to fraud or error.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards issued by The Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 of
material misstatement.
An Audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion: -
i. Note12.4 regarding, non-provision / non-ascertainment of diminution
in value of shares held as stock in trade, the eventual shortfall that
may arise there from cannot be commented upon by us.
ii. Note 12.5 regarding non-availability of shares held as stock in
trade for physical verification.

ascertained.
iv. Note 29 regarding non-provision and basis of ascertainment of
