We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of EAST WEST HOLDINGS LTD (“the
Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2023, and the Statement of Profit and Loss,
Statement of changes in Equity 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. (hereinafter referred to as ‘financial statement’).

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 (‘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, 2023 its profit, changes in equity and cash flows
for the year ended on that date.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing 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 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.

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 communicate in our report.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor report thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the Financial Statements and our
auditors’ report thereon. The chairman statement, Directors’ Report, Management discussion and analysis
report (herein after referred to as other report) are expected to be made available to us after the date of this
auditor’s report.

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
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 as no other
information as described above has been made available for review.

Management’s responsibility 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 the preparation of these 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 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 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.

The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company^ financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities 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 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 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also
responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls
system 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 managements 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^ 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.
