We have audited the accompanying Standalone financial statements of M/s. Shree Manufacturing
Company Limited (“the Company’') which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the
Statement of Profit and Loss and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and profit/loss and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in
the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
The Company has significant accumulated losses and has incurred losses during the current and earlier
years. The Company's net worth is fully eroded and the current liabilities exceed its current assets as at
March 31, 2024. These conditions raise a doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
However, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in view of Management
assessment to revive the business operations in years' time and the management's plan to generate
cash flows through operations which would enable the Company to meet its financial obligations as and
when they fall due.
There is no movement in balances of Trade Receivable, Trade payables, Provision for Expenses and
Other non-current Liabilities since 2019.
We considered this to be a key audit matter because of management's assessment to revive the
business operations in years' time.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for
the effect of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the aforesaid standalone
Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a
true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Ind
AS, of the financial position of the Company as at 31 March, 2024, and its financial performance including its
cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Obtaining management assessment of the appropriateness of going concern basis of accounting.
• Reading the minutes of Board of Directors' meetings for future business plans and their
assessment on the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations in the foreseeable future.
• Assessed the actions taken by the management against the plans submitted during the previous
year's going concern assessment
Based on the above procedures performed, the management assessment of going concern basis of
accounting is appropriate.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report thereon
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditors' report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor's report, 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.
Responsibility of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for
safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of
the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements
in the Standalone Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
