The Auditors comments on the Companys account are self-explanatory in nature and do not require any explanation. Further, there is no qualification, reservation, adverse remark or disclaimer given by the Auditors in their reports. The Auditors of the Company have not reported any fraud in terms of the second proviso to Section 143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013 and therefore no detail is required to be disclosed under Section 134 (3)(ca) of the Companies Act, 2013.
However, the Auditors have included certain observations by way of -Emphasis of Matter , which do not modify their opinion. In accordance with good governance practices, the Board hereby provides its response to each matter:
1. "The companys trade receivables (classified as unsecured and considered good by the management & Net of Provisions) are carried at Rs. 1792.48 lakhs, out of which Rs.1387.54 lakhs are outstanding for a period more than six months, which is abnormally high as compared to the turnover of the company. Also out of the above, receivables of Rs. 557.16 lakhs are aged more than three years. The balances of these parties are subject to confirmation, and as per the management of the company is recoverable."
Managements Reply to Observation: Based on the Management analysis and assumptions, the trade receivables are considered good and are recoverable in nature. The companys trade receivables consist of outstanding balances from over 3000 parties, spread across various remote locations within the operational area of the Company and are generally low in value individually, since the supply chain of the company largely consists of small retailers, who were severely impacted by the post pandemic effects and now by slow market pace. The Management is making full efforts to recover these trade receivables. Hence, management does not believe there is any material financial impact of the observation.
2. "We draw attention to a petition filed by a shareholder under Sections 241, 242, and 244 of the Companies Act, 2013, alleging oppression and mismanagement by the current Board of Directors. This petition is currently pending before the National Company Law Tribunal, Allahabad Bench. The outcome of this matter is uncertain, and as stated in the said note, the management does not anticipate any impact on the Company at this time".
Managements Reply to Observation: This observation is self-explanatory.
3. -The companys records relating to the WIP stock are not commensurate with the magnitude of data involved, as more than 30 job workers and 4 different stages are engaged in the process. According to management, a system for data maintenance is currently under development. Additionally, we have not verified the physical inventory and have relied upon the physical verification reports provided by the management in this behalf. The value of the total inventory is abnormally high compared to the turnover, and there is no proper record of the ageing of the inventory. As a result, non-moving or obsolete inventory could not be ascertained".
Managements Reply to Observation: Further, the Company manufactures various products like Vest, Underwear (including Boxers, Briefs & Trunks), Brassiere, Panties, Socks, T-shirts, Thermals, Lowers, Jeans etc. for men, women & children in different sizes for all age groups and markets it through various brands like Lycot Australia , -Jet , -Jet Eco , -Fresh- Long , -Boski and -Take- off . This huge product line under various brand names is to cater the customers needs which usually vary from affordable to luxury range which helps company to stay relevant & competitive in ever changing business environment. Due to above facts, companys inventory stays high at most of the times. A new system for improved inventory tracking and WIP accounting is under development, and the Management is committed to further strengthening inventory controls.
4. -Further, the company had been sanctioned a new Skill Development Project under Deen Dayal Upadhyay Grameen Kaushalya Yojna (DDU GKY Scheme) of Assam State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ASRLM) to train 1000 Candidates in projects (Rural Youth as defined in guidelines of DDU-GKY) with placement linkage by setting up a training/skill center at Majuli and Karimganj for the State of Assam.We did not audit the financial statements and other financial information, in respect of this scheme. Amounts received and expanded under this scheme is subject to audit by a separate auditor, which financial statement and other financial information and auditors reports for the year ended on 31.03.2025 have been furnished to us by the management. As informed by the management there was no further progress so status quo was maintained. Our opinion on the financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this scheme and our report in terms of sub-sections (3) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid scheme is based solely on the report of such other auditor.
Managements Reply to Observation: This observation is self-explanatory.
