Explanations or comments by the Board on qualification(s), reservation(s) or adverse remark(s) or Matter of Emphasis
are as follows:

Management Reply to Statutory Auditors' Remarks

M/s Ashwani & Associates, Chartered Accountants, were appointed as Statutory Auditors of the Company for the Financial
Year 2024-25. Following are the 'Basis for Adverse opinion' as pointed out by the Auditors in their Independent Auditors
Report dated 3rd June, 2025

Basis for Adverse Opinion

I. As per the company's stated accounting policy, as per Note 2(vii)(a) to the Financial Statements, inventory is to be
valued using the FIFO Method. However, the inventory of raw materials is valued on the basis of “last purchase rate"
and is carried in the Balance Sheet at Rs.1156.59 lacs (gross) as at 31.03.2025 (Note No. 8). The Management has not
provided us the valuation of the inventory as per the FIFO Method. The calculation of raw material of inventory as per
the last purchase cost is also not in compliance with the provisions of Ind AS 2 on Inventories. Further, the gross value
of inventories of raw material as at 31.03.2025 is being carried out in the Balance Sheet at Rs.1156.59 lacs. Whereas,
as per the ERP data gross value of inventories of raw material as at 31.03.2025 comes to Rs.1663.58 lacs. The resulting
difference of Rs.506.99 lacs is pending to be reconciled as at 31.03.2025.

II. As per the Company's accounting policy disclosed at Note No. 2(vii)(b), cost of work in process includes cost of material
plus direct labour. However, the inventory of work in process carried in the Balance Sheet at Rs.73.26 lacs (Note No. 8
of the Financial Statements) has been valued only at material cost. Further, the material cost is calculated on the basis
of last purchase rate method.

III. As per the Company's accounting policy disclosed at Note No. 2(vii)(c), cost of finished sub-assemblies includes cost
of material plus overheads apportioned on the same. However, the inventory of finished sub-assemblies carried in the
Balance Sheet at Rs.482.75 lacs (Note No. 8 of the Financial Statements) has been valued only at material cost. Further,
the material cost is calculated on the basis of last purchase rate method.

IV. As regards net trade receivables amounting to Rs.974.76 lacs as at 31.03.2025, management is of the view that the
same are good and recoverable in due course and hence, no further provision is required. Out of the above trade
receivables balances to the extent of Rs.306.67 lacs are outstanding for more than three years. In the absence of
appropriate audit evidences including balance confirmations, correspondence from parties and data in respect of
future progressive payments, we are unable to comment on the receivability of balance outstanding trade receivables
outstanding for more than three years amounting to Rs. Rs.306.67 lacs and the possible impact on the loss for the year
ended on that date and on the balance of trade receivables as at 31.03.2025.

V. As regards net trade payables amounting to Rs.1449.10 lacs as at 31.03.2025, management is of the view that the
same are undisputed and payable in due course. Out of the above trade payables balances to the extent of Rs.1253.76
lacs are outstanding for more than three years. In the absence of appropriate audit evidences including balance
confirmations and correspondence from parties, we are unable to comment on the correctness of balance outstanding
of trade payables as at 31.03.2025.

VI. As required by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, the company should have an accounting policy to estimate Expected

Credit Loss (ECL) for measuring impairment of its trade receivables and other financial assets. However, we observed
that the company is not following any accounting policy to estimate ECL. In the absence of estimation of ECL as at
31.03.2025, we are unable to comment on the possible impact on the loss for the year ended on that date.

As a consequence, the above-mentioned material misstatements are deemed to be pervasive to the financial
statements. The effect of the misstatements on the financial statements have not been determined because it was not
practical to do so.

Accordingly, due to the significance of the matters described above, the financial statements do not present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31st March, 2025, and its financial performance and
cash flows for the year ended, in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013, read with the relevant rules issued there under.

Key Audit Matters

Except for the matters described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section, we have determined that there is no other
key audit matter to communicate in our report.

Management Remarks on "Basis of Adverse Opinion"

The Management is of the strong view that the “Adverse Opinion" given by the Statutory Auditor is erroneous, based
both upon the facts as well as the principles laid down in Ind AS 109 and SA 705 and 706, laying down certain grounds

for the Auditor's Opinion according to which an auditor can provide an “Adverse Opinion" on the audited financial
results only after
obtaining the sufficient appropriate audit evidence with a conclusion which is both material and
pervasive
to the Financials. The relevant provisions are reproduced hereunder:

"SA 705

Adverse Opinion

8. The Auditor shall express an Adverse Opinion when the Auditor, having obtained sufficient appropriate audit
evidence
, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the aggregate, are both material and pervasive to the
Financial Statements.

