The Members of PRASHANT INDIA LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Prashant India Limited ("the Company"), which comprises of the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and subject to our notes in Qualified Report, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") specified under section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024 and its profit/loss, total comprehensive income, the changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

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 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.

Qualified Report

• Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note No. 1(b) on Going Concern, which states that the Company has incurred net loss of Rs. 35.84 lakhs (loss after tax) during the year ending 31st March, 2024 and as of that date, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its total current assets by Rs. 3457.73 lakhs resulting into erosion of the Net Worth of the Company. Further, the operations of Agro division of the company have stood suspended since the year 1998 and has sold all plant and machineries as scrap during FY 2018-19 and is in the process of selling land and building of the said Division. The operations of Textile Division of the Company had to be closed after July 2023, due to unavailability of job work and unaffordable pricing issues and since the Textile Division of the Company is non- operational, there is no captive consumption of wind power generation by Wind Farm Division, resulting into sale of power to DGVCL at predefined rate, which is significantly lower than the billing rate. Besides, Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) has informed the Company that as per Gujarat Renewable Energy Policy 2023, announced by Energy & Petrochemical Department, Govt of Gujarat, all wind turbines of more than 25 years old have to be repowered. The Companys Wind turbines are already more than 25 years old Moreover, contract with the Company has been terminated by Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited as per Letter Dt06.07.2023, and operations of Wind Turbines have been discontinued by it with effect from 01.04.2024.A11 these indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as "Going Concern".

Our opinion is modified in respect of aforesaid Matter.

• Non provision of liabilities -

We draw attention to Note No 20(b) on Provisions and Contingent Liabilities. In this regulatory environment, there is an inherent risk of litigations and claims. Consequently, provisions and contingent liabilities disclosures may arise from direct and indirect tax proceedings, legal proceedings, including regulatory and other government / department proceedings, as well as investigations by authorities. As at March 31, 2024, the Company has not provided for liabilities of Rs 11288.39 lakhs. Management applies significant judgement in estimating the likelihood of the future outcome in each case when to consider- whether, and how much, to provide or in determining the required disclosure for the potential exposure of each matter. This is due to the highly complex nature and magnitude of the legal matters involved along with the fact that resolution of tax and legal proceedings may span over multiple years, and may involve protracted negotiation or litigation. These estimates could change substantially over time as new facts emerge and each legal case progresses. In Our Audit approach, we found that recording of the outstanding litigations against the Company for consistency with the previous years, enquire and obtain explanations for movement during the year, need development for those matters, where management concluded that no provisions should be recognized, considering the adequacy and completeness of the companys disclosures.

Our opinion is modified in respect of aforesaid Matter.

Emphasis of Matter

• We draw attention to Note No 1(a) on Employee Benefit Expenses (including transactions related to provident fund, ES1C, profession tax, gratuity, leave encashment, bonus liability) for the year ended on 31st March 2024. We perceived that the system of recording such expenses needs advancement to ensure terminality, transaction trail and related documentary evidences. Accordingly, we are impuissant to assess and quantify effect of aforesaid transactions on the financial statements. However, according to management estimates, such expenses/transactions are fairly stated in the financial statement and there are no material deficiencies/ non provisions.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matter.

• We draw attention to Note No 20(c) on Confirmations/ Reconciliation of trade receivables, trade and other payables (including micro and small enterprises and including capital creditors) and loans and advances that are pending. The management is confident that on confirmation/ reconciliation, there will not be any material impact on the financial statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matter.

• As proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 is applicable from April 1, 2023, reporting under Rule 11(g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 on preservation of audit trail as per the statutory requirements for record retention is applicable for the financial year ended March 31, 2024.

Based on our examination which included test checks, the company has moved to Tally Prime Edit log accounting software in its standard form ready to use available in the market, for maintaining its books of accounts, which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility with its inherent limitations and the same was enabled and operated for all relevant transactions recorded in the software with effect from 2^nd May, 2023. During the course of performing our procedures where the audit trail facility was available for part of the year, we did not notice any instance of the audit trail feature being tempered with.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our reports:

The key audit matters	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Evaluation of uncertain tax positions
The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions and divisions and is subject to periodic challenges by local tax authorities on a range of tax matters during the normal course of business including direct and indirect tax matters. This involves significant management judgment to determine the possible outcome of the uncertain tax positions, consequently having an impact on related accounting and disclosure in the financial statements.	Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures: • Obtained details of completed tax assessments and demands for the year ended March 31, 2024 from the management to understand managements underlying assumptions in estimating the tax provision and the possible outcome of the disputes. • Discussed with appropriate senior management and evaluated managements underlying key assumptions in estimating the tax provisions. • Legal precedence and other rulings in evaluating managements position on these uncertain tax positions were also considered. • Read and analyzed select key correspondences, external legal opinions/consultations by managements for key uncertain tax positions.
Allowance for doubtful debts/ Provision for Expected Credit Loss
Allowance for doubtful debts was identified as key audit matter since- • Receivables comprise a significant portion of the liquid assets of the Company. • There is an inherent risk around the accuracy of companys trade receivables being fairly valued and adequately provided against where doubt exists. • There is a risk of debtors being misstated and disclosures related to the same in the financial statements. • Accordingly, the estimation of the allowance for trade receivables is a significant judgement area and is therefore considered a key audit matter.	Our audit work included but was not restricted to the following procedures: • The assessment of the appropriateness of the allowance for trade receivables comprised a variety of audit procedures including: Verifying the appropriateness and reasonableness of the assumptions applied in the managements assessment of the receivables allowance. To address the risk of management bias, we evaluated the results of our procedures against audit procedures on other key balances to assess whether or not there was an indication of bias.

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 of the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders information, 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 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, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other observation, 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 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 financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company, in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2016 as amended from time to time and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records, with tracking of changes, 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.

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 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 system 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.

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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors 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.
