Emphasis of Matter Paragraph
We draw attention to following matters forming part of the notes to financial statements:
1. The company has undisputed liability in respect of income tax for the assessment year 2020-21 amounting to Rs. 88 Lakhs plus applicable interest. The company had not paid any amount towards this liability and the said amount of liability is adjusted against the income tax refund of subsequent year i.e. 2021-22 onwards. The net liability as per books of accounts is Rs. 42.64 Lakhs. The said amount is subject to reconciliation.
2. Kind attention is invited to Note No. 5 "Long-Term Borrowings" and 6 "Short-Term Borrowings" of the notes on accounts for the half year and year ended 31/03/2025, which represent the Term loan from Banks and NBFCs. Such amount includes an amount of Rs. 337.71 Lakhs, being loan from Deutsche Bank for which the company during the year has entered into a onetime settlement and agreed to pay sum of Rs. 267.00 Lakhs loan which is duly repaid during the year.
3. Kind attention is invited to Note No. 11 "Non-Current Investments" of the notes on accounts for the half year and year ended 31/03/2025, which represent the non-current investment. Such amount includes an amount of Rs. 250.00 Lakhs, being the investment in immovable property. The said property was held in the name of director and the company has entered into an agreement to sale such property through its director. The same is transferred to director loan account.
4. The Amount of Rs. 60.26 Lakhs, shown as an "Extraordinary Item" represent the amount written off due to a one-time settlement of GECL loan from Deutsche Bank.
5. For the half year and year ending on 31st March 2025, the company has total outstanding dues amounting to Rs. 210.30 Lakhs to the Micro and Small Enterprises, which qualify as per the definition given in the MSMED Act, 2006. Out of the said amount of 123.81 Lakhs, the company issued cheques to the parties, which are subject to clearance of such cheques.
6. As per the statutory dues of GST, there is an outstanding GST demand amounting to ?273.41 lakhs. This demand has arisen from the tax period under review and pertains to issues. However, the said demand is currently under appeal, and necessary proceedings have been initiated before the appropriate appellate authority. The matter is sub judice, and the outcome of the appeal will determine the final liability. Further the company during the year had paid an amount of 26.76 lakhs on account of liability of GST.
7. During past years, the Company had given various capital advances totalling to INR 1,141.24 Lakhs - shown under Short Term Loans & Advances. The management has explained us that these advances were given for the purpose of acquiring of property, however, such acquisition is pending as on balance sheet date. The management is in process of either settling these transactions by acquisition of property, or by squaring off the advances through repayment. We have solely relied on managements representation in this regard (Note 17 to financial results).
8. Certain balances of trade receivables, trade payables, and loans and advances are subject to confirmation, reconciliation, and consequential adjustments, if any. The management has obtained confirmations for some of these balances and is in the process of obtaining the remainder.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" section of our 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 Results 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 ICAIs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial results.
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 statements context of our audit of the financial as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the Key Audit Matters to be communicated in our report.
| Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| Revenue Recognition | Our audit procedures included: |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control of the products being sold is transferred to the customer and when there are no longer any unqualified obligations. The performance obligations in the contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on customer terms. | We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies, including those relating to rebates and discounts by comparing them with applicable accounting standards. |
| Revenue is one of the key profit drivers and is therefore susceptible to misstatement. The cut-off is the key assertion in so far as revenue recognition is concerned since an inappropriate cut-off can result in a material misstatement of results for the year. | We performed substantive testing by selecting samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year by verifying the underlying documents, which included goods dispatch notes and shipping documents. |
| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after the deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services tax, etc. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provisions for discounts and rebates. Revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur. | We performed cut-off testing for samples of revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year-end date by comparing with relevant underlying documentation, which included goods dispatch notes and shipping documents, to assess whether the revenue was recognized in the correct period. |
| We tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls over the calculations of discounts and rebates. | |
| We assessed manual journals posted to revenue to identify unusual items. | |
| Inventory - Valuation | Our audit procedures included: |
| As at March 31, 2025, the Company held inventories of Rs. 2,325.08 Lakhs. [Also, refer to Note No. 14 of the standalone financial statements] | We have performed the following alternative audit procedures over inventory valuations: |
| At the balance sheet date, the value of inventory represents 29.77% of total assets and 58.49% of total equity. Inventories were considered as a key audit matter due to the size of the balance, and it has an element of judgement relating to these provisions which are based on historical evidence and the current economic conditions. The changing trends and economic environment require judgements in respect of provisions to be reassessed at each reporting date. | Ensuring the effectiveness of the design, implementation and maintenance of controls |
| In view of the above, the matter has been determined to be a key audit matter. | over changes in inventory to determine whether the inventory valuation is in accordance with applicable accounting standards and verification of net realizable value. |
| We considered the inventory provision for obsolescence and items to be sold at less than the cost by evaluating: | |
| 1. historical inventory and sales data. | |
| 2. managements latest forecasts; and | |
| 3. selling prices realized subsequent to the year-end. | |
| Performing substantive analytical procedures to test the correctness of inventory valuation. | |
| The procedures performed gave us sufficient evidence to conclude about the inventory valuation |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read such other information as and when made available to us and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to report that fact.
Responsibility of Management and Those Charged with Governance (TCWG)
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for the safeguarding of 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concerned, 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has an adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of managements use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in the aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
