DISCLAIMER MADE (1) BY THE STATUTORY AUDITORS IN
THEIR REPORT AND (2) BY THE COMPANY SECRETARIES
IN PRACTICE IN THEIR SECRETARIAL AUDIT REPORT:

(1) Statutory Auditors qualification/comments on Company’s
financial statement.

We draw your attention to Note No. 33 to the financial statements
which states that the Company has ceased production and revenue
operations from the financial year ended March 31, 2016 and
incurred net loss of Rs. 1,928.71 Lakhs for the year ended March
31, 2025 and accumulated losses aggregate to Rs. 16,657.76
Lakhs as of March 31, 2025. There is no production of LED
TVs from April, 2015 and of Air Conditioners since June, 2015
onwards in the absence of any orders. However, the management
considers the going concern assumption as appropriate in view
of continued financial and operational support from the holding
company.

Significant time has elapsed after cessation of the production
activity and in the absence of Board approved business plan
and scheme of revival, the impact on the financial statements
which have been prepared by the management under the going
concern assumption, cannot be ascertained.

Management response to statutory Auditors qualification /
comment on the Company’s financial statement.

During the quarter and year ended on March 31, 2025, the
Company incurred a loss of Rs. 457.13 Lakhs and Rs. 1,928.71
Lakhs respectively. The accumulated losses of the Company
as at March 31, 2025, are Rs. 16,657.76 Lakhs. There is no
production of LED TVs from April, 2015 and of Air Conditioners
since June, 2015 onwards in the absence of any orders.

However, the Company continues to receive financial and
operational support from Sharp Corporation, Japan, the majority
shareholder and holding company and as at March 31, 2025, the
Company has received a support letter from Sharp Corporation,
Japan for financial and operational support until March 31, 2026.
Based on this continued support from the holding company, the
management is of the opinion that the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, the recognition and
measurement of assets has been considered at cost in case of
Freehold Land and that in case of other assets, at lower of their
carrying value or net realizable value. Therefore, in the opinion
of the management, no further adjustments would be required if
going concern assumption is not considered as appropriate.
