We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Stanley Lifestyles Limited (the âCompany"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2025, and the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of
Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of material
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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 âAct") 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 AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March
2025, and its profit, total comprehensive loss, its cash flows
and the changes in equity 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 (âSA"s)
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s
Responsibility 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 (âICAI") 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.
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. We
have determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate in our report.
⢠The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion
and Analysis, Board''s report including Annexures to
Board''s report and Corporate Governance report, but
does not include the consolidated financial statements,
standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report
thereon. The reports 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 will 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 other information identified above
when it becomes available, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with
governance as required under SA 720 âThe Auditor''s
responsibilities Relating to Other Information''.
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 loss, cash flows
and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including 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
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 standalone financial statements, Management
and Board of Directors are 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 Board of
Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company''s Board of Directors is also responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
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 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 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 misstatement of
the standalone 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 with reference
to standalone 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 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 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
standalone 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 standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone 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
and 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 financial controls 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.
