We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of AMS POLYMERS LIMITED (Formerly, SAI MOHAUTO LINKS LIMITED) (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profitand Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), and Statement of changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flowsfor the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies andother explanatory information for the year then ended (hereinafter referred to as the “Financial Statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, because of the significanceof the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion Section of our report, the aforesaid financial statements do notgive a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act readwith the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the company as at March 31, 2025, changes in equity and its of its cashflows for the year then ended.
For the paragraphs mentioned below, we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the mattersmentioned below, which may have a material and pervasive impact on the financial position of the Company for year endedon March 31, 2025.
1. The Company has not maintained a proper Fixed Asset Register and did not provide detailed records necessary forthe verification of property, plant, and equipment (PPE). In the absence of asset-wise records, informationregarding useful lives, methods, and supporting documentation for physical verification, we were unable to obtainsufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence, classification, and valuation of fixed assets asreported in the financial statements.
In accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment, an entity isrequired to maintain detailed records of each class of PPE, including historical cost, accumulated depreciation, andcarrying amount. IndAS-16 also mandates that depreciation be systematically allocated over the useful life of eachasset, which must be reviewed annually. Further, physical verification of assets is a critical internal control practiceto support their continued existence and condition.
Due to the absence of proper documentation and records, we were unable to evaluate whether the recognition andmeasurement principles as per Ind AS 16 have been appropriately applied. Consequently, we are unable todetermine whether any adjustments may be necessary in respect of PPE balances.
The potential impact of these limitations is considered material and pervasive to the financial statements.Accordingly, we have expressed an adverse opinion.
2. We were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence, condition, andvaluation of inventory (stock-in-hand) as at March 31, 2025. The management did not provide any report ofphysical verification or valuation of inventory as at the balance sheet date. In the absence of such documentation,we were unable to perform alternative audit procedures to verify the inventory quantities and valuation.
Inventories are a material component of the Company's financial statements. As per the accounting policiesdisclosed by the Company, inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value inaccordance with the principles laid down under Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 2 - Inventories. Due to thelack of audit evidence, we were unable to determine whether adjustments were necessary to the carrying amountof inventories, and consequently, to the cost of goods sold and profit for the year.
Accordingly, we believe that the possible effects of the undetermined adjustments arising from this matter arematerial and pervasive to the financial statements, and therefore, we have expressed an adverse opinion.
3. The Company has not provided ageing schedules for trade receivables and trade payables as at the balance sheetdate. Furthermore, no external confirmations were obtained from customers and suppliers to substantiate thesebalances. We also observed that certain trade receivables have been outstanding for periods exceeding one year.Despite the prolonged overdue status and uncertainty regarding their recoverability, the Company has notrecognised any provision for doubtful debts.
In accordance with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 109 - Financial Instruments, an entityis required to assess at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence of impairment of financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost, including trade receivables. Additionally, Ind AS 107 - Financial Instruments,Disclosures mandates adequate disclosure of credit risk and ageing of financial assets. The Company has notcomplied with these requirements. Further, the Company has not disclosed information relating to dues to Micro,Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) as required under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises DevelopmentAct, 2006.
In the absence of ageing schedules, disclosure of MSME dues, balance confirmations, and an appropriateassessment of expected credit losses, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to verifythe completeness, existence, accuracy, and valuation of trade receivables and trade payables as reported in thefinancial statements.
Accordingly, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments may be required in respect of these balances.The potential impact of these limitations is considered material and pervasive to the financial statements. As aresult, we have expressed an adverse opinion.
4. The Company has not made any provision for gratuity as required under Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 19 -Employee Benefits, nor has it disclosed the actuarial valuation, assumptions, or other related disclosures mandatedby the Standard. This constitutes a non-compliance with the applicable financial reporting framework. In theabsence of such provision and disclosure, the employee benefit obligations are understated, and the liabilities andexpenses for the year are not fairly presented. The impact of this non-compliance is material and pervasive to thefinancial statements. Accordingly, we have expressed an adverse opinion.
5. During the course of our audit, we observed that the Company has not complied with the provisions of Section 177and Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, in respect of related party transactions. The Company has neithermaintained a proper register of contracts or arrangements in which directors are interested, as required underSection 189, nor obtained prior approval or necessary disclosures from the Audit Committee and the Board ofDirectors, wherever applicable, for transactions with related parties.
Further, there was a lack of appropriate documentation and supporting evidence to substantiate the nature, terms,and arm's length basis of such related party transactions. The absence of proper records and approvals not onlyconstitutes a violation of the statutory requirements but also raises significant concerns over governance,transparency, and the potential risk of misstatement or misappropriation.
In view of the above, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the completeness,accuracy, and disclosure of related party transactions in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 24 -Related Party Disclosures. This non-compliance is considered material and pervasive to the financial statements,particularly in the context of related party balances and transactions. Accordingly, we have expressed an adverseopinion on the financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the CompaniesAct, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the Codeof Ethics and provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements inIndia under the Companies Act, 2013, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code ofEthics and the requirements under the Companies act, 2013. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse opinion.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,2013 (“theAct”) with respect to the preparation of these 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 withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed underSection 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2015.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to doso.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the entity's Financial Statements in accordance with Standards on Auditing andto issue an auditor's report. However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion paragr aph of ourreport, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide an opinion on these Financial Statements.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards onAuditing (“SAs”) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also;
• Identify and assess the risks 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 andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraudis 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 areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit 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 requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto 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 mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe 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 adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
