Kiri Industries Limited ("the Company"), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025, 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 ended on that date, and a summary of the
material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(hereinafter referred to as "the standalone financial statements").

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 Indian Accounting Standards

AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, the net
profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and the
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 (SA''s) specified
under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities
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.

Emphasis of Matter

1. We draw attention to various court cases and judgments
in relation to disputes between the Company and DyStar
Global Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (DyStar) & Senda
International Capital Ltd. (Senda)

The Singapore International Commercial Court ("SICC"), in its
judgment dated March 3, 2023 (the "Valuation Judgment"),
determined the fair value of the Company''s 37.57% stake in
DyStar to be USD 603.80 million, an increase of USD 122.20
million over the previously determined value of USD 481.60
million in the SICC''s judgment dated June 21,2021.

Following Senda''s failure to complete the buyout of the
Company''s stake in DyStar, the Company filed an alternate
relief application on July 23, 2023, seeking enforcement of
the Valuation Judgment. Hearings took place on January
24 and 25, 2024. Subsequently, on February 23, 2024, the
SICC issued an interim order directing that the respective
shareholdings in DyStar held by the Company and Senda
(collectively, the "Shares") be sold en bloc, with Mr. Matthew
Stuart Becker, Mr. Lim Loo Khoon, and Mr. Tan Wei Cheong
of Deloitte & Touche LLP appointed as joint and several
Receivers to manage and facilitate the sale.

On May 20, 2024, the SICC issued its final order and grounds
of decision in continuation of the interim order, providing
the following directives:

a) The en bloc sale of DyStar shall proceed without a
reserve price.

b) The sale must be completed by the long-stop date of
December 31, 2025.

c) The proceeds of sale, after deduction of receiver
remuneration and sale expenses, shall be distributed
as follows:

• Kiri Industries Limited shall receive USD 603.8
million in priority; and

• Senda shall receive any remaining balance.

d) The Court denied claims for interest on the buyout
amount and for any advance payment from DyStar to
the Company.

The Company has filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal
(Singapore Supreme Court) against the SICC''s decision not

to award interest on the buyout amount. Senda has also
filed an appeal challenging the SICC''s decision to award
priority payment of USD 603.8 million to the Company.

In a subsequent judgment dated August 29, 2024, the SICC
ruled that:

a) Senda shall pay the Company S$360,050 in legal costs
and reimburse disbursements totaling S$ 17,053.81
and USD 6,415.18.

b) The Company shall pay DyStar S$ 125,705 in legal
costs and disbursements totaling S$8,126.91 and
USD1,223.57.

In its judgment dated January 31, 2025, the Singapore
Supreme Court:

a) Dismissed Senda''s appeal against the priority payment;

b) Upheld the Company''s entitlement to interest on the
buyout amount at the rate of 5.33% per annum on
USD 603.80 million, accruing from September 3, 2023
until the date of payment.

In the process of en bloc sale of DyStar, Zhejiang Longsheng
Group Co., Ltd ("Purchaser") has entered into a Share
Purchase Agreement ("SPA") on May 29, 2025 with Mr.
Matthew Stuart Becker, Mr. Lim Loo Khoon, and Mr. Tan Wei
Cheong of Deloitte & Touche LLP, acting as court-appointed
joint and several receivers ("Receivers"), and Kiri Industries
Limited ("the Company").

Under the terms of the agreement, the Purchaser has
agreed to acquire 2,623,354 equity shares, representing
37.57% of the paid-up share capital of DyStar held by the
Company, for a base consideration of USD 676,260,000.
An additional consideration of USD 20,287,800 is payable
by the Purchaser to address any shortfall in the base
consideration or to fulfil the Purchaser''s obligations under
the SPA. The total consideration for the transaction may also
be further adjusted pursuant to the terms of the SPA. The
long-stop date for the fulfilment or waiver of the last of the
conditions in the SPA is scheduled for October 2, 2025, and
may be extended, if required, up to November 3, 2025 (or
such other date as the Receivers and Purchaser may agree
in writing). This transaction is subject to customary closing
conditions and, where applicable, regulatory approvals
and hence dependent on purchaser''s ability to fulfill the
conditions required for execution of SPA.

