Auditor Remark:
As disclosed in Note No. 2 to the standalone financial statements, the
Company holds a long-term investment of 80.00 lakhs in its Subsidiary, which had
undertaken a Cochlear Implant Project. Over the past eight years, the Subsidiary has
incurred cumulative project-related expenditure amounting to 92.63 lakhs. However, the
project has remained suspended for the last two financial years, with no additional
capital outlay during this period.
Despite the investment being carried at cost in the standalone
financial statements, the extended suspension of the project has necessitated an
assessment of the recoverability of the carrying value of this investment. Management has
represented that the project is expected to recommence in the near future.
The impairment assessment involves significant judgement, including
evaluation of future business plans, estimated cash flows, and the expected timing and
viability of project execution. Given the inherent subjectivity and the materiality of the
investment, we considered this as a matter of significance in assessing the
appropriateness of the carrying value of the investment in the Subsidiary.
Board Remarks:
The Board of Directors has taken note of the auditor's observation
regarding the Company's investment of 80 lakhs in its Subsidiary, which had
undertaken the Cochlear Implant Project and has remained suspended for the past two
financial years.
The Board would like to clarify the following:
1. The project continues to hold strategic and commercial
relevance in the healthcare sector, and the demand for such products remains promising in
the market.
2. The Subsidiary is actively working towards restarting the
project, including making technical improvements, seeking necessary regulatory approvals,
and exploring partnerships.
3. Based on the internal impairment assessment carried out by
the management, no loss in the carrying value of the investment is considered necessary at
this stage.
4. The Board is closely monitoring the progress of the project
and associated risks, and assures that appropriate action will be taken as and when
required.
In view of the above, the Board believes that it is reasonable to
continue carrying the investment at its current value in the standalone financial
statements.
Further, the Board of Directors have also taken on record the Remark of
Auditor with respect to Audit Trail (edit log) facility at Kolkata Branch and duly adopted
and installed the accounting software for the same for maintaining its books of account
