2 Notes to the standalone
financial statements regarding taking physical and/ or symbolical possession and
initiating auction process on various assets by lenders; however, the company has received
stay order against these proceedings and matter is sub-judicial till date. The management
has not performed any impairment assessment for these assets. Accordingly, we are unable

impact if any on the accompanying standalone financial statements. Our audit opinion on
the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 was also qualified
in respect of this matter. |

Internal Financial Control |
|
The Company did not have

assessment of credit worthiness. Further the internal control system regarding measures
adopted for recovery is not adequate. These could potentially result in material
misstatements in Companys net worth and loans balances |
Internal Control System is
being strengthen. The Guarantees which are outstanding are given for the loans availed by
the Fairdeal Supplies Limited. Fairdeal Supplies Limited is in the process of settling the
dues with the Banks. As on date of the report Fairdeal Supplies Limited has made full
