First of all, as an auditor, u should have shown this thing in contingent liability in the previous years.
In the current year, the investment shud be shown as sold at the amount which is recovered from the lender of A Limited (after deducting his dues to ur sister concern)
Accordingly profit/loss on sale of asset shud be calculated. U can always refer a note in Notes to accounts of the financials highlighting such treatment so that the reader do not get confused about the loss incured by the Company
