no qualification or adverse remarks or disclaimer
with regard to the financial statements for the year
ended 31st March 2025.

STATUTORY AUDITORS' - EMPHASIS OF MATTER:

The Statutory Auditors of the Company have
included an Emphasis of Matter in their report
for the financial year ended 31st March 2025. The
said Emphasis of Matter does not constitute a
qualification or modification of their opinion but
has been included to draw attention to certain
matters disclosed in the financial statements:

1. We draw attention to the outstanding statutory
due to Government authorities. Delays were
observed in payment of Goods and Service Tax
amounting to Rs.1,08,93,788 including interest
thereon and in payment of Tax Deducted at
Source amounting to Rs. 54,64,310, both of

which were subsequently paid.

2. The amount of Rs. 3,70,277 towards Employees'
Provident Fund contributions including interest
remains unremitted by the company. Our
opinion is not modified in this regard.

3. MSME dues including interest amounting to
Rs. 7,26,40,633 remain unpaid beyond the
due dates. Our opinion is not modified in this
regard.

4. We draw attention to the outstanding long¬
term loan from IDFC First Bank. During FY
2024-25, the loan repayments were not made
as per the scheduled due dates and amounts
specified in the repayment schedule and paid
subsequently. Our opinion is not modified in
this regard.

5. We draw attention to the revaluation of Plant
& Machinery carried out during the quarter
ended 31.03.2025, resulting in an increase of
Rs. 3, 17,09,228 in the carrying value of assets
and corresponding impact on Other Equity. Our
opinion is not modified in this regard.

6. Due to the voluminous nature of transactions
undertaken by the entity, we have not
conducted comprehensive verification of the
Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Input Tax
Credit (ITC) claims. However, based on our
review of the internal audit report and related
records, we noted instances of mismatched
credit, including cases where ITC pertaining
to the State of Tamil Nadu was claimed under
the GST registration of the State of Odisha. Our
opinion is not modified in this regard.

Management's response to the above emphasis of
matters mentioned in the Auditors Report:

1. The Board notes the observation regarding
delays in payment of Goods and Services Tax
amounting to ' 1,08,93,788 (including interest)
and Tax Deducted at Source amounting to '
54,64,310. The delays occurred due to a change
in management. Both amounts have since been
paid in full and have no continuing impact on
the Company's operations or financial position.

2. With reference to the unremitted difference
in Provident Fund contributions during FY
2024-25, it was noted that the EPF portal
does not provide an option to directly remit
the differential amount. As per the guidance
received from the EPFO, the difference is
required to be remitted under the relevant
heads for the respective month, followed by
submission of the challan in the usual manner.
The Company is in the process of completing
this remittance, and the differential amount will
be paid within the current month to regularize
the same.

3. With reference to the observation regarding
dues to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
(MSMEs) amounting to ' 7,26,40,633 (including
interest), the delay in payments has primarily
been due to temporary cash flow constraints,
operational delays and differences in invoice
reconciliation. However, the Company has duly
recognized the outstanding amounts to MSME
in its books of accounts, in accordance with
the requirements of the MSMED Act, 2006.
We are actively coordinating with the MSME
vendors to resolve outstanding issues and are
committed to clearing the dues in a phased
manner. The Company remains fully committed
to compliance with all statutory obligations
and is strengthening internal controls to ensure
timely payments to MSMEs in the future.

4. We confirm that all outstanding dues, including
the accumulated interest, were subsequently
cleared towards the end of the period. The
delay in servicing the scheduled instalments
has since been addressed, and the Company
is taking necessary steps to ensure timely
compliance with repayment obligations going
forward.

5. The Board notes the revaluation of Plant &
Machinery carried out during the quarter
ended 31st March 2025 to ensure that the
assets are reflected at their fair value in the
financial statements. The valuation, based
on an inspection of construction equipment
including concrete mixers, generators, and bar
bending machines located at the warehouse

and stockyard, resulted in an increase of '
3,17,09,228 in the carrying value of assets with
a corresponding impact on Other Equity. This
disclosure is for information purposes only and
does not affect the Company's operational or
financial position.

6. In October 2023, ITC of ' 27,97,434/- pertaining
to the Tamil Nadu GST registration was claimed
under the Odisha GST registration, resulting
in duplication. The error was due to a lapse
in state- wise ITC reconciliation with GSTR-
2B. Corrective adjustments are being made
in subsequent GST returns, and preventive
measures include appointing a dedicated GST
consultant and implementing GSTIN- specific
monthly reconciliations.

DETAILS OF FRAUD

reported any fraud as specified under Section
143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013.
