We have audited the Standalone financial statements of Bombay Wire Ropes Limited (âthe Companyâ), 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 financial
statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to
as âthe standalone financial statementsâ).
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 âActâ) 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, (âInd
ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2025, and its profit (including OCI) , 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 (âSAâs)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs
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 (âICAIâ 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.
Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note no. 22.1 in the Financial Statement, which states that the Company has discontinued its operations
and hence companyâs ability to continue as going concern has cease to exists. Accordingly, fundamental going concern
assumption of Going Concern has not been followed while preparation and presentation of Financial Statements.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditorsâ report thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is 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 auditorâs report thereon.
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 and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements 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.
Managements Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe
Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, (changes in equity) and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards 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
statement 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 Companyâs 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 Companyâs Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 Auditorâs 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:
1. 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.
2. Obtain 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 Auditorâs Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
5. 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 Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone Financial Statements
may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work an
in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone 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.
