INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Members of
NEWEVER TRADING WINGS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of Financial Statements
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of NEWEVER TRADING WINGS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2024, 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 a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2024, and its loss, total comprehensive income, its changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our qualification is in respect of the matters described under Key Audit Matters, which also form an integral part of this opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Statutory Non-Compliance: The Company has not complied with certain provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 and other applicable laws during the year, including:
Non-holding of Annual General Meeting within the prescribed time.
Non-filing/delay in filing of statutory returns and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies.
Non-compliance with various SEBI LODR requirements relating to timely submission of quarterly results, corporate governance reporting, and publication of notices.
Delay in Signing of Audit Report: This audit report for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 is being signed on the current date in 2025. While conducting this audit, we have considered the requirements of SA 560 Subsequent Events, and taken into account certain events and transactions that occurred between 1 April 2024 and the date of signing this report. The above delays constitute non-compliance with the Act and SEBI regulations, which may attract regulatory actions.
The Company, a listed entity, has not filed its financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) or made requisite submissions to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) since the financial year ended 31 March 2017 and has not filed its income tax returns from the financial year 2019-20 onwards.
The last audited financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with the previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India ("Indian GAAP") several years ago. No audited financial statements have been prepared for the intervening periods. The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 are the first to be prepared in accordance with Ind AS, with the transition date being 1 April 2015.
Due to the absence of audited financial information for the intervening years and incomplete accounting records for certain historical periods in compliance with IND AS, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding:
The opening balances as at 1 April 2015 (Ind AS transition date) and as at 1 April 20[..] (comparative year).
Here is a clear, point-by-point transcription of the text visible in the image:
The completeness, accuracy, and existence of certain prior period transactions and balances carried forward into the current years financial statements.
Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of these matters.
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 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act; and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. The Statutory Audit for the FY 2015-16 was conducted in accordance with Indian GAAP (IGAAP), and the audited financial statements were duly filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and submitted to SEBI.
Since the Company is a listed entity, it was required to transition its financial statements from IGAAP to Ind AS in compliance with statutory requirements. Accordingly, the opening balances as of the Ind AS transition date were restated, and subsequent financial years have also been prepared in compliance with Ind AS.
Although the financial statements for FY 2016-17 were already audited by the previous statutory auditor under IGAAP, the management, in compliance with statutory requirements, has requested us to carry out an audit of the Ind AS restated financials for that year as well. This ensures consistency and comparability of the financial statements under the Ind AS framework.
"The matters described under Key Audit Matters form an integral part of our basis for qualification."
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to the Key Audit Matter of the report, which indicates that the Company has not complied with statutory filing requirements with ROC, SEBI, Income Tax authorities and other statutory authorities for multiple years and has not maintained continuous audited records. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Further, the Company has been incurring continuous losses and its business operations and transactions have remained largely suspended for several years. These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Loans And Advances, Trade Receivables, and Trade Payables
The balances of loans and advances, trade receivables, and trade payables are subject to reconciliation and have not been confirmed by the respective parties. Consequently, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the accuracy, completeness, and existence of these balances.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the fact that these restated standalone Ind AS financial statements are prepared subsequent to their original audit under IGAAP, and our audit report does not supersede the earlier audit report issued under IGAAP but provides an opinion only on the restated Ind AS financial statements.
Our opinion is qualified in respect of this matter.
1. Adjournment of Annual General Meeting: The Company adjourned the Annual General Meeting to finalize the accounts, as the corporate office was taken over by ICICI Bank under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act.
2. We draw attention to the fact that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company for certain earlier years could not be held within the time prescribed under the Companies Act, .2013, as the financial statements were not ready for adoption. The Company has subsequently filed for condonation /regularisation with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), and the delay has been regularised. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements. In this case, the Key Audit Matters described below are also matters that have led to our Qualified Opinion.
1. Losses, Net Worth Erosion, and Going Concern
The Company has incurred substantial losses and its net worth has been completely eroded.
No revenue-generating activity has been carried out during the financial year 201718.
Management has prepared the accounts on a going concern basis, though significant uncertainty exists.
We considered this matter to be of most significance as it impacts the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and directly forms the basis of our qualified opinion.
2. Preparation of Financial Statements after Extended Non-compliance with Regulatory Filing Requirements:
Description of matter:
The Company, a listed entity, has not filed its financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) or made the requisite submissions to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) since the financial year ended 31 March 2015. Further, the Company has also not filed income tax returns from the financial year 201819 onwards. The current years financial statements are prepared under the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") for the first time, with the transition date being 1 April 2015.
These circumstances indicate significant regulatory non-compliance and potential legal consequences. They also raise questions about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, given the absence of timely and accurate financial reporting for multiple years.
How the matter was addressed in the audit:
Evaluated managements assessment of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, including assessment of available financial resources, operational status, and ongoing litigations.
