Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Uflex Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âthe Standalone Financial Statementsâ).
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 of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows 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 âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsâ 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 thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Attention is drawn to the note no. 40 of the standalone financial statements in respect of additions made by the Income Tax Department in an order passed under section 143 (3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in May 2024 for the Assessment Year (AY) 2020-21 and another order of AY 2021-22 passed during the current year, including the impact of search proceedings conducted on the Company under section 132 (1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the month of February 2023. The Company has preferred appeals against the above stated order of demands as stated in the said note. As the proceedings under the aforesaid section 132 (1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the relevant AYs are pending/ going on, the impact of the matter on the standalone financial statements, cannot be assessed, is currently undetermined. As stated in note, the management of the Company after considering all available information, available judicial pronouncement on the similar issues and facts as on date, is confident that no material tax liability will devolve on the Company.
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 Standalone Financial Statements for the current year. 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.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matters |
|
Revenue including receivables |
|
|
The Company derives its revenues from multiple products and services including flexible packaging activities, engineering and related activities etc. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when the control has been transferred subject to the terms with the customers, which generally coincides with dispatch of goods to customers. Revenue, from the service contract is recognized when the related services are performed. Revenue including receivables is identified as a key audit area due to the significance as regards the time and efforts in assessing the appropriateness of revenue recognition covering the aspects of completeness, occurrence, cut off, rights and obligations, etc. |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included: ⢠Assessed the appropriateness of the Companyâs revenue recognition accounting policies in compliance with Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ. ⢠Verified the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over the revenue process as regard the timing, occurrence and value of the revenue recognised. ⢠Verified sales transaction testing based on a representative sample to ensure that the related revenues are recorded appropriately taking into consideration the terms and conditions for the sale orders, including the shipping terms, etc. Also performed procedures regarding the sales returns, trade discounts, rate differences, volume rebates and other factors, having bearing on the revenue recognition. ⢠Performed sales cut off procedures by matching dispatches/ deliveries occurring around the year end to support the documentation to establish that sales are properly recorded in the correct period. ⢠Verified the customers with overdue receivables with marginal or no movement to determine the level of provisioning required in the receivable. ⢠Verified the adequacy of disclosure relating to revenue in the financial statements in compliance with Ind AS 115. |
|
Capitalisation of property, plant and equipment including capital work in progress (CWIP) (refer note 2A and 47) |
|
|
The Company continues to invest in significant capital projects with capital expenditure during the current year. The significant level of capital expenditure requires consideration of the determination of the timing of when the asset is ready for its intended use by the management and the nature of costs incurred to ensure that capitalisation of property, plant and equipment meets the specific recognition criteria in Ind AS 16, âProperty, Plant and Equipmentâ, specifically in relation to assets constructed/installed by the Company and the direct incidental cost capitalised. Further, capitalisation of property, plant and equipment including CWIP has a material impact, and also involves greater amount of subjectivity and estimation uncertainty as a result of the long-term nature and complexity of the specific capital projects and hence identified as Key Audit Matter. |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included: ⢠Assessed the appropriateness of the Companyâs accounting policies with respect to âProperty plant and equipmentâ in compliance with Ind AS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment". ⢠Understood and verified the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls in respect of the timing and amounts capitalised. ⢠Performed substantive procedures to verify the validity of amounts capitalised and evaluating whether assets capitalised meet the recognition criteria set out in Ind AS 16. ⢠Verified on sample basis the costs capitalised during the year focusing on items significant due to their amount or nature, to check whether such costs had been appropriately capitalised under the correct asset category. ⢠Verified the timing of the capitalisation in terms of criteria met by the Company for the intended use of the Property, Plant and Equipment. ⢠Verified that capitalisation of assets ceased when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company. ⢠Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in compliance with the requirements of Ind AS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment". |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companyâs annual report but does not include the standalone and consolidated 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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 Companyâs 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 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 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 standalone 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, the Management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors 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.
Auditorâs 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 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 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 auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 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 for the current year 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.
The audited standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024, were audited by one of the predecessor joint auditor with Vijay Sehgal & Co. who have jointly expressed an unmodified opinion vide their reports dated May 28, 2024.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.

