| Segment | Revenue (Rs. crore) |
|---|---|
| Rakanpur | 3,965.23 |
| Santej | 797.42 |
| Hajipur | 518.01 |
Auditor's Qualifications
The statutory auditors, S N Shah & Associates, issued a qualified opinion on the financial results, highlighting two key concerns:
Trade Receivables: The auditors noted that trade receivables include Rs. 166.72 crore outstanding, for which the company has initiated legal recovery procedures. The auditors believe a provision for doubtful debts should have been made, potentially overstating profits and current trade receivables.
Foreign Currency Restatement: The company has not restated monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period, as required by Ind-AS-21. This non-compliance may result in overstatement or understatement of foreign currency denominated items and affect reported profits.
Management's Response
The company's management has stated that they are taking appropriate measures for recovery of the outstanding trade receivables and are hopeful of recovery in the coming financial year. Regarding the foreign currency restatement, management deemed the impact not material enough to significantly affect profitability or net worth but acknowledged the non-compliance and committed to taking appropriate action in the coming year.
Board Meeting
The board meeting to approve these results was held on November 14.
Deep Polymers Limited's performance shows growth in revenue and profit compared to the previous quarter. However, the qualified audit opinion raises concerns about the company's financial reporting practices and potential overstatement of profits. Investors and stakeholders may want to closely monitor the company's actions to address these issues in the coming quarters.
