Auditor's Emphasis of Matters
The statutory auditor, M/s. S K Bhavsar & Co., while issuing an unmodified opinion, drew attention to several matters in the Emphasis of Matters section of the audit report. These included:
- Non-furnishing of balance confirmation letters, party-wise reconciliation statements, and age-wise analysis for certain trade receivable and trade payable balances as at March 31, 2026, making it impossible to ascertain the existence, completeness, accuracy, and recoverability of said balances.
- Absence of satisfactory supporting documents for completeness of valuation of inventory as at March 31, 2026.
- Non-appointment of an Internal Auditor for the entire Financial Year 2025-26, constituting a non-compliance with Section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013.
- Non-disclosure of MSME classification for trade payables, constituting non-compliance with the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
- Unconfirmed advances paid to suppliers and loans granted by the company for which confirmations and supporting loan agreements were not made available.
- Non-provision of information and supporting documentation in respect of investments held in the name of the company, preventing verification of existence, ownership, and fair valuation.
The auditor confirmed that the conclusion on the financial results is not modified in respect of any of these matters. All the above matters were communicated to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the company.
