Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Loss), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on
that date, and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “Standalone Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of

ended on that date;

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. We draw your attention to Note 8.1 wherein in earlier year, the Company has treated payment of Rs.18,500
thousand towards release of collateral securities, as ''Other Financial Assets'' which the company intends to adjust
after release of collateral securities by all the security holders. This being not in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Retained Earnings and Current Assets are higher as on 31st March, 2025 by Rs
18,500 thousand.

Our opinion is modified in respect of the above-mentioned matters.

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

India (“the ICAI”) 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 ICAI''s Code of Ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified
opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. 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.

We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report,

S.N.

Key Audit Matters

Auditor’s Response

1.

Related Party Transactions

The Company engages in trading transactions with
related parties.

The trading transaction with related parties carry
inherent risks due to the lack of arm''s length terms and
conditions typically found in transactions with third
party

We assessed the company''s related party relationships
and scrutinized the terms and conditions of trading
transactions with related party to determine whether
they are consistent with those that would have been
agreed upon between unrelated parties under similar
circumstances.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises of the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Draft Board''s Report including
Annexures to the said Board''s Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial
Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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 Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) 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 loss, changes in equity and cash flows 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 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 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 Company''s 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 Standards on Auditing (“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 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 financial controls 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 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 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
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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone
Financial Statements may be influenced.

We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone
Financial Statements.

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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.

We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provision of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company's preparation of the standalone financial statements that give true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Basis of Qualified Opinion

The Value of materials lying in the Bonded warehouse, auctioned by the Custom authorities being shown as 'Claims Receivable' amounting to Rs. 1,87,71,179/- which is doubtful of recovery (Refer Note 18.1)

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,

(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2015;

(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the Loss for the year ended on that date; and

(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the standalone financial statements:

a) Without qualifying the report we like to bring to your attention that the company's net worth has been completely eroded and it has been declared as a Sick Industrial Company by BIFR vide order dated 01.07.2002. As explained in Note 28, the management is of the view that the Company can be revived and made viable and accordingly the company's accounts have been prepared on Going Concern assumption. The revival of the Company's operations depends upon the Company being able to obtain the alternative main feed stock. In absence of any other information indicating to the contrary, we have accepted this view and accordingly the accounts have been prepared on the basis of "Going Concern Concept".

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
