TO
THE MEMBERS OF
MODULEX CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements ("the Statement) of Modulex Construction Technologies Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standard under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended to the extent applicable thereto and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024; and its loss (including other comprehensive income), its Standalone cash flows and the Standalone statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditors responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements" 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 37 in the Standalone Financial Statement, which states that the Company has incurred a net loss in the current year and in the previous year. The Companys current assets as on the date of the balance sheet are not sufficient to meet its current liabilities. The Company is implementing the project at Pune through its subsidiary company (Modulex Modular Buildings Private Limited) and the progress of the project is slow considering the various factors (including the temporary suspension of the project). There is material uncertainty related to the aforementioned conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company continuing as a going concern.
Further, in June 2024, the subsidiary company has received land re-allotment order from MIDC as well as project loan sanction letters from banks and it is expecting an improvement in the performance of the company in the short to medium term. The management is also committed to completing the factory construction project in Indapur, District Pune through its subsidiary company. Considering the achievement
of the reallotment of land and bank sanction letter whereby financial closure has been achieved and further
considering that the promoters are committed to give financial support as and when required by the
Company, therefore the Standalone financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matters
Without Qualifying our opinion, attention is invited to the following: -
a) The total of current liabilities of INR 135.16 lakhs exceeds the total of current assets of INR 4.65 lakhs as at March 31, 2024. Also, the company has incurred a net loss in the current period amount to INR (143.18) lakhs and negative retained earnings amount to INR (632.37) lakhs including the earlier years. This condition would raise substantial doubt about the companys ability to continue its operation for the foreseeable future. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient level of positive cash flows from its future operations and continued financial support of the company.
b) The Company has not deposited the tax deducted at source (TDS) amount of INR 41.83 lakhs (including provision for interest on TDS of INR 10.42 lakhs) payable to the income tax department. The Company has made provision for interest liability arising due to the delay in depositing TDS.
c) The company has shown TDS receivable amount of INR 3.15 lakhs as of 31 March 2024. However, there is uncertainty regarding the recoverability of this amount since the same has not been deposited by the deductor and therefore, it is not reflected in 26AS statement of the company.
d) The Company has not deposited RCM liability of INR 10.89 lakhs as of 31 March 2024 payable to the GST Department. The Company has made provision for interest liability of INR 2.34 Lakhs as of 31 March 2024 arising due to the delay in depositing GST.
e) As stated in Note 33 of the Statement, the Company has carried out the fair value of investment in the subsidiary company (Modulex Modular Buildings Private Limited [MMBPL]) from the two valuers during the year that is sufficient to cover the cost of investments. In June 2024, the subsidiary received land re-allotment order from MIDC as well as project loan sanction letters from banks. The management is also committed to completing the factory construction project in Indapur, District Pune through its subsidiary company.
Considering the above, no impairment is required of investment value in the Subsidiary Company (MMBPL), as the management is committed to complete the construction of the project.
f) Reference is invited to Note 36 of the Statement that the Company is not required to obtain registration as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) as it is neither carrying on any financial activities nor proposing to carry any financial activities as a principal business in future as the revenue generation is mainly affected due to delay in implementing the project by the subsidiary company. However, the Company is taking necessary steps to generate revenue from non-financial assets. This was also confirmed by the consultant of the Company.
Our conclusion is not modified with respect to the above matters.

Other Information
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information comprise the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report 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.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. The Annual report is not made available to us as at the date of this auditors report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity 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.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 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 Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We are also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone 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.
