We have audited the accompanying Ind AS Financial Statements of ELEGANT FLORICULTURE &
AGROTECH (INDIA) LIMITED (here in after referred to as “the Company”), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit & Loss (including other comprehensive income)
,Statement of Cash flows and Statement of Change in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the
standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information (collectively referred to as “standalone 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 (here in after referred
to as “the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting
Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015, as amended (“Ind AS”) and the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025.
b) In the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit including comprehensive income for
the year ended on that date; and
c) In the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
d) In the case of Statement of Change in Equity, change in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS 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 Responsibility 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the standalone Ind AS financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made 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 sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Emphasis of Opinion
We draw attention to the fact that the position of Company Secretary remained vacant as at the balance sheet
date. Management has informed us that it is in the process of identifying and appointing a suitable candidate.
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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the financial statement as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
As disclosed in Note to Accounts, the Company has granted significant loans and advances. Evaluating their
recoverability involves judgment regarding borrower creditworthiness, security coverage, and the risk of
default. This was significant due to the size of the balances and the estimation involved in assessing potential
credit losses.
The company has recognised interest income in the statement of profit and loss that has not been realised in
cash during the reporting period. This recognition is in accordance with the company’s revenue recognition
policy, whereby interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis, based on the outstanding balance
and the applicable interest rate. The recognition is supported by management’s assessment of the underlying
contractual terms and the expected recoverability of the interest.
We also draw your attention to the fact that, during the year ended March 31 2025, the Company’s interest
income exceeded its revenue from operations. As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, this may
require the Company to register as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC).
Other Information
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the standalone Ind
AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Other information is expected to be made available
to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 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
statement 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 the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5)
of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of the standalone Ind AS Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, 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, read with Rule 7 of The Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 the 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 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 Board of Directors 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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.
• Obtained 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
standalone Ind AS 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 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 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 Ind AS financial statements
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone Ind AS financial statements that, individually
or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the
standalone 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 standalone 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 financial statements of the current period 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.
