Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on financial statement.
Emphasis of Matters
The companys ability to continue as a going concern is under severe threat. Since October 2023, the company has been operating without any employees and has liquidated its entire inventory at a loss. While steps have been initiated to lift the trading suspension imposed by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the matter remains unresolved as of the date of this report. These adverse conditions cast significant doubt on the companys ability to continue as a going concern. However, management has represented that certain mitigating factors exist, including the receipt of a comfort letter from the promoter of the company. Based on this, management believes that the use of the going concern assumption in the preparation of these financial statements remains appropriate.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Other Matter
We draw attention to the fact that audit of standalone financial statement for the year ended 31st March
2024, included in the annual return was carried out and reported by Gupta Ravi & Associates who has expressed disclaimer of opinion vide their report dated 7th December 2024 and basis of opinion are as follow:
(xiii) The company has written off Creditor amounting to Rs 15,74,393.30, advance payment amounting to Rs 11,56,300 & other balance written off amounting to Rs 9,75,000.00, Due to lack of proper documentation for the creditor written-off , advances written off & other balance written off raises concerns about the completeness and accuracy of the accounts payable balance / advances balances and the adequacy of the companys internal controls over financial reporting. Without sufficient evidence, we cannot determine whether the write-off is appropriate and whether the financial statements fairly present the companys financial position and results of operations.
(xiv) As per the financial statement, all the interest income was not recognized during the period under audit, we requested an explanation from the management regarding the omission of interest income. However, we did not receive any satisfactory explanation as to why interest income was not recognized for the entire period. In the absence of any information regarding the interest receivable to be booked, we are unable to comment on the impact of this on companys financial position and resultsof operations.
(xv) We noted a significant deficiency in the documentation of sales transactions that occurred in the fourth quarter with no invoice, ewaybill and GST return on record for verification. The lack of proper documentation for these sales transactions limited our ability to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the accuracy and completeness of sales revenue recorded in the fourth quarter. This significantly impacts our assessment of the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements. Due to this we are unable to comment on whether the financial statements fairly present the companys financial position and results of operations.
(xvi) The Company failed to provide us with the GST reconciliation statement / GST return for the period under review. These reconciliation / return statement are crucial for verifying the accuracy and completeness of GST- related entries in the financial statements. In the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the financial position and result of operations.
(xvii) Lack of Supporting Documentation for Professional Fees & Employee Benefit Details. This limitation restricted our ability to verify the accuracy and completeness of expenses related to professional fees & Employee Benefit Exp. In the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the financial position and result of operations.
(xviii) The company has not recorded expenses for electricity, warehouse rent, and employee provident fund contributions. The omission of expenses will result in an understatement of expenses and an overstatement of net income for the period. In the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the financial position and result of operations.
(xix) As per the financial statement, the total trade receivable outstanding amounts to Rs. 1,83,80,138,41/- and trade payable amounts to Rs. 15,92,102.40/- as on March 31, 2024. We are unable to obtain independent balance confirmations and perform any alternate procedures. We are unable to comment if any adjustments to the carrying value of trade receivable and trade payable is required if any.
(xx) As per the financial statement, the total Loan given amounting to Rs 5,08,28,307.00 and loan taken amounting to Rs 24,33,609 as on March 31, 2024. We are unable to obtain independent balance confirmations and perform any alternate procedures. In the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of Loan given.
(xxi) Under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 certain disclosures are to be made relating to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The company has sought relevant information from its suppliers / providers of services under the Act, and since the relevant information has not been shared with us, we are unable to comment on the impact if any applicable.
(xxii) The amount represented under the head (Cash in hand), we have not been provided by the management with any appropriate information, explanation and justification for such a cash balance as well as transactions carried out by the company in cash. On account of this and in the absence of documentation we are unable to verify and form an opinion on such cash and cash transactions carried out by the company.
(xxiii) Secretarial Compliances have not been done by the company since last two financial year. Also presently there is no compliance officer in the company who can be held responsible for this. Due to this we are unable to comment on the penal / legal consequences on the financial position and result on operations.
(xxiv) The companys continued existence is severely threatened. Since October 2023, it has operated without any employees, has liquidated its entire inventory at a loss, No steps have been taken by the company to lift the trading suspension imposed by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and has completely neglected its secretarial obligations. These critical factors cast serious doubt on the companys ability to remain in business. These conditions indicate uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the companys ability to continue as going concern.
We have been relied upon above points for the purpose of our review of the Audited result. Our opinion is also modified to the extent reflected in above points.
Attention is hereby drawn to Company had purchased 80% stake in Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc during FY
2020-21. During FY 2022-23, dispute arose between Company & minority shareholder & company filed a case against the minority shareholder alleging misfeasance, misrepresentation & misappropriation at District Mediation Center, Nagpur on 19-05-2022.
Company has been trying relentlessly to obtain sufficient data from Subsidiary in order to facilitate Consolidation of financials for reporting purposes. However, due to unavailability of subsidiary financial data, the company has not been able to present consolidated financial statements since June 21 quarter.It is also be noted company has no active operation since October 2022.
Company has during current year again made an assessment of its Control and power over subsidiary as per Ind AS 110 & management has determined that the company does not possess significant control and power over its subsidiary, Jalan Jalan Collection Inc., despite holding an 80% shareholding. Hence, Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc., does not qualify as a subsidiary.
Next step on evaluation done by Management was whether the investment qualifies as an Investment in Associate as per Ind AS 28. As per Ind AS 28, If an entity holds, directly or indirectly (eg through subsidiaries), 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the entity has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. An entity loses significant influence over an investee when it loses the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of that investee. The loss of significant influence can occur with or without a change in absolute or relative ownership levels. Management is of the view that the Company has no role to play in any financial or operating decisions of Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc. as the same is under control of Minority shareholder & hence Company is unable to exercise significant influence by virtue of its shareholding.
On review, management also concluded that previous classification of Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc., as a subsidiary in previous financials was erroneous & it was never a subsidiary. As per Ind AS 8, retrospective effect needs to be given for Prior period error. However, since Company has not presented consolidated financial statements since June 21, management concludes that restated results would be similar to standalone financials with the only exception being that Investments in Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc. would not be classified as Investment in Subsidiary under Schedule for Investments.
Consequently, the company has not prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with Ind AS 110 & will account for investment in Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc. as per Ind AS 109 - Financial Instrument.
As per Ind AS 109, Company records Investments in equity instruments at Fair value through Profit and Loss account. Company has obtained a fair valuation report on 27th April, 2024 for its investment in Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc. Based on valuation report, fair value of the company is Rs. -76,736.87/- based on whatever past data was available with the company. Hence, management has recorded the Investment in Jalan & Jalan Collection Inc. at zero rupees in its books.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the 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 no material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. The Companys Board of Directors
is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position & financial performance of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and 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.
The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibility 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.
Responsibilities for Audit of 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 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 financial 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in the aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work in evaluating the results of our work, and (ii) evaluating the effect of any identified misstatements in the 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 financial controls 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.
