Crystal Limited recently received a communication from the Central Government requesting the preparation of periodical financial results along with the completion of either a full audit or a limited review of these financial results. The Board of Directors, however, has raised an objection, arguing that Crystal Limited, being an unlisted company, are not obligated to prepare periodical financial results. Analyze the situation, citing relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, with respect to the company's obligation regarding the preparation of periodical financial results.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

(a) The Central Government may, require such class or classes of unlisted companies, as may be prescribed: (a) to prepare the financial results of the company on periodical basis and in prescribed form (b) to obtain approval of the Board of Directors and complete audit or limited review of such periodical financial results in the prescribed manner; and (c) file a copy with the Registrar within a period of thirty days of completion of the relevant period with such fees as may be prescribed. Therefore, the objection of the Board of Directors on the ground that as Crystal Limited is an unlisted company, periodical financial results need not be prepared, is not correct. Section 129A clearly specifies that even unlisted company has to prepare Periodical Financial Results.
