We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Galaxy Surfactants Limited (the “Company”),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2026,
and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and
the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on
that date, and notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information.

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
31st March, 2026, its profit and other comprehensive income,
its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 (“SA”s)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibility 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 of the current period. 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 the matter described below
to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

We evaluated the reasonableness of the future cash

The fair value was determined based on the discounted
cash flow model. The result of the fair value measurement
depends to a large extent on the management's
assessment of future cash inflows and the discount rate
used, and is therefore subject to significant judgement.
Due to the estimation uncertainty of the valuation and

Sr. No. Key Audit Matter

Auditor’s Response

due to the fact that changes in assumptions could
affect the fair value of the financial assets, this matter
was of particular significance in the context of our audit.

• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we
evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation
methodology and (2) discount rate by:

o Testing the source information underlying the
determination of the discount rate and the
mathematical accuracy of the calculation.

o Developing a range of independent estimates
and comparing those to the discount rate
selected by management.


Information Other than the Financial Statements and
Auditor’s Report Thereon

• The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Director's Report including
Annexures to Director's Report, Management Discussion
and Analysis Report, Business Responsibility Report, but
does not include the consolidated financial statements,
standalone financial statements and our auditor's 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 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 report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.

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 of these standalone 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 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 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 intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company's Board of Directors is 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 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 financial 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 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.
