Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of WINDSOR MACHINES LIMITED (the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other Comprehensive Income), the Cash flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

2. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards ("IND AS") specified under Section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at 31st March, 2023 and its profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis of Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the "Auditors 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 (the "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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

4. We draw attention to

a. Note No 43(a) to the results regarding inter-corporate loans given by company amounting to Rs 6 706 Lakhs in earlier years on which interest for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounting to Rs 1 031.27 Lakhs is overdue till date. To secure the exposure, the Company has created an equitable mortgage in the year 2019-20. The company had estimated the realizable value of the securities based upon independent valuers report dated June 30, 2020, using the effective interest rate of the company for an estimated realization period of 1.5 years from the year ended March 31, 2020. Due to pandemic and the lockdown imposed in between years, the company had extended the realization period by further three years, which will have no impact on realization value of security received. No Major development has been possible in current year, however, appropriate actions have been initiated for recovery/ settlement of the outstanding amount, shortfall, if any, will be accounted for in the year of final recovery/ settlement. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

b. Note No. 43(b) to the financial results regarding interest accrued on the inter-corporate loans given by the company in earlier years. Based on the uncertainty of ultimate collection of further interest, the company has not accrued interest income on the said inter corporate loan (net of provision) for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 amounting to Rs. 226.77 Lakhs, for year ended March 31,2023 amounting to Rs 919.67 Lakhs. The aggregate of interest not accrued for the period April 1, 2020 till March 31, 2023 amounts to Rs 2759.02 Lakhs. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

c. Note No. 44(a) to the financial results regarding capital advance given by the company in earlier years in relation to development of its immoveable property. However, in view of ongoing commercial negotiation with respect to fulfilment of the terms of the contract, management feels that the Company may have to enter into a compromise arrangement and pay compensation to the contractor. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the company had made provision of Rs. 300 Lakhs towards estimated compensation and not accrued interest for the year ended March 31, 2020. During the year, no major development has occurred and the company has continued the same judgement in relation to provision of Rs. 300 Lakhs. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter. d. Note No. 44(b) of the financial results regarding capital advance given by the company in earlier years in relation to development of its immoveable property. In view of the uncertainty regarding outcome of the ongoing negotiation, the company continued its judgement and did not accrue interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 amounting to Rs 103.56 Lakhs, for year ended March 31,2023 amounting to Rs 420 Lakhs. The aggregate of interest not accrued for the period April 1, 2020 till March 31, 2023 amounts to Rs 1260 Lakhs. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

5. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 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.

Revenue Recognition In view of the significance of the matter we have applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:

This requires detailed analysis of each contract /customer purchase order regarding timing of revenue recognition. Testing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over timing of recognition of revenue from sale of goods;
Inappropriate assessment could lead to a risk of revenue being recognized on sale of goods before the control in the goods is transferred to the customer. Performing testing on selected statistical samples of customer contracts. Checked terms and condition related to acceptance of goods, acknowledged delivery receipts and tested the transit time to deliver the goods and its revenue recognition. Our tests of details focused
Accordingly, timing of recognition of revenue is a key audit matter. on cut-off samples to verify only revenue pertaining to current year is recognized based on terms and conditions set out in sales contracts and delivery documents.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditors report thereon

7. The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report 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.

Responsibility of Management and those charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

8. The Companys 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 state of affairs (financial position), profit and loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the IndAS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder. 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.

9. In preparing the standalone financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Companys 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.

10. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibility

11. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, either due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors 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.

12. 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 managements 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 auditors 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. For 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 auditors 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.

Managements Responsibility for internal financial control:

The companys 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 (the "ICAI") Theses 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 companys 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.

Auditors Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of the Internal Financial Control over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the ICAI and the standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirement 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.

Our audit involves performing procedure 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 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 auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material, misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide basis for our audit opinion on the companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Control over Financial Reporting:

A companys 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. Companys 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 authorizations 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 companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Reporting:

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 the degree of conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
