Auditor's Observations and Management Response
M/s Jagdish Chand & Co., Chartered Accountants, the statutory auditors, provided an unmodified opinion on the financial results. However, the auditors included an emphasis of matter paragraph noting that the company did not satisfy the principal business criteria prescribed under Section 45-I(f) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. This was because financial assets were less than 50% of total assets during part of the financial year and as of March 31, 2026.
The management clarified that investments in bank fixed deposits are primarily for safety, liquidity management, and treasury purposes pending deployment in financing activities. They stated that such deployment is temporary in nature and not intended to change the principal business of the company. Additionally, the auditors noted that the company sold quoted investments in equity shares based on an independent valuer's report, which was lower than prevailing quoted market prices, resulting in a loss of ₹35.80 lakh accounted for in Other Comprehensive Income.

Equity share capital remained constant at ₹1,471.30 lakh, while other equity stood at a negative balance of ₹533.66 lakh. The company stated that it has discontinued fresh hire purchase and leasing business but continues to prepare financial results on a going concern basis, anticipating sufficient funds from asset realization to meet liabilities.
