The Company has been continuously incurring losses since last several years and its net-worth stands substantially eroded. These conditions indicate the existence of uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern

The Company has received large order in hand hence its ability to continue, inter-alia, is dependent on the generation of cash flow, profits from their execution and on the Company''s ability to infuse requisite funds for meeting its obligations.

We draw your attention to Note No 27 and 28 Overdue Trade Receivables of Rs. 36197.3 thousands and Advances and Deposits (included in the current assets) of Rs. 22296.72 thousands which in our opinion is doubtful for recovery and appropriate provision should be made. However, as explained by the Management, the Company is making concerted efforts to recover the same and is confident of recovery in due course. Hence no provision is considered necessary at present. Further aforesaid balances are subject to confirmation/reconciliations and subsequent to adjustments, if any. As explained by the Management that there would not be any impact on loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 after such reconciliation. b. There are certain legal disputes and claims which are under arbitration proceedings before judiciary authorities. The outcome of these proceedings against the Company may have significant impact on the loss for the quarter and net worth of the Company as on March 31, 2024, the amount whereof is not presently ascertainable.
