To the Members of Minal Industries Limited Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Minal Industries Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2024, the statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), as amended, 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 loss including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under sub-section (10) of Section 143 of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the ''Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note.40 of the standalone financial statement which explains that the Company has incurred total accumulated loss of Rs. 2035.91 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2024 and Rs. 1689.87 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2023. The Company''s ability to meet its obligations is dependent on uncertain events including time bound monetisation of assets. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to this matter, management continues to strengthen its strategy to expand its market in order for the Company to increase its sales and eventually generate profit. In spite of these events or conditions which may cast a doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern, the management is of the opinion that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in view of the continued financial support from its Promoters. Accordingly, the standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
a. We draw attention to note 32.1 of the standalone financial statement which explains that interest income for the year ended March 31, 2024 has not been accrued for loan given to Minal Infojewels Limited (''Subsidiary'') since uncertainty exists for interest already accrued and pending realisation till March 31, 2024 due to accumulated losses of the Subsidiary. As explained to us, the management is in the process of identification of growth opportunities for the Subsidiary which will ultimately allow the Company to realise the aggregate interest and loan amount outstanding as at March 31, 2024.
b. We draw attention to note32.2 of the standalone financial statement which explains that no further adjustment is necessary for impairing the carrying cost (net of provisions) of investments of Rs. 635 lakhs and loans amounting to Rs. 1,187.96 lakhs which is outstanding as an 31st March,2024. As explained to us, the management is in the process of identification of growth opportunities for the Subsidiary which will ultimately appreciate the value of investments made and loans given by the Company outstanding as at March 31, 2024.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 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 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 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 financial statements.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Valuation of Inventories (as described in note no. 1.1(IX) of the significant accounting policies, and note no. 6 for details in standalone financial statements) |
|
|
The Company held Rs.1,028.09 Lakhs of inventories as on March 31, 2024. Considering the primary nature of business, reduction in volume of operations and the size of the inventory balance relative to the total assets of the Company and the estimates and judgements described below, the valuation of inventory required significant audit attention. As disclosed in note 6 inventories are held at the lower of cost or net realisable value. At year end, the valuation of inventory is reviewed by management and the cost of inventory is reduced where inventory is forecast to be sold below cost. The determination of whether inventory will be realised for a value less than cost requires management to exercise judgement and apply assumptions. Management undertake the following procedures for determining the level of write down required: - Use inventory ageing reports together with historical trends to estimate the likely future saleability of slow moving and older inventory lines; - Perform a line-by-line analysis of remaining inventory to ensure it is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and a specific write down is recognised if required. Refer to |
We have performed the following procedures over the valuation ofinventory: a. We tested that the ageing report used by manageme correctly agedinventory items. b. On a sample basis we tested the net realisable value ( inventory linesto recent selling prices. From the procedures performed we have no matters to report. |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do 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 and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during 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.
Responsibilities of the Management for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in sub-section (5) of Section 134 of 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 standalone financial statements 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, the management are 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 the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 isstatement 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under clause (i) of sub-section (3) of Section 143 of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managements and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone Financial Statement 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 standalone 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.
⢠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 requirementsregarding 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, 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.

from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgment including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion:
(a) Gratuity and leave encashment is accounted on cash basis, which is
not as per AS-J5 Employee Benefits. The amount is not ascertained in
absence of actuarial valuation.

2013, if any, due to the above deviations is not ascertainable.
(b) No Provision for diminution in value of investment made in non
trade investments as required as per AS-13- Accounting for Investments,
amount Rs.3,53,000/- resulting into overstatement of the profit of Rs.
3,53,000/- for the current year and reserves and surplus by Rs.
3.53,000/-.

explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
