Auditor’s Qualifications and Litigations
The auditors drew attention to several material uncertainties, including pending litigations with Punjab National Bank (PNB) regarding a one-time settlement (OTS) of dues.

The company also faces disputes with tax authorities, including a demand for central excise duty, interest, and penalty amounting to ₹58.05 lakh for the period from 1994 to 1997. The company has filed an appeal against the order, and the matter is pending before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, Allahabad.
Going Concern and Internal Controls
The financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis as the company closed its manufacturing operations in May 2007. The auditors also noted that the company used accounting software for maintaining its books of account that does not have a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility. Consequently, the auditors issued a qualified opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting.
