thereon remained unpaid even after expiry of one year from such commencement and the Company has not filed a statement within a period of three months from such commencement or from the date on which such payments, are due, with the Registrar details as prescribed u/s.74(1)(a). Further no application has been made for extension of time with the National Company Law Tribunal u/s.74(2) of the Companies Act, 2013 in this regards. Further, the Company has deposits in contravention to Section 73 read with Section 76 of the Companies Act, 2013.

The non-compliances are unintentional and in absence of Whole Time Company Secretary earlier, the compliances were missed out inadvertently. k. Overdue receivables aggregating to Rs. 41.16 lakhs as on March 31, 2022, towards sales of goods included under "Trade Receivables" owed to the Company by its Foreign Customers due for more than 6 months as on March 31, 2022. These balances have not been settled till March 31, 2022. The Company is yet to make an application to the authorized dealer or Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for overdue receivable balances beyond the prescribed time limits in accordance with Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Any penalties that may be levied by RBI are presently not known and not given effect to in the financial statements.

Also, of the total amount receivable, as disclosed in the financial results, amounting to Rs. 65.18 lakhs, provisions for doubtful debts have been created at Rs. 64.42 lakhs. The allowance for bad and doubtful debts have been made based on the estimates and best possible judgement of the Company. The Expected Credit Loss Method as required under Ind AS 109, has not been followed while making provision for doubtful debts. Based on the above, we are unable to comment over the realisability of trade receivables, provisioning and its overall impact on the financial results.

The Company has made an application and initiated the process for compliance as per RBI guidelines. l. Amounts aggregating to Rs. 37.91 lakhs disclosed under Trade Payables, in respect of purchase of traded goods, raw mate rials, spares and consumables from entities outside India, which are outstanding for more than 6 months, which is not in compliance with the Regulations / Guidelines of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. Any penalties that may be levied by the Reserve Bank of India and/or any changes to the disclosure of the amounts in the financial results in thisegard are not presently ascertainable.

The amount is towards material purchased for trading purpose and would be paid as and when demanded by the supplier. m. The Company has borrowings, classified under Non-Current Financial Liabilities, which are borrowed from various related parties and other lenders, the repayment terms of which have not been agreed between the Company and the lenders. The Company has not fair valued such sums received in accordance with the provisions of ‘Ind AS 109 Financial Instrument and ‘Ind AS 113 Fair Value Measurement. The effect of such treatment has not been quantified by the management and hence the same is not ascertainable.

The Company considers the same to be repayable on demand and hence no fair value is required to be done. Also, loans and borrowings are long outstanding and with no repayment terms. n. The Company did not obtain actuarial report and had not made any provision for Gratuity and Leave Encashment for the year. The impact of such non-provisioning of liability is unascertainable on the results and also, relevant disclosures as required under Ind AS 15, Employees Benefit have not been given.

The Company did not obtain such valuation report as the company is a sick unit and majority of the employees have left the company. However, the company has not written off the complete amount as it expects the same to be payable to the employees. o. The Company has on the basis of their internal evaluation, valued inventories at Rs.16.67 lakhs. In the absence of valuation report or other documentary evidence confirming net realizable value of inventories, we are unable to comment on realization value of the inventories.

The inventories have become obsolete, old, expired and unusable. Last year. The management has written off the excess amount of inventory and has kept the inventory at realizable value.

p. The Company has Gratuity liability payable to the employees amounting to Rs. 32.93 lakhs, which are long outstanding. No interest has been provided by the Company over the same during the preparation of financial statements. The effect of such treatment has not been quantified by the management and hence the same not ascertainable.

Most of the employees have left the Company, still the Company believes that claim may arise for such employees. However, on account of losses of the Company and the Company being sick, does not intend to provide for interest. q. 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 control over financial reporting and whether such internal financial controls were operating effectively under (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013.

The management has internal control process in place. However, no risk control matrix has been documented. The management is planning to prepare the same at the earliest.

r. The Company has TDS demand outstanding amounting to Rs. 2.96 lakhs, pertaining to the previous financial years. The Company is in the process of ascertaining the liabilities and rectifying such returns, wherever required. No adjustment has been made for the said sums in thefinancial statements.

The company is in the process of filing rectification returns and or make payments wherever required, if any
