We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of Siddha
Ventures Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31 2024,
the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Cash Flow
Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the
Ind AS 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, its profit (including other comprehensive
income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs), as 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 Ind AS 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,
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 Ind AS financial
statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year
ended March 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
standalone Ind AS 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 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 standalone the 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.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit |
|
Valuation and Existence of Inventories We have focused on the valuation and existence |
We have assessed the Company''s process |
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements
and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 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.
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 Ind AS 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 the 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial
reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS
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
Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 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 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
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 Ind AS financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or
in aggregate, makes it probable that economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user
of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and
qualitative factors in (i) 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 financial
statements.
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 Ind AS 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.

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Siddha Ventures Limited,
as at March 31, 2012 and also the Profit and loss Account and the Cash
Flow Statement for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of the material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial Statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
2. These accounts have been prepared on the basis of going concern
assumption and consequently, assets and liabilities have been stated in
these accounts at historical cost. However, having regard to the facts
that:
a) The broking operation as a member of OTCEI has never started refer
note 25 of Notes on Accounts.
b) Negative net-worth of the Company.
c) The Company has not declared any dividend since the year 1995-96.
There is, in our opinion significant uncertainty that the Company will
be able to continue as a going concern. The difference, if any,
between the historical values at which assets and liabilities have been
stated and the values that they are likely to realize if the Company
ceases to be a going concern has not been ascertained, and therefore,
could not be commented upon by us.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 as
amended, issued by the Central Government in terms of sub-section (4A)
of the Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 we enclose in the
Annexure a Statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of
the said Order.
4. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we

physical script of unquoted shares held in inventories, which to the

directors as on 31st March 2012, and taken on records by the Board of