2. We draw attention to Facility Agreement entered the
Company with Claronex Holdings Pte. Ltd., a wholly
owned overseas subsidiary of the Company ("Borrower" /
"Claronex"), Mr. Manishkumar P Kiri ("Promoter"), Meritz

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance 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. Against
Key audit matter, our description of how our audit addressed the
matter is provided in that context.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor''s Response

Inventory of Raw material and Finished Goods

1

We refer to material accounting policies on inventory and
Note No. 1.12.

Inventories are considered as Key Audit Matter due to nature of
business, technical indicators governing inventory valuation,
size of Balance sheet and because inventory valuation involves
management judgement. According to accounting policy
followed by the company, inventories are valued at lower of
cost or market value. Cost comprise in addition to other things,
overheads related to material, labour and other overheads.
The company has specific procedures to identify risk for
obsolescence and valuation of inventories.

To address the matter our audit procedure included

amongst others:

> Assessing the compliance of accounting policies over
inventory with applicable accounting standards.

> Assessing the inventory valuation process and practices.

> Assessing the analysis and assessment made by
management with respect to slow moving or obsolete
stock.

overlooking inventory management process.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor''s Response

Assessment of Trade Receivables

2

We refer to material accounting policies on trade
receivables and Note No.1.13.

Trade receivables amounting to '' 9,535.76 lakhs are considered
as Key Audit Matter as they represent approx. 30.16 % of the
current assets of the company. Significant management
judgement is required to assess the recoverability of trade
receivables.

Management performed a detailed analysis considering
customer''s ageing profile, existence of disputes, credit
history, increase in competition, historical payment
pattern, forward-looking information for the estimation
of expected credit losses on its trade receivables and any
other available information concerning the creditworthiness
of counterparties. Management uses this information to
determine whether a provision for impairment is required
either for a specific transaction or for a customer''s balance
overall. The accounting policies, accounting judgements and
estimates and disclosures of trade receivables are included in
Note No. 10 to the financial statements.

To address the matter our audit procedure included

amongst others:

> Obtaining an understanding of and evaluating the
company''s process and control over the collection and
the assessment of the recoverability of trade receivables.

> We evaluated the management''s assessment on the
expected credit loss of trade receivables with reference
to the historical payment records, credit history of the
company''s customers and the correspondence with
customers.

> We tested the ageing of trade receivables at the end of
the reporting period on a sampling basis.

> We assessed the ageing of trade receivables and advances,
the customer''s historical payment patterns and whether
any post year-end payments have been received up to
the date of completing our audit procedures.

> We also obtained evidence of any disputes between the
parties involved, attempts by management to recover
the amounts outstanding and on the credit status of
significant counterparties wherever available.

> We also tested the subsequent settlements and the latest
amounts of revenue certified by customers on a sampling
basis.

We have determined that there are no other Key Audit Matters to communicate in our report.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements
and Auditor''s Report thereon

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the
Management Discussion and Analysis, Director''s Report including
Annexures thereto, Business Responsibility & Sustainbility Report,
Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does
not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s
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 the management for the Standalone
Financial Statements

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 financial position,
financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows 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 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 standalone financial
statements 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.

The Board of Directors are 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 Standards on Audit
(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 Standards on Audit (SAs),
we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

> 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.

> Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls
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 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 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 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.

> 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone
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 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 statements
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.

Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities 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.

Emphasis of Matter

1. We draw attention to various court cases and judgments in relation to disputes between Kiri Industries Ltd., ("the Company") and DyStar Global Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("DyStar") & Senda International Capital Ltd. ("Senda")

The Singapore International Commercial Court ("SICC") vide its judgement dated March 3, 2023 ("valuation judgement") has confirmed the final value of Company''s 37.57% stake in DyStar as US$603.80 million as against US$481.60 million, which was valued by the SICC vide its judgement dated June 21, 2021 which was significantly increased by US$122.20 million.

