Remark No.1:
We draw your attention to note no. 33 of Financial Statements regarding the Companys account being declared as Non-Performing Asset (NPA) and received a notice under Section 13(4) of Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (the Act) for symbolic attachment of properties. The company has incurred an overall operational loss; however, due to the recognition of notional profit, the company has reported an overall profit in the current quarter. The Company has accumulated losses which exceed its net worth at the balance sheet date resulting in negative net worth and due to blockage of bank accounts, revenue from operation during the current year is nil. During the FY 2020- 21, the Company has also closed all its branches except Mumbai branch, had written off/ sold fixed assets located at such branches and has also laid off maximum employees across all branches since the business operations are nil. Further, the Company has also received summons from Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) Mumbai applied by all the three lender banks.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors has taken note of the observations made by the Statutory Auditors with respect to Note No. 33 of the Financial Statements regarding the Companys loan accounts having been classified as Non-Performing Assets (NPA) and the receipt of notice under Section 13(4) of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 ("SARFAESI Act") in respect of symbolic attachment of the properties of the Company.
The Board further acknowledges that the Company continues to face severe financial and operational constraints. Although the Company has incurred an operational loss during the current quarter/year, the Financial Statements reflect an overall profit primarily on account of recognition of certain notional/non-operating income. The said profit does not represent any corresponding improvement in the Companys operating cash flows or business operations.
The accumulated losses of the Company have exceeded its net worth as at the balance sheet date, resulting in a negative net worth. Further, due to restrictions/blockage of the Companys bank accounts and the prevailing financial constraints, the Company has not generated any revenue from operations during the current financial year.
The Board further states that, in view of the continued non-availability of business operations, the Company had, during FY 2020-21, closed all its branches except the Mumbai branch, disposed of/written off the fixed assets pertaining to such branches and rationalised its workforce by laying off a substantial number of employees.
The Board has also taken note of the summons/notices received from the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Mumbai, in proceedings initiated by all three lending banks in respect of the outstanding dues of the Company.
The Board is conscious of the financial difficulties being faced by the Company and is continuing to evaluate and pursue appropriate measures for resolution of the outstanding liabilities and restoration of the financial position of the Company, subject to the availability of resources and the outcome of the proceedings with the concerned lenders and authorities.
The Board has noted the above observations and disclosures and confirms that the same have been appropriately considered and disclosed in the Financial Statements.
Remark No.2:
As informed by the Management, properties situated in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai were auctioned by the Bank following non-payment of dues, despite issuance of demand notices. The possession of these properties had been voluntarily handed over to the Bank. However, as of 31st March 2026, information regarding the auction proceeds through banks remains unavailable. Accordingly, the accounting adjustment between the outstanding borrowings and the value of assets sold were accounted in current year. However, properties belonging to Brent Properties Investment Pvt. Ltd. and Cheshire Properties Investment Pvt. Ltd., which were invoked under corporate guarantees, auctioned by Indian Bank for Rs.4.56 crore each. These transactions were identified through the respective Form 26AS statement of F.Y. 2024-25. Furthermore, in the year, Companys properties invoked under collateral securities, were auctioned by Indian Bank for Rs. 9.03 crore, which company became aware of the transactions through the respective Form 26AS statements. In the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2026, as it arises from non-recurring transactions relating to the disposal of property assets by bank.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors, based on the information and explanations provided by the Management, notes that certain properties of the Company situated at Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai were auctioned by the Bank pursuant to nonpayment of outstanding dues, despite issuance of demand notices. The possession of the said properties had been voluntarily handed over to the Bank.
The Board further notes that, as at 31st March, 2026, the Company had not received complete information from the Bank regarding the auction proceeds and the consequential adjustment thereof against the outstanding borrowings. Accordingly, based on the information available and the accounting principles applicable to such transactions, the necessary accounting adjustment between the outstanding borrowings and the value of the assets disposed of has been recognized in the financial statements for the year under review.
The Board also notes that the properties belonging to Brent Properties Investment Private Limited and Cheshire Properties Investment Private Limited., which had been invoked pursuant to corporate guarantees, were auctioned by Indian Bank for Rs. 4.56 crore each. The Company became aware of these transactions through the respective Form 26AS statements for the Financial Year 2024-25.
Further, during the year under review, certain properties of the Company, which had been invoked under collateral securities, were auctioned by Indian Bank for an aggregate consideration of Rs. 9.03 crore. The Company became aware of these transactions through the respective Form 26AS statements.
The Board confirms that the aforesaid transactions are non-recurring in nature and relate to the disposal/realisation of property assets by the Bank pursuant to enforcement of security interests. The consequential accounting impact arising from such transactions has been appropriately considered and recognized in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2026, based on the information available with the Company.
