Innovative Tyres and Tubes Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Qualified
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Innovative Tyres and Tubes Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âfinancial statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
(a) The Company has accepted advances for the supply of goods from 13 parties amounts to Rs 49.27 Lakhs but such advance has not been appropriated against supply of goods within a period of three hundred and sixty-five days from the date of acceptance of such advances which is a contravention of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013.
(b) The Company has reversed Input Tax Credit of Rs 28.98 lakhs in the books of accounts due to non-payment of creditors for more than 180 days. However, the said GST input tax credit has not been reversed on the GST portal. To that extent, there exists a difference between the GST balance as per Books and GST balance as per GST portal;
(c) We have not been provided with Balance Confirmations of Major Debtors and Creditors. We have performed substantive procedures. However, Balances of Debtors and Creditors including Advances from customer and Advances to Suppliers are subject to reconciliation/ confirmation from parties.
(d) The Company has made export sales of Rs 69.24 Lacs to a Party which has not realized within 9 months of the date of export. The company has not applied to AD Bank for extension of the time limit of export realization. Non-realization of export proceeds within a period of 9 months from the date of export of goods leads to non-compliance as per Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2015.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 ("ICAIâ) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules 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.
Emphasis of Matter
(a) We draw attention to Note Z(A)(1)(Q) of the financial statement wherein:
As per the Honâble NCLTâs order, the company is required to make payment to creditors as per the implementation schedule. The Company has made payments for the due creditors as per the implementation schedule of the Resolution Plan except for Rs. 4.71 lacs pertaining to a creditor and certain past employees for want of their banking details. This remaining amount has been deposited in a special account maintained by the Resolution Applicant M/s Ten on Ten Pvt Ltd. Subsequent to that the amount has been kept as Fixed deposit by the resolution applicant as per the decision of the monitoring committee.
Our report is not modified in respect of these matters.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Except for the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section above, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the management are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs Information are expected to be made available to us.
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 in the 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 ih this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Companyâs 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 give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder. 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 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, the management are responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 this 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 control 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 with reference to financial statements 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

the financial impact of impairment loss to be provided in annual
financial results is presently not ascertainable.
(e) The company has not appointed an internal auditor as required
under Section 138 of The Companies Act, 2013.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules
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.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment,
were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of
the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters. Except for the matters described in the Basis for Qualified
Opinion section above, we have determined that there are no other
key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Resolution Professional (RP), Board of Directors and the
management are responsible for 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, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information,
but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report
thereon.
Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including
Annexures to Board''s Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s
Information are expected to be made available to us
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 in the 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.
The Resolution Professional (RP) and 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 give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with
relevant rules issued thereunder. 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 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, the resolution professional (RP)
and the management are 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 management either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but
to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
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 this financial statements. As part of an audit in
accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠I dentify 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 control 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 with reference
to financial statements 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 resolution professional (RP)
and 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
year 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.