Senda not able to complete buyout of the Company''s stake in DyStar, therefore the Company has filed application on July 23, 2023 for enforcement of valuation judgement with SICC. After submissions by parties, hearing of enforcement proceedings took placed on January 24 and 25, 2024, SICC delivered interim judgment on February 23, 2024:

Brief points of order are reproduced below:

(i) The respective shareholdings (collectively, the "Shares") in DyStar belonging to the Company and Senda are to be sold en-bloc within such period as the Court may determine. For the avoidance of doubt, the en-bloc sale of the Shares will not be subject to a reserve price and "en-bloc sale" in this context shall mean the execution of a binding and enforceable sale and purchase agreement for the Shares.

(ii) Mr. Matthew Stuart Becker, Mr. Lim Loo Khoon and Mr. Tan Wei Cheong of Deloitte & Touche LLP are appointed as joint and several receivers (collectively, the "Receivers") over the Shares to manage and control the Shares to the extent necessary for the purpose of the en-bloc sale. The

Receivers shall have conduct of the en-bloc sale and shall be empowered to:

(a) execute all documents necessary for the purposes of the en-bloc sale;

(b) give such directions to the Board of Directors and Company Secretary of DyStar as may be necessary to facilitate the en-bloc sale; and

(c) engage such professionals and advisors as may be appropriate in the Receivers'' judgment to advise and assist the Receivers with the en-bloc sale.

(iii) The Receivers'' costs and disbursements will be subject to assessment by the Court in the event they are disputed by any or both of the Company and Senda, and shall be paid from the proceeds of sale, subject to any interim payments ordered by the Court which shall be borne and paid by the Company and Senda equally.

(iv) Within two weeks of the Receivers'' appointment, the Receivers shall notify the Court and the parties as to how much time they require to advise on the estimated period required to enter into an en bloc sale. The Court shall then fix the time within which the Receivers shall notify the Court and the parties as to the estimated period they require to enter into an en bloc sale, and following notification and after hearing from the parties the Court shall fix the longstop date by which the en bloc sale is to have been entered into.

(v) The Company, DyStar and Senda shall cooperate with the Receivers and render all such assistance as the Receivers may require for the purpose of the en-bloc sale including, but not limited to, the provision of information and documents; the procuring of all necessary approvals; and the execution of all necessary documents for this purpose.

As on March 31, 2024, further order by SICC in continuation of interim order was awaited.

2. We draw attention to cash loss incurred by the company during the year under review, cash losses in previous financial year and also losses in the last three financial years. We have been informed by the management of the company that the business of the company is cyclical in nature and is affected either favorably or adversely by various local and global factors. The main reasons for losses are the operating losses due to disturb supply chain along with an ongoing logistic issues which affected the export sales, increases in raw material prices without corresponding increase in the sales prices, sluggish demand in overseas market due to ongoing war between Russia-Ukraine and latest Israel-Gaza which affected entire European market and the significant litigation costs incurred to protect the economic interest in the investment in the overseas associate namely DyStar Global Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. Further repayment of loan amounting to ? 128.03 Crore during these last few years has squeezed company''s cash reserves. However, the realizable value of the assets including investment in overseas associate is significantly higher than the liabilities as ascertained by Singapore International Commercial Court in its Judgment. On discussion regarding risk assessment, the management of the company informed us that the company is able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and the management does not intend to liquidate the company or cease its operations. However, the continuance of the business as a going concern is dependent upon the company''s ability to generate adequate profits to wipe off the accumulated losses of the company

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters. Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance 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. Against Key audit matter, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements.

The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis of our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statement.

Sr. No.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor''s Response

Inventory of Raw material and Finished Goods

1

We refer to material accounting policies on inventory and Note No. 1.12.

Inventories are considered as Key Audit Matter due to nature of business, technical indicators governing inventory valuation, size of Balance sheet and because inventory valuation involves management judgement. According to accounting policy followed by the company, inventories are valued at lower of cost or market value. Cost comprise in addition to other things, overheads related to material, labour and other overheads. The company has specific procedures to identify risk for obsolescence and valuation of inventories.

To address the matter our audit procedure included amongst

others:

> Assessing the compliance of accounting policies over inventory with applicable accounting standards.

