AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone FinancialStatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone FinancialStatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone FinancialStatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability 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 theStandalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone FinancialStatements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
