We conducted our audit of the financial statements inaccordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further describedin the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together withthe Ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of thefinancial statements under the provisions of the CompaniesAct, 2013 and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilledour other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that theaudit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statements.
We draw your attention to Note No ... of the financialstatements regarding preparation of financial statements ona going concern basis considering the circumstances statedin the said note and pending crystallization of the company'splans for revamping its operations.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matter.
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgement, were of most significance in our audit of thefinancial statements for the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of the audit of the financialstatements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon,we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act 2013,with respect to the preparation of these financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position andfinancial performance and the Cash Flows of the company inaccordance with the Accounting Principles generally acceptedin India, including the Accounting Standards specified undersection 133 of the Act read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgements and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Undersection 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013 we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosure are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern including the disclosuresand whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We also communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
