Ajel Ltd Share Price Auditors Report

Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended on 31 March 2025

To

Members of AJEL Limited,

Disclaimer of Opinion

We were engaged to audit the accompanying Financial Statements of Ajel Limited (the Company), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss, Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended on that date, notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as Financial Statements).

We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Company. In view of the significance of the matters described in the Basis of Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

The company during year 2023-24 has availed a loan amounting to Rs.5 crore (Rs.1 crore being for working capital under MSME categorization and Rs.4 crore being loan repayable on demand from Bank of Maharashtra, wherein, the said loan facility, during the year 2024-25, owing to non- repayment of interest and principal the loan account has been declared as a Non-performing Asset (NPA) on 08 th October 2024.

We were not provided with requisite details, as to confirm the balance of Trade payables and loans & advances (Receivables) of the Company standing as on 31 March 2025. In absence of such information, we were not able to comment upon the reasonableness of Trade Payables and Receivables balances as at that date and its possible impact, if any, on the financial statements.

The Company has financed Rs. 85,96,143 disclosed under the head "Other Long Term Loans & Advances" in the financial statements, which are yet to be recovered. In the absence of managements information regarding the status of recovery and the possible recover ableness, we are unable to opine on the same and its impact on the overall financial stability of the Company.

During the year, the company held investments in listed equity shares worth INR 105.01 Lakhs (Measured at fair value) in respect of which, we were unable to verify the physical share certificates nor shares in de-materialized form for majority of the shares held as investments.

Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2.36 to the financial statements which states that the company during the year 2023-24 has been sanctioned with a loan amounting to Rs.5 crore (Rs.1 crore being for working capital under MSME categorization and Rs.4 crore being loan repayable on demand) where during the year 2024-25, the company has failed to repay the loan installments due to which the loan account has been declared as Non-performing Asset (NPA) as on 08 th October, 2024.

Though these conditions cast significant doubt about the companys ability to continue as going concern, the management of the company is in the process of sustaining and improving the business activity of the Company with a bonafide intent to clear out the said liability. In view of the above, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared on going concern basis.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon

The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board of Directors Report including Annexures to Board of Directors Report, Shareholders Information and any other management report but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditors report thereon.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance or 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

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. In the said context, we have no material observations to report for the Company.

Managements and Those Charged with Governance Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Companys Management, Board of Directors and those charged with governance are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of 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 including the other comprehensive Income, cash flows and changes in the equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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, if any; 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, whether operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of these 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, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Companys 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 is also responsible for overseeing financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditors 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 auditors 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 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 control.

Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the companies act 2013, we are responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has in place an adequate internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements 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 the Board of Directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 auditors 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.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the standalone financial statements 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 standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and the 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 standalone 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.

Emphasis of Matter Paragraph

The Standalone Financial Statements majorly consist of the revenue and other financial items that have been booked at the AJEL Limited branch office (Branch) in United States of America (USA). The financial statements of the said Branch have, however, not been independently audited by Certified Public Accountant in the USA. Further, we have not conducted any audit procedures on the said financial statements and have solely relied on the said unaudited numbers as provided by the management of the company pertaining to the Branch in the audit of the Standalone financial statements of the Company.

Amounts directly attributable to project expenses during the financial year ended 31.03.2024 have been considered as an Intangible Asset under development owing to the Memorandum of Understanding entered into between the Company and Transcord Telscape Private Limited dated 15.10.2022.

The Company has availed a Cash Credit facility amounting to INR 5,00,00,000 (Five Crore Rupees only) from Bank of Maharashtra, Hyderabad for the purpose of servicing the expenses pertaining to the ongoing project activities out of which INR 3,00,00,000 (Three Crore Rupees only) has been advanced to Transcord Telscape Private Limited towards advance for services.

We have verified the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on 31 March, 2025, which has been derived from the annual books of accounts after making such adjustments/groupings as were considered appropriate.

During the year it was observed that the Property plant and equipment of the company consisting of Land being purchased in year 2010-11 was depreciated erroneously till the previous year i.e., financial year 2023-24. Subsequently, the error was rectified during the year by presenting third balance sheet in accordance with the Indian Accounting standards and the financial statements have been re-stated to the said effect.

The company has statutory payable amounting to INR 85.36 lakhs standing payable prior to current year. In absence of management confirmation regarding its payment status we are unable to comment upon the current status of the same.

During the year ended 31 March 2025, the Management undertook a detailed review of its accounting policies and observed that Land has been depreciated in previous financial statements due to oversight. As a consequence, the Land has been incorrectly measured at the depreciated carrying value instead of the original historical cost. Due to this error, the Land as at 1 April 2023 was understated by INR 36.37 lakhs, whereas Deferred tax was overstated by INR 55.82 lakhs and retained earnings (Considering the impact of deferred tax) as at 1 April 2023 was understated by INR 92.19 lakhs. The error also impacted the profit for the year ended 31 March 2024 which was

understated by INR 4.77 lakhs (Being net effect on profit due depreciation and deferred tax) and due to error (understated) in closing value of investments, the profit for the said period was understated by INR 0.53 lakhs. The Land as at 31 March 2024 was understated by INR 42.71 lakhs whereas Deferred tax was overstated by INR 54.24 lakhs,

investment is understed by INR 0.53 lakhs and retained earnings (Considering the impact of deferred tax) as at 31 March 2024 were understated by INR 97.48 lakhs each.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditors Report

(Annexure referred to in Clause 2(f) of the Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements section of our report to the members of Ajel Limited on the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls over financial reporting under clause (i) of the Sub-section 3 of the Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Adverse Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting Ajel Limited (the Company) as of 31 March 2025 in conjunction with our audit of Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, because of the possible effects of the material weaknesses described below in the Basis for Adverse Opinion paragraph on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were not operating effectively as of March 31, 2025, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of March 31, 2025, financial statements of the Company, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the financial statements of the Company and we have issued a disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements.

Basis for Adverse Opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness have been identified as at 31 March 2025:

As explained in the "Basis for Disclaimer of opinion" section of our audit report, we were not provided with requisite details so as to confirm the balance of Trade payables/ Trade Receivables standing as on 31 st March 2025.

The Company has financed Rs. 85,96,143 disclosed under the head "Other Long Term Loans & Advances" in the financial statements, which are yet to be recovered. In the absence of managements information regarding the status of recovery and the possible recover ableness, we are unable to opine on the same and its impact on the overall financial stability of the Company.

During the year, the company held investments in listed equity shares worth INR 105.01 Lakhs (Measured at fair value) in respect of which, we were unable to verify the physical share certificates nor shares in de-materialized form for majority of the shares held as investments.

Accordingly, the Company does not have an appropriate internal controls system relating to reasonableness of Trade Payables/Trade Receivables balance as at that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

Management and Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (Guidance Note) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls whether operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act).

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our Audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing deed prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an Audit of Internal Financial Controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both issued by the ICAI. These standards and guidance note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and performed the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over

financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our Audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the Auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion and the Companys internal financial control system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A Companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes these policies and procedures that

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detailed, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitation of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitation of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, Projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
