AUDITORS AND AUDITORS’ REPORT
Statutory_Audit

M/s. KPB & Associates, Statutory Auditor of the Company have conducted the audit for the F.Y.
2024-2025.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 139(2) of the Act and the rules made thereunder, the Members
at their 41st AGM held on September 28th, 2022 appointed M/s. KPB & Associates, Chartered
Accountants (Firm Registration Number: 114841W) as the Statutory Auditors of the Company for a
term of five years, i.e., from the conclusion of the 41st AGM till the conclusion of 46th AGM.

With reference to point (iv)(1) of Annexure - A to the auditor’s report:

“In respect of grant of loans, making investments and providing guarantees and securities during the
year as referred in Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, the company has failed to comply with
this provision of the Act, as: Any prior approval from Banks / Public Financial Institution viz. Canara
Bank is not on the record”

However, the provision of section 186(5) clearly states No investment shall be made or loan or
guarantee or security given by the company unless the resolution sanctioning it is passed at a meeting
of the Board with the consent of all the Directors present at the meeting and the prior approval of the
public financial institution concerned where any term loan is subsisting, is obtained:''

The provisions of section 186 are not applicable since the company advanced the loan before
obtaining loan from financial institution viz Canara Bank. Term loan obtained from a financial
institution has been used only for the purpose for which it has been sanctioned i.e Working capital
requirements. These funds are never utilized for advancing loans or investments purposes.

The Notes on financial statements referred to in the Auditor’s Report are self-explanatory and do not

AUDITORS AND AUDITORS’ REPORT
StatutoryAudit

M/s. KPB & Associates, Statutory Auditor of the Company have conducted the audit for the F.Y.
2023-2024.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 139(2) of the Act and the rules made thereunder, the Members
at their 41st AGM held on September 28th, 2022 appointed M/s. KPB & Associates, Chartered
Accountants (Firm Registration Number: 114841W) as the Statutory Auditors of the Company for a
term of five years, i.e., from the conclusion of the 41st AGM till the conclusion of 46th AGM.

With reference to Independent Auditors Report:

“On January 5, 2023, an incidence of fire occurred at one of the warehouse of the company located
at Bhiwandi, Thane. This incident led to damage of certain property, plant and equipment, inventory
and interrupted business activities. The company had insurance cover against the damaged
inventories. The company had lodged claim of this incident with the insurance company, which has
been finalised during the year and the company has received full and final claim of Rs. 1,24,70,982 /-
on account of damage occured to the plant, property & equipment and inventory. The losses and
corresponding credit arising from insurance claim has been presented as net loss of Rs. 26,81,655/-

under Exceptional items in the above result for the year ended March 31,2024.”

For which our management team, leveraging their extensive knowledge and expertise, has diligently
worked to mitigate this loss. Our efforts have included a comprehensive approach involving the
expansion of our business operations, as well as the implementation of innovative plans, strategies,
and techniques designed to foster growth and we are on the path of progress to achieve the
commitment made to our stakeholders. We believe that these measures will effectively
counterbalance the impact of the exceptional loss and are confident in our ability to deliver on our
commitments.

With reference to point (iv)(1) of Annexure - A to the auditor’s report:

“In respect of grant of loans, making investments and providing guarantees and securities during the
year as referred in Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, the company has failed to comply with
this provision of the Act, as: Any prior approval from Banks / Public Financial Institution viz. Canara
Bank is not on the record”

However, the provision of section 186(5) clearly states ''No investment shall be made or loan or
guarantee or security given by the company unless the resolution sanctioning it is passed at a meeting
of the Board with the consent of all the Directors present at the meeting and the prior approval of the
public financial institution concerned where any term loan is subsisting, is obtained:''

The provisions of section 186 are not applicable since the company advanced the loan before
obtaining loan from financial institution viz Canara Bank. Term loan obtained from a financial
institution has been used only for the purpose for which it has been sanctioned i.e Working capital
requirements. These funds are never utilized for advancing loans or investments purposes.

The Notes on financial statements referred to in the Auditor’s Report are self-explanatory and do not
