STARLOG ENTERPRISES LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Starlog Enterprises Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 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 Actâ) 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 31,2025 and profit, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statementsâ 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 opinion
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements:
1. The Company has shown investments of Rs. 12.01 Crore in South West Port Limited (âSWPLâ) which is equivalent to 26% of equity capital of the SWPL. As against this, the financial statements of the SWPL show the shareholding of the Company as 10% of its equity capital only. The differential 16% has been being transferred by SWPL in its financial statements from the name of the Company to certain entities who are having credit balances with the Company towards advance given for purchase of shares of SWPL. However, the Company has continued to show investment at original cost and original number of shares in its standalone financial statements on the ground that it has not been provided with necessary approvals by SWPL to justify the change in shareholding.
2. We draw attention to the fact, a lender of a subsidiary has invoked a Shortfall Undertaking of Rs. 6627.20 lakhs. The matter was adjudicated by DRT, Mumbai, passing a recovery order against the Company. Recovery Certificate issued by the Recovery Officer was set aside in appeal by the Presiding Officer. The matter is sub-judice.
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 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.

The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the 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 Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these 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 Indian Accounting Standards 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 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, 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 Board of Directors 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.
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 scepticism 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 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 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 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 financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the 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 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 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.

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) financial statements of STARLOG ENTERPRISES LIMITED (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flow and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âStandalone Financial Statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effect/ possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âActâ) 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 2024, its Loss including Other Comprehensive Income, its Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. In relation to Going Concern assumption we refer to Note 40 of the Statement where it is mentioned that the Company''s current liabilities are in excess of its current assets by Rs. 4171.36 lakhs which is largely on account of current maturities of its long-term debts. Further, as mentioned in Note 33 of the Statement, the Company has contingent liabilities regarding Export/EPCG Obligations, demands from MVAT department and invocation of a Shortfall Undertaking by a lender to a subsidiary having amount of Rs. 6627.20 lakhs. Further, majority of the cranes have been idle with values deteriorating due to corrosion and being stationed unused. Such situations indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, however, the Company has prepared its standalone financial statements as a going concern. The impact of the same on the standalone financial statements of the Company is unascertainable.
2. The Company has not conducted an impairment study under Ind AS 36. As mentioned in Note 42, the Company has continued to carry its PPE at book value. The impact of the same on the standalone financial statements of the Company is unascertainable.
3. As mentioned in the Note 41 of the Statement in respect of Trade Receivables, Trade Payables, Loans & Advances (Assets) and Advances (Liabilities); these are subject to confirmation/ reconciliation from respective parties.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the âActâ). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the âAuditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsâ 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 qualified opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements:
1. The Company has shown investments of Rs. 1201.20 lakhs in an associate which is equivalent to 26% of equity capital of the associate. As against this, the financial statements of the associate show the shareholding of the Company as 10% of its equity capital only. The differential 16% have been claimed by the associate as being transferred in its financial statements from the name of the Company to certain entities who are having credit balances with the Company towards advance given for purchase of shares of the associate. However, the Company has continued to show investment at original cost and original number of shares in its standalone financial statements on the ground that it has not been provided with necessary approvals by the associate to justify the change in shareholding.
2. As mentioned in Note 33, a lender of a subsidiary has invoked a Shortfall Undertaking of Rs. 6627.20 lakhs. The matter was adjudicated by DRT, Mumbai, passing a recovery order against the Company. Recovery Certificate issued by the Recovery Officer was set aside in appeal by the Presiding Officer. The matter is sub-judice.
3. We draw attention to the fact that the confirmation of two term deposits statement could not be obtained by the Company. The Management stated that despite efforts made with the bank same could not be obtained. In absence of balance confirmation, any material effect due to such non-reconciliation is currently not ascertainable.
4. We draw attention to the fact that company is in process of identification of status of its suppliers under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. In absence of such information, any material effects are currently not ascertainable.
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
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.

Because of the matter described in Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph below, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(b) 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(c) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Basis for disclaimer of opinion

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 Financial Statement
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect

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.

specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The

assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant

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 control system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the

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 standalone
financial statements.

explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
