Basis for Qualified opinion
We draw your attention to Note No. 33 to the financial statements whichstates that the Company has ceased production and revenue operationsfrom the financial year ended March 31, 2016 and incurred net loss ofRs. 1,928.71 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2025 and accumulatedlosses aggregate to Rs. 16,657.76 Lakhs as of March 31, 2025. Thereis no production of LED TVs from April, 2015 and of Air Conditionerssince June, 2015 onwards in the absence of any orders. However, themanagement considers the going concern assumption as appropriatein view of continued financial and operational support from the holdingcompany.
Significant time has elapsed after cessation of the production activityand in the absence of Board approved business plan and scheme ofrevival, the impact on the financial statements which have been preparedby the management under the going concern assumption, cannot beascertained.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standardson Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs), weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control;
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and thereasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by the management;
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the goingconcern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation;
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including any significant deficienciesin internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationshipsand other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance,we determine those matters that were of most significance in the auditof the financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless Law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
