Binani Industries Clarifies Financial Reporting Discrepancies with NSE
Binani Industries Limited clarified discrepancies in its financial results submission to NSE. The company explained an error in the auditor's report regarding subsidiaries and provided a corrected version. Delays in submission were attributed to technical issues. The company also noted accumulated losses of ₹21,682 lakhs and eroded net worth as of September 30, 2024.
The clarification addresses potential non-compliance issues with stock exchange regulations, which could have an impact on investor confidence and regulatory standing. The financial health highlighted in the auditor's report also indicates a significant impact.
The announcement is a clarification of previously submitted financial results and does not contain new positive or negative financial performance information. It addresses queries from the stock exchange.
Binani Industries Limited has responded to the National Stock Exchange of India's (NSE) email dated December 11, 2024, seeking clarifications on its financial results. The company addressed several points raised by the exchange.
Regarding the discrepancy in the consolidated financial statements (CFS) where only one subsidiary's financials were included while the auditor's report mentioned two, Binani Industries clarified that one subsidiary's name was struck off during FY 2023-24. The auditor's report erroneously mentioned both companies, and a corrected auditor's report has been attached along with the financial results.
Concerning the submission of financial results not being in the format prescribed by SEBI, with identical standalone and consolidated results, the company stated that the standalone and consolidated financial results, including the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow statements, were submitted separately as per SEBI LODR format. They explained that since the subsidiary has minimal operations, the standalone and consolidated statements appear similar, with minor differences in expenses.
Binani Industries also addressed the delay in submitting machine-readable financial results and the results submission, citing sudden low internet speed as the reason for a few minutes' delay. They have attached the financial results in machine-readable format and a corrected version with the signing authority indicated as 'Managing Director'.
Furthermore, the company provided details on financial guarantees and letters of comfort issued for erstwhile subsidiaries Edayer Zinc Limited (Rs. 8,025 lakhs) and BIL Infratech Limited (Rs. 5,171 lakhs). They also noted a legal case filed by M/s Maharashtra Wood Based Industries Estate (MWBIE) regarding the sale of land in Wada, which is currently sub-judice.
The independent auditor's report highlighted that the company has accumulated losses of Rs. 21,682 lakhs and its net worth has been fully eroded as of September 30, 2024. Liabilities exceeded total assets by Rs. 18,543 lakhs. The promoter company, Triton Trading Company Private Limited, has committed to provide continued operational support. However, due to the absence of a business plan, the going concern assumption is not considered appropriate, and the financial statements have been prepared on a liquidation basis.
