We do not express an opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company. Because of the significance of the matter 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 this standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

(a) We draw attention to Note No. 38 and 45 of the financial statement regarding commencement of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Act, 2016 and appointment of Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) to carry function as mentioned under the Code. Consequently, the powers of Board stand suspended and are exercised by the IRP in line with the provisions of the Code. Subsequent to issue of public announcement by IRP, the claims submitted by the financial and operational creditors have been collated by the IRP and no accounting adjustment has been carried out for any excess, short or non-receipt of claims from operational and financial creditors.

(b) We draw attention to Note No. 17(B)(2) and 17(B)(3) of financial statement regarding default in repayment of loans and interest to banks (including ARC) owing to which the banks have classified the account as NPA and recalled its loans and has initiated various legal actions for recovery of its dues including legal action initiated under SARFESI Act, The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institution Act, 1993. The outstanding loans, credit balances and interest due to banks (including ARC) amounting to Rs. 17710.38 lacs and adhoc / repayment of loan amount to an asset reconstruction company (ARC) of Rs. 1405.61 lacs for which no confirmation/ statements have been provided to us are subject to reconciliation and subsequent adjustments.

(c) Refer Note No. 9(a) and (b) of financial statement regarding non-provision of the expected credit loss/ impairment relating to overdue Trade Receivables of Rs. 69775.76 Lacs as per the requirement of Ind- AS 109 "Financial Instruments". In view of defaults in payment obligations by the Trade Receivables on due date, non-recoveries from Trade Receivables, nonreceipt of confirmations/ reconciliation from Trade receivables, initiation of legal action/ suits against Trade Receivables by the company, notices/ summon to the Company from Enforcement Directorate, Reserve Bank of India, Development Commissioner of Surat SEZ and in absence of clear forward looking information regarding outcome of pending legal actions initiated and time frame and quantum of realisability of these Trade receivables, we are unable to determine the amount of expected credit loss/ impairment based on provision matrix as per the requirements of Ind-AS 109 "Financial Instruments" and its consequential impact, on the financial results.

(d) Trade payables and other payables amounting to Rs. 29717.66 lacs are outstanding since long for which neither any confirmation have been provided nor are we aware of any legal action initiated by the vendors against the Company. In absence of current status and relevant details, we are unable to comment on the payment obligation in this regard and its consequential impact on the financial statements.

(e) Refer Note No. 17(B)(2) regarding default in repayment of loans taken from the banks and non-provision of interest on such loans and consequently based on the calculation done by the management total interest amounting to Rs. 20979.19 Lacs determined at estimated rates, have not been provided for in the books of accounts including interest amounting to Rs. 2730.80 Lacs for year ended on March 31,2023. Accordingly, finance cost for the year ended on March 31,2023 is understated by Rs. 2730.80 lacs.

(f) Refer Note No. 9(b), 18(b) and 5(a) of the financial statement wherein, the company has not translated following monetary items denominated in foreign currency as at year ended closing rate and has been carried forward at the rate as at 31st March 2015, 31st March 2016, and / or 31st March 2017, which is not in accordance with Ind-AS -21 "The Effect of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" and accounting policy followed by the Company.

i. Trade receivable amounting to Rs. 69,703.18 lacs

ii. Trade payables and other payable amounting to Rs. 29717.66 lacs

iii. Loans to subsidiary (including accrued interest) amounting to Rs. 2062.30 lacs

The company has not provided for cumulative exchange gain (net) on the above items amounting to Rs. 12793.91 lacs including exchange gain of Rs. 4361.32 lacs pertaining to the year ended on March 31, 2023 respectively. Accordingly, exchange gain is understated by Rs. 4361.32 for the year ended March 31,2023.

(g) The Company has made provision for expected credited loss of Rs. 812.35 Lacs against the interest receivable on loan from a subsidiary and has recognized loss of Rs. 49.00 lacs on current investment designated through FVTPL. No deferred tax assets thereon amounting to Rs. 216.79 lacs have been recognized which is not in accordance with Ind AS-12 "Income Taxes.

