Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Accounting Standard (AS) 15 - Employee Benefits (Revised 2005) requires the provisioning of retirement benefits based on actuarial valuation of retirement benefits and additional disclosures as required in terms of AS-15. The management has made the provisions based on their own estimates.
2. Note No. 5 and 7 of Notes to Financial Statements with regard to non-provision of interest on Inter Corporate Loans, (amount unascertained) and PICUP loans (amounting to Rs 2,67,34,127/- up to 31st March, 2013 and interest amount uncertain from 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2015) resulting into understatement of loss for the year. Similarly non-accounting of interest liability resulting in to understatement of current liabilities as on 31-03-2015 to the same extent.
3. Sundry Debtors/Creditors, unsecured loan and advances have been considered as good for recovery/payable by the management. Also are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. A detailed analysis of actual recoverability/payable which is overdue according to normal operating cycle of the company should be quantified and necessary provision need to be made. The non creation of provision for debts and interest are resulted into under/over statement of balances and loss. (Also Refer Notes on 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16 and 28 to Financial Statements).
4. No provision has been made for contingent liabilities as defined under AS 29 are summarized in Note No. 25 to Notes to Financial Statements.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our knowledge and according to the information and explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters described in paragraphs 1 to 4 of the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the said financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India.

Our opinion is not modified in this respect.
