We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Arunis Abode Limited ("the Company"), which
comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March 2025, and the statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive
income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
standalone financial statements, including a summary of the 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 financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 2025, and loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor''s 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules there under, 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 and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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.
1. Assessment of Going Concern Assumption
Description of Key Audit Matter:
During the year, the Company did not earn any revenue from its real-estate consultancy business activity. Further,
pursuant to a change in majority shareholding, the management has initiated a process to dispose of majority
of assets and liabilities of the Company as part of internal agreements with the new stakeholders. These
developments give rise to significant uncertainty about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern.
Accordingly, assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption used in the preparation of the
financial statements required significant auditor attention.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
⢠Reviewed Board resolutions and correspondence regarding the management''s restructuring and disposal
plans.
⢠Examined the Company''s liquidity position and cash flow projections.
⢠Evaluated the classification and measurement of assets and liabilities under Ind AS.
⢠Assessed the adequacy of disclosures relating to going concern in Note 27 to the financial statements.
2. Recognition and Valuation of Inter-Corporate Deposits (ICDs)
Description of Key Audit Matter:
As part of treasury operations during the transition period, the Company invested surplus funds arising from the
sale of assets into short-term Inter-Corporate Deposits (ICDs). The recognition and valuation of these financial
assets require significant judgment with respect to the creditworthiness of counterparties, recoverability, and
measurement under Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments. This was considered a key audit matter due to the
materiality of these investments and the inherent risks associated with such transactions.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
⢠Obtained and verified ICD agreements and reviewed counterparties'' financial health.
⢠Tested recoverability, including interest income recognition and impairment analysis under the Expected
Credit Loss (ECL) model.
⢠Evaluated compliance with Ind AS 109 and adequacy of related disclosures in Note [Y] to the financial
statements.
We draw attention to Note 27 to the financial statements which explain the fact that major shareholder and existing
promoter of the Company executed a Share Purchase Agreement whereby he has sold his entire holding. As per a
mutual understanding between the outgoing and incoming management, the existing investments and properties of
the Company are being liquidated prior to full transfer of control. Pending deployment of such funds, the Company
has temporarily placed surplus proceeds in the form of inter-corporate deposits (ICDs) with select entities to optimize
returns.
The outgoing management believes that the thresholds of ''net-owned funds'' as defined under section 45-IA of the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and ''financial activity as principal business'' as explained in RBI vide press release
1998-99/1269 dated April 8, 1999, as determined by 50-50 test are achieved by the Company only temporarily. No
communication with the regulator, i.e. RBI is made as the breach of limits is only due to specific events and participation
in ICDs is made in good faith for efficient fund utilization during the transition period.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2024 were audited by the predecessor auditor
whose Audit Report dated 24th May 2024 expressed an unmodified opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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 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 in the 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.
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and
profit of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards (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 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.
In preparing the 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 management either intends 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.
Our 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 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 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, 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 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
entity''s internal controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
⢠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 material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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.

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Arunis Abode Limited (formerly known as M. B. Parikh
Finstocks Limited) (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March, 2024, and the statement of
profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the 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 (âActâ) 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, 2024, and profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows
for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor''s 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 together independent requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules their under, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters (''KAM'') are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significanc e 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.
The Company has major income from consultancy to its clients relating to real estate business and other incomes.
The Company applies Ind AS 115 âRevenue from contracts with customersâ for recognition of revenue from consultancy,
which is being recognised at a point in time upon the Company satisfying its performance obligation which is linked to
the informing customer of completion of service and receiving confirmation from customer regarding invoice
generation.
Since significant judgement is involved in identifying performance obligations and determining when ''confirmation'' of
the customer is received basis which revenue is recognised, we have considered revenue recognition as a key audit
matter.
Our audit procedures in respect of this area, among others, included the following:
⢠Read the company''s revenue recognition accounting policies and evaluated the appropriateness of the same with
respect to principles of Ind AS 115 and their application to the significant customer contracts;
⢠Obtained and understood the company''s process for revenue recognition including identification of performance
obligations and receipt of confirmation from customer for completion of service;
⢠Evaluated the design and implementation and verified, on a test check basis, the operating effectiveness of key
internal controls over revenue recognition including controls around provision of consultancy and receiving customer
confirmation;
â¢Verified the sample of revenue contract for consultancy to identify the performance obligations of the company under
these contracts and assessed whether these performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time based
on the criteria specified under Ind AS 115;
â¢Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in standalone financial statements in compliance
with the requirements of Ind AS 115 - ''Revenue from contracts with customer''.
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 the 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.
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 state of
affairs, profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (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

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.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s standalone financial reporting process.
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

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 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.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
⢠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

may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our

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 statement of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe 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.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of M.B. Parikh
Finstocks Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the 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 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 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
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 statements that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards and matters which are 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 financial
statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid 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 profit and its cash flow for the year
ended on that date.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2015 ("the
Order") issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 143(11)
of the Act, we give in the Annexure a statement on the matters
specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order.
2. As required by Section 143 (3) of the Act, we report that:
(a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations
which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purposes of our audit.
(b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
