(“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, and the
statement of Profit and Loss including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the
Statement of Changes in Equity and statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to
the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies
Act, 2013, as amended (the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2025, and its loss including other comprehensive expense, the changes
in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance
in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

There are no key audit matters for the year under audit to communicate in our report

Other Information

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprise the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements
and our auditor’s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether
the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including
other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable
and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and
fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board
of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also
responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial
controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.

4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.

5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

Mar 31, 2024

We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of DUKE OFFSHORE LIMITED
("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, and the statement of Profit and
Loss including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity and
statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013,
as amended (the "Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2024, and its profit including other comprehensive income, the changes in equity and its cash flows for the
year ended on that date.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ''Auditor''s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements'' section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules there under, we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our
report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the
standalone Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters.
Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our
audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Contingent Liability

Refer Note 24, For the year ended 31st March 2024 the company has contingent liabilities of Rs. 34.42 lakhs
towards contested tax demands/ pending litigation.

A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event from which it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation

and a realisable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability
is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require
an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of
outflow or resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

This area is considered as a key audit matter, as evaluation of these matters requires Management
judgement and estimation, interpretation of laws and regulations and application of relevant judicial
precedents to determine the probability of outcome of ongoing proceedings and outflow of economic
resources, if any, and the recognition of provisions, disclosure of contingent liabilities and related
disclosures to be made in the standalone financial statements.

Audit Procedures to address the Key Audit Matter

We have assessed the company''s accounting policy as per Ind AS-37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets". Obtained details of completed tax assessments and demands for the year ended March
31, 2024 from Management. We reviewed the same to challenge the managements underlying assumptions
in estimating the tax provision and the possible outcome of the disputes. We have also evaluated the
appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures prepared and presented by the management in the financial
statements.

Other Information

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprise
the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our
auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this
auditor''s report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit,
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.

Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

Annexure - B to the Auditor''s Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Duke Offshore Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls.

The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor''s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting ("the Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
