We have audited the accompanying Standalone
Financial Statements of ACCEL Limited ("the
Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance
Sheet as at 31st March 2025, the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement
of changes in Equity and Standalone Statement
of Cash Flows for the year then ended, notes to
the Standalone Financial Statements including
material accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, except for
the possible effect of the matter described in the
Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report,
the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give
the information required by the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Actâ) in the manner so required and give
a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under Section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended,
("Ind ASâ)and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31st March 2025, and its profit,
other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
(i) Refer to Note no. 47A to the Standalone
Annual Financial Statements regarding the
recoverability of loan given to one of its
Subsidiary Companies of Rs. 663.04 Lakhs
outstanding as on 31st March 2025 (Previous
year Rs 490.88 lakhs), which also includes debt
on account of preference shares that were not
redeemed as on 31st March 2025, that are
significantly overdue. The Management is of the
view that there is no diminution to the carrying
value of these loans and advances. However,
in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit
evidence regarding the timing of repayment
and extent of cash flows that will be available
from the respective company to settle these
dues, we are unable to comment upon the
recoverability of the carrying value of the said
as at 31st March 2025 and the consequential
impact thereof, if any, on the accompanying
Statement. Our Report on Audited Standalone
Financial Statements for the year ended 31st
March 2024 has been qualified in this regard.
(ii) Refer to Note no. 47 B to the standalone
financial statement regarding the carrying
value of the unquoted Investment of its one
associate company amounting to Rs. 487.79
Lakhs. The Management has not recognized
the diminished value based on an independent
valuer who valued at Rs. 172.82 Lakhs on 28th
February 2025 in respect of this investment.
The Management is of the opinion that there is
no diminishing value of these investments and
considers the Present Value as Fair Value. In
the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence
to support the management conclusion, we
are unable to comment upon adjustments, if
any, that may be required to the carrying value
of these investments and their consequential
impact on the accompanying standalone
financial statements.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone 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 Auditor''s Responsibility
for the Audit of the Standalone 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 Standalone
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 obtained by us
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the standalone 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 matter
described below to be the key audit matter to be
communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matters |
Auditor''s Response |
|
1. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION ⢠The Company enters into revenue ⢠This has been determined as a KAM Refer Note no. 3.11 |
Our audit procedures included but were not limited to the following: ⢠Obtaining an understanding of and testing ⢠Obtaining Information technology (''IT'') reports to ⢠Testing of revenue transactions during the year ⢠In respect of the contracts tested, evaluating ⢠Verifying the underlying evidences to ensure that ⢠Evaluating the adequacy of disclosures in the |
The Company''s Management and Board of
Directors are responsible for the other information.
The other information comprises the information
included in the Company''s Annual Report, but does
not include the Standalone Financial Statements
and our auditor''s report thereon.
⢠Our Opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone
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.
⢠The Annual Report is not made available to us as
of the date of this auditor''s report. Accordingly,
we have nothing to report in this regard
Emphasis of Matter
(i) Refer note no. 48 to the Standalone Financial
statements for the year, the balance at the end
of the financial year for trade receivables, trade
payables, loans & advances and advances
received from the customers are subject to
confirmation. The Management is of the view
that there is no permanent diminution/Changes
to the carrying value of these trade receivables,
loans & advances, advance received and trade
payables; however, provisions as per policy has
been made in this regard in the accompanying
financial statements.
(ii) Refer Note no. 52A to the Standalone financial
statements where the Company has proposed
to amalgamate one of its subsidiary companies.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of the
above matters.
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of
these Standalone Financial Statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and Cash flows of the
Company in accordance with 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 the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgements
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 Standalone
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 and Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Board of
Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting
process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the Standalone Financial Statements
as a whole are free from material misstatements,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s
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 standalone financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we
exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit, we
also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the Standalone 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 controls
relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Act, 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 in
the Standalone Financial Statements made by
the Management and Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of
Management and Board of Directors use of
the going concern basis of accounting in
preparation of standalone financial statements
and based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company''s ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor''s report to
the related disclosures in the Standalone
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 auditor''s 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 standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the
standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or
in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the
Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work
and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements
in the standalone financial statements.
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 Standalone Financial Statements
of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We described these matters in our
auditor''s 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.

