Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of TARINI INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of profit and loss, cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the financial statements ).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effect of matter described in basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the company as at March 31, 2023 and the Profit / Loss, and its cash flow for the year ended on that date.

Basis for qualified opinion

We draw attention to note 28 to Standalone Financial Statement regarding the investment amounting Rs.121.59 Lakhs in the subsidiaries, which has suffered recurring losses and has a net capital deficiency. The financial statements of that subsidiary have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The standalone financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts that might result that the subsidiary be unable to continue as a going concern. Had the provision been made in the books of account, the profit before tax for the year would have been converted into loss amounting to Rs. 107.82 Lakhs.

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made 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 propriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statements. oS $ Asson )

Emphasis of Matters

1. We draw attention to the note 32 of the standalone financial statements, in respect of trade receivables and trade payables external confirmations of the balances were not obtained by the Company. Due to non-availability of confirmation of balances, we are unable to quantify the impact upon the profit for the year, if any, arising from the confirmation of balances.

2. We draw attention to the note 26 of the standalone financial statements regarding the provisional attachment of the farm house of the company by The Enforcement Directorate under The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 against which the company has obtained the stay from the High Court of Delhi.

3. We draw attention to the note 27 of the standalone financial statements regarding the advance made of Rs. 59.16 Lakhs (equivalent Euro 80,000/-) as share application money during the year 2015-16, towards acquisition of 51% shares of HPWE GmbH. Against such payment, share has not been allotted as the company could not make full payment.

4. We draw attention to note 29 of the standalone financial statements wherein The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has dismissed the appeal of the Company against the order date March 29, 2019 passed under section 11 and 11B of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 by the Whole Time Member (WTM) of the SEBI and the order dated February 10, 2020 passed under section 15-1 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 by the Adjudicating Officer imposing penalty of Rs. 505 Lakhs. However, the Company has filed, a statutory appeal against such order before the Honble Supreme Court of India. The outcome of such appeal is pending.

Our Opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

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 that there are no significant matters except for the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion section and the Emphasis of matter section, that are required to be disclosed here.

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors Report including its Annexures, 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 Standalone Financial Statements

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone 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 Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant Rules issued thereunder.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qur 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, 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 wnderstanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control. 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.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Tarini International Limited (“the Company ) as of March 31, 2023 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 Centrols

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 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 with reference to these standalone financial statements 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, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, 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 with reference to these standalone financial statements 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 with reference to these standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness.

Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements, 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 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 audit opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with Reference to these Standalone Financial Statements

A companys internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements 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 with reference to these standalone financial statements 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 with Reference to these Standalone Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements, 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 with reference to these standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at March 31, 2023:

The Company did not have appropriate internal financial controls over (a) Assessment of impairment in value of long term equity investment and assessment of impairment in value of loans and advances to various parties, (b) Control over reconciliation of Creditors balances or other advances, (c) Control over the statutory compliances, (d)} Assessment of expected cash requirement for the timely payment of statutory dues such as Income tax, Service tax, GST, and PF etc.

The inadequate supervisory and review control over Companys process in respect of aforesaid assessment in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India could

TR Aa potentially result in a material misstatement in preparation and presentation of standalone financial statement including the profit/loss after tax.

A ‘material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim standalone financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Qualified opinion