Remark No.3:
For the year ended 31st March 2026, the company incurred a loss of Rs.90.25 lakhs for the quarter and profit of Rs.434.50 for the year ended 31st March 2026. The company reported an overall profit primarily due to the recognition of Exceptional Items amounting to a notional gain of Rs. 803.39 lakhs. This gain represents the notional profit arising from the auction of office premises conducted by the bank. Although the company incurred an operational loss during the year, the inclusion of this notional profit under Exceptional Items has resulted in the presentation of an overall profit in the financial statements. The Company has not made any provision for tax on account of the auction of the property by the bank as part of the collateral security. The management has relied on Income Tax judgments wherein it was held that capital gains tax is not applicable in cases where the capital asset is appropriated towards the security/ guarantee provided, and the consideration is not received by the property owner. Consequently, the precise impact on the companys profitability and net worth cannot be reliably assessed at this stage.
Comment of Board of Directors:
For the year ended 31st March, 2026, the Company incurred a loss of Rs.90.25 lakhs during the quarter ended 31st March, 2026. However, for the financial year ended 31st March, 2026, the Company has reported a profit of Rs. 434.50 lakhs.
The profit reported for the financial year is primarily attributable to the recognition of an Exceptional Item amounting to Rs.803.39 lakhs, representing a notional gain arising pursuant to the auction of the Companys office premises conducted by the bank in enforcement of the collateral security provided to the bank. The said gain is non-operational and does not represent cash inflow or profit generated from the Companys business operations.
The Company continued to incur operational losses during the year. Accordingly, excluding the aforesaid exceptional and notional gain, the Companys financial performance continues to reflect an operational loss.
Further, the Company has not made any provision for tax in respect of the aforesaid gain arising from the auction of the property by the bank. The Management has relied upon certain judicial precedents under the Income-tax Act, wherein it has been held that capital gains tax may not arise in circumstances where a capital asset is appropriated towards discharge of a security/guarantee obligation and the consideration is not received by the owner of the property.
In view of the nature of the transaction and the prevailing legal position, the Management is of the view that no provision for tax is presently required in respect of the aforesaid transaction. However, the ultimate tax implications, if any, are subject to the final determination by the tax authorities and applicable judicial interpretation.
Consequently, the precise impact of the aforesaid transaction on the Companys profitability, tax liability and net worth cannot be reliably determined at this stage.
Remark No.4:
Bank of Maharashtra, Indian Bank and Union Bank of India have declared the company, promoters, directors and corporate guarantors as wilful defaulters, the management of the company has represented against the same.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors notes that Bank of Maharashtra, Indian Bank and Union Bank of India have declared the Company, its Promoters, Directors and Corporate Guarantors as "Wilful Defaulters" in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework. The Management of the Company has represented against the said declarations/classification and has taken appropriate steps before the concerned authorities/banks for reconsideration of the matter.
The Board further notes that the matter is under representation/review, and the Company is pursuing the same in accordance with the applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
Remark No.5:
During the previous financial year, the Company has deposited Rs.175 lacs in "non-lien account" with Indian Bank as a onetime settlement out of proposed amount of Rs. 22.81 crores including realization from auction of the above- mentioned properties.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors informed that, during the previous financial year, the Company deposited an amount of Rs. 175 lakhs in a "Non-Lien Account" maintained with Indian Bank, as part of the proposed One-Time Settlement ("OTS") of the Companys outstanding dues amounting to approximately Rs. 22.81 crores, which is proposed to be settled, inter alia, through the realization proceeds from the auction of the aforesaid properties.
The Board further stated that the amount deposited represents part payment towards the proposed settlement and that the Company is taking necessary steps for completion of the OTS process with the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions as may be finally agreed upon with the Bank.
Remark No.6:
Considering such factors and based on the evidence obtained during the audit, we have reassessed the Companys assessment of going concern. The audit evidence supports managements use of the going concern basis of accounting in the financial statements, and therefore, we find it appropriate. The financial statements reflect a reasonable and fair assessment in line with the available documentation.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board took note of the Auditors assessment regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Board considered the relevant circumstances, managements assessment, and the supporting documentation and evidence available in this regard.
After due consideration and deliberation, the Board concurred with managements assessment that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements. The Board further noted that, based on the information and evidence available, the financial statements present a reasonable and fair assessment of the Companys financial position and affairs.
The Board accordingly noted the Auditors observations and confirmed that the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis in accordance with the applicable accounting principles and available supporting evidence.
