for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 Financial Statements''
section of our report. We are independent of the Company

of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the

the Rules thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence
obtained by us 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 for the year ended March 31, 2025.
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. We have determined the matters described below to
be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition Refer to accounting policy for Revenue Recognition in Note 2 to the financial statements. The Company recognised revenue of Rs.7,074.87 lakhs for the year ended March 31,2025. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when entity satisfies the performance obligation by transferring promised goods to the customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. This requires detailed analysis of the Inco terms of each sales order regarding determination of timing of revenue recognition. Depending on the Inco terms with the customers, control is transferred to the buyer either at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon acceptance by the customer. We identified this matter as a Key Audit Matter, due to the complexity in assessing the transfer of control to the customers and consequent inherent risk that revenue is recognized in the incorrect period.

Our procedures included the following: • Evaluated the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies of the Company with the the principles of Indian Accounting standard 115 - ‘Revenue from contracts with customer'' (‘Ind AS 115'') • Evaluated the design, implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to revenue recognition including general information and technology control environment, key IT application controls over the Company''s IT systems which govern revenue recognition in the general ledger accounting system. • Performed Analytical procedures on revenue recognised during the year to identify and inquire on unusual variances, if any and getting the reasons for variances confirmed from the management of the Company. • Ensured completeness and existence assertion by performing substantive testing on selected samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year by testing the underlying documents including customer PO, Order acceptance (OA), invoices, shipping documents and customer receipts and obtaining Independent balance confirmation from the customers at the balance sheet date.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

• Ensured cut off assertion by reviewing the Company''s revenue recognition policies, testing samples of revenue transactions near the end of the reporting period and verified shipping and billing documents to ensure that the revenue is recorded in corrected accounting period. • Tested on a sample basis, manual journal entries relating to revenues to identify and inquire on unusual items, if any. • Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the financial statements to ensure they are accurate, complete and comply with the requirements of Ind AS 115. • Based on our procedures performed above, the timing of revenue recognition was considered to be appropriate.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 financial statements” section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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.

Inventory Provision -

As at March 31, 2023, the Company held inventories of Rs. 849.19 lakhs (net of provision of Rs. 37.09 lakhs). Inventories are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value in accordance with the accounting policy of the Company.

The Company makes provision for slow moving and/ or obsolete inventory by arriving at net realisable value based on provisioning policy, past experience, current trend and future expectations of realisation of the materials depending upon the category of goods.

Significant judgment is required in assessing the appropriate level of the provision for slow moving and/ or obsolete inventory.

Accordingly, we have considered provision for inventories to be a key audit matter.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our procedures included the following:

• Evaluated the appropriateness of the Company''s accounting policy in relation to inventory provision.

• Obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls that the Company has in relation to inventory provision.

• Compared the methodology used to calculate the inventory provision and its consistency with prior periods and obtained an understanding of management justification for changes.

• Tested the calculation of the provision as per the Company''s policy.

• Tested on a sample basis, whether inventories are accounted at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

• Assessed the adequacy of the Company''s disclosure with respect to the inventory provision.

Based on the above procedures performed, we did not identify

any significant exceptions in the management''s assessment in

relation to the provision for inventory and the related disclosure

thereof.

Other Information

5. The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Board 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 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 in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Board report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with

governance for the financial statements

6. The Company''s Board of Directors is 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 financial position, financial performance, changes in equity 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. 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.

7. In preparing the 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. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

8. 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.

9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of Multibase India Limited

Report on the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Multibase India Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2018, 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 summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as ‘Ind AS financial statement'').

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit (including 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) prescribed 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 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 Ind AS 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 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS 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 thereunder.

Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company''s preparation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. 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 Ind AS financial statements.

We are also responsible to 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 entity''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Ind AS financial statements.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Multibase India Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March 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” (ICAI). 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 (‘the Act'').

Auditor’s 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 the 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 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 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 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 31 March 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.
