We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Eastern Treads Limited (''the Company''), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash flows for the year then ended and the notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred
to as âthe financial statementsâ).
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 (âthe 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, (âIND ASâ) and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and its loss, total comprehensive income,
its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standard of Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibility 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 made thereunder and we have fulfilled our 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 opinion on the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2024 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IND AS. Our audit did
not identify any matters that required an âEmphasis of Matterâ paragraph, indicating that there were no issues requiring
special emphasis or disclosure beyond what is already included in the financial statements.
Key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of 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 matters described below to be key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

degree of estimation uncertainty, we considered ECL to |

⢠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 auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s
report.
⢠Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will 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 identified
above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
⢠When we read the management report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matters to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 ''The Auditor''s responsibilities
Relating to Other Information''.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013
(âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, and cash flows and changes in equity 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
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, the 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 the management 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 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 scepticism
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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 made by the 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 a 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.
⢠Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the company to express an
opinion on the financial statements.
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 (ii) to evaluate
the effect of any identified misstatements in the 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 utmost
significance in the audit of financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matter.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.

in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give in Annexure âAâ a statement on the

ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF EASTERN TREADS LIMITED Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-Section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Eastern Treads Limited as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs 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.
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 Companyâs 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 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 auditorâs 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 Companyâs 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 the preparation 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 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 March 31, 2017, 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.
Annexure referred to in paragraph 1 of our Report of even date to the members of Eastern Treads Limited on the accounts of the Company for the period ended 31st March, 2017.
In terms of Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order 2016, issued by Central Government of India, in terms of Section 143(11) of The Companies Act, 2013, we further report, on the matters specified in paragraph 3 and 4 of the said Order, that:-
