We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Procal Electronics India Limited ('the Company”) which comprise of the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, because of the significance of the matter described in the basis for adverse opinion section of our report the accompanying Ind AS financial statements do not give a true and fair view in conformity with the Ind AS and accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the company as at 31st March,2024 and its loss and total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year then ended on that date.
Basis for Adverse Opinion
1. Matters Related to Going Concern: The Company's net worth is eroded completely due to continued operational losses incurred by the company and there are no business activities in the company. The Company has incurred cash loss during the current year and earlier years. The Company has not carried out any manufacturing or trading activity since last few years. Company's manufacturing unit at Silvassa along with all the assets , inventories etc. are under control of it's banker Canara Bank in view of the loans taken from bank and GSFC which have been classified as NPA as per IRAC norms, due to nonpayment of outstanding dues. Canara Bank has issued notice to company & guarantors under the securitization Act, one of the guarantor has appealed the said notice with DRT. The legal matter with bank is still not settled and is under progress. We were communicated by the management, that the company is in process of settling the pending dues with bank and/or identifying the other alternative plans. The above factors cast significant uncertainty on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in our opinion.
2. Inventory of Raw Material & Finished goods: Inventory consists of Raw Material & Finished goods which are lying at Silvassa Manufacturing unit of the company. The said unit is in the possession of Canara Bank (the lender) and hence the management express its inability to physically verify and ascertain the fair value of the inventory. In View of the above, the inventory carried at cost in the financial statements in our opinion is not reasonable since there must have been depletion in its value as it is in a lock out position for a prolonged period.
3. Property, Plant and Equipments (Fixed Assets) : Since most of the fixed assets are under the control of Banks/ Financial Institutions the physical verification of the assets could not be done by the management and the auditor during the year. Further the fixed assets are under the control of Banks/ Financial Institution, the valuation and physical existence of the assets couldn't be commented upon. The company did not provide us the details of these fixed assets. The plant and machinery and factory building is in a lockout state for a prolonged period as a result of which it is expected that the realizable value of such assets
shall not be ascertainable. As informed to us, Canara bank has gone for E Auction( dt- 08.02.2023) for sale of Immovable Properties under the SARFAESI Act, 2002 with a reserve price of Rs.24.53 lakh. In the E-auction notice Canara Bank has mentioned the outstanding liabilities as on 31.01.2023 is Rs.64.64 Crores. Further we have been informed by the management that Canara Bank has Sold the Land and Building Mortgaged with them and under their possession and realized an amount of Rs 49lacs appx towards their dues. The details documents has not been provided to us. So we are unable to comment on the above transaction. The financial transaction has not been accounted for in the financial statement. So the to this effect, the financial statement do not give true and fair view. The management has informed to us that they have given a proposal for one time settlement (OTS) to the Canara bank. The outcome of the proposal is yet to be received.
4. Bank Account: The bank accounts of the company were inoperative pending KYC Compliances. All the payments on behalf of the company has been made from director own source of accounts.
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 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAl’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse audit opinion on the financial statements.

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other Information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report Including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, 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 are 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.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with Respect to the preparation of these financial statements that gives a true and fair view of the financial position,
Financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS 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 the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting 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 the 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, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management 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 Responsibilities 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 skepticism 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 system 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 adoption 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 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 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.
