The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the

flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,

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,

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of WAY FINDERS

BRANDS LIMITED dated May 26, 2016

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

of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) as referred to in paragraph 2(f) of ‘Report on

Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of WAY FINDERS

BRANDS LIMITED (“the Company”) as of 31st March, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of

the standalone 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 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.

Auditors’ 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, issued

by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed 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.

e-mail [email protected]

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.

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:

a) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly

reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

b) 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

c) 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

1 Corporate information

2 Basis of Preparation

2.1

(a) Use of Estimates

(b) Intangible Assests

(c) Inventories

(d) Revenue Recognition

(e) Income taxes

(f) Earnings Per Share [Basic & Diluted]

(g) Provisions

(i) Foreign Currency Transactions

ii. Conversion Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act,

1961. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of

earlier years.

Way Finders Brands Limited (‘the Company’) was incorporated on December 26, 2014 under the Companies Act, 2013 to carry on trading of all kinds of footwear and non footwear

products through its various network channels and to carry out any and all such activities as may be necessary or related to or in connection with carrying on such trading activities.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). The Company has prepared these

financial statements to comply in all material respects with the accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the

Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the

historical cost convention.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of previous year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the result of operation during the reporting period. Although these

estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

i. Sale of Goods:

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer, which generally coincides with delivery.

ii. Interest:

Revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and

accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. Computer software are amortized using straight line method for a useful life of 5 years.

The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous

estimates, the amortization period is changed accordingly. Such changes are accounted for in accordance with AS 5 Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in

Accounting Policies.

Finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of traded goods includes purchase and allied costs incurred to bring inventory to its present condition and

location. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost is

determined on the basis of weighted average basis.

(j) Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and Cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

(h) Segment Identification

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding

during the year.

A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of

which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet

date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding

during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential shares.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that

there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In case of carried forward tax losses, deferred

tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits.

i. Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting

currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

iii. Exchange Differences Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting company’s monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially

recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or expenses in the year in which they arise.

The Company's business activity primarily falls within a single business segment.
