Mar 31, 2025
We have audited the accompanying standalone
financial statements of M/s. Brightcom Group
Limited ("the Company"), which comprises the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash
Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and a summary of the
significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our
information and according to the explanations
given to us, except for the possible effects of the
matters described in the Basis for Qualified
Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act,
2013, as amended ("the Act") in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the State of
Affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2025, its
Profit including other comprehensive income,
changes in Equity and its cash flows for the
year then ended.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone
financial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in
the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Company in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ICAI)
together with the independence requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the standalone
financial statements under the provisions of the
Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements and the
ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the standalone financial statements.
1) We cannot confirm the opening and closing
balances as they are subject to change. SEBI
vide its letter dated 13.04.2023 has ordered
company to undertake examination of its
financial statements for the period 2014-15 to
2021-22 by a peer-reviewed Chartered
Accountant, to ensure that the same are in
compliance with all the applicable accounting
standards and submit the statement of impact
of all the non-compliances. To this extent the
current year''s opening balances and
consequent effect on the closing balances
thereof are subject to the verification and
confirmation by the peer review auditor. (Refer
SEBI Order No
WTM/ASB/CFID/_4/25730/2023-24 point no
177(b))
2) The Company''s revenue is predominantly
derived from its foreign branch in the USA,
which constitutes a significant portion of its
financial performance. In this regard, we have
relied upon the financial statements of the said
foreign branch, which have been confirmed by
a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the USA.
No audit procedures with respect to the
financial statements of the foreign branch have
been carried out by us, and we have placed
reliance solely on the financial statements
confirmed by the US CPA.
3) Considering the SEBI''s Interim order cum
show-cause notice dated 13th April, 2023 we
have made the following observations:
a) As referred in Point No. 72, the company''s
investment in Ybrant Media Acquisition Inc,
one of the subsidiaries of the company has
negative equity/net worth indicating the
existence of an indicator of impairment. But the
company has neither impaired nor created any
provision against the value of Investments in
Ybrant Media Acquisition Inc.
b) As referred in Point No. 177[e] "the company"
has to disseminate the standalone financial
statements of each of its subsidiaries on its
website, for the period between FY 2014-15
and FY 2021-22.
c) The opening balances of Investments,
receivables and payables with related to
subsidiaries in standalone financial statements
are subject to the confirmation of peer review
auditor and due to its consequent effect, the
closing balances thereof are also subject to
variation.
d) The promotors shareholding is based on
available information and may change, as the
company has appealed against SEBI''s interim
order dated 22nd August 2023 and subsequent
confirmatory order dated 28th February 2024.
The proceedings are ongoing.
e) "The company" has still not made any provision
for impairment of investments of Rs.16,886.81
lakhs made in M/s Vuchi Media Private Limited
despite the fact that the proposed acquisition
transaction was revoked by both the parties and
have cancelled the definitive share purchase
agreement that was entered into. And also
1,40,70,000 equity shares allotted to M/s Vuchi
Media Private Limited are pending for cancellation
subject to the legal process completion.
4) SEBI has issued a show-cause notice and an
interim order dated 13-04-2023, observing
certain irregularities, followed by interim order
dated 22-08-2023 and confirmatory order
dated 28-02-2024. SEBI passed a final order
(WTM/AN/CFID/CFID_4/31187/2024-25)
dated 6th February, 2025 in relation to the
''Impairment of Assets'' case. The Company filed
a writ petition challenging the said order,
which had imposed penalties under various
provisions of the SEBI Act and the Securities
Contracts (Regulation) Act. The Hon''ble High
Court, upon perusal of the material on record,
observed that there was no substantive
evidence to justify the quantum of penalty
imposed. Consequently, the Court has granted
an interim suspension of the recovery of the
penalty, while the remaining provisions of the
SEBI order dated 06.02.2025 are pending
adjudication. It may be noted that SEBI had
earlier passed an interim order on 22nd
August, 2023, and subsequently, a
confirmatory order on 28th February, 2024 on
certain other matters. This confirmatory order
has been appealed by the company in SAT
through appeal number 474 of 2024. The same
is pending in SAT. we are not able to express
an opinion on above issues covered, due to its
pendency.
Emphasis of Matter Paragraph
1. With respect to Income Tax the company has
certain appeals pending with the authorities,
the outcome of which is not ascertained as on
the date of Balance Sheet.
2. The standalone Ind AS financial statements of
the Company for the year ended 31st March,
2024 are subject to variation pursuant to
SEBI''s observations/directions, which may
have a consequential effect on the closing
balances as at 31st March, 2025
3. Bank balances were verified to the extent of
bank statements and balances confirmations
provided to us.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of
above matters.
Information Other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report
thereon
The "Company''s" Board of Directors is
responsible for the preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Management
Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report
including Annexure to Board''s Report, Business
Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance
and Shareholder''s Information, but does not
include the standalone financial statements and
our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial
statements does not cover the other
information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone
financial statements, our responsibility is to
read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the standalone
financial statements or our knowledge
obtained during the course of our audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information; we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Management''s Responsibility for the
Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is
responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of 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, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Ind AS and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. 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.
In preparing the standalone financial
statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Company''s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of
Directors is responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the standalone
financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditor''s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in 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 in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence 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
professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement 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 procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate
internal financial controls system in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of
management''s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast a
significant doubt on the Company''s ability 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 in the
standalone 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''s report.
However, future events 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, including the disclosures, and
whether the standalone financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
⢠Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements
in the standalone financial statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the financial statements
may be influenced. We consider quantitative
materiality and qualitative factors in: (i)
planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified
misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with
governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with
governance with a statement that we have
complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related
safe guards.
From the matters communicated with those
charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditor''s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.

