I do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the entity. Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of my report, I have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section titled "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" of this report. I am independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the standalone financial results under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder. T have also fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. However, despite my professional efforts, I was unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, data, workings, and documentation necessary to provide a basis for expressing an opinion on the standalone annual financial statements. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on these financial statements.
• The company has unsecured loans amounting to 445.95 Lakhs. Management has not charged interest on these loans, and relevant agreements along with cross-confirmations are not available. In the absence of valid agreements and necessary confirmations, the accuracy of
the balances and their interest-free status could not be verified, potentially impacting the fair presentation of liabilities and interest expenses.
• Balance of GST Credit Payable €5.76 Lakhs pending for GST reconciliation. Reconciliation; with the GST Online Portal has not . been carried out, affecting the accuracy of GST Input Credit and the liability towards the government.
• The company has trade payables amounting to f 1123.31 Lakhs; however, the bifurcation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) creditors has not been provided. Non-disclosure of MSME classification contravenes the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006, impacting regulatory compliance and financial transparency.
• Advances to suppliers of ?938.76 Lakhs remain unconfirmed. Absence of confirmations from these suppliers affects the reliability of liabilities disclosed in the financial statements.

• With respect to purchases, the company has not provided Goods Inward Reports. Further, the company does not own or lease any godown facilities, raising concerns over the storage of inventory. Management claims that the goods are traded directly from suppliers to customers without being held in the company’s1 possession; however, in the absence of evidence, I am unable to verify’this assertion.
• Details of Related Party transactions mentioned in the financial statements
are not in tune with previous year and no information has been entered or provided for financial year 2024-25. >

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgment, were of most significance in my audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of my audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these .matters. I have determined depending upon the facts and circumstances of the entity and the audit, that there are no key audit matters to communicate in the Auditor’s Report except stated’.above under Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion. . , . : .

My opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the standalone financial statements, my 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 my knowledge obtained during the course of my audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact. I 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 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, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with Ind AS and other 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 statement 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 Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
My objective is to obtain reasonable assurance1 about whether the standalone annual financial results as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my 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 annual financial results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, I exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit; I also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone annual financial results, 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 my 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, I am also responsible for expressing my opinion through a separate report on the complete set. of financial statements on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 in the standalone annual financial results made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- Conclude om the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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 appropriateness of this assumption. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone annual financial results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my: 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 standalone annual financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone annual financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Statement to express an opinion on the Statement.1 Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Statement that, individually or in aggregate, make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Statement may be influenced. I consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in
i) planning the scope of my audit work and in evaluating the results of my work; and
ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Statement
I 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 I identify during my audit.
I also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I 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 my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
I also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD 1/44/2019 dated 29th:March, 2019 issued by the SEBI. I under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.
