comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including Other Comprehensive Income,
Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the
âstandalone financial statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial

fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian

of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements 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 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 (âICAIâ) 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 obtained by us, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed,

to report in this regard.

the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the

alternative but to do so.

Company''s financial reporting process.

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 misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Paired Technologies Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss, including Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information 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 financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Act'') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (âInd ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and profit/loss, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements 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 Standalone Financial Statements'' section of our report.

Impairment on Investments in Equity Shares of Subsidiaries: (Refer to the disclosures related to Investments in Note 5 of the standalone financial statements.) Investments in equity shares of subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment in accordance with Ind AS 27, Separate Financial Statements. The company had made investment in three subsidiaries, out of which investment in two of the subsidiaries, Palred Retail Private Limited and Palred Technology Services Private Limited. The management has fully impaired the carrying value of investment in these two subsidiaries in earlier years. Further, investment in one of the third subsidiary (Palred Electronics Private Limited) amounts to Rs. 4,453.00 lakhs and has a carrying value of Rs. 1,300.65 lakhs as on March 31,2024. Based on the net worth and turnover of the Palred Electronics Pvt Ltd, management has during the current year provided the impairment amount of Rs 200.65 lakhs. At the year end, management of the company has performed the testing of impairment in relation to such investment as per the requirements of Ind AS 36 âImpairment of Assetsâ by obtaining valuation report from an independent registered valuer. The Company assesses the recoverable amount of the investment when impairment indicators exist, by comparing the fair value (less costs of disposal) and carrying amount of the investment as on the reporting date. The process for measuring and recognizing impairment loss is complex and requires management judgement. The key assumptions underlying management''s assessment of valuation include, but are not limited to, estimation of recoverable amounts of the recognized assets and liabilities, revenue projections and market valuation of the company. Considering the materiality, complexity, significance of the management judgement involved and the estimation uncertainty in assessing impairment on these investments, this has been considered to be a key audit matter. |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included: 1. Assessed whether the Company''s accounting policies relating to the impairment of equity investments in subsidiaries are in compliance with IND AS 36 - Impairment of Assets. 2. Obtained an understanding and assessed management''s process and controls w.r.t impairment assessment. 3. Evaluated and tested the design and the operating effectiveness of the controls over the impairment assessment. 4. Obtained the Valuation report of Palred Electronics Private Limited as at March 31, 2024. 5. Evaluated the competence and objectivity of the valuation specialist engaged by the management. 6. Involved the Internal experts with specialised skills and knowledge to assist in evaluating the valuation model used and the underlying assumptions including the computations performed to arrive at the fair valuation. 7 Verified the Company''s valuation methodology, assumptions and arithmetical accuracy for determining the fair value of the investment as obtained from the management assessment. 8. Verified arithmetical accuracy of the computation by comparing the pro-rata share of net assets of each of the subsidiaries to the investment held by the Company to consider reversal of impairment. 9. Evaluated the reasonableness of the future revenue and margins, the historical accuracy of the Company''s estimates and its ability to produce accurate long-term forecasts. 10. Evaluated the appropriateness of the disclosures made in the financial statement in relation to such investments and impairment thereon as required by applicable accounting standards. |

1. In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of Paired Technologies Limited (âthe Companyâ) as on and for the year ended 31 March 2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (IFCoFR) of the Company as of that date.
Managementâs Responsibiiity for Internai Financiai Controis
2. The Companyâs Board of Directors 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 (âthe Guidance Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ). 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 the Companyâs business, including adherence to Companyâs 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 Act.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. 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 IFCoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR included obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs IFCoFR.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. A company''s IFCoFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s IFCoFR 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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
7. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, 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 IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, 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 issued by the ICAI.

of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and
a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.

financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of
the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General circular

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

4. 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Company''s internal control. 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