Disclaimer of Opinion

9. The Auditor shall Disclaim an Opinion when the Auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence

on which to base the Opinion, and the Auditor concludes that the possible effects on the Financial Statements of
undetected misstatements, if any,
could be both material and pervasive.

10. The Auditor shall Disclaim an Opinion when, in extremely rare circumstances involving multiple uncertainties, the
Auditor concludes that, not withstanding
having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding each of
the individual uncertainties, it is not possible to form an Opinion on the Financial Statements due to the potential
interaction of the uncertainties and their possible cumulative effect on the Financial Statements."

As clearly evident, as per SA 705 in case an Auditor fails to determine the impact of his qualifications, it cannot be a
ground for Adverse Opinion. At the best it can be a case of
Disclaimer of Opinion on such items. However, all the points
from I to VI in
Basis for Adverse Opinion of the Statutory Auditor's Report ultimately express inability of the Statutory
Auditor to determine the impact of such items. Unless a Statutory Auditor is able to quantify and ascertain the impact
of his observations on the Financial Statements, no
Adverse Opinion can be expressed. In case of an Adverse Opinion
the Statutory Auditor has to bring out precisely the impact of his observations on the various components of Revenue
Statement and/or Balance Sheet of the entity. Further, principles laid down in Ind As 109 with regard to ECL model
lays down that in case of trade receivables simplified approach with regard to provision can be adopted and no
complicated model of ECL may be required. Hence, provision in respect of trade receivables can be worked out looking
at the conduct of various accounts and legal cases if any in such cases. Non receipt of confirmations from the trade
receivables and the trade payables can be a subject matter of qualification but not for an
Adverse Opinion. All the
above remarks were presented to the Statutory Auditor for his consideration. Lastly, such qualifications given by the
Auditor have been given for the first time. Thus, the management hereby expresses its reservations/ dissent on the
audit report dated 3rd June, 2025 on Audited Financial Results for the period ended 31st March, 2025. However, the
management shall pursue the matter and will look into the probable causes & corrective actions to be taken by the
company internally, in this regard.

State of the Company's Affairs

During the Financial Year 2024-25, Puncom succeeded to increase the sales by approx 9% as compared to the previous
Financial Year. Our Company had bagged two big tenders during the Financial Year 2024-2025, one from Southern Railway,
Tambram (Chennai), which is a turnkey project having value of Rs.10.59 crore and the another one is from RRVPNL, Jaipur i.e.

Power Sector (PLCC & Protection coupler ) having value of Rs 13 crore . Power sector tender of RRVPNL will be completed in
two years, one lot in Financial Year 2025-2026 and 2nd Lot in Financial Year 2026-2027. We are also trying to grab maximum
work from private parties by approaching/ contacting them (Railway & Power sector) related to Mux, Power Plant, Control
equipments, PLCC and LMUs. Beside this Company is also participating aggressively in new technology tenders IP- MPLS,
Surveillance and Railway coach guidance equipments.

Corporate Plan/ Market Scenario of our products

As most of our products have completed their life, Puncom is still striving with some relevant products. Here is market status
of our products.

1. LMU (Line Matching Unit):- It is a low cost product used to couple the high frequency communication signal to high
voltage powerline. Puncom is very competitive in this product compared to our competitors and supplying it to
different State Power Transmission companies. This product being the outdoor unit has a life so power transmission
companies have to replenish it after some time. New state transmission corporations are being explored where LMU
can be supplied.

Puncom is also making arrangements with M/s General Electric (M/s GE) for supply of LMUs in Indian market.

2. PLCC (Power Line Carrier Communication):- Voice and low rate data using modem is modulated to high frequency
& after power amplification it is transmitted over high voltage power line. Puncom is having analog PLCC system
whose demand is on decline, but due to low cost compared to digital PLCC, some power transmission companies are
still opting it. This product is normally deployed with Protection coupler (to send commands for relay operation to
connect/disconnect power station/substation from power transmission line) which Puncom has to outsource from
other companies. To compete, Puncom has tested its PLCC at preliminary level with Protection coupler of ZIV Spain and
got it type tested also.

