16. BOARD COMMENTS ON THE REMARKS MADE BY THE AUDITOR IN AUDITORS' REPORT:
The Auditors' Report has the following disclosures:
The erstwhile LLP "Acetech Ventures LLP" has taken loan from its designated partners and partners
and the relative and friends of designated partner and partner. On the date of its conversion, the loan stands in the books of the company as unsecured loan from others.
As per the Companies act, 2013, for the year ended 31st March, 2013, the status of the entity is a
PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY and these loans are considered as DEPOSIT as per Section 73 and 76 of the Companies' Act, 2013 read with The Companies (Acceptance of Deposit) Rules, 2014.
The entity was a LLP for the major part of the financial year 01/04/2023 to 20/02/2024 and a PUBLIC
LIMITED COMPANY from 21/2/2024 to 31/03/2024. Hence, the payment of these loan amount upon conversion of the LLP into Public Company could not be done before the closing of the year.
As on the date of signing of this report, repayment of the said deemed deposit amounting to Rs. 2,43,30,445 is still pending at the Company's end.
Board's Reply:
As the Company's status was LLP for a major part of the financial year, acceptance of loan in LLP was never prohibited. Upon the date of conversion from LLP to Public limited Company, these amount came under the ambit of "Deposits". Further, as the law is silent on these kind of transactions upon conversion of entity into different structure altogether, it becomes difficult to assess the time line for repayment of these amounts.
The default under section 73 and 76 of the Companies Act, 2013 is purely due to conversion
formalities taking place and not an intentional default. The Company is trying to repay the loan amount as soon as possible.
The Notes on Financial Statement referred to in the Statutory Auditors Report are self-explanatory and do not call for any future comments.
