To the Board of Directors of Black Box Limited
Opinion
-
We have audited the accompanying consolidated annual financial results (the ‘Statement’) of Black Box Limited (the ‘Holding Company’) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the ‘Group’) and its associate for the year ended 31 March 2024, attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (‘Listing Regulations’).
-
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of other auditors on separate audited financial information of the subsidiary and associate, as referred to in paragraph 13 below, the Statement:
-
(i) includes the consolidated annual financial results of the entities listed in Annexure 1;
-
(ii) presents consolidated annual financial results in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations; and
-
(iii) gives 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 the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated net profit after tax and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group and its associate, for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Basis for Opinion
- We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 Statement” section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its associate, 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 Statement 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 issued by the ICAI. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us together with the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 13 of the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Consolidated Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)________________
Emphasis of Matter – Non-compliance with laws and regulations
- We draw attention to Note 6 to the accompanying Statement, which describes the delay in remittance of import payments, repatriation of proceeds from export of goods and services and settlement of advance, by the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies incorporated in India, outstanding as at 31 March 2024 beyond the timelines stipulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 as amended from time to time. The respective management of companies, as aforesaid, have filed necessary applications with the appropriate authority for extension of time period and condonation of such delays. The management is of the view that the fines/ penalties, if any, that may be levied, are currently unascertainable but not expected to be material and accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the accompanying Statement in respect of aforesaid delays. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement
-
The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company’s management and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group including its associate in accordance with the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors/ management of the companies included in the Group and its associate, covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of their respective entities included in the Group and its associate, 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 results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
-
In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors/ management of the entities included in the Group and of its associate, are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities included in the Group and of its associate, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the respective Board of Directors/ management of such entities either intends to liquidate the respective entities included in the Group and its associate or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
-
The respective Board of Directors/ management of the entities included in the Group and its associate, are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the respective entities included in the Group and of its associate.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement
- Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 this Statement.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Consolidated Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)________________
-
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 Holding Company has adequate Internal Financial Controls with reference to consolidated 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 Board of Directors of the Holding Company;
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of Holding Company’s Board of Directors’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 ability of the Group and its associates, 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 Statement 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 Group and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern;
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; and
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group and its associate, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company, 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 of the Holding Company 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.
-
We also performed procedures in accordance with SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019, issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

Other Matter
- We did not audit the annual financial information of one subsidiary included in the Statement, whose financial information reflects total assets of Rs. 67.07 Crores as at 31 March 2024, total revenues of Rs. 72.62 Crores, total net profit after tax of Rs. 31.07 Crores, total comprehensive income of Rs. 31.31 Crores, and cash flows (net) of Rs. 3.16 Crores for the year ended 31 March 2024, as considered in the Statement. The Statement also includes the Group’s share of net profit after tax of Rs. 1.67 Crores and total comprehensive income of Rs. 1.67 Crores for the year ended 31 March 2024, in respect of one associate, whose annual financial information have not been audited by us. These annual financial information have been audited by other auditors whose audit reports have been furnished to us by the management of the Holding Company, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this subsidiary and associate is based solely on the audit reports of such other auditors, and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 12 above.
Further, this subsidiary and associate are located outside India, whose annual financial information have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their country, and which have been audited by other auditors under International Standards on Auditing applicable in their country. The Holding Company’s management has converted the annual financial information of this subsidiary and associate from accounting principles generally accepted in their country to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Holding Company’s management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this subsidiary and associate, is based on the audit report of other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and audited by us.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters with respect to our reliance on the work done by and the reports of the other auditors.
- The Statement includes the consolidated financial results for the quarter ended 31 March 2024, being the balancing figures between the audited consolidated figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year-to-date consolidated figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us.
