Auditor Report of Sharp India Ltd.

Mar 31, 2023

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF SHARP INDIA LIMITED
Report on the audit of the financial statements

Qualified Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Sharp
India Limited (‘the Company’), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at March 31,2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the
Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial statements including a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.

2. 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 of qualified opinion section of our report,
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, 2023, and its net losses and other
comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity
for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified opinion

3. We draw your attention to Note No. 33 to the financial statements
which states that the Company has ceased business operations
from the financial year ended March 31, 2016 and incurred net
loss of Rs. 1574.80 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2023 and
accumulated losses aggregate to Rs. 12,943.94 Lakhs as of March
31,2023. There is no production of LED TVs from April, 2015 and
of Air Conditioners since June, 2015 onwards in the absence of any
orders. There is a significant doubt whether the company would be
able to continue as a going concern due to material uncertainties
in respect of commencement of production and other operations
pertaining to it, mobilisation of human and other resources, revival
of sales and services, establishing supply chain and also on
account of current economic scenario. However, the management
considers the going concern assumption as appropriate in view of
certain service agreements with group companies and continued
financial and operational support from holding company, though
it may take longer duration than anticipated for the revival of
operations of the Company.

Significant time has been elapsed after cessation of the production
activity and in the absence of Board approved business plan and
scheme of revival, the impact on the financial statements which
have been prepared by the management under going concern
assumption, cannot be ascertained.

4. We conducted our audit 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 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
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.

Emphasis of Matters

5. We draw attention Note No. 36 to the financial statements which
states that there was a delay in the submission of results of

the Company for quarter and financial year ended March 31,
2022, quarter ended June 30, 2022, quarter and half year ended
September 30, 2022, for the quarter and financial year ended
March 31, 2023 and subsequent quarters. This also resulted in
attracting the consequential penalty under SEBI Regulations and
shifting of the scrip of the Company by stock exchange in Z group
(non-compliant companies) and freezing the shareholding of the
promoters.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Key audit matters

6. 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. Except for the matters described in the
Basis for Qualified Opinion section, we have determined that there
are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s
Report thereon

7. The Company’s 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 financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s
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 in the 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 and take appropriate
action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with

Governance for the Financial Statements

8. The accompanying financial statements have been approved
by the Company’s Board of Directors. 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
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.

9. 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.

10. Those Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

11. 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 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.

12. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing,
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 Act, we
are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether
the Company has adequate internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements 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;

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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 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.

Other Matter:

16. The comparative financial statements for the year ended March
31, 2022 have been audited by the erstwhile statutory auditors,
Price Waterhouse, Chartered Accountants LLP (Firm Regn. No.:
0125754N/N500016) who have expressed their qualified opinion
vide report dated November 23, 2022.

Our opinion on the Financial Statements and our report on the
Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below is not modified
in respect of the above matter with respect to our reliance on the
work done by the predecessor auditors.

Annexure A to Independent Auditors’ Report

Referred to in paragraph 11(f) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date to the members of Sharp India Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Sharp India Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteriae stablished by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated inthe Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). 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, including adherence to company’s policies, 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 Act.

Auditors’ Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting 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”) and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. 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.

4. 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

5. 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

6. 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 policiesand 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reason able assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material mis statements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of theinternal 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

8. In our opinion, 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 ofIndia.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

To the Members of Sharp India Limited

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Sharp India Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company''s Management 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, including adherence to the Company''s policies, 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.

Auditor''s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting 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") and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 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.

Inherent 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, 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, 2016, 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.