Remark No.7:
The Company had made aggregate provision of Rs. 3,953.81 lakhs for doubtful debtors (expected credit loss) as of March 31,2026 relating to export sales. The Management has not approached RBI & FEMA for approval of writing off the said amount from books of accounts. In the absence of any information regarding penal consequences, we are unable to comment on the impact of the same on the profit or loss / net worth of the Company.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors has taken note of the observation made by the Statutory Auditors regarding the aggregate provision of Rs. 3,953.81 lakhs made towards doubtful debtors (Expected Credit Loss) as at 31st March, 2026, relating to export sales, and the matter concerning the requirement for obtaining necessary approval, if applicable, under the provisions of RBI and FEMA for writing off the said amount from the books of account.
The Management is in the process of reviewing the matter and evaluating the applicable regulatory requirements and the necessary course of action in consultation with its professional advisors. The Company shall take appropriate steps, including making necessary applications/representations to the concerned regulatory authorities, wherever required, in accordance with the applicable provisions of RBI and FEMA.
The Board is of the view that the provision for doubtful debts has been recognised in the books of account based on the Managements assessment of recoverability of the outstanding export receivables and in accordance with the applicable accounting principles. The Company will continue to take reasonable steps for recovery of the outstanding amounts and will comply with the applicable regulatory requirements in this regard.
Remark No.8:
During FY 22-23, there was a casual vacancy for Chief Financial Officer w.e.f. 1st December 2022. The Company is in process of appointing new Chief Financial Officer but couldnt appoint the same within the prescribed time limits of six months from the date of resignation and we are unable to comment on the impact of the penal consequences on the profit or loss / net worth of the Company.
Comment of Board of Directors:
During the Financial Year 2022-23, a casual vacancy arose in the office of the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company with effect from 1st December, 2022. The Company initiated the process for appointment of a new CFO; however, the vacancy could not be filled within the prescribed period of six months from the date of such vacancy.
The Board of Directors acknowledges the non-compliance with the applicable statutory requirement and is taking necessary steps to appoint a suitable CFO at the earliest. The Board is presently unable to quantify or comment upon the impact, if any, of the penal consequences arising from such non-compliance on the profit or loss and/or net worth of the Company.
Remark No.9:
We draw attention to the financial statements, which disclose that VXL Instruments Limited (CIRP commencement date: 26.11.2024) and VXL Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (CIRP commencement date: 26.02.2025), both related parties, have initiated the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. This development may potentially affect the Companys financial position and its future transactions with these entities.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board has taken note of the matter highlighted by the Statutory Auditors regarding the commencement of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ("CIRP") under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 in respect of VXL Instruments Limited, with CIRP commencement date of 26th November, 2024, and VXL Software Solutions Private Limited, with CIRP commencement date of 26th February, 2025, both being related parties of the Company.
The Board is closely monitoring the developments in the CIRP proceedings and their potential impact on the Companys financial position and future transactions with the aforesaid entities. Based on the information and circumstances presently available, the Company is assessing the implications, if any, arising from the said proceedings. The Company will continue to comply with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and other applicable laws and regulations in relation to transactions with related parties.

The Company has recognized and provided notional interest aggregating to Rs.357.05 lakhs during the year ended March 31,2026, on accounts classified as Non-Performing Assets (NPA). The cumulative outstanding interest payable on such accounts amounts to Rs.2,763.82 lakhs as of 31st March 2026.
However, the Company has not provided relevant bank statements pertaining to these NPA accounts, nor has it obtained confirmations from the respective banks regarding the applicable rate of interest, including penal interest, and the computation thereof.
In the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to determine the accuracy and completeness of the interest provision recognized during the year as well as the correctness of the outstanding interest liability as of March 31, 2026.
Given the materiality and pervasive nature of the matter described above, the financial statements may be materially misstated in respect of finance costs and borrowings.
Comment of Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors has taken note of the observation made by the Statutory Auditors regarding the provision of notional interest amounting to Rs.357.05 lakhs recognized during the year ended 31st March, 2026, and the cumulative outstanding interest liability of Rs.2,763.82 lakhs as at 31st March, 2026, in respect of accounts classified as NonPerforming Assets (NPA).
The Board acknowledges that, due to certain constraints in obtaining the requisite bank statements and confirmations from the respective banks, the Company could not provide sufficient supporting documentation to the Statutory Auditors in respect of the applicable interest rates, including penal interest, and the computation thereof.
The Company has recognized the aforesaid interest provision based on the information and records available with the Company and the terms of the respective borrowing arrangements, wherever available. The Company is in the process of obtaining the requisite bank statements and confirmations from the concerned banks and shall reconcile the interest calculations and outstanding liabilities upon receipt of the same.
The Board further confirms that necessary adjustments, if any, arising from such reconciliation and confirmation from the respective banks shall be duly accounted for in the books of account in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.
The Board is of the view that the Company is taking appropriate steps to obtain the necessary supporting documents and resolve the matter at the earliest.
