Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Cash Flow Statement, and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information for the nine months period then

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (Âthe Act") with respect
to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a
true and fair view of the standalone financial position, standalone
financial performance and standalone cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of
the.Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This
responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the
assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for
ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. .
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Standalone
Financial Statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in
the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made
there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial
Statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the 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
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial control system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, 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 qualified audit opinion on the
Standalone Financial Statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1 Long Term Loans and Advances include amounts of $ 28 Lakhs deposited
against disputed custom duty of 44.60 Lakhs levied by the Collector of
Customs. Though the Company is hopeful of recovery of this amount in
the absence of appropriate audit evidence we are unable to determine
the extent of recovery possible in this case.
2 No provision has been made against the overdue trade receivables (net
of advances) which are outstanding for more than 2 years amounting to
Rs. 119.25 Lakhs.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters
described in the Basis for qualified opinion paragraph and to the best
of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the
Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
