Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming ouropinion thereon.
We want to express our opinion that going concern of the company has adversely effected afterwritten off several balances of various advances in last year. Company's capital has declinedsignificantly in last years. (Refer notes to accounts point No 8)
As per the management the company is still a going concern entity because it is in process ofidentifying new plans to start the business of the company. But in our view there is no certaintyon the company's going concern. Although the company has prepared its financial statementson a going concern basis.

information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard .Management's Responsibility for the (Ind AS) Financial Statements

Auditors' Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor's report that includes our 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 from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions o f userstaken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
> Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
> 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 uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue 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 inthe financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
> Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
> Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
