view in conformity with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies

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.

determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.

IPO and Listing on NSE SME Platform

During the year, the Company successfully completed
its Initial Public Offering (IPO) and was listed on the NSE
SME Platform. The process involved compliance with
various regulatory requirements and significant financial
transactions. Following are the key complexities identified
in relation to the IPO:

» Fresh equity issuance during the year, resulting in
changes to share capital and securities premium.

» Determination and accounting of IPO expenses, with
correct allocation between the Profit & Loss account
and Securities Premium account in accordance with
Section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013.

» Verification that IPO proceeds were utilized strictly for
the stated "Objects of the Issue" as per the Prospectus.

» Compliance with SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, NSE SME
Listing Requirements, and the Companies Act, 2013.

» Ensuring correct presentation of share capital,
securities premium, and related disclosures in the
financial statements in line with applicable accounting
standards and listing norms.

With respect to IPO and Listing, we have undertaken audit

procedures, which include the following:

» Examined Board resolutions, allotment registers, and
ROC filings to confirm proper recording of increased
paid-up share capital.

» Checked bank statements, traced IPO proceeds from
receipt to utilization, and reconciled with utilization
schedules provided by management.

» Verified supporting documents for issue expenses and
tested allocation between P&L and Securities Premium
account for compliance with Section 52.

» Reviewed Compliance with applicable SEBI (ICDR)
Regulations, NSE SME Listing Requirements, and the
Companies Act, 2013.

» Verified the presentation and disclosures of share
capital, securities premium, and related information in
the financial statements by checking them against the
requirements of Schedule III to the Companies Act,
2013, applicable Accounting Standards, SEBI (ICDR)
Regulations, and NSE SME listing norms.

Key Audit Matter

How The Key Audit Matter Was Addressed In Our Audit

1

Revenue recognition

The Company earns revenue from two major streams:

» Charter hire charges for deployment of vessels under
time or voyage charters.

» Ship management fees for technical and crew
management services provided to clients.

» Revenue recognition is governed by AS 9 - Revenue
Recognition, which requires revenue to be recognized
when services are rendered.

Key complexities involved include:

» Determining the timing of revenue recognition,
especially where services span multiple reporting
periods.

» Adjustments for off-hire periods, penalties, or delays in
charter operations.

» Fixed monthly management fees for technical and crew
management.

» Determination of whether the company is acting as a
principal or agent affects whether such reimbursements
are recorded as gross or net revenue.

Due to the abovementioned complexities, this item has

been considered as Key Audit Matter.

With respect to Revenue Recognition, we have undertaken

audit procedures, which include the following:

» We verified the Company's revenue recognition policy
and assessed its compliance with Accounting Standard
(AS) 9 - Revenue Recognition.

» We have Reviewed key agreements for charter hire
and ship management to understand terms, revenue
triggers, and billing cycles.

» We have verified that charter hire revenue was
recognized based on daily rates as per the charter party
agreement, adjusted for off-hire days or penalties, if any.

» We verified the classification of cost recoveries (such
as port charges, crew costs, or spare parts) to assess
whether they were correctly recorded as gross or net
revenue, based on the principal-agent relationship.


Other Information

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Board's report, including Annexure to Board's
Report, but doesn't 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 financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in 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.

Responsibility of Management for Standalone Financial
Statements

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 to the preparation of these standalone
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. 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 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility 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 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 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 management's use of
the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether 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 auditors' 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 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 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 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 Financial Statements of the
current year 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.
