Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Disclaimer of
Opinion
I have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SHIVOM INVESTMENT & CONSULTANCY LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2026, the statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the statement of changes in equity and statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
I do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the entity. Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of my report, I have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
1. I draw attention to the fact that pursuant to the approved Resolution Plan under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 ("IBC"), substantial restructuring of the equity share capital of the Company, including cancellation/reissuance of existing shares, allotment of shares to unsecured financial creditors and fresh issue of shares to the Resolution Applicant, is under implementation and pending approvals/procedural formalities with Stock Exchange(s), NSDL/CDSL and other regulatory authorities. Accordingly, the consequential effects thereof have not yet been reflected in the demat holdings/shareholding pattern as at 31 March 2026.
2. I further draw attention to Note to the financial statements, which states
that pursuant to the approval of the Resolution Plan by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench-IV, vide its order dated 18 August 2025, the Company has ceased carrying on NBFC activities and has applied for surrender of its Certificate of Registration as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC).
3. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared/restated in accordance with the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and the requirements of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. However, based on the Companys listed status, Ind AS was applicable to the Company in earlier years as well. Accordingly, the financial statements of the previous periods were not prepared in compliance with the applicable Ind AS framework, and the impact, if any, arising from such non-compliance in prior periods has not been determined.
4. As informed to me, the process of handover and transition of management pursuant to implementation of the Resolution Plan has not completed yet and the current management does not presently have complete access to all historical books of account, records, agreements, supporting documents and other relevant information pertaining to certain assets and liabilities of the Company. Consequently, the management is in the process of carrying out detailed verification, reconciliation and fair valuation of assets and liabilities under applicable Ind AS provisions. The consequential accounting impact, adjustments and disclosures, if any, arising from such exercise have not yet been fully determined and incorporated in the accompanying financial results.
5. In view of the significance of the matters stated above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence including agreements with the parties to which the loans were given in the earlier years, valuation, classification and consequential financial effects of the aforesaid matters, I am unable to determine the adjustments, disclosures or possible effects that may be required in the accompanying financial results.
I conducted my audit of standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. My responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of my report. I am 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 my audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained are not sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
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 Directors Report including Annexures to the Directors Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and my auditors report thereon.
My opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the standalone financial statements, my 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 my knowledge obtained during the course of my audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I are required to report that fact. I 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 and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS 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 are operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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, 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.

Report on Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
I have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SHIVOM INVESTMENT & CONSULTANCY LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2026 in conjunction with my 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 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 are 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
My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on my audit. I conducted my 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 I 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.
My audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. My 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.
I believe that the audit evidence i have obtained are not 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
According to the information and explanation given to us and based on our audit, various material weaknesses as detailed in the earlier portion of our audit report have been identified as at March 31, 2026.
A material weakness is deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual financial statement will not be prevented or detected on timely basis.
In my opinion, due to the effects/possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objective of the control criteria, i am unable to opine whether the Company has maintained, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2026, 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.
I have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported in determining the nature, timing, and extend of the audit tests applied in our audit of year ended March 31, 2026 financial statements of the Company, and these material weaknesses does affect our opinion on the financial statements of the Company.
