Auditor's Disclaimer and Going Concern Risks
Agrawal Jain & Gupta, the statutory auditors, issued a disclaimer of opinion on the unaudited financial results. The report highlighted material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The auditors noted they were unable to obtain sufficient evidence regarding the recoverability of long-term loans and advances amounting to ₹1,100.41 lakh and non-current assets of ₹979.02 lakh.
Additionally, the auditors flagged that the company has not recognised interest expenses on borrowings classified as NPAs, pending the finalisation of One-Time Settlement (OTS) proposals with lenders. The auditors stated they could not assess the appropriateness of non-recognition of this interest. Physical verification of inventories, valued at ₹1,790.45 lakh, was also not fully completed.
Contingent Liabilities and Statutory Defaults
The company has outstanding Income Tax demands aggregating to ₹8,678.59 lakh and GST demands of ₹911.07 lakh, which have been disclosed as contingent liabilities as no provision has been made. Management is pursuing legal remedies against these demands. Furthermore, the company reported delays in the payment of statutory liabilities, including Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), Provident Fund, and ESIC, due to financial constraints.
