the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, and its net profit including other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Inventory Valuation
As at March 31, 2025 the Company held Rs. 36,307.25 Lakhs of
inventory representing 46.09% of total assets. Out of which Stock
amounting to Rs. 4,798.18 Lakhs is lying at third party on sale or
return basis. Given the size of the inventory balance relative to the
total assets of the Company and the number of stores / locations
at which inventory was held and the estimates and judgments
described below and the valuation of inventory required significant
audit attention.
As disclosed in Note No. 2(F), inventories are held at the lower of
cost or net realisable value determined using the weighted average
cost method, except for Dyes and Chemicals included in cost of Raw
Material is determined on First-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.
At year end, the valuation of inventory is reviewed by management
and the cost of inventory is reduced where inventory forecasts to be
sold below cost.
The Company has systems and processes including a barcode
inventory management system to accurately record inventory
movements for stock lying at third party. This process is managed
centrally by head office for consistency.
There are judgments applied in assessing the level of provision for
inventory shrinkage. Management provide for shrinkage each month
on their working and judgment.
|
Principal Audit Procedures
We have performed the following procedures over the valuation of
inventory:-
• For sample inventory items, re-performed the weighted average
cost calculation and compared the weighted average cost to the
average purchase price of invoices;
• Held discussion with management, including operational
personnel, to understand and corroborate the assumption
applied in valuation;
• Evaluated key assumption made by management that current
shrinkage levels were consistent with historical levels;
• On a sample basis we tested the net realizable value of inventory
lines with recent selling prices of finished goods wherein these
raw materials are used;
• We tested the inventory valuation sheet and cost added to
inventory for such valuation.
We also made enquiries with the management and considered the
results of our testing above to determine whether any specific write
downs were required.
From the procedures performed we have no matters to report.

Other Information
The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditors' 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's management and the 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, the financial performance, the changes
in equity and the 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 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, the Management and the 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
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 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 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 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 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.
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
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.
