Mar 31, 2025
We have audited the standalone financial statements of Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Limited (âthe Companyâ),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025, the statement of Profit and Loss, statement of Changes in Equity and the
statement of Cash Flows for the year ended, and notes to the 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 explanation given to us, the accompanying standalone financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 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, and its loss, position of
changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act,
2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 financial
statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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 opinion.
Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern
The financial statements are prepared on going concern basis notwithstanding the fact that the current liabilities are substantially
higher than the current assets and substantial losses incurred by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025, in previous
financial years and negative Total equity of Rs.1,143.58 Lakhs as on March 31, 2025. The appropriateness of assumption of going
concern is mainly dependent on the implementation of the Resolution plan which has been approved by Honâble NCLT, Mumbai
bench as per its order dated December 8, 2023. However, we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding
managementâs using principle of going concern in the preparation of financial results, as the outcome of the implementation of all
terms and conditions of the Resolution plan are unascertainable as on date.
Emphasis of Matters
i) The Resolution Plan submitted by M/s. SAB Events and Governance Now Media Limited, M/s. Marvel Media Private Limited, Mr.
Ravi Adhikari and Mr. Kailasnath Adhikari for the Company has been approved by the Honâble NCLT, Mumbai bench vide its order
dated December 8, 2023. The said approved Resolution Plan contains the details and timelines for settlements of various financial
creditors (secured creditors) and operational creditors, statutory dues and litigation claims of the Company. The Company has
given the financial impact of the said approved Resolution plan by reducing its various liabilities, writing off assets and issuance
of fresh equity share capital in the previous financial year.
However, the closing balances of bank liabilities after reduction of their dues are subject to confirmation from the banks as on
March 31,2025.
ii) The impact of pending direct and indirect tax assessments, if any, based on assessments orders / communications received by
the Company has not been accounted for the year ended March 31, 2025 but will be accounted in books of accounts only after
final order of demand / refund will be received from the relevant tax authorities / court.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Boardâs report and Management Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the Secretarial Audit report, Standalone financial
statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The Boardâs report and Management Discussion and Analysis is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance
or 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 standalone
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Boardâs report and Management Discussion and Analysis, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement
therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and make disclosures and take specific actions
as per applicable laws and regulations, if required.
Key Audit Matters
Except for the matters described in the Emphasis of Matters and Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern section, we have
determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with
respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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 Board
of Directors / 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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 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 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 Companyâs
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieve 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 financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding
Party (âUltimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and
(3) Based on audit procedures which we considered reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, nothing has come
to their notice that has caused them to believe that the representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) contain any material
misstatement.
v. The company has not declared or paid any dividend during the year in contravention of the provisions of section 123 of the
Companies Act, 2013.
vi. Based on our examination which included test checks, the Company has used accounting software for maintaining its
books of account, however the said software does not have a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility, therefore we
cannot comment whether the same has been operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the
software. Therefore, we also cannot comment whether the audit trail feature has been tampered with or whether it has been
preserved by the Company as per the statutory requirements for record retention.

âAnnexure Aâ forming part of Independent Auditorâs Report
Mar 31, 2024
We have audited the standalone financial statements of Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Limited (âthe Companyâ),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2024, the statement of Profit and Loss, statement of Changes in Equity and the statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 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 explanation given to us, except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion and Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern section of our report, the accompanying standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 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, and its loss, position of changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
i) Inter-Company Related Party balances with TV Vision Limited and SAB Events and Governance Now Media Limited as on March 31, 2024 is subject to confirmation / reconciliation. The impact, if any, due to non-reconciliation of Intercompany accounts on the financial statements of the Company as on March 31,2024 is unascertainable.
ii) Bank Balances to talling to Rs. 4.41 Lakhs are subject to confirmation / reconciliation due to non-receipt of bank statements / bank confirmation / external confirmations as on March 31, 2024, as represented to us by the management. The impact ,if any,on the financial statements as on March 31,2024 could not be ascertained.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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 opinion.
Emphasis of Matters
i) The Resolution Plan submitted by M/s. SAB Events and Governance Now Media Limited, M/s. Marvel Media Private Limited, Mr. Ravi Adhikari and Mr. Kailasnath Adhikari for the Company has been approved by the Hon''ble NCLT, Mumbai bench vide its order dated December 8, 2023. The said approved Resolution Plan contains the details and timelines for settlements of various financial creditors (secured creditors) and operational creditors, liabilities, statutory dues and litigation claims of the Company. During the current financial year 2023-2024, the Company has given the financial impact of the said approved Resolution plan by reducing all its liabilities / reduction of equity / preference share capital, writing off various assets, creating capital reduction reserve which is disclosed in Other Equity as per generally accepted accounting principles in India.
However, the closing balances of bank liabilities after reduction of their dues are subject to confirmation from the banks as on March 31, 2024. Further, the Company has given the impact for the reduction of shareholder''s equity capital / preference share capital and issuance of fresh share capital in its books of accounts in F.Y. 2023-2024, however the same is subject to approval of Registrar of Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
ii) The impact of pending direct and indirect tax assessments, if any, based on assessments orders / communications received by the Company has not been accounted for the year ended March 31,2024 but will be accounted in books of accounts only after final order of demand / refund will be received from the relevant tax authorities / court.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern
The financial statements are prepared on going concern basis notwithstanding the fact that the current liabilities are substantially higher than the current assets and substantial losses have been incurred by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024, in previous financial years and negative Other Equity of Rs.1,449.08 Lakhs as on March 31, 2024. The appropriateness of assumption of going concern is mainly dependent on the implementation of the Resolution plan which has been approved by Hon''ble NCLT, Mumbai bench as per its order dated December 8, 2023. As the outcome of the
implementation of all terms and conditions of the Resolution plan are unascertainable as on date, we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the management''s using principle of going concern in the preparation of financial statements.
The comparative financial information of the Company for the year ended March 31,2023 included in this Statement has been audited by the predecessor auditor''s. The report of the predecessor auditor''s on comparative financial information for the year ended March 31,2023 expressed an adverse opinion; and we have also considered the adverse comments reported by the previous auditor''s for the year ended March 31,2023 in our audit report for the year ended March 31,2024.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board''s report and Management Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the Secretarial Audit report, Standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Sri
Adhikari Brothers Television Network Ltd. ("the Company"), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of
Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and
a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 provisions of the Act and the Rules made
there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the 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 financial control relevant
to the Company''s preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. 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 Financial Statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Financial
Statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid 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, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at 31st March, 2015, and its profit/loss and its cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2015, issued by
the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of the
Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give in the Annexure a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order,
to the extent applicable.
As required by Section 143 (3) of the Act, we report that:
(a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations
which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purposes of our audit.
(b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of
those books.