⢠In connection with our audit of the Standalone 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,
⢠I f, 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,
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and Cash flows of the Company in accordance with the IND AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making Judgements 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 Standalone 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 and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors 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 Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s 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 standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit, we also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, 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 in the Standalone Financial Statements made by the Management and Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of Management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, if we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are reguired to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadeguate, to modify our opinion, Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation,
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced, We consider Quantitative materiality and Qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements,
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 reguirements 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 Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters, We described these matters in our auditor''s 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 conseguences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effect of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid 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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS")and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2023, and its profit, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion

sum of Rs. 329.00 lakhs as on 31st March 2023 (Previous year Rs.329.00 lakhs) which are significantly overdue. The Management is of the view that there is no diminution to the carrying value of these loans, though a provision of Rs. 160 Lakhs (Previous year Rs. 60 lakhs) had been created in the books on a conservative basis as on 31st March 2023. However, in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the timing of repayment and extent of cash flows that will be available from the respective companies to settle these dues, we are unable to comment upon the recoverability of the carrying value of the said advances as at 31st March 2023 and the consequential impact thereof, if any, on the accompanying Statement.
Refer to Note no. 47(b) to the Standalone Financial Statements regarding recoverability of loan given to one of its subsidiary Company of Rs. 361.69 Lakhs outstanding as on 31st March 2023 (Previous year Rs.302.40 lakhs), which are significantly overdue. The Management is of the view that there is no diminution to the carrying value of these loans and advances. However, in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the timing of repayment and extent of cash flows that will be available from the respective company to settle these dues, we are unable to comment upon the recoverability of the carrying value of the said as at 31st March 2023 and the consequential impact thereof, if any, on the accompanying Statement.
Our Report on audited Standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2023 has been qualified in this regard.

Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone 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 Standalone 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.

To comply with requirements of Ind AS 103 - (''Business Combinations''), the restatement of the financial statements has been given effect from the beginning of the preceding period i.e. April 1, 2020 in the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period.

We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matters |
Auditor''s Response |
|
1. |
CAPITALIZATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND RELATED DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION There are areas where management judgement impacts the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and their respective depreciation/amortization rates. These include the decision to capitalize or expense costs; the annual asset life review; the timeliness of the capitalization of assets and the use of management assumptions and estimates for the determination or the measurement and recognition criteria for assets. These additions towards the completion of the first phase of Accel Infinium at KINFRA Film & Video Park Thiruvananthapuram measuring 1,65,000 sq. ft. IT Complex in the KINFRA Special Economic Zone in Thiruvananthapuram during this FY 2022-23. The total value of capitalization is Rs. 4,119 lakhs. With regard to Capital Expenditure, The Management has identified specific expenditures including employee costs, interest on specific borrowings and other costs relating to assets and has applied judgement to assess, if the cost incurred in relation to these assets meets recognition criteria of Property, Plant and Equipment in accordance with Ind AS 16. This has been determined as a key audit matter due to (i) the significance of the Capital Expenditure during the year (ii) the risk that the elements of costs that are eligible for capitalization are not appropriately capitalized in accordance with the recognition criteria provided in Ind AS 16 and (iii) Assessment of useful lives and residual values of plant machinery in an integrated and complex plants involves management judgment, consideration of historical experiences, anticipated technological changes, etc. |
OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES INCLUDED BUT WERE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: ⢠We evaluated the Board''s approval for the construction of 1,65,000 sq. ft. IT Complex in the KINFRA Special Economic Zone in Thiruvananthapuram. ⢠Understood, evaluated and tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating to capitalization of various costs incurred in relation to Property Plant and Equipment. ⢠Performed test of details relating to capital acquisition process i.e. quotation/ vendor selection, invoice and purchase order approvals and classification. ⢠Performed test of details with focus on those items (including specific borrowing costs etc.) that we considered significant due to their amount or nature and tested a number of items capitalized during the year against underlying supporting documents to ascertain the nature of costs and whether they meet the recognition criteria provided in Ind AS 16 in this regard. ⢠Tested other costs debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss Account, to ascertain whether these meet the criteria for capitalization. ⢠Our procedures as mentioned above did not identify any costs that had been inappropriately capitalized. ⢠Evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions considered by the management in estimation of useful life and residual values. ⢠Assessing whether the impact on account of the change has been appropriately recognized in the financial statements. ⢠Ensured adequacy of disclosures in the standalone financial statements. |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s Annual Report, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
⢠Our Opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and Cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements 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 Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors 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 Company''s financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s 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 the users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit, we also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, 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 in the Standalone Financial Statements made by the Management and Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of
Management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions, that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone 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 auditor''s 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
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 the 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 Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor''s report unless the 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.