Had the exchange difference as stated in para (f) above and deferred tax thereon and interest on loans as stated in para (e) above been provided, the loss before tax for the year would have been decreased by Rs. 1630.52 Lacs respectively. Consequently, the overstatement and understatement of assets and liabilities are as under: -

( Rs. In Lakh)

Head of Assets/ Liabilities Assets Liabilities
Under statement Over Statement Under statement Over statement
Trade Receivables (exchange gain) 19707.68 - - -
Trade Payables (exchange loss) - - 7407.54 -
Non-Current financial assets 336.77 - - -
Current Financial Assets 158.46 - - -
Borrowings 20979.19
Current financial liabilities 1.46
Deferred Tax Liability - - 197.66 -
Other Equity - - - 8382.93
Total 20202.91 - 28585.84 8382.93

Due to uncertainties with respect to settlement of bank dues and interest, adjustments of trade receivables and payables and its consequential impact on taxation thereof, we are unable to ascertain the tax impact and liability, on the financial results.

(h) Refer Note No. 5(b) and 41 (c) of the financial statement, no provision for the expected credit loss/ impairment on loan to a subsidiary amounting to Rs. 1249.95 Lacs has been recognized as per the requirement of Ind- AS 109 "Financial Instruments". The net worth of above subsidiary is negative and based on reasonable and supportable information regarding the current financial status and business condition of the subsidiary, there has been significant increase in credit risk and there could be delay/default in recovery of this amount. Considering the above, we are unable to comment on the amount of expected credit loss/ impairment and its consequential impact, on the financial results.

(i) The Inventory has been taken on the basis of physical verification carried out by the management (including inventory lying with franchisees on approval basis) as at the year end and its valuation is based on determination of estimated net realizable value and specific identification which involves technical judgment of management. In the absence of any valuation by an independent expert, we have relied upon by the physical verification and valuation of the Inventory as certified and determined by the management.

(j) Refer Note No. 41(b) of the financial statement regarding investment of Rs. 2.03 lacs in its subsidiary namely M.B. Diamonds LLC and Rs. 7.44 lacs in its subsidiary namely Goenka Diamond and Jewels DMCC, the net-worth of these subsidiaries is negative. The Company has not made any provision for Impairment against these investments and advance.

(k) Balances with Banks amounting to Rs. 1.55 lacs (debit balances), Other non-current deposits amounting to Rs. 13.23 lacs, other current assets (balance with government authorities) amounting to Rs. 32.48 lacs, Other Current Assets and Liabilities are subject to confirmations and consequential adjustment thereof.

(l) The company has made provision for Impairment of Residential flat/office building at Jaipur having gross block of Rs. 19.72 lacs (WDV of Rs. 5.34 lacs), for which the company neither has possession of such assets nor have any title deeds/ agreement.

Material Uncertainty related to going concern

The Companys operating results have been materially affected due to various factors including non-realization of unconfirmed Trade receivables, defaults in repayment of loans and interest to banks, non-availability of finance due to recall of loans by banks in consortium, legal actions/ insolvency proceedings initiated by banks against company for recovery of its dues, notices/ summon to company/director(s) from Enforcement Directorate, Reserve Bank of India, Development Commissioner of Surat SEZ and from other regulatory authorities, commencement of CIRP proceedings as stated in Note No. 1, Debt Recovery Tribunals and other courts for recovery of banks dues and possession/attachment/sale of companys properties, assignment and transfer of dues in favor of an asset reconstruction company (ARC), pending income tax demands and consequent attachment of bank accounts by Income tax department, reliance on occasional sales for meeting out expenses, overall substantial decrease in volume of business and sales, non-payment of statutory dues and taxes, overdue unconfirmed trade payable, non-realization of loan and interest thereon from a subsidiary etc. We are also unable to determine the impact of actions and forthcoming actions that may be taken by various legal and statutory authorities due to various factors mentioned herein above. 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 the companys ability to raise adequate finance from alternative means, settlement of its due from banks and ARC, outcome of CIRP process and recoveries from overseas Trade Receivables to meet its short term and long term obligations as well as to establish consistent business operation. The above situation indicates that material uncertainty exist that cast significant doubt on companys ability to continue as a going concern.

Because of the significance of the matters described above in the "Basis of Disclaimer of Opinion" section of our report, absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidences and Material uncertainty related to Going Concern paragraph above, it is not possible to form an opinion on the financial statements due to the potential interaction of the multiple uncertainties and their possible cumulative effect on the financial statements. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the financial statements.

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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of un-authorised 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.
