Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of UFlex Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, 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, 2024, 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 ‘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 Act 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 obtained by us is su_icient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the note 41 of the financial statements in respect of additions made by the Income Tax Department, consequent to search proceedings conducted on the Company under Section 132 (1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the month of February 2023, and an order passed in May 2024 for the Assessment Year 2020-21. As the proceedings under the aforesaid section for the relevant years are pending, the impact of the matter on the financial statements, is currently unascertainable.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 for the current year. 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.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Revenue including receivables

The Company derives its revenues from multiple products and services including flexible packaging activities, engineering and related activities etc. Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:
Assessed the appropriateness of the Company?s revenue recognition accounting policies in compliance with Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when the control has been transferred subject to the terms with the customers, which generally coincides with dispatch of goods to customers.. Verified the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over the revenue process as regard the timing, occurrence and value of the revenue recognised.
Revenue, from the service contract is recognized when the related services are performed Verified sales transaction testing based on a representative sample to ensure that the related revenues are recorded appropriately taking into consideration the terms and conditions for the sale orders, including the shipping terms, etc. Also performed procedures regarding the sales returns, trade discounts, rate differences, volume rebates and other factors, having bearing on the revenue recognition.
Revenue including receivables is identified as a key audit area due to the significance as regards the time and e_ortsinassessingtheappropriateness of revenue recognition covering the aspects of completeness, occurrence, cut off, rights and obligations, etc. Performed sales cut off procedures by matching dispatches/ deliveries occurring around the year end to support the documentation to establish that sales are properly recorded in the correct period.
Verified the customers with overdue receivables with marginal or no movement to determine the level of provisioning required in the receivable.
Verified the adequacy of disclosure relating to revenue in the financial statements in compliance with Ind AS 115.

Capitalisation of property, plant and equipment including capital work in progress (CWIP) (refer note 2A and 49)

The Company continues to invest in significant capital projects with capital expenditure during the current year. Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:
Assessed the appropriateness of the Company?s accounting policies with respect to ‘Property plant and equipment? in compliance with Ind AS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment".
The significant level of capital expenditure requires consideration of the determination of the timing of when the asset is ready for its intended use by the management and the nature of costs incurred to ensure that capitalisation of property, plant and equipment meets the specific recognition criteria in Ind AS 16, ‘Property, Plant and Equipment?, specifically in relation to assets constructed/installed by the Company and the direct incidental cost capitalised. Understood and verified the design, implementation and operating e_ectiveness of controls in respect of the timing and amounts capitalised.
Performed substantive procedures to verify the validity of amounts capitalised and evaluating whether assets capitalised meet the recognition criteria set out in Ind AS 16.
Verified on sample basis the costs capitalised during the year focusing on items significant due to their amount or nature, to check whether such costs had been appropriately capitalised under the correct asset category.
Verified the timing of the capitalisation in terms of criteria met by the Company for the intended use of the Property, Plant and Equipment.
Further, capitalisation of property, plant and equipment including CWIP has a material impact, and also involves greater amount of subjectivity and estimation uncertainty as a result of the long-term nature and complexity of the specific capital projects and hence identified as Key Audit Matter. Verified that capitalisation of assets ceased when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company.
Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in compliance with the requirements of Ind AS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment".

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

The Company?s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report 2023-24 of the Company but does not include the standalone and consolidated 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial

Statements

The Company?s 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 Company?s 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 Company?s financial reporting process.

Auditor?s 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 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:

• 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 su_icient 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 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 statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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 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 outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Hence, the provisions stated in Paragraph 3(xvii) of the Order are not applicable to the Company. (xviii)There has been no resignation of the statutory auditors during the year. Hence, the provisions stated in Paragraph 3(xviii) of the Order are not applicable to the Company.

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.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Standalone Financial Statements

A Companys internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone

Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Companys internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements 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 Standalone 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 standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Standalone Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
