We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Heera Ispat Limited ("the Company")which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024 and the Statement of Profit and Loss(including the Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statementof Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including materialaccounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "financialstatements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, theaforesaid 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 Indian AccountingStandards ("Ind AS") prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally acceptedin India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, the loss and totalcomprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company has Rs. Nil (Previous Year Rs. Nil) revenue from operations. The company has beenunable to conclude negotiation or obtain business orders. In view of the management's expectationof the successful business agreement in near future, the financial statements have been preparedon going concern basis. This situation indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statementsdo not adequately disclose this matter.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under section143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independentof the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit ofthe financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rul0065s made there under, and wehave fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the icai'sCode of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statement.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 13 to the accompanying Financial Results, which describes the applicationsubmitted by the Company to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on 13th June 2023,requesting a waiver of the penalty imposed in connection with non-submission/late submission ofvarious listing compliance documents to BSE. The outcome of this application is uncertain and mayhave a material impact on the financial statements. Furthermore, the said note also discloses thecompany's provision of Rs. 10 Lakhs for the estimated penalty amount payable and its classificationas an exceptional item. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. Theother information comprises the information included in the Company's Annual report, but does notinclude the Financial Statements and Auditor's report there on.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that if there is a material misstatement of thisother information, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governanceand take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 with respect to the preparation of these financial statements thatgive a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/loss and other comprehensive income, changesin equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specifiedunder section 133 of the Act.

In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible forassessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detectinga material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
