We have audited the Standalone financial statements of Aelea
Commodities Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
balance sheet as at 31st March 2025, the statement of Profit
and Loss, 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 ("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, 2025, and its profit,
and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Standalone financial statements
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified
under section 143(10) of the Act ("SAs"). 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 ICAI's Code of Ethics. 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.
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 auditors' 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with
Governance for the Standalone financial statements
The Company's 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. 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 implementation
and maintenance of 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 Standalone financial statements, management
is 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 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 Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities 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 misstatement, 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 judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
a) I dentify 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.
b) 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 Act we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to Standalone financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.
c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
d) Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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 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.
e) 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.
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.
