Non-impairment of Goodwill:

i) The aggregate carrying value of Goodwill created on account of
demerger of the Company in earlier years as on March 31,2025 is
Rs.62.23 Lakhs. The Company is unable to generate sufficient
income from its business and has incurred loss amounting to Rs.
74.74 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2025 and in previous
financial years. There is a strong indication of impairment in the value
of Goodwill and therefore we are of the opinion that the impairment
testing of Goodwill should be done by the Company. In the absence
of working for impairment, we are unable to quantify the amount of
impairment provision required as per IND-AS 36 (Impairment of
Assets) and its possible effects on the financial statements as on

STATUTORY AUDITORS AND AUDIT REPORT:

On the recommendation of Audit Committee and Board, the Company appointed M/s. P Parikh & Associates, Chartered
Accountants (FRN: 107564W) as Statutory Auditors of the Company for the first term of 5 Years from the conclusion of 10th
Annual General Meeting till the conclusion of the 15th Annual General Meeting of the Company to audit the books of accounts
of the Company from the F.Y. 2023-24 to F.Y. 2027-28.

Further, during the Financial Year under review, the Auditor had not reported any fraud under Section 143(12) of the Act,
therefore no detail is required to be disclosed under Section 134(3)(ca) of the Act.

Qualifications in Statutory Audit Report:

Following is the managements'' reply to the qualifications raised by the Statutory Auditors'' in their report for the Financial Year
ended March 31,2024:

1. The aggregate carrying value of Goodwill created on account of demerger of the Company in the earlier years as on
March 31, 2024 is Rs.141.11 Lakhs. The Company is unable to generate sufficient income from its business and has
incurred loss amounting to Rs.108.51 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2024 and also in previous financial years. There is
a strong indication of impairment in the value of Goodwill and therefore we are of the opinion that the impairment testing
of Goodwill should be done by the Company. In the absence of working for impairment, we are unable to quantify the
amount of impairment provision required as per IND-AS 36 (Impairment of Assets) and its possible effects on the financial
statements as on March 31,2024.

Managements'' reply:

The Management of the Company does not anticipate any impairment in the value of Goodwill as the Management
considers that the Goodwill can be commercially exploited in different ways to generate the revenue. Management
estimates that decline in revenue in recent past is temporary in nature which has potential to get regularized in near future.
The management is of the opinion that keeping in view their long term business synergy and potential no provision for
impairment in the value of goodwill is required to be made as on March 31,2024.

2. The Company has not provided for interest expenses amounting to approximately Rs. 77.45 Lakhs for the year ended
March 31,2024 on loans outstanding as on March 31,2024 which is not in line with the requirement of IND-AS 109. Further,
no provision for interest amounting to Rs. 48.28 Lakhs on such loans has been made in the books of accounts during the
period from October, 2022 to March, 2023. The expenses and current borrowings of the Company for the year ended
March 31,2024 are understated to that extent.

Managements'' reply:

The documents upon which the Company relies for the purpose of finalisation of accounts doesnt indicate charge of any
interest/ penal interest. Accordingly, no provision is made in the Profit and Loss account of the Company.

3. The Company has not accounted the lease transactions as per requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (IND AS-116)
which is applicable from April 1,2020. The impact, if any, of such non-compliance of IND-AS 116 on the financials of the
Company for the quarter and year ended March 31,2024 is unascertainable.

Managements'' reply:

The impact for adoption for IND-AS 116 in the Company''s financials statements is not material as the Company has not
entered into a long term lease agreement with any lessor. However, the management will assess its impact in next
financial year and account for the same, if required, as per IND-AS 116.
