STATUTORY AUDITORS & THEIR REPORT
M/ s. N. D. Kapur & Co., Chartered Accountants is the Statutory Auditor of the
Company. The Auditors Report to the Shareholder contains certain reservation,
Qualification or adverse remark.
The response of the Management on Auditors qualification, reservation or adverse remark
are as follows:
(a) There are debtors (other than related parties) amounting to Rs. 6.49 Crore
recoverable as on 31.03.2021 and there has been no recovery during the FY 2020-21. Neither
the Company has provided us any confirmation letters from these debtors nor we could
obtain direct confirmation from most of the debtors. The Company has made a provision for
doubtful debts for only 10% of the amount of such debtors. In the absence of confirmation
from most of the Debtors, the recovery of said receivables is doubtful.
Managements response - The manufacturing operations of the company which had been
restricted initially due to strategic reasons has been completely put on hold at the onset
of pandemic related lockdown. The company carries a long history of commercial relation
with all its buyers/ dealers from whom an amount of Rs, 6.49 cr is owed to the company.
Considering the long history of commercial relation the management is of the opinion that
once the commercial activity of the company is activated the amount shall be recovered
from the identified debtors in due course.
(b) TDS receivable under Other Current Assets amounting to Rs. 2.30 Crore for
Assessment Year 20-21 is neither reflecting in 26AS nor been claimed in Income Tax Return.
The same should have been written off in the books of account but that has not been done.
This may cause equivalent amount of loss to be understated in profit and loss account and
other equity to be overstated in balance sheet.
Managements response - The aforesaid TDS receivables is from Uniply Industries
Limited, they have deducted the TDS, however the said TDS has not been remitted to Income
Tax Dept by them. During the financial 2021-22 the Company will claim the said amount from
Uniply Industries Limited, by reversing the TDS receivable account.
(c) Pending deposition of statutory dues, statutory returns of Goods and Services Tax
(GST) law and Tax deducted at source (TDS) have not been filed within prescribed time.
Since, provision of late fees and penalty for the same has not being made, we are not able
to comment on consequent impact thereof on profit and loss account and balance sheet.
Managements response - The Company has been operating with a very limited employee
strength during the period of COVID, due to which a few compliances have been delayed.
These delayed compliances have been identified and the Management is making efforts to
ensure that these compliances are made at the earliest.
(d) The balances in the Trade Payables (other than provisions for expenses) amounting
to Rs. 14.93 Crore are subject to reconciliation and confirmation.
Managements response - The Management has planned to undertake the verification,
confirmation and reconciliation process for the identified accounts of Trade Payable.
These verifications could not be taken up earlier on account of the reduced employee
strength that the company was operation on account of COVID related lockdown. Further, the
Company has not received any balance confirmation request during this period from any of
the identified Trade payables account outside the amount of Rs.14.93 cr.
(e) We have physically verified the Plant and Machinery amounting to approximately Rs.
6 Crore (net block after depreciation) at Uthiramerur Factory. Most of the Plant and
Machinery is in non-usable condition and there is significant doubt on its realizable
value.
Managements response - The plant & machinery at Uthiramerur Factory need a routine
maintenance overhaul which also includes replacement of certain consumable parts. This is
on account of the reason that the plant & machinery has remained unused for a long
period of time during the COVID related lock down period. The Management confirms that the
plant & machinery will be in perfect usable condition once the routine maintenance
overhaul is undertaken.
(f) In the absence of any revenue (including other income), there are no cash inflows
and therefore, the company continues to be in severe liquidity crunch.
Managements response - The commercial operations of the company have remained shut and
now the Management has plans to start of the operations of the company.
(g) GST amounting to approximately Rs. 2 Crore outstanding prior to 31.03.2020
continues to remain unpaid even after Company has paid GST amounting to Rs. 2.94 Crore out
of its GST outstanding prior to 31.03.2020. Self-Assessment Tax amounting to Rs. 1.64
Crore relating to assessment year 2019-20 continue to remain unpaid. TDS amounting to Rs.
5.23 Crore is for the period prior to 31.03.2020. Also, for the FY 2020-21, TDS amounting
to Rs. 6.74 lakhs remains unpaid.
Managements response - While a significant amount of outstanding statutory dues has
been paid during the year, the Management is committed to pay balance outstanding
statutory dues and efforts are being made in this direction.
(h) GST Registrations for all the offices / factories of the company continue to remain
cancelled till date. We have not been provided any information or documents for any action
taken by the Company, to either revive those registrations, or to correct the related GST
noncompliances and to surrender those registrations. The company has availed Input Tax
Credit (ITC) of approximately Rs. 4.41 Crore across various registrations / locations as
on 31st March 2021. Company continues to avail Input Tax Credit of certain expenses at its
Chennai office during FY 2020-21 in spite of its cancelled GST registration.
However, in the absence of active GST registration across all the locations, we are
unable to comment on the appropriateness of availing the same. This may cause the amount
of loss to be understated by and other equity to be overstated by Rs. 4.41 Crore.
Managements response - The Management has taken steps to surrender GST registrations
across various regions where there has been limited market for its products. Now the
management proposes to apply for activation of GST registration only in those regions,
where there will be commercial operations. This is proposed to be done to minimize
compliance related efforts and also to keep the commercial operation focused with optimal
compliance cost.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern- The company has incurred net loss of Rs.
251.78 Crore during the financial years 2020-21 and net loss of Rs. 4.29 Crore during the
financial years 2019-20. Any of the factories of the company - either at Uthiramerur,
Chennai or at Gandhidham, Gujarat, or any of the branch offices of the Company are not in
operation since January 2020 till date of audit report. There has been a significant
adverse impact on the Company upto now due to COVID-19 in terms of non-collection of
receivables, stoppage of operations and discontinuance of manpower. Powers of the Board of
Uniply Industries Limited (Promoter Company) have been suspended as a consequence of the
initiation of CIRP in terms of provisions of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Employees strength of the Company is less than 20. A petition has been filed with NCLT
under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code by Mr. Sunil Kumar Bothra (ex-employee of the
Company) for CIRP of the Company. These factors alongwith abovementioned paragraphs (e),
(f), (g), (h), (i), and (j) of the Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our Audit Report
raise substantial doubt about the companys ability to continue as a going concern in the
foreseeable future. However, the companys financial statements have been prepared by the
management on going concern basis.
Managements response - The company has suffered on account of global pandemic and the
resulting lock down which includes two compulsory Country wide lock-down. The company has
now taken steps for initiating the operations of the company. The company is confident of
reviving its operations in the ensuing period - more specifically from Quarter 4 of FY
2022. IRP has been appointed at Uniply Industries Limited. It should be noted that the
appointment of IRP has been made through an ex-partee order and the claimant did not
acknowledge certain payments made to him. Uniply Industries Limited has already filed an
appeal in this regard and the company is confident of a positive outcome in this regard.
In the previous few months, the company has appointed key resources who will be able to
start the operations of the plant. This team is in addition to the team which was already
in place during the period of pandemic who were retained to ensure maintenance and up keep
of the pant. The petition of Mr Sunil Kumar Bothra pertains to payment of salaries and
deposit of TDS on the same. In this regard the company has already paid the salaries to Mr
Bothra. The TDS on the same will be paid by the company and necessary update will be made
to the Honble Courts in this regard.
Other remarks and observation of the Auditor in their report and annexure and
management responses, if any, are self-explanatory.
