Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity
and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information which we have signed under reference to this

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 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2024, the profit, total 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 specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). 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 (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
made 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 audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the 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 matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in
our report.

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of 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, Business Responsibility 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.
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, total comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS 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
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
standalone 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 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 Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company''s 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
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 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 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 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 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of TARAI FOODS
LIMITED ("the Company) which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March
2014, the statement of profit and loss and the cash flow statement for
the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information which we have signed under reference
to this report.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The company's management is responsible for 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 Standards referred to in sub-section
(3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with
the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.
This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance
of internal control 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 conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing and other applicable authoritative
pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India. 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 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 the entity'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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion:
1. Clause 12 on Note 22 regarding damage to the cold store building.
2. Clause 9 on Note 22 regarding interest on Term Loan and working
capital default not provided for.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the 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:
(i) in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2014;
(ii) in the case of the statement of profit and loss, of the losses for
the year ended on that date; and
(iii) in the case of the cash flow statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to -
1. Clause 10 on Note 22 of the Financial Statement with regard to
continued losses and negative net worth. Considering continued losses,
and negative net worth of the company, the concept of going concern may
be in doubt, its ability to continue as going concern depends upon the
settlement of outstanding dues of secured/ unsecured creditors and
restructuring of operations by considering appropriate business
strategies and financial viabilities. In spite of these uncertainties,
accounts have been prepared on going concern basis and we are unable to
ascertain its impact on the financial statements of the company.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matter.
