We have audited the financial statements of Bridge Securities Limited ("the Company"), which comprises
the Balance sheet as at 31st March 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (Including Other
Comprehensive Income), Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of changes in equity for the year then
ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information for the year ended on that date (hereinafter referred to as "Ind AS financial

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid Ind AS 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its loss
(including other comprehensive income) and its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on
that date.
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 Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 made 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 on
financial Statements.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the financial statements, which indicates that
the Company incurred a net profit of INR 127.43 lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2025 (Previous
Year profit of INR 51.65 lakhs), and, as of that date, the Company's total assets exceeded its total
liabilities by INR 294.64 lakhs. These events or conditions indicate that no uncertainty exists which may
cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As per the information
and explanation given to us, the Promoters will provide whenever required financial support to the
Company and accordingly financials have been prepared on the going concern assumptions.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's
Report and Shareholder's Information but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's
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
identified above 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.
Responsibility of the Management for the Ind AS financial statements
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 Ind AS financial statements that gives 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 (Ind
AS) prescribed 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 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 Ind AS financial statements
that gives a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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
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 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 controls 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 control 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 ability of the Company 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the 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.
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.
