Revenue of the Company includes sale of products toits customers.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on satisfactionof performance obligations as per the terms of thecontract with customers. This requires detailed analysisof each contract / customer purchase order regardingtiming of revenue recognition.
We have identified revenue recognition on sale ofproducts during the year and at the year-end as a keyaudit matter as revenue is a key performance indicatorand there is a risk that revenue can be misstated orrecognised before transfer of control.

•
Testing of revenue recognized near the year-end, through statistical sampling, to verifythat only revenue pertaining to current year isrecognized based on underlying documentsalong with terms and conditions set out incustomer contracts;

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the standalone financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal controlrelevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under Section 143(3X0 of theAct, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequateinternal financial controls with reference tofinancial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of theManagement and Board of Directors use of thegoing concern basis of accounting in preparationof standalone financial statements and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report tothe related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the dateof our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether thestandalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a mannerthat achieves fair presentation.

We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships andother matters that may reasonably be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current periodand are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.