Limited ("the Company"), which comprises the

Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash
Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and a summary of the

explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given to us,
except for the possible effects of the matters
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion
section of our report, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013, as

the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, of the State of Affairs of the Group as at

Basis for Qualified Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone
financial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs).
Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities
for the Audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
ICAI) together with the independence
requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the standalone financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.
1) We cannot confirm the opening and
closing balances as they are subject to
change. SEBI vide its letter dated 13.04.2023
has ordered company to undertake
examination of its financial statements for the
period 2014-15 to 2021-22 by a peer-reviewed
Chartered Accountant, to ensure that the
same are in compliance with all the applicable
accounting standards and submit the
statement of impact of all the non¬
compliances. To this extent the current year''s
opening balances and consequent effect on
the closing balances thereof are subject to the
verification and confirmation by the peer
review auditor. (Refer SEBI Order No
WTM/ASB/CFID/_4/25730/2023-24 point no
177(b))
2) The company''s revenue is predominantly
derived from its foreign branch in the USA,
which represents a significant part of its
financial performance. To ensure this accuracy
we have relied on the financial statements of
the foreign branch in the USA which have been
confirmed by their Certified Public Accountant
(CPA).
1) Considering the SEBI''s Interim order cum
show-cause notice dated 13th April, 2023 we have
made the following observations:
a) As referred in Point No. 72, the company''s
investment in Ybrant Media Acquisition Inc, one
of the subsidiaries of the company has negative
equity/net worth indicating the existence of an
indicator of impairment. But the company has
neither impaired nor created any provision
against the value of Investments in Ybrant Media
Acquisition Inc.
b) As referred in Point No. 177[d], "the company"
has to appoint at least one independent director
on its board of directors as a director on the
board of directors of each of its material
subsidiaries within fifteen days of the date of its
order.
c) As referred in Point No. 177[e] "the company"
has to disseminate the standalone financial
statements of each of its subsidiaries on its
website, for the period between FY 2014-15 and FY
2021-22.
d) The opening balances of Investments,
receivables and payables with related to
subsidiaries in standalone financial statements
are subject to the confirmation of peer review
auditor and due to its consequent effect, the
closing balances thereof are also subject to
variation.
e) The promotors shareholding is based on
available information and may change, as the
company has appealed against SEBI''s interim
order dated 22nd August 2023 and subsequent
confirmatory order dated 28th February 2024. The
proceedings are ongoing.
a) "The company" has still not made any
provision for impairment of investments of
Rs.16,886.81 lakhs made in M/s Vuchi Media
Private Limited despite the fact that the proposed
acquisition transaction was revoked by both the
parties and have cancelled the definitive share
purchase agreement that was entered into.
And also 1,40,70,000 equity shares allotted to
M/s Vuchi Media Private Limited are pending
for cancellation subject to the legal process
completion.
1) SEBI has issued a show-cause notice and
an interim order dated 13-04-2023, observing
certain irregularities, followed by interim order
dated 22-08-2023 and confirmatory order
dated 28-02-2024. The company preferred
appeals against the show-cause notice dated
13-04-2023 and interim order dated 22-08¬
2023, vide appeal nos. 941 of 2023, 942 of 2023
this appeal has been withdrawn subsequent to
the issuance of Confirmatory Order on 28-02¬
2024 and appeal No. 474 of 2024 has been
filed before the Hon''ble Securities Appellate
Tribunal and the proceedings are ongoing with
respect to Appeal No.''s 941 of 2023 and 474 of
2024. We are not able to express an opinion on
the issues covered by the said show-cause
notice and interim orders, due to lis-pendency.
The management of the company is yet to
report the status of the compliance of the
directions issued by SEBI in the confirmatory
orders dated 29-02-2024.
Emphasis of Matter Paragraph
1. With respect to Income Tax the company
has certain appeals pending with the
authorities, the outcome of which is not
ascertained as on the date of Balance
Sheet.
2. The standalone Ind AS financial statements
of the company for the previous financial
year i.e., for the year ended 31.03.2023 have
been audited by predecessor auditor. The

variation in view of the SEBI''s
observations/directions and consequent
effect on the closing balances thereof as at
31.03.2024.
3. Bank balances were verified to the extent
of bank statements and balances
confirmations provided to us.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above
matters.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor''s Report thereon
The "Company''s" Board of Directors is responsible
for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information
included in the Management Discussion and
Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexure to
Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report,
Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s
Information, but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditor''s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial
statements does not cover the other information
and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone
financial statements, our responsibility is to read
the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements or our knowledge obtained during the
course of our audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information; we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.
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 Act
with respect to the preparation of these
standalone financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, total comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the Ind AS and
other accounting principles generally
accepted in India. 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.
In preparing the standalone financial
statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Company''s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting
process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the standalone
financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in
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 in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence 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
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We
also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement 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 procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)
of the Act, we are also responsible for
expressing our opinion on whether the
Company has adequate internal financial
controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of
management''s use of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material
⢠uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast a significant
doubt on the Company''s ability 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 in the standalone
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''s report. However, future events 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, including the disclosures, and
whether the standalone financial
statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
⢠Materiality is the magnitude of
misstatements in the standalone financial
statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the
economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the financial
statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in: (i) planning the scope of our
audit work and in evaluating the results of
our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of
any identified misstatements in the
financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with
governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance
with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them
all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related
safe guards.
From the matters communicated with those
charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our
auditor''s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits
of such communication.

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexure to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 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 in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 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 professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 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 procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast a significant doubt on the Company''s ability 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 in the standalone 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''s report. However, future events 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, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
⢠Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in: (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safe guards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Inherent Limitation of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitation of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud my occur and not be deducted. Also, Projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become in adequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31st, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute Of Chartered Accountants of India.
