We have audited the Financial Statements of ASI Industries
Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended,
and notes to the Financial Statements, including a 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 the information required by the Companies Act, 2013(“the
Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view
in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, the profit and total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and
the Rules there under, 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
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and
Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the Annual Report but
does not include the financial 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
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the
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 the 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 Financial Statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the
Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring
the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, the Board of Directors
are 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements
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, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always
detect 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 users taken on
the basis of these Financial Statements.
We give in “Annexure A” a detailed description of Auditor's
responsibilities for Audit of the Financial Statements.
