Basis for opinion

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters (“KAM”) 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.
Description of Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
1. Revenue recognition as per Ind AS 115
Note - 22, (Revenue from operations) of the standalone financial statements.
The Company’s revenue is principally derived from sale of Industrial Gauging Systems.
In accordance with Ind AS 115, revenue from sale of goods is recognized when control of the products being sold is transferred to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled obligations. The performance obligations in the contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on terms of contract with the customer. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable after deduction of any trade/volume discounts and taxes or duties collected.
We identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter since revenue is significant to the standalone financial statements and is required to be recognized as per the requirements of applicable accounting framework.
Our Audit procedures included the following :
. The Company derives revenues from sales of Gauges as per the requirements of the clients and related services, maintenance thereof. The Company assesses the manufacturing and services promised in a contract and identifies the performance obligations in the contract. We evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of the relevant controls with respect to revenue recognition including those relating to cut off at year end;
. We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies in line with Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
. We performed substantive testing of revenue transactions, recorded during the year by testing the underlying documents which included goods dispatch notes, shipping documents and customer acknowledgments, as applicable;
. We tested manual journal entries posted to revenue to identify unusual items; We tested, on a sample basis, specific revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year end date including examination of credit notes issued after the year end to determine whether the revenue has been recognized int the appropriate financial period.
Based on the above stated procedures, no significant exceptions were noted in revenue recognition.
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussions and Analysis, Board’s Report including 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.
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 those charged with Governance for 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 in terms of the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 (herein after referred to as ‘the Act’) that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the respective Management and board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends 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 processes.
The amendments require every company that uses an accounting software to use such software that has a feature of audit trail which cannot be disabled. The management has a responsibility for effective implementation of the requirements prescribed by account rules i.e., every company which uses an accounting software for maintaining its books of account, should use only such accounting software which has the following features.

The management is primarily responsible for ensuring selection of the appropriate accounting software for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including those related to retention of audit logs).
Auditors’ 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 Auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always deduct 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 the users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintained 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 of those risks, and obtained 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 on resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of the internal control.
• Obtained and 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the Standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of the 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 in preparation of Standalone financial statements 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 Auditors’ 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 make cause the Company to ceases to continue as going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosure, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transaction 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 knowledge 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 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 disclosures 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.
