What the monitoring agency found
- Deviation from the objects of the issue: Nil; range of deviation: Not Applicable.
- Whether all utilisation is as per the disclosures in the Offer Document: Yes, reviewed against bank statements, a chartered accountant's certificate and a management certificate.
- The utilisation towards repayment and/or prepayment of certain borrowings was adjusted against the amount allocated for issue-related expenses, as permissible under the Letter of Offer, without any change in the overall objects of the issue. The Board noted that utilisation is in line with the objects of the rights issue.

How to read this
A rights issue is fresh money raised from existing shareholders. Because shareholder money is involved, an independent agency keeps track of whether the company spends it on the purposes promised in the offer document and reports every quarter. A report showing Nil deviation is a routine, clean update rather than a new business development.
Two details worth noting. First, the amount budgeted for issue-related expenses was partly used for repaying borrowings instead, which the Letter of Offer allows. Second, the agency states that its report is based on information and certificates provided by the company, and that it does not audit or independently verify them.
