Auditor's Report and Key Audit Matters
M/s Mayur Shah & Associates issued an audit report with an unmodified opinion on the standalone audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. However, the auditors highlighted several key audit matters of significance:
- The auditors noted they had submitted a resignation letter dated February 14, 2026, which was not accepted by management, citing SEBI circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/114/2019. The auditors stated they would cease to be the company's auditor upon signing and approval of the report.
- Potential variations in financial transactions reported in the books versus those in Form No. 26AS, AIS/TIS, and similar external records were flagged, as such records were not available at the time of signing.
- A preferential allotment made in July 2024 amounting to ₹19,45,35,000/- (including security premium) was noted; funds raised were intended for working capital but were applied towards investment-related activities, as reflected in the books of accounts.
- Third-party confirmations for various debit/credit balances were not provided until the date of signing, making those balances subject to verification; the reported loss may therefore be subject to change.
- The company has not complied with provisions relating to unpaid dividend outstanding since long, on which the auditors were unable to form an opinion.
- Physical share certificates or demat account statements for investments made through the preferential allotment have not been provided, and accordingly, no opinion was expressed on the investment amounts in the books.
The paid-up equity share capital of the company stands at ₹2,578.28 lakhs (face value ₹10/- per share). The company operates in a single business segment.
