We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Switching Technologies
Gunther Limited (âthe Company"), which comprises of the balance sheet as at March 31, 2025, the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in
Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows forthe year then ended, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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 (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 as at March 31,2025, and its loss, total
comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We draw attention to the Note 37 in the Financial Statements. The Company''s accumulated losses
as at March 31,2025 aggregate to ? 1526.19 Lakhs resulting in complete erosion of its net worth.
Further, as of that date, Companyâs current liabilities exceeded its current assets by ? 724.65
Lakhs. These factors along with other matters as set forth in said notes cast material uncertainty
about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. However,
the Companyâs financial statement has been prepared on going concern basis as disclosed by
management in said note. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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. We have determined that there are no key
audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditorâs 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.
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 standalone 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
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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 implementation
and maintenance of 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 statement 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 Companyâs
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.
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 auditorâs 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 skepticism 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 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 auditorâs 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.
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 standalone 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 standalone 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 auditorâs 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.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Switching Technologies
Gunther Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprises of the balance sheet as at March 31,2024, the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in
Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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 (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 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 draw attention to the Note 37 in the Financial Statements. We draw attention to Note 6 in the
Financial Results. The Company''s accumulated losses as at March 31,2024 aggregate to ? 812.49
Lakhs resulting in complete erosion of its net worth. Further, as of that date, Companyâs current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by ? 79.89 Lakhs. These factors along with other matters as
set forth in said notes cast material uncertainty about the Companyâs ability to continue as a going
concern in the foreseeable future. However, the Companyâs financial statement has been prepared
on going concern basis as disclosed by management in said note. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
We draw attention to Note 28 to the financial statements. Exceptional items represents write back
of credit balances in respect of purchase of raw materials, consumables etc payable to Group
Companies amounting to INR 561.54 Lakhs. The write back has been approved by the Board in its
meeting dated May 29, 2024 and is in the process of intimation to the AD Bank as per prevailing
regulations as applicable. Further, the Management confirms that no interest / penal charge is
being made by the Group Company on account of such write back. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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. We have determined that there are no key
audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditorâs 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.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is 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, 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) 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 implementation
and maintenance of 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 statement 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 Companyâs
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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Ourobjectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe 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 skepticism 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 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs 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.
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 standalone 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 standalone 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 auditorâs 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.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Switching
Technologies Gunther Limited ("the company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss,
the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters in
section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to
the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position, financial performance 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, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes the maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act
for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting the 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 internal financial control, 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's
preparation of the financial statements that give true and fair view in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by Company's Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial
statements.
