Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under section 143(10) of the Companies
Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the
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 together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules there
under, 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
financial statements.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Boards Report including Annexure to Boards 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 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Companys 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 of these financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial
statements.
A. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 control 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 also
responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to
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 managements 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
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 financial
statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair
presentation.
B. 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.
C. 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.

"Annexure B" to the Independent Auditors Report of even date on the
Financial Statements of M/s Julien Agro Infratech
Limited.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls 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 M/s Julien
Agro Infratech Limited ("the Company") as
of March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company
for the year ended on that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
financial control 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 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 Companys internal financial
controls over financial reporting 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") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI
and deemed to be prescribed under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 judgment, 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
Companys internal financial controls 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 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
authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) 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 financial
statements.
Inherent 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, 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".
