Independent Auditors Report on the Audit of Standalone Financial Results of Alexander Stamps and Coins Limited for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025, pursuant to Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63(2) of the SEBl (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

To,

The Board of Directors,

Alexander Stamps and Coins Limited

Qualified Opinion:

We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Alexander Stamps and Coins Limited ("the Company"), which comprises of the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the statement:

(i) except for the effects/possible effects of the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph below, gives true and fair view in conformity with the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of total comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and year ended 31st March 2025.

Basis for Qualified Opinion:

a) We draw attention to the Note No 30 to the Financial Statements, with respect to the Investments as stated in Non-Current Investments amounting to INR 113.67/- Lacs, the requisite documents with respect to this investment are not available with the Company, in the absence of sufficient information, the Management has also not provided for any Impairment for the same and in turn we are unable to comment on the carrying value of Investment made by the Company and the consequent impact thereof on Other Comprehensive Income.

b) We draw attention to the Note No 27 to the Financial Statements, in respect of the Outstanding Income Tax demand for the Assessment Year 2017-2018, amounting to INR 357.63 Lakhs, for which the Company has neither filed any appeal nor created any provision in the books of accounts. Had the company has provided the same loss would have been higher by INR 357.63 Lakhs.

c) We draw attention to the Note No 29 to the Financial Statements, the inventories as on 31.03.2025 amounting to Rs. 1643.84/- Lakh valued as per Valuation report dated 8th May 2023, stating valuation mentioned in this report as on the date of 31st March 2023. Consequently, we had relied upon the valuation of the inventories as on 31st March 2025 on this valuation report and hence we are unable to ascertain the impact due to deviation in inventory valuation as per Ind AS 2 Inventories.

Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern:

We draw attention to the Note No. 28 to the Financial Statements in respect of the Nonmoving inventories amounting to INR 1492.81 Lakh, which comprises of the 92% of the total assets of the company. Nonmoving inventories along with other matters set forth in the "Basis of Qualified Opinion" section above indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. However, in view of mitigating factors including business plan, the management is of the view that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matters.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon:

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 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 in the 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibility of Management for Standalone Financial Statements:

The Companys 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (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 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.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Alexander Stamps and Coins Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls:

The Board of Directors of the Company is 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective 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.

Auditors Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company.

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 those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting:

Because of the inherent limitations 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.

Opinion:

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
