We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the financial statements of the current period.
We have not determined any matters to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board'sReport including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governanceand Shareholder’s Information but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's reportthereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in theaudit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 144(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so, the Board of Directors are also responsiblefor overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not guaranteed that anaudit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken basedon these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequatefinancial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonable knowledgeable users of thefinancial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing sowould be reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
