Managementâs Responsibility for the Ind AS Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.
In conducting 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 thereunder and the Order issued under section 143(11) of the Act.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements 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 Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companyâs Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Ind AS financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2018, and its loss, total comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Material uncertainty related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 36 to the Ind AS financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs.7,842.49 lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2018 and the accumulated losses amounting to Rs.58,171.19 lakhs as on that date, have eroded the net-worth of the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Ind AS financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons stated in the said Note.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Matter
The transition date opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2016 included in these Ind AS financial statements, is based on the statutory financial statements prepared in accordance with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 audited by the predecessor auditor whose report for the year ended March 31, 2016 dated May 30, 2016 expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements, and have been restated to comply with Ind AS. Adjustments made to the previously issued said financial information prepared in accordance with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 to comply with Ind AS have been audited by us.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of E-Land Apparel Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls 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. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations 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 may occur and not be detected. 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 inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, material weakness has been identified in the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31, 2018 in respect of analysing quotations for purchases of raw materials and fixed assets which could potentially result in purchases at higher than market price.
A âmaterial weaknessâ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companyâs annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the material weakness described in Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31, 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.
We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018, and the material weakness does not affect our opinion on the said Ind AS financial statements of the Company.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations 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 may occur and not be detected. 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 inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at March 31, 2016:
(a) The Company did not have appropriate internal control system over inviting and analyzing quotations for purchases of raw materials and fixed assets which could potentially result in purchases at higher than market price.
(b) The Company did not have appropriate internal control system over identification and selection of counterparty and inviting and analyzing tenders/bids for sale of companyâs assets which could potentially result in companyâs assets being sold at a lower than market price and could potentially create opportunities for fraud on the company.
A âmaterial weaknessâ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companyâs annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31, 2016, 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.
Explanatory paragraph
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the financial statements of E-land Apparel Limited Company, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, and the related Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The material weaknesses identified as above was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 2016 financial statements of the company and this report does not affect our report dated May 30, 2016 on which expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of E-Land Apparel
Limited ('the Company'), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March
31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for
the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the 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 financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with 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 includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for
safeguarding of 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 the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial control 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.
Auditor's 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 and
matters 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 issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 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 effectiveness of such
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
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.
Basis of qualified opinion
a. We report that, upon disposal of certain revalued fixed assets,
Company has transferred Rs.1,430.19 lacs, corresponding to the amount
remaining unadjusted in the revaluation reserve as at the date of
disposal in relation to these assets, to the statement of profit and
loss instead of transferring the same to general reserve as required by
Accounting Standard 10 "Accounting for fixed assets".Had the management
transferred this amount from the revaluation reserve directly to the
general reserve, loss for the year and balance in general reserve would
be higher by Rs.1,430.19 lacs.
b. We report that trade receivables and trade payables as at March 31,
2015 are subject to confirmation of balances and reconciliations with
the respective parties. The financial statements do not include the
impact of adjustments, if any, which may arise out of the confirmation
and reconciliation process and accordingly we are unable to comment on
the matter including any consequential impact that may arise in this
regard in these financial statements.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter referred
to in para (a) and possible effect of matter referred to in para (b) in
the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the aforesaid financial
statements give the information required by 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 Company as at March 31, 2015, its loss and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
a. We draw attention to Note 30 (ii) of the financial statements, in
respect of contingency related to 'compensation payable in lieu of bank
sacrifice pursuant to the right of recompense', the outcome of which is
materially uncertain and cannot be determined currently.
b. We draw attention to Note 41 of the financial statements, where
pending receipt of approval from Reserve Bank of India, no adjustment
has been made in the financial statements.
c. We dra w attent ion to Note 39 of the financial statements
regarding managerial remuneration paid by the Company for the year
ended March 31, 2015 in excess of the limits prescribed under the
Companies Act, 2013. As informed to us, the Company has filed an
application with the Central government for approval of such excess
remuneration paid to two directors and is in the process of filing a
revised application with the Central Government for one of its
directors.
d. We draw attention to Note 40 of the financial statements. The
Company has incurred losses during the current period and the
accumulated losses of the Company at the close of the period exceed its
paid up capital and reserves and surplus. These conditions, along with
other matters as set forth in Note 40, indicate the existence of a
material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

Annexure referred to in paragraph 1 under the heading "Report on Other
Legal and Regulatory Requirements" of our report of even date
Re: E-Land Apparel Limited (formerly known as Mudra Lifestyle Limited)
('the Company')
(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets, except for furniture & fixtures, office equipment, vehicles,
computers and electrical installations where the fixed asset register
is not updated for location and quantitative details. Further, in case
of these assets, description of the asset in the fixed asset register
is not sufficient in a large number of cases to make asset
identification possible.
(b) The Company has performed physical verification of only plant and
machinery and vehicles in the current year. No material discrepancies
were noticed on such verification. All other fixed assets have not been
physically verified by the management and hence we are unable to
comment on the discrepancies, if any, that may arise on such
verification.
(ii) (a) The management has conducted physical verification of
inventory at reasonable intervals during the year.
(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventory followed by
the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of
the Company and the nature of its business.
(c) The Company has not maintained proper records of inventory and has
shown inventories of raw material, work in progress, finished goods and
consumables based on physical verification. In the absence of proper
records of inventory, we are unable to comment on discrepancies, if
any, that would have arisen on physical verification.
(iii) According to the information and explanations given to us, the
Company has not granted any loans, secured or unsecured to companies,
firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under section
189 of the Companies Act, 2013. Accordingly, the provisions of clause
3(iii)(a) and (b) of the Order are not applicable to the Company and
hence not commented upon.
(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
given to us and having regard to the explanation that purchases of
items of certain inventories are from vendors specifically nominated by
the customer and hence no comparable quotations are obtained, there is
an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the
Company and the nature of its business for the purchase of fixed assets
and for the sale of services.
The internal control system for purchases of inventory needs to be
significantly strengthened since purchase orders are not timely
approved; existence of significant delays in recording of purchase
invoices as compared to the date of receipt of material and absence of
process to obtain confirmations and perform periodic reconciliations
with vendors.
The internal control system for sale of goods needs to be significantly
strengthened due to absence of process to obtain confirmations and
perform periodic reconciliations with customers; incorrect recording of
sales return transactions and significant amount of unadjusted credits
accumulated in the books of accounts which have not been adjusted
against the respective sale invoices.
In our opinion, this is a continuing failure to correct a major
weakness in the internal control system.
(v) The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public.
(vi) To the best of our knowledge and as explained, the Central
Government has not specified the maintenance of cost records under
clause 148(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, for the products of the
Company.
(vii) (a) Undisputed statutory dues including provident fund,
employees' state insurance, income tax, sales tax, wealth tax, service
tax, customs duty, excise duty, value added tax, cess and other
material statutory dues have not been regularly deposited with the
appropriate authorities and there have been serious delays in a large
number of cases, except for value added tax where the Company is
regular in depositing the same. The provisions of excise duty are not
applicable to the Company.
(b) According to the information and explanations given to us,
undisputed dues in respect of provident fund, employees' state
insurance, income-tax, wealth-tax, service tax, sales-tax, customs
duty, excise duty, value added tax, cess and oth er mate rial statutory
dues which were outstanding, at the year end, for a period of more than
six months from the date they became payable, are as follows:-
Nature of statutory dues Amount (Rs in lacs)
Tax deducted on source 22.39
Municipal Taxes 40.23
(c) According to the records of the Company, the dues outstanding of
income-tax, sales-tax, wealth-tax, service tax, customs duty, excise
duty, value added tax and cess on account of any dispute, are as
follows:
Name of Statute Amount Period for which
