4. We draw your attention to Note 43(17) of the Standalone Financial Statements, which states that the Company has received Income tax Demands for AY 16-17 and AY 17-18 against order u/s 147 of Income tax Act to the tune of INR 60.91 crores and INR 14.71 crores respectively wherein the Company has filed appeals against such orders post the prescribed time limit. However, based on Management evaluation and analysis of such orders and the validity of such demands it has not created any provision in regards to the same

5. We draw your attention to Note 43(14) of the Standalone Financial Statements, which states that the Company has created a provision for obsolete Inventory of INR 13.96 Crores in the Standalone Financial Statements in the month of March 2023. The Management has represented that the same is on account of material deterioration in quality stock items related to the Textile Segment which will be scrapped in the subsequent period. The Company has obtained an independent expert confirmation to validate and substantiate the obsoleteness of such stock item and validate that the inventory is not marketable.

6. We draw your attention to Note 43(13) of the Standalone Financial Statements as per the information and explanation given by the management, the company had an unspent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) balance of INR 2.52 crores as March 31, 2022, which the company had decided to spend on ongoing projects, the law stipulates that s unspent amount which has to be spent on ongoing has to be transferred to a special bank account in compliance with the provision of sub-section (6) of section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. However, the same has not been deposited by the company till the May 15, 2023 and resulted into non -compliance. As per Section 134(8) of the companies Act "Penalties for not discharging the duty of CSR", the company is liable for a penalty that would be twice the amount required to be transferred by the company to the specified fund under Schedule VII or the unspent CSR account, as the case may be, or 01 crore, whichever is less. As regards an officer of the company, the penalty would be 1/10th of the amount required to be transferred by the company to such fund or the unspent CSR account, as the case may be, whichever is less.

7. We draw your attention to Note 43(13) of the Standalone Financial Statements as per the information and explanation given by the management, the company has an unspent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) balance of INR 6.81 crores as March 31, 2023, which the company had decided to spend on ongoing projects, the law stipulates that any unspent amount which has to be spent on ongoing has to be transferred to a special bank account in compliance with the provision of sub-section (6) of section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. However, the same has not been deposited by the company till the May 15, 2023 and resulted into non -compliance. As per Section 134(8) of the companies Act "Penalties for not discharging the duty of CSR", the company is liable for a penalty that would be twice the amount required to be transferred by the company to the specified fund under Schedule VII or the unspent CSR account, as the case may be, or 01 crore, whichever is less. As regards an officer of the company, the penalty would be 1/10th of the amount required to be transferred by the company to such fund or the unspent CSR account, as the case may be, whichever is less.

8. We draw attention to the standalone Financial Results, which indicates that the Company has incurred a loss of Rs 154.8 crores for the year ended March 31, 2023. Particularly during the last financial year, there has also been a significant decline in the Companys profits, an increase in their collection period resulting in breach of customer/ vendor/ assignment agreements. The above indicators of financial stress has also resulted in a substantial delay in payment of statutory dues as mentioned in Note 43(9) to the standalone financial results. This requires the Company to take effective steps to augment its capital base. On the Board Meeting held on February 04, 2023, the Company has proposed an internal restructuring scheme for the revival and growth of current operations and new business segments respectively. Under this Scheme the Company has proposed to increase the authorized share capital from INR 75 crores to INR 125 crores thereby approved by the Shareholders on April 17, 2023 through e- voting by Postal Ballot. Further the Company has received commitments from the Promotor Group to provide Inter Corporate Deposits/ Loans to the tune of INR 200 crores as a personal guarantee for the outstanding statutory dues.

In the opinion of the Company, based on the financial projections prepared by the Company and approved by the Board for the next 3 years, the capital infusion plans, the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in its normal course of business and hence the financial results have been prepared on a going concern basis. The said assumption of going concern is inter-alia dependent on the Companys ability to achieve improvements in profitability and liquidity.

9. We draw your attention to Note 43(9) of the Standalone Financial Statements that the Company has not yet paid the statutory dues as on March 31, 2023 to the tune of INR 289 crores with an ageing of 0-24 months consisting of Self-Assessment Income Tax dues in relation to FY 20-21 and FY 21-22, Professional Fees, ESIC dues, Professional Tax, Tax Deducted at Source and Tax Credited at Source

Further the Company has not yet filed tax audit return and audit report for FY 21-22 on account of the Income Tax Search that was conducted on the Company during July 2022 . The Company is further in process of submitting its reply against the Notice served u/s 148 of Income tax Act 1952.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters as stated under the Emphasis of Matter Paragraph

The other information comprises the information included in the Boards report including annexures to the Boards report, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditors report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company, view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

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 the 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 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 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 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.

However, we are of the opinion that the terms and conditions of loans granted and advances in the nature of loans by the Company to all the corporates and firms (including subsidiaries) covered in the register maintained under Section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013, are prejudicial to the companys interest on account of the fact that no interest has not been collected on majority of these loans no interest has been charged on advances in the nature of loans for the FY 22-23 for the entire year. These advances are interest free which is unreasonable against the cost of funds to the Company.

(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, provisions of section 185 of the Companies Act, 2013 in respect of loans and advances given, have not been complied with for the advance granted to related parties where the directors/ relatives of directors are interested as the Company has not obtained special resolution in regards to the same to the tune of INR 22.01 crores.
