In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on separate audited financial statements/financial results of the subsidiary and associate, which,
- (i) include the financial results of following entities:
| include the financial results of following entities: | include the financial results of following entities: |

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 (the Act). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results 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 consolidated financial results 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.
1 | P a g e
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditors in terms of their report referred to in “Other matters” paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results
These Consolidated quarterly financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Parent Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the group and its associates in accordance with the applicable accounting standards 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.
The respective Board of Directors of the entities included in the group 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 consolidated financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial results, the Board of Directors of the entity’s included in the group are responsible for assessing the respective entity’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 intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the entities included in the group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results 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 consolidated financial results.
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 consolidated financial results, 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 | P a g e
-
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 control 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 the Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the respective Board of Directors’ 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 respective entities 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 consolidated financial results 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 consolidated financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results/ information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that individually or in aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope pf our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent Company of which we are the independent auditors 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.
3 | P a g e
We are not required to perform procedures (as there is no significant component which in aggregate represents at least eighty percent of each of the consolidated revenue, assets and Profits) in accordance with the circular issued by the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.
Other Matters:
-
(i) We did not audit the financial statements of a subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements reflects total revenue of Rs. 41 Lakhs and Rs. 174 Lakhs, net loss and total comprehensive income of Rs. 4 Lakhs and Rs. 11 Lakhs for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively as considered in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of the subsidiary have been audited by other auditor whose report has been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the said subsidiary, is based solely on the report of other auditor.
-
(ii) We did not audit the financial statements of an associate included in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements reflects group’s share in net profit and total comprehensive income of Rs. 7,107 lakhs and Rs. 14,673 lakhs for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of the associate have been audited by other auditor whose report has been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the said associate, is based solely on the report of other auditor.

[I] Business Outlook
Mr. M. P. Taparia, Managing Director, The Supreme Industries Limited, said:
The year under review was the toughest in the history of the Company. It started with an extreme negative outlook. The Company had to keep operations of it’s 24 plants’ closed for most part of the month of April 2020 and could begin in a gradual manner from last week of April onwards.
In the last 10 days, just before the closing of the year, the business has again witnessed tough situation as Covid – 19 second wave started affecting the general public with alarming speed. The situation has become further volatile due to steep increase in Polymer prices. The increase in prices of PVC was steepest. In the last 40 years, international prices of PVC have never reached to the levels seen in April 2021 especially in India, some other Latin American countries and Turkey.
The Company however has come out of these two extreme adverse situations with unparalleled performance where the profit of the Company was highest in it’s 79 years of operations. This was partly supported by more than Rs. 200 crores inventory gain on account of raw material price increase which accrued in it’s operations for the year.
Even with temporary setback which the Company is experiencing in the month of April 2021, the Company has not reduced it’s Capex plan for the year 2021-22. In the current year, not only there will be brownfield expansion of capacities and new products at the existing plants but Company has also embarked on putting up three new greenfield plants in the states of Assam, Orissa and Tamilnadu during the current year.
