Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the standalone financial statements of LIBAS CONSUMER PRODUCTS LIMITED (formerly known as LIBAS DESIGNS LIMITED) (âthe Companyâ) having CIN No L18101MH2004PLC149489, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March, 2025, and the statement of Profit and Loss, (statement of changes in equity) and statement of cash flows for the year ended as on 31st March, 2025 , and notes to the 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, except for the effects of the matters described in the basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph below, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by 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 31st March, 2025, and profit (changes in equity) and its cash flows for the year ended on 31st March, 2025.
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 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 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 qualified opinion on the financial statement.
Basis for Qualified Opinion on the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2025
⢠Significant deficiencies in Inventory Management: During the course of our audit, we observed significant deficiencies in the Companyâs inventory management system. In our opinion, the inventory is overstated by ?1,187.30 lakhs, comprising obsolete stock of ?700.84 lakhs, overvaluation of ?167.94 lakhs, and stock shortages of ^318.52 lakhs. Consequently, the profit for the period is also overstated by the same amount.
⢠Loan agreement not obtained: Loan agreements for Short Term Loans and Advances given to various parties (Asset) for a total amount of Rs 884.27 lakhs were not provided. Out of these loans given, certain partiesâ amounting Rs, 298.59 lakhs, there have been no receipts from these parties in last 2 financial years. In the absence of any agreement and balance confirmations from these parties and in view of no receipts from these parties in past 2 years, we are of the opinion that loans and advances aggregating Rs 298.59 lakhs may not be recoverable by the company. Assets are over stated in the balance sheet to this extent.
⢠Interest on Loans given not recognized: Interest income on the loans aggregating to Rs 632.92 lacs, given by the company has not been recognized in the books. In the absence of any loan agreement, we are unable to quantify the interest income not booked by the company. Interest income of Rs 12.71 lacs has been booked against loans amounting to 172.35 lacs, however there has not been any realization of this interest during the year and basis of income booked is not provided.
⢠Doubtful Recoverability of Long-Outstanding Trade Receivables: As at the balance sheet date, the Company is carrying trade receivables aggregating to ?198.11 lakhs which have remained outstanding without any recovery or movement for a period exceeding two financial years. In the absence of subsequent collections, corroborative evidence, or adequate impairment assessment, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the recoverability of these receivables. In our view, the recoverability of these balances is doubtful, and no provision has been recognized in the financial statements. Consequently, the carrying value of trade receivables and the profit for the year are overstated to this extent.
⢠Unsubstantiated Trade Payables: The Company has reported trade payables amounting to ?176.64 lakhs, which have not exhibited any movement or settlement for over two financial years. We were not provided with sufficient documentation, including confirmations or other supporting evidence, to validate the existence and completeness of these liabilities. As a result, we are unable to determine the accuracy and completeness of the trade payables reported in the financial statements.
⢠Discrepancy in Inventory Valuation between Financial Records and Stock Statement Submitted to Bank: During the course of audit, it was noted that the value of inventory reported in the financial statements as on 31st March 2025 amounts to ?2196.99 Lacs as per the companyâs books (Tally and financials). However, the stock statement submitted to the bank for the same date reflects a value of ?2028.00 lacs. This results in a discrepancy of ?168.99 lacs between the two reported figures. In the absence of reconciliatory documentation or justification for the differential valuation, we are unable to verify the accuracy and completeness of the inventory records. Such a significant difference raises concerns over the reliability of the inventory valuation presented in the financial statements and may impact the true and fair view of the financial position of the company
⢠Internal Control Processes are not commensurate with the size of the business.
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. We have not found any such matters related to the audit of this standalone financial statement which are to be reported here.
1. The Company has recognized a provision towards gratuity obligations in the financial statements, which has been determined based on managementâs internal estimates. However, the Company has not obtained an actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability as required under the principles of Ind AS 19 - Employee Benefits. In the absence of an actuarial valuation, we are unable to determine the appropriateness and completeness of the gratuity provision recognized as at the reporting date. Consequently, we are unable to assess whether any adjustments may be required to the financial statements in this regard.
