statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and
notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the material accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "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
March 31, 2025, its profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows
for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, as specified under sec¬
tion 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities 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 Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most signifi¬
cance 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.
For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that
context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communi¬
cated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibili¬
ties for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in rela¬
tion to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed

the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone

The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other informa¬
tion comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
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.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 ("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, state¬
ment of 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 sec¬
tion 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 Com¬
pany 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, the Board of Directors is responsible for
assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mat¬
ters 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.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial state¬
ments 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:
⢠Obtain an 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
Companies Act, 2013, 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 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 state¬
ments, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements repre¬
sent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, indi¬
vidually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowl¬
edgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantita¬
tive materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluat¬
ing 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 rela¬
tionships 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 mat¬
ters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the cur¬
rent 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 out¬
weigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

During the current financial year, the Company has recognized bad debts ? 16 Lakh The collectability of trade receivables is a key element of the working capital management, which is managed on an ongoing basis by management. The determination as to whether a trade receivable is collectable involves management judgement.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon

but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
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 the Standalone Financial Statements:
The Company5s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, statement of 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 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, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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 Company5 s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities 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 auditorâs 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:
⢠â¢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.
⢠â¢Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section I43(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠â¢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.
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 auditorâs 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.

Annexure - B To the Independent Auditor''s Report
(Referred to in paragraph 11 (f) with the heading ''Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements'' section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'')
1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Jost''s Engineering Company Limited (''the Company'') as of 31st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS
2. The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITY
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the ''Guidance Note'') and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
6. Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
OPINION
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated

prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Jost''s
Engineering Company Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at March 31, 2014, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and
Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the
Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September 2013
of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information
required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair
view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit for
the year ended on that date; and
