Key audit matters are those matters that, in ourprofessional judgement, were of most significance inour audit of the standalone financial statements forthe current year. These matters were addressed inthe context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinionthereon, and we do not provide a separate opinionon these matters. We have determined the matterdescribed below to be the key audit matter to becommunicated in our report:
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible forthe other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Company's Annualreport but does not include the standalone financialstatements and our auditor's report thereon. TheAnnual report is expected to be made available to usafter the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statementsdoes not cover the other information and we will notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation identified above when it becomes availableand, in doing so, consider whether the other informationis materially inconsistent with the standalone financialstatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual report, if we concludethat there is a material misstatement therein, weare required to communicate the matter to thosecharged with governance under SA 720 'The Auditor'sresponsibilities Relating to Other Information' and takenecessary actions, as applicable under the relevantlaws and regulations.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsiblefor the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance, changesin equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance

that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