2. We draw attention to Note âlâ of the financial statements, which describes that a demand order amounting to ?124.39 lakhs under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was received by the Company on February 2, 2025. The Company has filed an appeal against the said demand; however, no provision has been recognized in the financial statements for this liability, as management believes the demand is not tenable. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
3. We draw attention to Note no âmâ to the financial statements, which describes a fire incident that occurred at one of the Companyâs retail outlets subsequent to the balance sheet date. As stated in the note, the management has assessed that the incident does not affect the conditions existing as at March 31, 2025, and accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Matters
Other matters are those matters other than those that are presented or disclosed in the financial statements that, in our opinion is relevant to userâs understanding of the audit. Other matters may be noted as below:
⢠GST Annual Return 9 and 9C FY 2022-23 is not filed till date of this report.
⢠We draw attention to the note no. âf of the standalone financial results wherein the undisputed income tax
liability of Rs.2.91 Lakhs for FY 2017-18 are unpaid as on date of this report.
⢠We draw attention to the note no. âeâ of the standalone financial results wherein the undisputed tax liability in
relation to TDS on purchase for the F.Y. 2022-23 unpaid as on date amounting to Rs 1.32 Lakhs.
⢠We draw attention to the note no. âgâ to âj â of the standalone financial results wherein the undisputed tax liability

o Professional Tax for Rs 2.78 lakhs o TCS Collected from parties for Rs 1.50 lakhs o GST Liability for Rs 2.79 lakhs o TDS on sales for Rs 0.82 lakhs.
⢠We draw attention to the note no. âkâ of the standalone financial results wherein the legal cases filed against the company pending as on date of this report.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 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 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.
Those 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 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 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.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠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.
⢠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 auditorâs 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.

Mar 31, 2024
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial results of Libas Consumer Products Limited (Formally known as Libas Designs Limited) for the quarter and year ended on 31st March, 2024 and for the year to date period from 01st April, 2023 to 31st March, 2024 attached herewith being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the âListing Regulationsâ) including relevant circulars issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) from time to time.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us these standalone financial results:
i. Presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
ii. Give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement Principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act") read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net profit/loss and other Comprehensive income and other financial information for the quarter ended 31st March, 2024 as well as the year to date results for the period from 1st April, 2023 to 31st March, 2024.
With respect to the standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, based on our review conducted as stated in paragraph (b) of Auditorâs responsibilities section below, except for the information mentioned in the "Basis for Qualified Opinionâ paragraph, nothing has observed which has drawn our attention that causes us to believe that the standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, is not prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement and principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed or it may contains any material misstatement.
⢠The process of inventory management adopted by the company is not satisfactory and does not facilitate identification of old or obsolete stock. The company is holding very old stocks, we are unable to verify the ageing of stocks due to lack of relevant data, however these stocks are over 3-4 years old which we believe may not be saleable. Total value of such stock of Garment and Fabric, not written off in our estimation is Rs 1014.84 Lakhs, stocks to this extent is overstated in the balance sheet and Profits to this extent is overstated in the books.
⢠Loan agreements for Short Term Loans and Advances given to various parties for a total amount of Rs 1509.38 lakhs were not provided. Out of these loans given, certain partiesâ amounting Rs, 483.06 lakhs, balances have not changed and there has been no receipts from these parties in last 2 financial years. . In the absence of any agreement and balance confirmations from these parties and in view of no receipts from these parties in past 2 years, we are of the opinion that loans and advances aggregating Rs 483.06 lakhs may not be recoverable by the company.
⢠Management has written off Rs. 15.88 lakhs of receivables during the current financial year. Out of the remaining debtors, debtors amounting to Rs 149.14 lakhs has nil recoveries or any movement in last over 2 financial years. In our opinion, recoverability of these receivables appears doubtful. Profit to this extent is overstated in the books.
⢠Management has written off Sundry Creditors amounting to Rs. 701.04 lakhs in the current financial year as those amounts were pending for over 3 years. Management has decided that these amounts are not payable and the board has decided to write off these payables. For the remaining creditors amounting to Rs 384.18 lakhs, contact details and address of parties are not provided for independent Balance confirmations by us. We are unable to establish these liabilities in the absence of relevant documents and confirmations.
⢠Internal Control Processes are not commensurate with the size of the business.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of these financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit/loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
