MANAGEMENTDISCUSSIONANDANALYSIS
Industry structure and developments, opportunities and threats:
The real estate sector in India is comprised of 4 sub-sectors i.e. housing, retail, hospitality, and commercial. The growth of this sector is well complemented by the growth in the corporate environment and the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations. The construction industry ranks third among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect and induced effects in all sectors of the economy. There is a rapid increase in Indian infrastructure and construction industry in last decade. However, the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent lockdown restrictions weighed on the industry's output last year. The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, beginning its impact from November 2021, had adversely affected economic activities and home buyer sentiment on the demand side, and led to stoppages and delays in construction activities and project completions, respectively, on the supply side. Therefore, the construction industry of the country suffered a significant deal during the year 2021.
Though, in the recent past, the industry witnessed a slowdown. But due to speedy urbanization , softening of interest rates on home loans, Reduction in stamp duty on registration of properties in various states, favorable government policies and initiatives like development of smart cities, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) etc. growth in real estate sector is expected to be on rise due to increase in urban housing and commercial space demand. This will create a great opportunity for the construction industry in affordable housing and commercial space.
ACI Infocom Ltd is all set to target the rising demand of affordable housing and commercial space in small- medium cities of India where the size of project in terms of capital investment are relatively low as compared to medium – big cities/ metros. This will give a steady and safe growth to the company. The company is also focusing on redevelopment projects, construction contracts and development projects.
The Company is having excellent team and network of contractors to support and achieve its vision.
Internal control and their adequacy:
ACI Infocom Ltd has an effective system of accounting and administrative controls supported by an internal audit system with proper and adequate system of internal check and controls to ensure safety and proper recording of all assets of the Company and their proper and authorised utilization.
As part of the effort to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control systems, our Company's internal audit committee reviews all the control measures on a periodic basis and recommends improvements, wherever appropriate.
Outlook:
To drive the virtuous cycle of infrastructure investment and job creation, the Union Government has considerably increased the capital expenditure outlay to Rs. 10 Lakh Crore, which is 33% higher than the previous year. The increase in infrastructure spending, especially in tier II and tier III cities is anticipated to have a substantial effect on the Indian economy, generating new employment opportunities and stimulating growth.
. The industry's growth will also be supported by the government's focus on boosting local manufacturing
sector to become self-reliant and reduce dependency on imports. In addition, the government's targets to construct 10 million affordable houses by 2024 and increase the share of renewable energy in total installed power capacity to 60% by 2030 will support the industry's growth over the medium and long term. The industry's growth will also be supported by the government'splan to significantly increase the stock of affordable housing units for low and middle-income cohorts, under the 'Housing for All' program by 2022..
Overall, the demand conditions in India remain conducive to supporting economic activity. India faces the coming financial year with confidence imparted by underlying and overall macroeconomic stability, while being on the alert against geo-political and geo-economic risks.
RisksandConcerns:
Construction industry is highly risk prone, the industry is easily affected by various risks such as Construction risk, Design risk, Environmental risk, Financial risk, Sub-Contractors risk, Procurement risk, Legal risk etc. To overcome the challenging business environment, the Company has proactively undertaken the steps and mitigation procedures/plans are being formulated and monitored to reduce, if not totally eliminate, the risks associated with the above.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors' report thereon
The Company's board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards (AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Report on Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ACI INFOCOM LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31,2024, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
-
- pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
- provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
-
- provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company has assessed that trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term nature of the instruments. Long term Borrowings are evaluated based on parameters such as interest rate and risk characteristic of financial project. Based on the evaluation, no impact has been identified.
Note 34: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of borrowings, trade payables, other payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, other financial assets and cash and cash equivalents that arise directly from its operations.
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.
(A) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including investments and deposits, payables and borrowings.
The Company's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
The sources of risks which the Company is exposed to and their management is given below:
| Risk | Exposure arising | Measurement | Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| from | |||
| Interest rate risk | Long term borrowings at variable rates | Sensitivity analysis, interest rate movements | Interest rate swaps and loan |
| takeover for long termborrowings | |||
| diversification | |||
| Credit risk | Trade receivables, derivative financial |
Ageing analysis, credit rating | Credit monitoring, credit limit and |
| instruments | credit worthiness monitoring o f | ||
| the counter parties | |||
| Liquidity risk | Borrowings and other financial liabilities | Rolling cash flow forecasts | Borrowing facilities diversification |
Details relating to the risks are provided here below:
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates to import of modules, wherever required.
The Company regularly evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows the established risk management policies. It uses derivative instruments like forward covers/swap to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the foreign currency exposure.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in prevailing market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk due to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's borrowings with floating interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting period. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and revisits its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a customer contract or financial instrument, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily trade receivables and from its financing/investing activities, including deposits with banks and foreign exchange transactions.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure.
a. Trade receivables
The Company has already evaluated the credit worthiness of its customers and did not find any credit risk related to trade receivables. As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience to mitigate the risk of default in payments and makes appropriate provision at each reporting date wherever outstanding is for longer period and involves higher risk. Total trade receivables as on 31 March 2024 is NIL.

(b). Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits, is generally low as the Company has transacted with reputed banks.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The management is responsible for managing liquidity, funding as well as settlement. Further the management monitors the Company's liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below provides details of financial liabilities further, based on contractual undiscounted payments.
