We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AXEL POLYMERS LIMITED,
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, 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 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, except for the matters stated in para “Emphasis of Matter”, the aforesaid 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 31st March, 2025, its profit, changes in equity
and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We have 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 provision of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the Codes of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the matter that during the year, the Company has extended loan
amounting Rs. 26.03 lakhs to its Director. However, as at the Balance Sheet date, the
account reflects Nil closing balance. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
It is to further state that the Goods and Service Tax Authorities carried out search
proceedings at factory premises of the Company on 03.07.2024 for alleged wrongful
availment and passing on of ITC and the matter is still under investigation. No formal
Show Cause Notice has yet been issued to them as on date. The company has deposited
an amount of Rs. 1 crore under penalty head during the course of such investigation.
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’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the management report and chairman’s
statement, 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 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, 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 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 Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these 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 Indian Accounting Standards (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
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 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, the Board of Director 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 operation, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The 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 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 the users taken on the basis
of these financial statements.
As a 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 risk 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 omission, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedure 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 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
uncertainly 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 finding, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charge 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 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 the 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.
