Basis for Opinion
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 Auditorâs 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 ol India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act 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.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The operating results have been adversely affected due to very low level of activities and the
accumulated losses of the Company as at 31st March, 2024 stand at Rs. 1,564.10 Lakhs as
against the share capital of Rs. 167.50 Lakhs. Also current liabilities as at 31st March, 2024
exceed current assets by Rs. 1,270.73 Lakhs. At present the Company does not have any
manufacturing facility of its own and most of the workers / staff of the Company have left the
employment. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainty about the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent on the Company
establishing profitable operations and sustainable cash flows. The Management is in the process
of further rationalizing the expenses, continuously reducing its liabilities and also considering the
measures to generate additional revenue apart from revenue generated during the year.
Accordingly, the Company continues to prepare its accounts on a "Going Concern" basis. (Please
refer Note No. 27(h)).
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