3. V-Mux (Versatile Multiplexer):- V-Mux provides full range of managed voice and data services in E1(2 megabits/sec)
stream used by Railways at different locations. But as Railways is upgrading to higher number of ports and speed, this
product is also losing demand. Puncom is getting orders of this product in small quantity where higher end equipment
is not required.

As Railways has shifted to voice communication on VOIP and backbone communication on IP-MPLS. Puncom has
empanelled companies for Integrated multiplexer and IP-MPLS routers to execute railway projects.

4. CCEO (Control Communication Equipment for OFC):- It is two wire omni -directional voice communication system
used for communication between control room and substation and level crossing gates. Call control is through dual
tone multi frequency. This product was developed a few years back for railways and we got a few orders on zone basis
demand and criterion as some other zones are opting other ways of communication. (like IP/Ethernet based products).

5. Power Plant (48V/25A/12.5A) :-Railways is buyer of this product and still in demand but cost of product is higher
compared to the competitors. Puncom has reduced its cost by 20% by making alternatives of costly components &
changes in system.

As our products are in low demand, Puncom is exploring Railway zones and Power transmission subdivisions where
small quantity orders can be sought.

Puncom is undertaking annual maintenance/repair contracts of their own products from various customers which
contribute good revenue. It also highlights that Puncom is always ready to provide after sales support to customers.

Telecom Scenario in India and Puncom approach

For Indian telecommunications industry, 2022 was a significant year, with the services taking another generational leap
with the launch of 5G services in the country. The digital infrastructure industry stood up to the challenge and commenced
the task of densification of networks, so demand of devices which support 5G primarily focusing in areas like smart class
rooms, precision farming, intelligent transportation and healthcare is increased. Government of India has launched the
production linked incentives scheme to give incentives on basis of domestic manufacturing of telecom and networking
products. Presently Puncom's main customers are Railways and Power transmission corporations (center & states). Most
of products were developed before 2010,now they are not technologically competitive but there are some areas where
customer demand is low cost solution, Puncom is supplying its products (like PLCC and Multiplexer)to such areas. Areas
where high end product is required, Puncom is bidding by empanelling the manufacturers e.g. IP-MPLS & Integrated Mux.
Puncom is also making arrangement for supply of LMU.

Reserves and Surplus

Due to losses in the current year, no amount was carried over to Reserve and Surplus. Instead, the reserve have seen utilized
to the extent of Rs.28 lacs.

Dividend

Due to losses in the current year, the Directors of the Company do not recommend any dividend for the Financial Year
2024-25.

directors.

the directors during the Financial Year 2024-25. Further, the members decided to evaluate the performance of the KMP's
only during the Financial Year 2024-25, as the committee members due to their roles & responsibilities have very less
interaction with the Senior Management/ HOD's of the Company, thus their evaluation is not possible by the committee.

Internal Financial Controls

The Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. However, the Statutory
Auditors in its Independent Audit Report dated 3rd June, 2025 has given its report on Internal Financial Controls as Annexure
B and is summarized as follows :-

(a) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system for correct valuation of inventory. Further,
the internal control system for identification & allocation of overheads to inventory is also not followed.
These could potentially result in material misstatements in the company's inventory, andConsumption.
(Refertopara"Basisforadverseopinion"intheindependentAuditor'sreport)

(b) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system for customer balance confirmation, customer
balance reconciliation and ageing analysis of outstanding trade receivables, which could potentially result in material
misstatements in the company's trade receivables.(Refer to para "Basis for adverse opinion" in the independent
Auditor's report)

(c) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system for supplier balance confirmation, supplier
balance reconciliation and ageing analysis of outstanding trade payables, which could potentially result in material
misstatements in the company's trade payables.(Refer to para "Basis for adverse opinion" in the independent Auditor's
report).

As per opinion of Statutory Auditor, the Company has not maintained adequate internal financial controls over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were not operating effectively as of 31st March,
2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Non-maintenance of Cost Records

The disclosure with respect to maintenance of cost records as specified by the Central Government under sub-section (1)

are made and maintained.

Disclosure under IBC

There is no application made or any proceedings pending under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016)
during the year under review. Accordingly, the status as at end of current Financial Year may be treated as NIL.
