Audit Qualifications and Findings
The statutory auditors issued a qualified opinion on both the standalone and consolidated annual financial results for the period ended March 31, 2026. The qualified opinion was based on several matters, including:- Historical Provision: Auditors noted that a provision of Rs. 1,683 lakhs, related to interest on Debentures and Fixed Deposits, was not provided in the financial statements for the outstanding amount. Had this provision been made, the Net Profit before tax would have been lowered by Rs. 1,683 lakhs, and the cumulative net loss and Current Liabilities as of March 31, 2026, would have been higher by Rs. 1,340 lakhs.
- Insufficient Reserve: Debenture redemption reserve of Rs. 2014.98 lakhs, required for the redemption of 'B' series debentures, has not been created due to insufficient profits.
- Asset Security: The value of assets charged as security in favor of banks and financial institutions has been depleted over time. The auditors noted that the extent of this shortfall has not been ascertained by the company.
- Balance Confirmation: The inability to obtain balance confirmations for various accounts, including security deposits, trade receivables, bank balances, and related party balances, limited the scope of determining the financial impact on receivables and payables.
