We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of ACS TECHNOLOGIES
LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 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 notes to the financial statements
including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information
(hereinafter referred to as the "Standalone Financial Statements").
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 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 ("Ind AS") and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025,
and its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
Basis For Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone 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 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 ("ICAI") 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 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit 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 for the financial year ended March 31,2025. 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 determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Report on Corporate Governance is 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
will 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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our
knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's report including annexures to
Board's report, Report on Corporate Governance Report, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance
as required under SA 720 'The Auditor's responsibilities Relating to Other Information'.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors 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 and presentation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including 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 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 and Board of Directors are
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
the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial
reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility 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 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 skepticism 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 financial 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 control system 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 the 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.
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 financial controls 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 standalone 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.