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. Accel Transmatic Limited ("The Company") as of 31 March 2018 In conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Reporting
The Company''s 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 (''ICAI''). 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 company''s 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 Company''s 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 auditor''s 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 Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s 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 31st March 2018, 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

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
Accel Transmatic Limited ('the Company'), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Cash flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's 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 and presentation 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
Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgements 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
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the
provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and
matters which arc required to be included in the audit report under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit: evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.
Opinion
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 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 31st March, 2015 and its Loss and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
i) We draw attention to Note No.9.7 As stated therein, the management
expects the value in use, based on estimated future cash flows, for the
Intellectual Property rights amounting to Rs. 5,43,76,881/- carried in
the books as Intangible Asset to be not: less than its carrying amount
. Hence, no adjustment for impairment is
made in the books of account. The pattern/quantum of the cash flows
would, however, depend upon crystallization of enquiries received by
the company.
ii) Also, as stated in Note No.4.1, the Company has suffered cash loss
from its operations during the year. The Net Worth of the Company has
been fully eroded as at: the Balance Sheet date. The Current
Liabilities as at the year end exceeds the Current Assets by
Rs.1,46,71,393/- . This, read with the matters stated in para (i)
above, raises serious doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern.
iii) Attention is Invited to Note No.21.9. As stated therein, the
proposal of merger of the holding Company with the Company w.e.f. 1st
April, 2014(Appolnted Date) is pending before the Stock Exchange, and
hence no adjustments have been made in the Accounts towards the same.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matters.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about

from its operations during the year. The Net worth of the company has
been fully eroded as at the Balance Sheet date. The Current

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying fnancial statements of Accel
Transamatics Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at March 31, 2013, the Statement of Proft and Loss and the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of signifcant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these fnancial
statements that give a true and fair view of the fnancial position,
fnancial performance and cash fows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in sub- section (3C) of section
211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (" the Act").This responsibility
includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the fnancial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fnancial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the fnancial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the fnancial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the fnancial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the fnancial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fnancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the fnancial statements give the information
required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair
view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of afairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2013;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Proft and Loss , of the Loss for
the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash fows for the
year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
i. We draw attention to Note No.10.7. As stated therein, the management
expects estimated future cash fows out of the Intellectual Property
rights amounting to Rs.9,87,92,490, carried in the books as Intangible
asset to be not less than carrying amount of its Assets. The
pattern/quantum of the future cash fows would, however, essentially
depend upon crystallisation of enquiries received by the company.
ii. Also as stated in Note no. 4.1, the Company has sufered cash loss
from its operations during the year. The Net worth of the company has
been fully eroded as at the Balance Sheet date. The Current
Liabilities as at the year end exceeds the Current Assets by Rs.
11,32,18,197/-. This, read with the matters stated in para (i) above,
raises concerns about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. However, in view of the facts stated in the said notes, the
Accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis.
Our opinion is not qualifed in respect of the above matters.
