We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Aadi Industries Limited (‘the Company’), whichcomprises the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, the statement of Profit and Loss (including OtherComprehensive Income), Statement of Changes in Equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended,and notes to financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and otherexplanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations give to us, except for theeffects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion’ section of our report, the aforesaid financialstatements 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 31st March, 2024 and its loss and its cash flows for the year endedon that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The company has discontinued the recognition of interest while calculating the amortized cost of theborrowings, which is in violation of Effective Interest Method (EIM) and Effective Interest Rate (EIR)principles and concepts underpinning the Amortised Cost measurement.
At the year-end company has measure the financial liability i.e. borrowings at Rs 4,608 based on the statementof accounts received from the bank. However, the payable to bank is subject to confirmation and adjustment,if any, required upon such confirmation. Pending such confirmation, the effect thereof on interest and penalinterest on the financial statement is not ascertainable.
Material uncertainty related to Going Concern
We draw attention to note 24 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred a lossafter tax of Rs. 9.18/- Lakhs and Rs. 17.69/- Lakhs for the year ended 31st March 2024 and 31st March 2023respectively. There has been significant decline in the key financial ratios on account of the persistent loss inpreceding previous years.
In the opinion of the Company, based on the reasons mention in note no 24 company expects to realise itsassets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and hence the financial statements havebeen prepared on a going concern basis.
The said assumption of going concern is inter-alia dependent on the Company’s ability to achieveimprovements in liquidity and turnaround in its business operations. Though a material uncertainty exists onthe Company’s going concern assumption, Company’s management is of the view that there are mitigatingfactors to such uncertainties including discussions with infusion of funds by promoters, orders on hand etc.
Our conclusion on the financial statement 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 auditof the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit ofthe financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separateopinion on these matters. Refer basis of opinion and emphasis of matter paragraph for key audit matter duringthe year under consideration.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements orour 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 otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5)of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions 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 andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true andfair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, 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 proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates 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 orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s a bility to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay 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 wereof most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should notbe communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
