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 standalone financial statements of Orient Ceratech Limited (“the Company”) which
comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March 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 standalone financial
statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter
referred to as “the standalone financial statements”).

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 (“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 the other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2025, 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 standalone 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
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 (“the ICAI”)
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone 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 opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

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

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

1. Advance given to mining contractors pending adjust

The Company extracts raw bauxite from its mines
which are taken on lease. The company get the raw
bauxite extracted through various sub-contractors
which includes extraction, sizing, sorting, truck
loading activities, etc. at various mines.

The Company accounts for the inventories of raw
bauxite in the books when all the activities of the
sub-contractors get completed and material is readily
usable.

As at March 31, 2025, the extracted stock of raw
bauxite which remain to be sorted and weighment
thereof is not recorded in the books.

Against the contracted activities, the Company has
outstanding advance of Rs. 807.51 lacs as at reporting
date paid to sub-contractors towards various activities
at mines.

Treatment of amount paid to sub-contractor as an
advance pending adjustment, was determined to be
key matter in our audit of the standalone financial
statements.

• We have reviewed the Company’s internal control as regards
accounting of advance to sub-contractors and accounting of
purchase of material.

• As per contractors’ confirmation and management
representation, at the reporting year end, as mining activities
are in progress and hence, the amount paid to the contractors
are treated as advances since the mining services obligations
are not yet completed.

• We have also verified the amount of advance settled during
the year based on receipt of raw bauxite and details of
additional advance paid during the year.

Information Other than the Standalone 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 Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Management Discussion
and Analysis, Corporate Governance Report, Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the standalone financial
statements and auditor’s report thereon. The Board’s Report and other information are 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 do 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 the other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the aforesaid reports and information, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone 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 standalone 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 Ind AS and 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 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concerns 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 also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibility 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 high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 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 misstatements 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 the 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 the 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 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 disclosure, 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 standalone 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.
