If there is no activity in the business during the year. Depreciation should be provided or not in such year?

The facts are as under:

1. I am the auditor of X Pvt. Ltd., who has pledged certain investments (shares in listed company) owned by it, to secure the debt take by its sister concern A Limited.

2. A Limited defaulted, consequently the lender of A Ltd. sold off the investments belonging to X Private Limited to recover its part debit.

The Query is:

1. What treatment should X Pvt. Ltd. give in its books and why? that is should is show as Sale of Investment or continue to show investment.

2. At what price should X Pvt. Ltd. show sale of investment (it also do not have the details as to the price at which the lender of A Limited has sold the investments)

Thank You

For confirmation, does the auditor directly has to send letters to the parties or the company sends it and asks to reply directly to the Auditor??
