AUDITOR'S REPORT

Year End :2026-03 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of Cera Sanitaryware Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, 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 financial statements, including a summary
of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as “the financial
statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
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, 2026, its profit including
other comprehensive income, its changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as 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 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 audit opinion on the 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
financial statements for the financial year ended March
31, 2026. 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. 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 Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the 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 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
financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

A) Allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL)

As at 31st March 2026, the carrying amount of Trade
Receivables aggregated Rs. 27386.93 Lakhs (net of
Expected credit loss of Rs. 1538.88 Lakhs) constituting
a significant component of the Company’s Total Assets.
The allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on such
Trade Receivables is a critical estimate involving greater
level of management judgement.

Our Audit procedures related to the allowance for expected
credit losses for trade receivables included the following,
among others:

• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the:

Ý Development of the methodology and model
for the allowance for credit losses, including
consideration of the current and estimated future
economic conditions;

Ý Completeness and accuracy of information used in
the estimation of probability of default; and

Ý Computation of the allowance for credit losses.

Expected Credit Losses in respect of trade receivables
aggregating to Rs. 1538.88 lakhs up to 31st March, 2026
(including Rs. 179.17 Lakhs during the year). These are
based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect
current and estimated future economic conditions. The
Company considered current and anticipated future
economic conditions relating to entities the Company
deals with. In calculating expected credit loss, the
Company has also considered credibility of its customers
to estimate the probability of default in future. We
identified allowance for credit losses as a key audit matter
because the Company exercises significant judgement in

with them and other credit related information used in
estimating the probability of default by comparing them
to external and internal source of information.

We carried out detailed analysis of balances of trade
receivables (i) where no legal actions have been taken so

any, and the reasons thereof.

Information Other than the Financial Statements
and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Annual report,
but does not include the 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 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 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 for the
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 financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified
under section 133 of the Act read with [the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended].
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 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 financial statements 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 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 management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s 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 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
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 on whether the Company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to 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 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 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 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
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 for the
financial year ended March 31, 2026 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.
