Year End :2025-03 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of
Liberty Shoes Limited ("the Company"), which comprises
the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of
Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the
Statement of Cash Flowsand the Statement of Changes in
Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information
(hereinafter referred to as "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, 2025, the profit and total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified
under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). 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 (ICAI) together with the
independence requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the 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 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 of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in

separate opinion on these matters. We have

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

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for
the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the
Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report
including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does
not include the financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon.

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 during
the course of our 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 and we
have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read other information, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance and take appropriate actions, if
required.

Emphasis on Matters

Without qualifying our opinion, your attention is
invited to:

a) We draw attention to Note No. 54 of the
accompanying financial statements, which describes
the Company's arrangements with M/s Liberty
Footwear Co., M/s Liberty Enterprises, and M/s
Liberty Group Marketing Division, partnership firms in
which some of the directors are also interested as
partners, under which it holds rights for usage of
certain tangible and intangible assets are set to expire

on March 31,2028. The management has represented
that, based on understandings with certain partners,
and considering the current status of ongoing
arbitration proceedings as described in the said note,
the Company expects to either acquire the same or
renew the existing arrangements or implement
alternative strategies to ensure continuity of
operations. Accordingly, no adjustments have been
made to the accompanying financial statements in
this regard. Our opinion is not modified in respect
of this matter.

b) We draw attention to Note No. 46 of the
accompanying financial statements, which describes
that during the year, the Company experienced delays
in payments to certain Micro and Small Enterprises
(MSEs) as governed by the provisions of Section 15 of
the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development
(MSMED) Act, 2006. Consequently, an interest liability
amounting to ^26.21 lakhs has arisen under Section 16

of the MSMED Act. The Company has duly recognized
this liability in its books of account, although the
payment is pending as at the balance sheet date.The
management has explained that these delays were due
to certain vendors not timely declaring their MSME
status, which led to inadvertent breaches of the
statutory payment timeline. The Company is currently
in the process of strengthening its internal controls to
ensure timely and accurate updates to its vendor
database, particularly with regard to registration status
on the UDYAM portal.

Our opinion is not qualified on the above matters.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial
Statements

The Company's 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 and
presentation of these Ind-ASfinancial 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 Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind-AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the
Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India.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 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.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility

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 Standards on Auditing
(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 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.

• 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 of 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.
