to the Members of UFlex Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of
Uflex Limited ("the Company"), which comprise
the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Standalone Statement of Profit
and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone Cash Flow
Statement for the
year then ended, notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including material
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 March 31, 2025, its profit,
other comprehensive income, 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
(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 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 thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the ICAIs Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence obtained by us
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone
financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
Attention is drawn to the note no. 40 of the standalone financial
statements in respect of additions made by the Income
Tax Department in an order passed under section 143 (3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in May
2024 for the Assessment
Year (AY) 2020-21 and another order of AY 2021-22 passed during the current year,
including the impact of search
proceedings conducted on the Company under section 132 (1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in
the month of February
2023. The Company has preferred appeals against the above stated order of demands as
stated in the said note. As the
proceedings under the aforesaid section 132 (1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the
relevant AYs are pending/ going
on, the impact of the matter on the standalone financial statements, cannot be assessed,
is currently undetermined.
As stated in note, the management of the Company after considering all available
information, available judicial
pronouncement on the similar issues and facts as on date, is confident that no material
tax liability will devolve on the
Company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Companys annual report but does not
include the standalone and
consolidated 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with
the standalone financial
statements 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 Standalone
Financial Statements
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian 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 statement 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 Management and
Board of Directors are 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 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 Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors 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
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.
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 controls 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
standalone financial
statements 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
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.
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
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 for the current year 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.
Other Matter
The audited standalone financial statements of the Company for the year
ended March 31, 2024, were audited by one
of the predecessor joint auditor with Vijay Sehgal & Co. who have jointly expressed an
unmodified opinion vide their
reports dated May 28, 2024.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.

accounting principles. A Companys

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