Dear Sir,
Sub: Unaudited quarterly and Three months results ended 30th June 2026 – submission of
clarification on the opinion expressed by Auditors in their Limited Review Report.
Ref: Company Code – 521161 ISIN – INE456D01010
The Auditors, in their Limited Review Report on the Statement of Unaudited Financial Results for the
first quarter ended 30th June 2026, have, inter alia, reported as under:
Quote
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern: We draw attention to the fact that the
accumulated losses were Rs.10,514.05 Lakhs up to 31st March 2026 and the Company made
a Loss of Rs 551.84 Lakhs for the quarter ended 30th June 2026, resulting in a continued
negative net worth. These events, along with persistent losses over the last three years,
indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. However, the company's statement of Unaudited
Financial Results for the quarter ended as on 30th June, 2026 have been prepared using the
going concern basis of accounting, based on the opinion of the management that the
Company would generate sufficient profits in the foreseeable future.
2. Non-Remittance of Statutory Dues: The Company has not been regular in depositing
undisputed statutory dues with the appropriate authorities during the financial year. On a
consolidated basis across the Company's divisions, we draw attention to the following non-
compliances:
a) Employees' State Insurance (ESI): As at June 30, 2026, consolidated ESI contributions
aggregating to Rs.5.24 lakhs, pertaining to the period from October 2025 to June 2026,
remained outstanding. Accordingly, a cumulative provision for interest of Rs.0.19 lakhs was
recognized in the books of accounts as at the quarter-end. As at the date of this report, the
principal balance of Rs.5.24 lakhs and corresponding accumulated interest of Rs. 0.26 lakhs
remain unpaid.
b) Employees' Provident Fund (EPF): As at June 30, 2026, consolidated EPF dues
aggregating to Rs.149.10 lakhs for the period from August 2024 to June 2026 remained
outstanding. Subsequent to the reporting period, the company remitted Rs.8.93 Lakhs of
Provident fund and Interest and damages of Rs.1.07 Lakhs on July 17th, 2026. Provisions for
interest and damages amounting to Rs.12.80 lakhs and Rs.13.34 lakhs, respectively, were
recognized as at June 30, 2026. As at the date of this report, the principal amount of
Rs.140.17 lakhs remains unpaid, along with accumulated interest and damages of Rs.14.27
lakhs and Rs.14.67 lakhs, respectively. This however, does not include unpaid ESI for
employees in the garments division, the amount for which, was not available for our
verification.
c) Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) & Tax Collected at Source (TCS): TDS and TCS
aggregating to Rs.22.83 lakhs, deducted/collected during the period from May 2025 to June
2026, were not deposited within the prescribed statutory timelines. Provisions for interest
amounting to Rs.2.47 lakhs, were recognized as at June 30, 2026. As at the date of this
report, the principal amount of Rs.22.83 lakhs and accumulated interest of Rs.2.97 lakhs
remain outstanding.
The non-payment of these dues constitutes a contravention of the respective statutory acts.
Furthermore, the financial statements do not fully reflect the potential impact of further escalation of
penalties or the legal ramifications arising from such long-term defaults, the quantum of which is
currently unascertainable but considered material to the financial obligations of the Company.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters :
An advance amounting to Rs.21.40 lakhs and Rs.13.18 lakhs made by the Company for the
purchase of machinery and for the purchase of ring frames. As disclosed, this capital
advance has remained outstanding for more than three years and no confirmation of balance
has been obtained.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Management’s View:
For the above-mentioned observations of the Auditors, the Company provides the following
reasons and clarifications.
1. Going Concern Principle
Subsequent to the various measures taken by the management, wherein the cost of production,
administrative expenses were controlled to the maximum extent there by, there is a sizable reduction
in the losses for the previous 2 – 3 quarters. The Company did revaluation and taken the current
actual value of the Fixed Assets into the books of accounts. The management is of the view and
hopeful that the Company will generate necessary cash flows for making statutory payments in the
ensuing quarters. Further, the recent FTAs signed by the Government with the EU and the USA,
along with the impetus provided by the Union Budget 2026, are expected to enhance the turnover
during FY 2026–27.
2. Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees’ State Insurance (ESI)
There is an amount of Rs.149.10 lakhs towards Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) contributions and
Rs.5.24 lakhs towards Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) contributions, aggregating to Rs.154.34
lakhs, pertaining to the period from October 2025 to June 2026, remains outstanding. Necessary
provisions of Rs.0.19 lakhs towards interest has been made as at the quarter-end. The garment
section commenced operations recently, and labour was initially engaged on a temporary basis.
Subsequently, the department has stabilised, and the necessary statutory deductions towards PF and
ESI contributions will be made and regularised from the current quarter onwards. We expect these
statutory payments will made in the coming quarters.
3. Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)
An amount of Rs.22.83 lakhs, including applicable interest, towards TDS/ TCS is outstanding and will
be remitted to the appropriate authorities in the coming quarters.
