The absence of an adequate **audit trail** as required by Account Rules. 2.

Management has noted that the prolonged existence of these debts creates uncertainty regarding their eventual settlement. * **Regulatory Sensitivity:** As liquor is a "state subject," the company is entirely dependent on the **Madhya Pradesh State Excise Policy**. Changes in state-level manufacturing or distribution laws directly impact the company's ability to resume operations. * **Legal Contingencies:** The company is currently defending significant claims related to **Direct Tax, Indirect Tax, and general litigation**. These require substantial management judgment and could result in future cash outflows. * **Market Competition:** The company faces intense pressure from the **unorganized sector** and localized industrial competition within the **Pithampur** industrial belt. --- ### **Infrastructure and Facilities** * **Registered Office & Manufacturing Plant:** Plot No. **110, Sector-I, Industrial Area, Pithampur, Dist.
