AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2025-03 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lords Chloro Alkali Limited ("the
Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the
Statement of Cash Flows 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025,
and its profit including other comprehensive income, 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) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the
Auditors' 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 ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
made there under, 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.

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 forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matter
described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

Borrowings

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a

Our audit procedures in respect of this area

borrowing liability of Rs.12624.89 Lakhs
representing 65.01 % of total liabilities.
Borrowings as a percentage of the total assets
size of the Company is 33.59% as at March 31,
2025.

The borrowings are under agreements with
terms and conditions detailed in Note No. 17 of
the financial statements.

included:

• We read the agreements between the
Company and its financiers to
understand the terms associated with
the facilities.

• We obtained confirmations from the
Company's banks/financial institutions
to confirm all significant borrowings,

Given the size of the borrowings balance and

including amounts, tenure and

the importance of the capital structure for
continued growth, the accounting for the
Company's borrowings is considered a key
audit matter.

conditions.

• Where debt is regarded as non-current,
we tested whether the Company has
the unconditional right to defer
payment such that there were no
repayments required within 12 months
from the balance Sheet date.

• We further considered whether the
disclosures related to the borrowings in
the financial statements are appropriate
in all material respects.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors' 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 Annual Report, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditors' report.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available 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.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

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 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), changes in
equity and cash flows 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. 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 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, the 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 the 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 also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' 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
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 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 risk 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 auditors' 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 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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.
