TO THE MEMBERS OF YUVRAAJ HYGIENE PRODUCTS LIMITED REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OPINION
We have audited the accompanying Ind AS Financial Statements of Yuvraaj Hygiene Products Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31st, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss including the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended and notes to the Ind AS Financial Statements including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Ind AS Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS 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 31st, 2024 and its loss, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (Sas), as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Ind AS Financial Statements.
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS
We draw attention to following Notes to the Ind AS Financial Statements being matters pertaining to Yuvraaj Hygiene Products Limited requiring emphasis by us. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters:
1. Note no. 38 regarding Contingent Liabilities.
2. Note no. 45 in respect of Disclosure under Section 22 of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO GOING CONCERN
We draw attention to Note no. 2.1 of the Ind AS Financial Statements, which indicates that the Company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded. However, we were informed by the Management that the Company is in the process of identifying alternative business plans which in the opinion of the management will enable the Company to have profitability and to have a turnaround. The Company is also in the process of identifying strategic business partners and alternative business plans to improve the performance of the Company. The Companys ability to generate positive cash flows depends on the successful implementation of such alternative business plans. Further, the Company has obtained a letter from its promoter Mr. Vishal Kampani and Mrs. Benu Kampani indicating that the promoters will take necessary actions to organize for any shortfall in liquidity during the period of 12 months from the balance sheet date i.e. 31st March 2024. Based on the above and instances of financial support earlier provided by the promoters, the Company is confident of its ability to meet the funds requirement and to continue its business as a going concern and accordingly, the Company has prepared the aforesaid Ind AS Financial Statements on a going concern basis.
The above factors indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and in our opinion, it may have an adverse effect on the functioning of the Company.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS Financial Statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying Ind AS Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern: |
|
There is use of Going Concern Assumption basis of accounting in Ind AS Financial Statement but a material uncertainty exists. | We have analysed the management assumption of Going Concern basis of accounting and checked whether the fact has been appropriately disclosed in the Ind AS Financial Statement. Further, we have verified the letter obtained by the Company from its promoter Mr. Vishal Kampani and Mrs. Benu Kampani indicating that the promoters will take necessary actions to organize for any shortfall in liquidity in Company that may arise to meet its financial obligations during the period of 12 months from the balance sheet date. Also, we have commented on the same in our report under material uncertainty related to going concern paragraph above. |
(Refer to Note no. 2.1 of Ind AS Financial Statements). |
Revenue Recognition: |
|
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer. | Our audit procedures in respect of recognition of revenue included the following: |
Revenue is a key performance indicator for the Company. There is risk of revenue being fraudulently recognized before control has passed to the customer resulting from pressure to meet external investor/stake-holder expectations or to meet revenue targets set through performance incentive schemes. | Assessed the Companys accounting policies relating to revenue recognition and accrual for rebates and discounts by comparing them with the applicable accounting standards; |
Determining the accrual for rebates and discounts (variable consideration) involves estimation based on applicable promotional schemes and the potential claims expected to be raised by the customers. | Tested design and operating effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over recognition of revenue and estimating accrual for rebates and discounts; |
Accordingly, recognition of revenue based on the transfer of control to customers and estimation of accrual for variable consideration including rebates and discounts have been considered to be key audit matters. | Examined sales invoices and dispatch/shipping documents for selected samples of revenue to verify that revenue has been recognised only once control has passed to the customer; |
(Refer to Note no. 2.2 (l) of Ind AS Financial Statements). | Performed retrospective review to identify any management bias with respect to accrual for rebates and discounts; |
Provisions and Contingent Liabilities: |
|
There are a number of Indirect tax cases against the Company. High level of judgement is required in estimating the level of provisioning required. | We analyzed the current status of the Indirect tax cases. Our procedures in respect of tax matters included the following: |
(Refer to Note no. 38 of Ind AS Financial Statements). | Testing key controls over litigation, regulatory and tax procedures; |
Performing substantive procedures on the underlying calculations supporting the provisions (if any) recorded; | |
Where relevant, reading external legal opinions obtained by management; | |
Meeting and discussing with the management and reading relevant Company correspondence. | |
Assessing managements conclusions through understanding precedents set in similar cases; and | |
Based on the evidence obtained, and the related disclosures in Note no. 38 of the Ind AS Financial Statements, conclude that the disclosure was sufficient. |
OTHER MATTER:
Balances in respect of trade receivables, trade payables, deposits and loans and advances (debit or credit balances on whatever account) are subject to confirmation from respective parties. However, in the opinion of the Management all the Current Assets and Non-current Financial Assets are approximately of the value stated in books, if realized in the ordinary course of business. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITORS REPORT THEREON
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Directors Report including annexures to Directors Report Business Responsibility Report and Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include the Ind AS Financial Statements and our auditors report thereon (Other Information). The Other Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditors Report. Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read the Other Information and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 The Auditors responsibilities Relating to Other Information.
MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing these Ind AS 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 IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonable knowledgeable user of the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.

ANNEXURE "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON THE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under Report on Other Legal & Regulatory Requirements section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Ind AS Financial Statements under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Yuvraaj Hygiene Products Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
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 (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 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 Companies Act, 2013.
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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024, 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.

xix. We draw attention to Note no. 2.1 of the Ind AS Financial Statements, which indicates that the Company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded. However, we were informed by the Management that the Company is in the process of identifying alternative business plans which in the opinion of the management will enable the Company to have profitability and to have a turnaround. The Company is also in the process of identifying strategic business partners and alternative business plans to improve the performance of the Company. The Companys ability to generate positive cash flows depends on the successful implementation of such alternative business plans. Further, the Company has obtained a letter from its promoter Mr. Vishal Kampani and Mrs. Benu Kampani indicating that the promoters will take necessary actions to organize for any shortfall in liquidity during the period of 12 months from the balance sheet date. Based on the above and instances of financial support earlier provided by the promoters, the Company is confident of its ability to meet the funds requirement and to continue its business as a going concern and accordingly, the Company has prepared the aforesaid Ind AS Financial Statements on a going concern basis. The above factors indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and in our opinion, it may have an adverse effect on the functioning of the Company. However, 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 or will not get discharged by the Company as and when they fall due.
xx. Since the provisions of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 with regard to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are not applicable to the Company, hence, clause 3(xx) of the order is not applicable.
