Audit Qualifications and Going Concern
The statutory auditors, S. C. Ajmera & Co., issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial results. The qualification primarily stems from the company's decision to provide interest at nil percent per annum on term loans, cash credit limits, and cumulative redeemable preference shares aggregating ₹2,47,379 lakh. This resulted in a lower provision of finance costs by ₹45,283 lakh for the year. Had the interest been provided at the documented rate, the net loss for the year would have been significantly higher at ₹45,824 lakh.
The auditors also emphasized significant material uncertainty regarding the company's "going concern" status. The report notes that the company's ability to sustain itself and generate revenues has been critically dented, leading to the conclusion that the company ceases to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the auditors highlighted the non-preparation of consolidated financial statements due to the non-receipt of subsidiary financial statements and the vacancy of key managerial positions including CEO, CFO, and Company Secretary.