> Assessing the inventory valuation process and practices.

> Assessing the analysis and assessment made by management with respect to slow moving or obsolete stock.

> Discussion with those charged with responsibility of overlooking inventory management process.

> Expert opinion obtained by the company on the technicalities of matter.

> Justification of management estimates and Judgements.

> Assessing the effectiveness of perpetual and physical inventory verification process.

Assessment of Trade Receivables

2

We refer to material accounting policies on trade receivables and Note No.1.13 Trade receivables amounting to ? 6,818.51 lakhs are considered as Key Audit Matter as they represent approx. 32 % of the current assets of the company. Significant management judgement is required to assess the recoverability of trade receivables.

Management performed a detailed analysis considering customer''s ageing profile, existence of disputes, credit history, increase in competition, historical payment pattern, forward-looking information for the estimation of expected credit losses on its trade receivables and any other available information concerning the creditworthiness of counterparties. Management uses this information to determine whether a provision for impairment is required either for a specific transaction or for a customer''s balance overall. The accounting policies, accounting judgements and estimates and disclosures of trade receivables are included in Note No. 05 and 10 to the financial statements.

To address the matter our audit procedure included amongst

others:

> Obtaining an understanding of and evaluating the company''s process and control over the collection and the assessment of the recoverability of trade receivables.

> We evaluated the management''s assessment on the expected credit loss of trade receivables with reference to the historical payment records, credit history of the company''s customers and the correspondence with customers.

> We tested the ageing of trade receivables at the end of the reporting period on a sampling basis.

> We assessed the ageing of trade receivables and advances, the customer''s historical payment patterns and whether any post year-end payments have been received up to the date of completing our audit procedures.

> We also obtained evidence of any disputes between the parties involved, attempts by management to recover the amounts outstanding and on the credit status of significant counterparties wherever available.

> We also tested the subsequent settlements and the latest amounts of revenue certified by customers on a sampling basis.

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 the management for the Standalone Financial Statements

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 financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows 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 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 standalone financial statements 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.

The Board of Directors are 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 Standards on Audit (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 Standards on Audit (SAs), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

> Identify 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.

> Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 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 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 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.

> 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone 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 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 statements 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.

ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the

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.

Emphasis of Matter

1. We draw attention to various court cases and

judgments in relation to disputes between Kiri

Industries Ltd., ("the Company") and DyStar Global

Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("DyStar") & Senda

International Capital Ltd. ("Senda")

• The Court of Appeal (the Supreme Court of

2. We draw attention to cash loss incurred by the
company during the year under review and also losses
in the current financial year and previous financial
year. We have been informed by the management
of the company that the business of the company
is cyclical in nature and is affected either favourably
or adversely by various local and global factors. The
main reasons for losses are the operating losses due
to a squeeze on margins, slack demand, recession in
Europe, USA & elsewhere and the significant litigation
costs incurred to protect the economic interest in the
investment in the overseas associate namely DyStar
Global Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. However, the
realizable value of the assets including investment
in overseas associate is significantly higher than
the liabilities as ascertained by Supreme Court of
Singapore in its Judgment. On discussion regarding
risk assessment, the management of the company
informed us that the company is able to realise its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course

matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance 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. Against Key audit
matter, our description of how our audit addressed the
matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone
financial statements section of our report, including in
relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included
the performance of procedures designed to respond to
our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of 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 preparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the information included
in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Director''s
Reportincluding Annexures thereto, Business Responsibility
Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s
Information, but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditor''s 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 the management for the Standalone
Financial Statements

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 financial position, financial performance, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
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 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 standalone financial
statements 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.

The Board of Directors are 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 Standards on Audit
(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 Standards on Audit
(SAs), we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

> Identify 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.

> Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls
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 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 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 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.

> 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
standalone 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
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 statements 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.

(Referred to in Paragraph 2(f) under "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section of our report of even date on the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of the company for the year ended March 31, 2018.)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (I) of Sub-Section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“The Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Kiri Industries Ltd. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company''s 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 company''s 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 (the "Guidance Note") 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 auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS 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.

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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and

3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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, 2018, 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.
