Ý provision for sales returns, where the customer has the rightto return the goods to the Company; and
Ý compensation (discounts) offered by the customers to theultimate consumers at the behest of the Company.
The matter has been determined to be a key audit matter in viewof the involvement of significant estimates by the management.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditingwill always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing,we exercise professional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:-
Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe standalone financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management and Board of Directors.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of thestandalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factorsin (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating theresults of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including any significant deficienciesin internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationshipsand other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
