We have audited the financial statements of Thomas Scott (India) Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for
the year ended on that date, and a summary of the 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 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 31st March, 2025, the
Profit and total comprehensive profit, changes in equity and its cash flow for the year ended on
that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the 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 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 (‘ICAI’) together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under 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 we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Other Information

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for preparation of the other information. Other
information comprises the information included in the Company’s Annual Report, but does not
include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Act with respect to preparation of these Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash
flows 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
provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to 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 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.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for 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 auditors ’
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 override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we

are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate
internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate appropriateness of accounting policies used and reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on 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 auditors ’ 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.

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 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.
