which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025
and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Othei
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows anc
the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended or
that date, and notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of material accounting policies and othei
explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information am
according to the explanations given to us the aforesaid

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
prescribed under section 133 of the Act, ("Ind AS") am
other accounting principles generally accepted in India, o
the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025
and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows
and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
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
Responsibility 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
obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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. We have
determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.

⢠Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does
not cover the other information and will 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 identified above when it becomes available
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
The Company''s revenues as disclosed in note 23 to the
standalone financial statements, arising from sale of
products. The Company recognises revenues based on
the terms and conditions of transactions, which vary
with different customers. For sales transactions in a
certain period around balance sheet date, it is essential
to ensure whether the transfer of control of the goods by
the Company to the customer has occurred before the
balance sheet date or otherwise.
Considering that there are significant volume of sales
transactions close to the year end, involving material
amounts and such revenue recognition is subject
to whether transfer of control to the customers has
occurred before the balance sheet date or otherwise, we
consider the risk of revenue from sale of products being
recognised in the incorrect period, a key audit matter.
⢠The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Board''s Report,
Management Discussion and Analysis Report and
Corporate Governance Report, but does not include the
consolidated financial statements, standalone financial
statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The
Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis

nternal controls over recognition of revenue in the

ested the operating effectiveness of the internal control
elating to determination of point in time at which the
transfer of control of the goods occurs.
¦ On sample basis, we performed test of details of sales
recorded close to the year-end through following
procedures:
1. Analysed the terms and conditions of the
underlying contract with the customer, and

goods prior to the balance sheet date or otherwise
from relevant supporting documents.
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.
⢠When we read the Board''s Report, Management
Discussion and Analysis Report and Corporate
Governance Report, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to those charged with governance as required
under SA 720 âThe Auditor''s responsibilities Relating to
Other Information.''
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including 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 the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that give a true and
fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management
and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of
Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company''s Board of Directors is also responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
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 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 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 with reference
to standalone 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 the management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures
in the 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 financia
statements represent the underlying transactions anc
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
standalone financial statements that, individually or ir
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions o
a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financia
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative
materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope o
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 financial controls tha
we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethica
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 o
most significance in the audit of the standalone financia
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 interes
benefits of such communication.
1. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, based on ou
audit we report that:
a) We have sought and obtained all the information and
explanations which to the best of our knowledge and
belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

the year is in accordance with section 123 of
the Act, as applicable.
As stated in Note 13 to the standalone
financial statements, the Board of Directors

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Triton Valves Limited (the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material 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 (the "Act") 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, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2024, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone 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 Responsibility 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.

For impairment testing, management determines recoverable amount, using discounted cash flow projections and accordingly the management has obtained fair value of investments from independent valuation experts for investments in the subsidiaries. We considered the assumptions relating to terminal growth rate, weighted average cost of capital, estimated revenue growth rate, and estimated operating margins used in forecasted future cash flows prepared by the management for estimation of recoverable amount in respect of investments, loans and interest receivable on such loans of '' 1,952.18 Lakhs in Triton Valves Futuretech Private Limited (wholly owned subsidiary) and loans of '' 3,039.48 Lakhs in Triton Valves Climatech Private Limited (wholly owned subsidiary) as a key audit matter due to the significance of the investment, loan amount and interest receivable on such loans and the significant estimates and judgement involved in estimation of these assumptions. |
⢠Performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions such as revenue growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and terminal growth rate. ⢠Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements. ⢠Evaluated past performances where relevant and assessed historical accuracy of the forecast produced by management. |

Revenue Recognition - Cut off |
Principle audit procedures performed: |
|
The Company''s revenues as disclosed in note 23 to the standalone financial statements, arising from sale of products. The Company recognises revenues based on the terms and conditions of transactions, which vary with different customers. For sales transactions in a certain period around balance sheet date, it is essential to ensure whether the transfer of control of the goods by the Company to the customer has occurred before the balance sheet date or otherwise. |
⢠We evaluated the design and implementation of internal controls over recognition of revenue in the appropriate period in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy, including the managements estimates around the average lead time taken to deliver the goods to various customer locations. On a sample basis, we tested the operating effectiveness of the internal control relating to determination of point in time at which the transfer of control of the goods occurs. |
|
|
Considering that there are significant volume of sales transactions close to the year end, involving material amounts and such revenue recognition is subject to whether transfer of control to the customers has occurred before the balance sheet date or otherwise, we consider the risk of revenue from sale of products being recognised in the incorrect period, a key audit matter. |
⢠On sample basis, we performed test of details of sales recorded close to the year-end through following procedures: 1. Analysed the terms and conditions of the underlying contract with the customer, and 2. Verified evidence for transfer of control of the goods prior to the balance sheet date or otherwise from relevant supporting documents. |
⢠The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Corporate Governance Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Corporate Governance Report are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
⢠Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and will 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 identified above when it becomes available 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.
⢠When we read the Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Corporate Governance Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 ''The Auditor''s responsibilities Relating to Other Information''.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including 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 the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 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 standalone 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 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 with reference to standalone 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 the management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern.

⢠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 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.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Triton Valves Limited (the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and 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 (the "Act") 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, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2033 and its loss, total comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone 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 Responsibility 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Auditor''s Response |

For impairment testing, management determines recoverable amount, using discounted cash flow projection and accordingly the management has obtained fair value of investments from independent valuation experts for investments in the two subsidiaries. We considered the assumptions relating to terminal growth rate, weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rate and Profit After Tax (PAT) margins used in discounted cash flow projection for estimation of recoverable amount in respect of investment and loans of Rs. 2,202.17 Lakhs in TritonValves Future Tech Private Limited and Rs 2,702.82 Lakhs in TritonValves Climatech Private Limited (both wholly owned subsidiaries) as a key audit matter due to the significance of the investment and loan amount and the significant estimates and judgement involved in estimation of these assumptions, involving Refer Notes 5 and 7 to the standalone financial statements. |
Performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions such as revenue growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and terminal growth rate. Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements. |

Revenue Recognition- Cut Off The Company''s revenues are as disclosed in Note 23 of the standalone financial statements, arising from sale of products. The Company recognises revenues based on the terms and conditions of transactions, which vary with different customers. For sales transactions in a certain period around balance sheet date, it is essential to ensure whether the transfer of control of the goods by the Company to the customer has occurred before the balance sheet date or otherwise. Considering that there are significant volume of sales transactions close to the year end, involving material amounts and such revenue recognition is subject to whether transfer of control to the customers has occurred before the balance sheet date or otherwise, we consider the risk of revenue from sale of products being recognised in the incorrect period, a key audit matter. |
Principle audit procedures performed: (i) We evaluated the design and implementation of internal controls over recognition of revenue in the appropriate period in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy, including the management''s estimates around the average lead time taken to deliver the goods to various customer locations. On a sample basis, we tested the operating effectiveness of the internal control relating to determination of point in time at which the transfer of control of the goods occurs. (ii) On sample basis, we performed test of details of sales recorded close to the year-end through following procedures: ⢠Analysed the terms and conditions of the underlying contract with the customer ⢠Verified evidence for transfer of control of the goods prior to the balance sheet date or otherwise from relevant supporting documents. |

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
⢠The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for 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 and Corporate Governance Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, 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 Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
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 including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 statement 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company''s Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibility 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 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 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 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 standalone 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 the management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the 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 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 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.

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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company 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") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls.

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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

4.0 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 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.
5.0 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.
6.0 Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Triton Valves Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the 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.
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 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 March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
