income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
Emphasis of Matters
1. We draw attention to Note No 46 of the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of valuation of Inventories of
Unquoted Shares which are valued at cost and are subject to the valuation by independent valuer. As per management
explanation they are under process to carrying out fair valuation from registered valuer and the cost is almost lower of
cost and market price whichever is lower, hence these are shown at its original purchase cost. In the present we are
unable to comment consequences of such transactions.
2. We draw attention to Note No 47 of the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of Balances of Trade Receivable,
Loans and Advances, Trade Payable etc. which are subject to confirmation from the respective parties and consequently
reconciliation/ adjustment arising therefrom, if any to ascertain the fair market value.
3. We draw attention to Note No 27 of the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of Employees Retirement Benefit
that no actuarial valuation report from the professional valuer was obtained on account of liability of employment
benefit in the near future, if any, as the management has observed that there is no such liability at present.
4. We draw attention to Note No 48 of the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of non-traded / suspended stock
which are valued at last traded price and the management is in opinion that the value as shown is fair value and has no
impact on Statement of Profit & Loss.
5. We draw attention to Note No 49 of the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of Closing stock worth Rs 213.37
Lakh of Audio Video Rights / CD and there is no valuation report on its fair value but in the opinion of management the
value as shown is fair and there is no impact on statement of profit and loss.
6. We draw attention to Note No 50 of the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of interest free Loans and Advances
of Rs 1,734.00 Lakh out of total loan & advance of Rs. 2,692.11 Lakh which as per management is at fair value and for
business purpose and not prejudicial to the interest of the company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters:
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.
Based on the circumstances and facts of the audit and entity, there are not any key audit matters to be communicated in our
report.
Information Other than the Standalone 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 Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to
Board's 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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 the
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 Ind
AS 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 Ind AS 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.
Key Audit Matters
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. Based on the
circumstances and facts of the audit and entity, there aren't key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 standalone 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 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 controls.
• 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)0) 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 standalone 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 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.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company to express an
opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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 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 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.
