We believe that theaudit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on thestandalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the notes to the Ind AS financial statements:
a) Note 8.1 of the standalone financial statements regarding non creation of deferred tax assets on unabsorbeddepreciation and business loss on current year's loss. Based on the management assumptions and futurebusiness plans, management has not created deferred tax assets on the current year carry forward losshowever they are certain about realization of already created deferred tax asset in coming years and hencethe same is not written back in financial statements.
b) Note 9.1 of the standalone financial statements regarding balance pending with government authorities,company's management have been legally advised that it has good case on merits & hence they are of theopinion that the same is realizable.
c) Note 10.1 of the standalone financial statements regarding slow moving closing stock, Company'sManagement are of the opinion that such stock is realizable at the stated value
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit ofthe standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of ouraudit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not providea separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue recognition
(Refer notes 1.7 and 22 to the Standalone FinancialStatements)
Revenue is one of the key profit drivers and is thereforesusceptible to misstatement. Cut-off is the key assertionin so far as revenue recognition is concerned, since aninappropriate cut-off can result in material misstatement ofresults for the year.
Our audit procedures with regard toRevenue recognition included testingcontrols, automated and manual,around dispatches/deliveries, inventoryreconciliations and circularizationof receivable balances, substantivetesting for cut-offs and analytical reviewprocedures.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and ourauditor's report thereon. The other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor'sreport.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalonefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 'The Auditor's responsibilitiesRelating to Other Information'.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with the Ind As and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting
Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financialstatement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
