Our opinion on the Financial statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion t hereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course ofour audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
Responsibilities of Management and those charged with Governance for the FinancialStatements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) ofthe Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fairview of the Financial position.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancew'ith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal Financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Auditor s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statementsare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We are also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial control system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• 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 entity'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor s report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause theentity to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individuallyor in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
W'e also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, vve determine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
