We have audited the Standalone financial statements of EPSOM Properties Limited
(“the company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, the Statement
of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement
of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes 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
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, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true
and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its loss including other
comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on
that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 Companies Act, 2013 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 opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements of the current period.
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.
Other Information
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 standalone 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 will 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 identified above when it becomes available 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.
Managements’ and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities 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, 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 Standalone Financial Statements 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, 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 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 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 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 controls.
• 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 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 and Board
of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and Board of Directors use of
the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial
statements 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 financial year ended March 31, 2025, 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.
