The Notes on financial statement referred to in the Auditors' Report are self-explanatory and do not call for any further comments. The Auditors' Report contain some qualifications, the details of qualifications and Management Explanations thereon are as under:-

We were not able to carried out audit procedures in relation to the stocks area. The audit report related to the previous year included a qualification in relation to this area.

The management of Linea De Seguridad had provided all the records related to inventory to the auditors for their checking and verification. The auditors in their report have stated that they have not been able to carry out the verification for the stocks. All the stock records are properly maintained and match with the books of accounts. In absence of verification of stocks by auditors and no quantification pointed out by them, there is no impact of audit qualification in the financial statement.

Aforesaid qualification is the opinion expressed by the auditor of Line De Seguridad SLU, Spain (a subsidiary of holding co.) and management explanations thereon. We have nothing further to comment on the matter.

As indicated in note 15 of the accompanying financial statements, the company has recorded 623,033 euros of tax credits for losses to be offset against future taxable profits on the asset side of its balance sheet and other tax assets for income tax deduction. At the date of this audit report we have not obtained the information required to verify the future recovery of these tax assets according to the tax legislation.

As per the relevant accounting standard, accounting for deferred tax is to be done for temporary timing differences. The relevant accounting standard stipulates that deferred tax assets have to be recognized when there is certainty of future profitability. The Balance sheet of Linea De Seguridad is already in profits in the current year thereby clearly laying down future profitability, therefore the management is of the view that deferred tax asset recognition is as per the relevant accounting standard. Therefore, there is no impact of audit qualification in the financial statement.

Aforesaid qualification is the opinion expressed by the auditor of Line De Seguridad SLU, Spain (a subsidiary of holding co.) and management explanations thereon. We have nothing further to comment on the matter.

In relation to the analysis of bad debts we have reviewed the receivables registered in the attached financial statements.

On the other hand, have not been possible to carry out alternative procedures for one costumer whose balance at year end amounts to 26,084.98 euros.

The Management of Linea De Seguridad is of the view that debtors appearing in the balance sheet as at 31.03.2025 are fully recoverable. There is no impact of audit qualification in the financial statement.

Aforesaid qualification is the opinion expressed by the auditor of Line De Seguridad SLU, Spain (a subsidiary of holding co.) and management explanations thereon. We have nothing further to comment on the matter.

According to tax advisors the company has a liability with the tax authority amounting to 22,954.54 euros. The company has recorded it as payments in advance not recognizing it as expenses in the attached financial statements. In addition the company has registered other tax credit receivables against other financial liabilities amounting to 32,81 1.58 euros. At the date of this report we have not obtained the required information to evaluate its reasonableness.

The management of Linea De Seguridad is taking advise of another tax expert to substantiate the view on tax liability as expressed by the tax advisor as the management is of the opinion that this tax has been deposited in protest and it is fully recoverable. Therefore, there is no impact of audit qualification in the financial statement.

Aforesaid qualification is the opinion expressed by the auditor of Line De Seguridad SLU, Spain (a subsidiary of holding co.) and management explanations thereon. We have nothing further to comment on the matter.

The company has recorded in the liabilities note 14 a debit balance of 104,198.17 euros for which we have not obtained its reasonableness.
