We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Subam Papers Limited (“the
Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss,
the Cash flow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone 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 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 Accounting Standards (“AS”)
prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as
amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

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 Auditor’s
Responsibilities 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 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 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 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 no key audit matters 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 but does not include the 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 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.

Management’s Responsibility 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, changes in equity 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
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 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 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.

Auditors’ 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 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
scepticism 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 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 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.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company to
express an opinion on the Standalone Financial statements

Materiality is the magnitude of the 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 matter 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 matter. 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 benefit of such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

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 of the aforesaid standalone financial statements.

(a) The Management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no funds (which are
material either individually or in the aggregate) have been advanced or loaned or invested (either from
borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any
other person or entity, including foreign entity (“Intermediaries”), with the understanding, whether
recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall, whether, directly or indirectly lend or invest
in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Company
(“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate

Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;

(c) Based on the audit procedures that have been considered reasonable and appropriate in the
circumstances, nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the representations under
sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11(e), as provided under (a) and (b) above, contain any material
misstatement.

There is no dividend declared or paid during the year by the company. Hence, reporting of compliance

not come across any instances of the audit trail feature being tampered.

Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in the Annexure B a
