We have audited the accompanying financial statements of REGENCY CERAMICS LIMITED ("the company"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other
comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year
ended on that date, and a summary of the Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(herein after referred to as "the financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the
possible effects of our observations stated in "Basis of Qualified Opinion" section below, the accompanying
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under
Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies(Indian Accounting Standards)Rules, 2015, as amended,
("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at March 31, 2025, the profit or loss and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. Financial statements were prepared without considering the effect of the loss / damage to Buildings, Plant &
Machinery and other assets of the company. The condition of the fixed assets & its realizable value could not be
estimated post declaration of lock out of the plant on 31.01.2012. The Fixed Assets(after scrapping some Plant &
Machinery) are disclosed at book value after providing depreciation on account of efflux of time.
2. During the Year ended 31st March 2025, the company has not provided the provisional liability towards salary,
wages and other benefits to its factory employees. Further, the company has not provided for its liability towards
Gratuity and leave encashment in accordance with Ind AS-19 "Employee Benefits". We are unable to comment
upon the impact of non-provision on the profit or loss of the company for the Year ended 31st March 2025 and on
the current liabilities as at 31st March 2025.
3. Confirmation of balances was not obtained from Debtors, Creditors, loans and advances and other current assets.
4. The company did not provide the interest on Unsecured loans received from Directors and Body Corporates. Also,
interest has not been provided in respect of overdue amount payable to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
suppliers for a period exceeding 15 days.
5. The company has not provided liability towards interest and penalties payable on account of old statutory dues.
6. On verification of Inventory records we are unable to comment on the accuracy of valuation of Inventories.
Consequent to the above, Profit for the year ended is overstated and Liabilities as on 31st March 2025 was
understated and Shareholders Funds are Overstated to this extent.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors
responsibility for the Audit of Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the
Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our Qualified Opinion on the financial statements.
Material Uncertainty relating to GOING CONCERN
We draw attention to Note. NO.1 to the financial statements regarding the preparation of financial statements
on a going concern basis, despite erosion of the net worth. However, the accompanying financial statements
have been prepared on "GOING CONCERN" basis for the reasons stated in the said note. The business activities
of the Company have been initiated resulting in revenue and consequent cash flows. Our opinion is not
modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit matters
Except for the matter described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion section and Material Uncertainty Related to
Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our
report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in
accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with
relevant rules issued there under and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions
of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the company and for preventing and detecting the frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates
that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial
controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the company's ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also
responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls in
place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have
complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 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 audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
