2. As Detailed in Note No. 45 of Standalone Financial Statements, Loans and Advancesamounting in Rs. 422.34 Lakhs are subject to confirmation and Reconciliation.
Emphasis of matter
We draw your attention to Note 43 to the standalone financial statements, which describethe management's assessment of the impact of the outbreak of coronavirus (Covid-19)pandemic on the business operations of the Company. The management believes that noadjustments, other than those already considered, are required in the financial statementsas it does not impact the current financial year, however in view of the various preventivemeasures taken (such as complete lock-down restrictions by the Government of India,travel restrictions etc.) and highly uncertain economic environment, a definitiveassessment of the impact on the subsequent periods is highly dependent uponcircumstances as the evolve.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
1. We draw attention to Annexure to the Auditor's Report Para No. vii (a) that thecompany is not regular in depositing its statutory dues with appropriate authorities. Ouropinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
2. The Company is in process to prepare Return and reconciliation for Goods andService tax for the financial year 2022-23. In the absence of sufficient details andinformation, we are unable to determine the correct liabilities of tax, interest and penalty;accordingly we are unable to comment on the impact of related liability included in theseStandalone Financial Statements.
3. Going Concern
Going Concern is an accounting term for business that is assumed will meet its financialobligations when they become due. It functions without the threat of liquidation for theforeseeable future. Hence a declaration of going concern means that the business hasneither the intention nor the need to liquidate or to materially curtail the scale of itsoperation. The company is preparing its financial statement on going concern basis.
However, in our case the company is not sound and incurring losses for last few years.Further company is not paying its statutory dues. This indicate that Material Uncertaintyexist that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a goingconcern.

Auditors' Responsibility
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone FinancialStatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or errorand to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain skepticism throw-out the audit. We also;
• Identify and asses the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone FinancialStatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risk and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.

Under Section 143(3) (i) of theAct, we are responsible for expressing our opinion whether the company has adequateinternal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.

If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the relateddisclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosure are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusion are based on the audit evidence obtained upto thedate of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the companyto cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the Standalone FinancialStatements including the disclosures and whether the Standalone Financial Statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement the we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence ,and to communicate withthem all relationship and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safe guards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matter in our auditors report unless law or regulations precludes public disclosuresabout the matters or when in extremely rare circumstances ,we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequence of doing sowould reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunications
