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 Standalone 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules 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 the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting and Restriction on use

We draw attention to note 2(A)(i) to the standalone financial statements, which describes that the
Company has given effect to the Composite Scheme of Arrangement ("the approved Scheme") between
the Company, Algoquant Investments Private Limited (the holding company hereinafter referred to
as Amalgamating Company or AIPL) and Growth Securities Private Limited (hereinafter referred to
as Demerged Company or GSPL) and their shareholders and creditors for the amalgamation of AIPL
with the Company and amalgamation of Stock Broking Business of GSPL, referred to as "the Demerged
undertaking" per the Approved Scheme, into the Company on a going concern basis with effect from
the appointed date of 01-April-2023, as approved by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal
(Ahmedabad) (NCLT) vide its order dated 03-October-2024, in accordance with the accounting treatment
prescribed in the scheme which is in line with the accounting principles as laid down in Appendix C
to Ind AS 103, 'Business Combinations'. Accordingly, the comparative financial information for the
previous year presented in the accompanying standalone financial statement has been restated from
the beginning of the earliest period presented, being 01-April-2023.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended 31 -March-2025. 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. For each
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in
our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit
of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters.
Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our
audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Information technology (IT) systems used in
financial reporting process.

The company's operational and financial
processes are highly dependent on information
systems due to large volume of transactions that
are processed daily.

We therefore identified IT systems and controls
over financial reporting as a key audit matter for
the Company.

We performed the following procedures assisted

by specialized IT auditors on the IT infrastructure

and applications relevant to financial reporting:

• Tested the design and operating effectiveness
of IT access controls, including audit trail, over
the information systems that are relevant to
financial reporting and relevant interfaces,
configuration and other identified application
controls.

• Tested IT general controls (logical access,
change management and aspects of IT
operational controls). This included testing
that requests for access to systems were
appropriately reviewed and authorized.

• Tested the Company's periodic review of
access rights. We also inspected requests of
changes to systems for appropriate approval
and authorization.

• In addition to the above, we tested the
design and operating effectiveness of certain
automated and IT dependent manual controls
that were considered as key internal controls
over financial reporting.

• Tested the design and operating effectiveness
compensating controls in case deficiencies
were identified and, where necessary,
extended the scope of our substantive audit
procedures

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the other information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Company's annual report is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this Auditor's Report.

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 standalone 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 on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. Reporting under this section is not applicable as no other information is
obtained at the date of this auditor's report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial
Statements

The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of
the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive
income), 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) 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 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 standalone
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 intend to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting
process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 Standards on Auditing 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

As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act,
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 control;

• 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)(i) of the Act, we are also
responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial
controls system with Reference to Standalone 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 made by management;

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management 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 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone 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.

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.
