We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ADITYA ULTRA STEEL LIMITED, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025 and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, includinga summary of significant 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 financial statements give theinformation required by the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit and cash flows forthe year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements sectionof our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the code of ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act andthe rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the code of ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statementsof the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming ouropinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined no matter to be key audit matters for the year which are required to be communicated in our report.
The Company's board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report but does not include thefinancial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusionthereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during thecourse 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 toreport that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, readwith Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting the frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonableand prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of internal financial control, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give atrue 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 a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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, butis not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve 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 are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant 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 requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, wedetermine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
