We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Galaxy Surfactants Limited (the “Company”),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025,
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, 2025, and its profit, total comprehensive income,
its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended
on that date.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s
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

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 matter described
below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in
our report.

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 Director’s Report
including Annexures to Director’s Report, Management
Discussion and Analysis Report, Business Responsibility
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 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 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 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.

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:

• I dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls
relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under
section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the Company
has adequate internal financial controls 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 (i) in 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 financial controls 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.