UFlex Limited
We have audited the standalone financial statements of UFlex Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, and the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âthe Standalone Financial Statementsâ).
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 (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its profit, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
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 âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsâ 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 ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
We draw attention to the note 41 of the standalone financial statements which states that the Income Tax Department initiated search proceedings on the Company under section 132 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the month of February 2023. Since the outcome of the proceedings is pending and uncertain, impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements is currently unascertainable.
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 standalone financial statements for the current year. 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.
|
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matters |
|
Revenue including receivables |
|
|
The Company derives its revenues from multiple products and services including flexible packaging activities, engineering and related activities etc. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when the control has been transferred subject to |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included: - Assessed the appropriateness of the Companyâs revenue recognition accounting policies in compliance with Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ. - Verified the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over the revenue process as regard the timing, occurrence and value of the revenue recognised. |
|
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matters |
|
the terms with the customers, which generally coincides with dispatch of goods to customers. Revenue, from the service contract is recognized when the related services are performed. Revenue including receivables is identified as a key audit area due to the significance as regards the time and efforts in assessing the appropriateness of revenue recognition covering the aspects of completeness, occurrence, cut off, rights and obligations, etc. |
- Verified sales transaction testing based on a representative sample to ensure that the related revenues are recorded appropriately taking into consideration the terms and conditions for the sale orders, including the shipping terms, etc. Also performed procedures regarding the sales returns, trade discounts, rate differences, volume rebates and other factors, having bearing on the revenue recognition. - Performed sales cut off procedures by matching dispatches/ deliveries occurring around the year end to support the documentation to establish that sales are properly recorded in the correct period. - Verified the customers with overdue receivables with marginal or no movement to determine the level of provisioning required in the receivable. - Verified the adequacy of disclosure relating to revenue in the financial statements in compliance with Ind AS 115. |
|
Capitalisation of property, plant and equipment including capital work in progress (CWIP) (refer note 2A and 48) |
|
|
The Company continues to invest in significant capital projects with capital expenditure during the current year. The significant level of capital expenditure requires consideration of the determination of the timing of when the asset is ready for its intended use by the management and the nature of costs incurred to ensure that capitalisation of property, plant and equipment meets the specific recognition criteria in Ind AS 16, âProperty, Plant and Equipmentâ, specifically in relation to assets constructed/installed by the Company and the direct incidental cost capitalised. Further, capitalisation of property, plant and equipment including CWIP has a material impact, and also involves greater amount of subjectivity and estimation uncertainty as a result of the long-term nature and complexity of the specific capital projects and hence identified as Key Audit Matter. |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included: - Assessed the appropriateness of the Companyâs accounting policies with respect to âProperty plant and equipmentâ in compliance with Ind AS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment". - Understood and verified the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls in respect of the timing and amounts capitalised. - Performed substantive procedures to verify the validity of amounts capitalised and evaluating whether assets capitalised meet the recognition criteria set out in Ind AS 16. - Verified on sample basis the costs capitalised during the year focusing on items significant due to their amount or nature, to check whether such costs had been appropriately capitalised under the correct asset category. - Verified the timing of the capitalisation in terms of criteria met by the Company for the intended use of the Property, Plant and Equipment. - Verified that capitalisation of assets ceased when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company. - Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in compliance with the requirements of Ind AS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment". |
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companyâs annual report but does not include the standalone and consolidated 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 in the 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 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 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 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 standalone 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, the Management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors 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.
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 standalonefinancial 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 standalonefinancial 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 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 auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the standalonefinancial 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 auditorâs 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 standalonefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 standalonefinancial statements for the current year 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.
The standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2022, were audited by another firm of chartered accountants along with one of the joint statutory auditors of the Company i.e. MSKA & Associates, vide their unmodified audit report dated May 28, 2022.

The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the âGuidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reportingâ (the âGuidance Noteâ), issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ). 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 the Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI 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. 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 were 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 auditorsâ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. A companyâs 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 Standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Management and Directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Ind AS 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, 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 issued by the ICAI.

("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014,
the Statement of Profit and loss and 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
Management is responsible for 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 Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the
Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September 2013
of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control 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 conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by management, 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.

explanations given to us, the aforesaid
financial statements give the information required by the Act in the
