To the Members,
Shree Narmada Aluminium Industries Limited
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Shree Narmada Aluminium
Industries Limited., (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which comprise
of the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2023, the Statement of Profit & Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), statement of changes in equity and the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and including a summary of Significant Accounting
Policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to as Financial
Statements).
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations
given to us, except the matter specified in the below para under Basis of Qualified
Opinion, the aforesaid Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies
Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "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, 2023 and its profit/loss,
total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company is a sick Company under Sick Industrial Companies Act, 1985. The order of
the Honorable High Court of Gujarat dated May 16, 2008 for rehabilitation is under the
process of implementation. Meanwhile, a secured creditor filed an application before Debt
recovery Tribunal-lll (DRT-III) and the court receiver now having the possession of
property. Despite net worth of the Company fully eroded, the Management is of the opinion
that the Going Concern Assumption is sustainable and accordingly the accounts of the
Company have been prepared on going concern basis. (Refer Note l8 of financial
statements). This situation indicates that material uncertainty exists that may cast
significant doubt on Companys ability to continue as going concern. The financial
statement does not adequately disclose this matter.
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 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 together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the 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 Matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in
forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Boards
Report Including Annexure to Boards Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders
Information, but does not include the financial statements and our Auditors 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 statement 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 Companys 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 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 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 statement that give a true 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
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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial
reporting process.
Auditors 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 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 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 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 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, to the extent applicable
to the Company during the year 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 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 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 financial
statements including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of reasonably
knowledgeable user of the 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 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 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financials Statements under

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Shree
Narmada Aluminium Industries Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March,

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls:
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). 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 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 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 Act, 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
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 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 a basis for our audit opinion on the companys internal financial controls system
over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls 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. A 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 Financial 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 that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion:
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls
were operating effectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the assessment of essential
components of internal controls over financial reporting stated in the Guidance Note
carried out by the Company and representation to that effect is made available to us by
the Company.
