We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Mirza International Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2026, 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 a summary of the material 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 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, the loss and total comprehensive loss, 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 specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
Scheme of Amalgamation of RTS Fashion Limited with the Company
We draw attention to Note 40 of the standalone financial statements, which describes the Scheme of Amalgamation of RTS Fashion Limited (“RTS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into Mirza International Limited (“the
Company”), pursuant to Sections 230, 232 and 234 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the applicable rules framed thereunder and the Foreign Exchange Management (Cross Border Merger) Regulations, 2018.
The Scheme was sanctioned by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Allahabad Bench, Prayagraj vide Order dated April 23, 2026 [Company Application (CAA) No. 20/ALD of 2025], with an Appointed Date of April 1, 2025. Pursuant to the Scheme becoming effective, all assets, liabilities, rights, obligations and employees of RTS stand transferred to and vested in the Company with effect from the Appointed Date, and RTS stands dissolved without being wound up.
Consequent to the amalgamation, the investment held by the Company in RTS stands cancelled and Mirza (UK) Limited, which was earlier a step-down wholly owned subsidiary through RTS, has become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with effect from the Appointed Date.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Search Proceedings by the Income Tax Department
A search and seizure operation under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was conducted during the year by the Income Tax Department at certain premises of the Company. During the course of the proceedings, cash, documents and certain electronic records were seized by the authorities. The matter involves significant management judgement with respect to assessment of potential financial implications, identification of contingent liabilities, and adequacy of disclosures in the standalone financial statements.
Considering the significance of the matter, the extent of management judgement involved, and the assessment of disclosures and related financial implications arising from the ongoing proceedings, the same has been considered as a Key Audit Matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures in relation to the above matter included, among others:
• obtaining an understanding of the nature and status of the search proceedings from the management;
• examining relevant documents made available to us, including copies of Panchnamas and notices, where applicable;
• evaluating the management's assessment of the potential impact of the proceedings on the standalone financial statements;
• reviewing legal opinions and representations obtained by the management, where made available to us;
• assessing the adequacy and appropriateness of disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting standards; and
• obtaining written representations from the management regarding completeness of disclosures and assessment of liabilities/contingencies arising from the proceedings.
Based on the audit procedures performed and the audit evidence obtained, we found the disclosures made by the management in the standalone financial statements in respect of the aforesaid matter to be appropriate in the circumstances.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including disclosures relating to Scheme of Amalgamation and Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. These reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this audit 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 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.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are 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, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other 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 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.
The Board of Directors are 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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• I dentify 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 controls 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
