Auditor's Emphasis of Matter (Key Highlights)
The Statutory Auditors included an unmodified opinion but drew attention to the following matters:
1. Investment in SWPL: The company shows an investment of ₹12.01 Crore (26% equity) in South West Port Limited (SWPL). However, SWPL's financial statements reflect the company's holding at only 10%. The differential 16% has been transferred by SWPL to entities that had given advances to the company for share purchases. The company continues to carry the investment at original cost.
2. DRT Recovery Certificate: Axis Bank Ltd., a lender to subsidiary KCTPL, obtained a Recovery Certificate from the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Mumbai, for ₹6,627.20 Lakh based on a Shortfall Undertaking furnished by Starlog Enterprises. This certificate is under challenge in an appeal filed by the company before the DRAT, Mumbai. The matter is sub-judice.
3. Preferential Allotment: The company raised ₹1,500 Lakh in Q1 FY26 by issuing 30,00,000 equity shares at ₹50 per share (including a ₹40 premium) on a preferential basis.
4. (Consolidated) Missing Financials: The company did not receive financial statements from associates South West Port Limited and Alba Asia Pvt Ltd for the period ended March 31, 2026. The financial impact is unascertainable.
5. (Consolidated) KCTPL Matters: Highlighted a service tax payable of ₹251.87 Lakh (net of input credit) where the credit may not be available, and noted that Cumulative Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) of ₹1,000 Lakh issued by KCTPL, due for conversion by October 2016, are still not converted.
Other Key Disclosures

- Preferential Allotment: 30,00,000 equity shares of face value ₹10 were allotted at ₹50 per share, ranking pari-passu with existing shares.
