Basis for Qualified Opinion

The ultimate outcome of the above matter cannot be presently bedetermined. Being unable to make informed judgement, we are unable to express our opinionon the same.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a no material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generallyaccepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. 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 users takenon the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for oneresulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override 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 theAct, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by 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 uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability tocontinue 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 the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions may 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 transactionsand events 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 reasonably knowledgeable user of thefinancial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factorsin (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with boards of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrol that we identify during our audit.
We also provide boards of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements 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 boards of directors, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey 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 doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
