Key Disclosures and Auditor's Report
The auditors highlighted a material uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This stems from a current liability exceeding current assets by ₹259 lakh in the consolidated financial statements, primarily due to an advance of ₹5,000 lakh received under the JDA, which is currently shown as a liability pending the outcome of arbitration proceedings. The company believes that liquidity infusion from real estate operations and restructuring plans will allow it to continue operations.
Additionally, the auditors drew attention to the lockout at the Engineering Division, which has been in effect since October 22, 2019. The company has not made any provision for wages for the lockout period, aggregating to ₹7,964 lakh, based on legal advice that the lockout is justified. The matter remains sub-judice.
