AUDITORS AND AUDITORS REPORT
Statutory Auditors and Auditors Report
Based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors, Members of the Company at the 39th Annual General Meeting held on September 30, 2023, appointed M/s. N N K & Co, Chartered Accountants (Firm Registration No.143291W) as the Statutory Auditors for the term of 5 (five) years commencing from the Financial Year 2023- 24 to the Financial Year 2027- 28. The Members authorized the Board to finalize the terms and conditions of re appointment, including remuneration of the Statutory Auditor, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee.
M/s. N N K & Co, Chartered Accountants (Firm Registration No.143291W), has given consent and eligibility certificate for appointments as the Statutory Auditors of the Company.
The Notes on Financial Statements referenced in the Auditors Report are self- explanatory. However, for the Financial Year 2025- 26, the Statutory Auditors Report does contain certain qualifications.
Apart from the specific matters highlighted below, no instances of fraud have been reported by the Statutory Auditors under Section 143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013, during the period under review. The Statutory Auditors have expressed an unmodified opinion concerning the adequacy and operational effectiveness of the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting.
In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the Board of Directors provides the following explanation and context in response to the qualified opinion and remarks qualified by the Statutory Auditors in their Report:
? Historical Context & Sectoral Crisis: The Company, while actively engaged in the business of Leasing & Hire Purchase, suffered severe financial setbacks between 1995 and 1997. During this window, widespread borrower defaults occurred, coinciding with a systemic liquidity crisis across the entire financial services industry. Due to a subsequent freeze on funding by banks and a acute paucity of the Companys internal funds, operational revival could not be achieved.
? Disproportionate Interest Calculation: The qualification raised by the Auditors relates to an accumulated interest amount of Rs. 17,156.31 lakhs. This liability has been computed from the year 1997 onwards at an exorbitant rate of 18% per annum, compounded quarterly.
? Principal Exposure: Management wishes to draw the attention of the stakeholders to the fact that the underlying principal amount of the loan in question is only approximately Rs. 70 lakhs. The ballooned liability is entirely a function of the compounding penal interest rate applied over the years, which the Company continues to contest and address.
