We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of theAct (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditors 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 CharteredAccountants 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 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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, for the year ended March 31, 2025, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:
The Key Audit Matters |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Write-down of inventories |
|
As at March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of inventories amounted to # 1,30,062 thousands after considering inventory write-down of # 25,214 thousands. |
Our audit procedures included, among others, the following: |
?3Evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of the processes and internal controls that the Company has in relation to write-down of inventories; | |
Inventory write-down is an audit focus area since significant judgement is involved as regards the saleability/useability and Net Realisable Value (NRV). |
?3 We obtained inventory provision calculation for the Company and re-performed the calculation of the inventory provision as per the policy of the Company. |
[Refer Notes 28.1 and 15 to the standalone financial statements]. |
?3We performed testing on the Companys controls over inventory cycle count process. In testing these controls, we observed the inventory cycle count process on a sample basis, inspected the results of the inventory cycle count and confirmed variances were accounted for and approved by management. |
Emphasis of Matter
a. We draw attention to Note 36 to the standalone financial statements. As referred in the said Note, during the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has paid remuneration to its Managing Director as also to Whole Time Director which is in excess to the extent of # 4,349 thousands of the limits prescribed under Section 197 of the Act, and is considered as an item of expense under "Employee Benefits Expense" for the year.
In this regard, we have been informed that the Company shall obtain approval from the shareholders by way of a special resolution at the ensuing annual general meeting.
b. We draw attention to Note 37 to the standalone financial statements. As referred in the said Note, during the previous financial year ended March 31, 2024, the Company had paid remuneration to its Whole Time Director which was in excess to the extent of # 1,629 thousands of the limits prescribed under Section 197 of the Act, for which the Company has neither obtained any approval from the shareholders nor made any recovery of the said excess remuneration till the date of the Balance Sheet.
In this regard, we have been informed that since the date of the Balance Sheet, the Company has recovered such excess remuneration paid.
c. We draw attention to Note 38 to the standalone financial statements. As referred in the said Note, in accordance with Section 177(2) of the Act, those companies which are required to have an audit committee, are to have an audit committee consist of a minimum of three directors with independent directors forming a majority. The Audit Committee of the
Company was reconstituted on May 30, 2024, and as at the Balance Sheet date, the Committee comprised of four directors, including two independent directors. Such composition of the Audit Committee was not in compliance with requirements under Section 177(2) of theAct for the majority of the members of theAudit Committee to be independent directors.
We have been informed that since the date of the Balance Sheet, the Board of Directors, at their meeting held on April 28, 2025, have re-constituted the Audit Committee in compliance with the above requirement.
Liabilities/penalties, if any, on account of the said non-compliance are presently not ascertainable and therefore, have not been provided for in the standalone financial statements.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
OtherMatter
The comparative standalone financial statements/ financial information of the Company for the preceding year ended March 31, 2024, are based on the previously issued standalone financial statements as audited by the predecessor auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those standalone financial statements in their report dated May 30, 2024. We have relied upon these reports for the purpose of audit of the standalone financial statements.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Information Otherthan the Standalone Financial Statements andAuditors ReportThereon
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, Management Discussion and Analysis and Shareholders Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The aforesaid other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors 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, 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.
Managements Responsibility forthe Standalone 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 and presentation of these standalone 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021 specified under Section 133 of theAct, read with the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2021.
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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the 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 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 the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities fortheAudit 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 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 judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
?3 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.
?3 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 on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
?3 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
?3 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 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.
?3 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, make 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) evaluating 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 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.

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of PULZ ELECTRONICS LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2025, in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managements Responsibility forInternal Financial Controls
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 ("the Guidance Note") 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 the 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 theAct.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 with reference to financial statements. 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 with reference to financial statements were 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 with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
A companys internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 controls with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:
a. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

c. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 and to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control with reference to the standalone financial statements and such internal financial control with reference to the standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal controls over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in Guidance Note except stringent internal controls are generally required and periodical scrutiny of books of account and more particularly, outstanding dues of Trade Receivables and Trade Payables as also periodical physical verification of inventory and maintenance/ updation of records of Property, Plant and Equipment.

xix. According to the information and explanations given to us and on the basis of financial ratios, ageing and expected dates of realisation of financial assets and payment of financial liabilities, other information accompanying the financial statements and our knowledge of the Board of Directors and Management plans and based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that any material uncertainty exists as on the date of the audit report indicating that the Company is not capable of meeting its liabilities existing at the date of balance sheet as and when they fall due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date. We, however, state that this is not an assurance as to the future viability of the Company. We further state that our reporting is based on the facts up to the date of the audit report and we neither give any guarantee nor any assurance that all liabilities falling due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date, will get discharged by the Company as and when they fall due.
