We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
GUJARAT LEASE FINANCING LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss
and the Cash Flow Statement, and a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information for the year then
ended.
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 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards andmatters which are required to be included in
the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder.
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 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 controls 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
Attention is invited to the Note 2.20 (c) regarding non-recognition of
income of interest on tax refunds amounting to Rs.1,060.94 lacs
(Previous year ended 31st March, 2014: Rs.1,033.66 lacs) and short
provision of tax of Rs.277.21 lacs (Previous year ended 31st March,
2014: Rs.284.96 lacs).
Had the aforesaid amount on tax refund been accounted for in the books
of account, the accumulated losses as at 31st March, 2015 would have
been Rs.16,752.40lacs (Previous year ended 31st March, 2014: Rs.
16,780.33 lacs) as against reported figure of Rs.17,536.13 lacs
(Previous year ended 31st March, 2014: Rs. 17,529.03 lacs), provision
for taxation net of advance tax would have been converted to advance
tax net of provision Rs.1.79 lacs (Previous year ended 31st March,
2014: Rs. 1.97 lacs) as against reported figure of Rs.781.94 lacs
(Previous year ended 31st March, 2014: Rs. 746.73 lacs)
This matter was also qualified in our report on the financial
