(iv) 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.

We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence or adequate documentation to verify the basis of the

disclaimer of opinion issued by the previous auditor, as referenced in points (i) to (iv) above.

• 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the 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.

• 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:

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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.

(v) 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.

(vi) 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.

(vii) 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.

(viii) 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.

(ix) 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.

(x) 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.

(xi) 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.

(xii) 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 202021. 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.
