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,

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.

been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
Such reversal is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
l. Revenue Recognition:

accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the
reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed
depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. However, if there are unabsorbed
depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that
there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has
a legal enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their
realisability.

27. IPL Season - XIV:
The IPL Season XIV started as usual in April 2021. The tournament was held only in 4 centres and our team played all its
matches in Mumbai and New Delhi. The tournament had to be stopped midway due to the significant spread of Covid 19
in India. All the teams had played about 7 matches each when the tournament was suspended. Thereafter the tournament
was continued in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and we are glad to inform the shareholders that our team won the IPL
Trophy for the 4th time.
The expenses for the year under review have been higher consequent to the tournament being held in 2 stages and with
the second stage being held overseas. The revenue was also higher due to the team winning the title.
