We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Flora Corporation
Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, 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 a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the
"standalone financial statements"). In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone 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 the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as
amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2024, and its profit, total comprehensive income, the
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, (SAs).Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the
Standalone 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 standalone
financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. This matter was
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 this matter. We
have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated 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 information included in the Director's Report, Management
Discussion and Analysis, Corporate Governance Report and Business Responsibility Report in
the Annual Report but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone
financial statements and our auditor's reports 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.
Management's Responsibility for the 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 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 Ind AS and
other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for
safeguarding 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the standalone
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 either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. That Board of
Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's 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 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 standalone 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 standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain 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 one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial 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 on whether the Company 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 disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of
accounting 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 auditor's 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 may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
Company to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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
knowledgeable 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 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 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 disclosure 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.
