There are no qualifications, reservations, adverse remarks or disclaimers made by M/s. Pravin Chandak & Associates., Statutory Auditors, in their Audit Report.

The Company is carrying on business of Finance and Investment without holding valid Certificate of Registration u/s 45IA of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, which attracts the penalty of Rs. 5 Lacs u/s 58B (4-A) of the RBI Act, 1934.

The management to make good of said default Company had decided to make application to RBI for obtaining COR from RBI, however RBI had stop considering any fresh application for granting COR to existing Company. With the view of that Company has diversified its business line and started new business of Trading in Textile and more than 50% of the total revenue is been generated from Textile Business, hence the company no longer qualifies to be an NBFC company and dispense the requirement of obtaining COR from RBI.

As far as making of Loan and Advances are concerned, management grants demand loan only either to the parties known to the Company or by reference therefore in some cases loan agreements were not executed. The Loan and Advances granted by the Company is considered as good and recoverable and do not required any provisions and same has been closely supervised and monitored on regular basis and proper internal control is on place.

However, the soft copy of the minutes was produced before the auditor and the same was verified by them.

The size of the Company is very small as compared to its peer group companies; the Company has also established Risk Management Policy in place to mitigate unforeseeable risks and frauds. The management thinks that Company has adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the Statutory Auditor also conduct test audit on quarterly basis and submit the limited review certificate and draws the attention of the management on concerned matters. However the Management also ensures to strengthen the Internal Control System of the Company. The Company has appointed M/s. A.M. Gohel & Co. as the Internal Auditor for conducting periodic internal audit in compliance of Section 138 of Companies Act, 2013.

Mrs. Tanu Agarwal, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, was appointed as the Whole Time Director of M/s. Shree Nath Commercial & Finance Limited, a group company as both the companies are group company under the same management, which allows to devote full time to both the companies. However the same contravenes the provision of section 203 of Companies Act, 2013.