Examined correspondence with regulatory authorities and legal advisors regarding the non-compliances and potential penalties.
Considered whether adequate disclosures have been made in the financial statements regarding these matters.
3. First-time Adoption of Ind AS after Significant Gap in Financial Reporting
Description of matter:
The Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with Ind AS for the first time, with the transition date being 1 April 2015. The last audited financial statements, filed several years ago, were prepared under Indian GAAP. There has been no continuous audited financial information since then. The opening Ind AS balances have been prepared using managements reconstruction of financial records for the intervening years, based on available supporting documents and management estimates.
Given the long gap, the completeness and accuracy of historical financial data, as well as the appropriateness of adjustments made for Ind AS transition, involve significant management judgment and estimation.
How the matter was addressed in the audit:
[Text cuts off at the bottom of the page]
If you want, I can:
Analyze the specific impact of the complete net worth erosion mentioned here.
Explain how an auditor validates "reconstructed" financial records during an Ind AS transition.
Compile all your transcribed pages into a single, cohesive document.
Let me know how you would like to proceed.
Here is a clear, point-by-point transcription of the text visible in the image:
Evaluated the process and assumptions used by management for reconstructing historical financial information and Ind AS transition adjustments.
Verified selected historical transactions and balances on a test-check basis with available supporting documentation.
Assessed whether the Ind AS 101 "First-time Adoption" adjustments have been made in accordance with the standard.
Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures relating to transition and limitations in historical data.
4. Limitation of Audit Scope due to Unavailability of Sufficient Appropriate Audit Evidence for Prior Periods
Description of matter:
Due to the absence of audited financial statements for several prior years and incomplete accounting records for certain historical periods, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of opening balances and certain comparative financial information. This has resulted in a limitation on the scope of our audit, particularly in relation to verification of prior period figures and the opening equity position at the Ind AS transition date.
How the matter was addressed in the audit:
Performed alternative audit procedures, including review of available bank statements, statutory records, and board resolutions where feasible.
Assessed the impact of the scope limitation on the current years audit opinion and included a separate "Basis for Qualified Opinion" paragraph accordingly.
5. Key Audit MatterSignificant Write-off and Write-back of Loans, Sundry Creditors, and Debtors
Description of the matter:
During the year, the Company has recorded significant write-offs of certain loan balances and sundry debtor balances, and write-backs of sundry creditor balances in the Statement of Profit and Loss. These adjustments were made based on managements assessment of recoverability and obligations.
The amounts involved are material to the financial statements. Such write-offs and write-backs require significant management judgement in assessing recoverability of receivables, existence and validity of liabilities, and the appropriateness of derecognising financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" and Ind AS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets."
There is a risk that such adjustments may not be supported by adequate documentary evidence and may not comply with the recognition and measurement principles of the applicable accounting standards, or may involve management bias in financial reporting.
How the matter was addressed in the audit:
Our audit procedures included, among others:
Obtaining a detailed schedule of all loan, debtor, and creditor balances written off or written back during the year, and reconciling them with the general ledger.
Evaluating the business rationale for the write-offs and write-backs, including review of correspondence in some cases and board approvals where applicable.
For receivables written off, assessing whether the Company had taken all reasonable steps for recovery and whether such balances met the criteria for derecognition under Ind AS 109.
For liabilities written back, verifying the absence of present obligations by reviewing correspondence with the parties and other relevant documentation, and assessing compliance with Ind AS 37.
Evaluating the adequacy and completeness of related disclosures in the financial statements, including the accounting policy, nature, and quantum of such adjustments.
Based on the procedures performed, we assessed the reasonableness of managements judgements and the appropriateness of the accounting treatment of such write-offs and write-backs.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Ind AS and the provisions of the Act, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that 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 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.
Those charged with governance are 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 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:
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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has 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.
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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. As required by section 143(3) of the Act, based on our audit we report that:
2. a. We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit except as stated in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above.

However on our enquiry, the management informed that the KYC of the directors will be updated in MCA.

Accordingly, this constitutes a limitation on the scope of our work and forms part of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above.

v. With respect to the Final Dividend:
We are unable to comment whether the final dividend, if any, proposed in the previous year and declared and paid by the Company during the year is in accordance with section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013, as applicable, due to the absence of adequate statutory records, minutes of Annual General Meeting, and supporting documentation.

Due to such statutory non-compliances and the absence of adequate and continuous accounting records, we are unable to comment whether:

Annexure "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements section of our report to the Members of NEWEVER TRADING WINGS LIMITED of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of NEWEVER TRADING WINGS LIMITED ("the Company") as of 31 March 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion" paragraph below, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2024, based on the criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by ICAI.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for:
Timely statutory compliance and maintenance of statutory records.
Proper documentation and verification of certain transaction.
Conduct of physical verification of assets.
These weaknesses could result in material misstatements in the Companys financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Board of Directors of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
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.
(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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 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.
