We have audited the accompanying standalone ind
AS financial statements of HBL Engineering Limited
(formerly known as HBL Power Systems Limited)
Hyderabad, ("the Company") which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement
of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
income), Statement of Changes in Equity and
Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended
and notes to the financial statements including
material accounting policies and other explanatory
information. (hereinafter referred to as "the financial
statements").
in our opinion and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act'')
in the manner so req uired 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 31,2025 and its profit, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the 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 together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the financial statements under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial
statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that in our
professional judgment were of most significant in
our audit of the financial statements of the current
period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have
determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate in our report.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible
for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in Annual Report
but does not include the financial statements and
our auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of
this auditor''s report.
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 identified above when it becomes
available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance and take necessary actions,
as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of management and those
charged with governance 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, changes in equity and cash flows of
the company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards (Ind AS} specified under
Section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also 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
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.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of
Directors 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
the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the 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 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 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 control
relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3}(i} of the
Companies Act, 2013, 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 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the 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
standalone 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)
evaluating the effect of any identified misstatements
in the standalone 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
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged
with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE 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
We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of HBL Power Systems Limited Hyderabad, ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 31,2023 and its profit, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also 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 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.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of HBL Power Systems Limited ("the company") as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s 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.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, 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 qualified audit opinion on the companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company''s 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 company''s 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 company''s 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 we are of the opinion that, the company has, in all material respects, maintained adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017, 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, and except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses in the operating effectiveness described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31,
2017.
a) The companyâs internal financial controls implemented through Information Technology Controls and General IT Controls have further scope for improvement, absence of which may lead to a failure of the companyâs control procedures to prevent or detect a misstatement of an account balance or disclosure.
b) Control Documents evidencing the operating effectiveness of controls have further scope for improvement, absence of which may result in non-identification of deviations from the approved delegation of authority & responsibility, company''s controls & procedures. In as much, they effect the assessment of risks associated and determination of the effect of the deviations of the control being tested and the evidence to be obtained, as well as forming an opinion on the operating effectiveness of the controls.
A ''material 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 company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31, 2017 financial statements of the company, and these material weaknesses do not affect our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the company.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of HBL
Power Systems Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow
State- ment, 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.
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 reason- able 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 assess-
ments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the
Company's preparation of the financial state- ments 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 account-
ing estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial state- ments.
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
Reference is drawn to Note No.31. Some of the year end balances
appearing under the heads referred to therein are subject to
confirmation / reconciliation and consequential adjustments. In the
absence of (a) Confirmation of Bal- ances; (b) Cause wise analysis of
such balances and (c) details of counter claims, if any, from the
customers, we are not in a position to ascertain the quantum and its
consequential overall impact on the 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
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the
aforesaid standalone financial state- ments 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 31st March, 2015,
and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matters
1) We draw attention to Note 8.1 to Financial Statements which states
that interest on delayed payments to parties, registered as MSME under
the MSMED Act, 2006, is not provided for, as in the absence of any
claim from the said parties, they are reckoned as 'not due' by the
company.
2) We draw attention to Note 15.3 to Financial Statements in respect of
repudiation, by the Insurers, of a claim made by the company, in
respect of which the company had initiated legal action for recovery,
the outcome of which is uncertain at this stage.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matters.

Mar 31, 2014
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of HBL Power
Systems Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2014, and 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
Management is responsible for 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
the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the
act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September 2013
of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that 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 conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing 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
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 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, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. 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 qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1) Reference is drawn to Note No.30. Some of the year end balances
appearing under the heads referred to therein are subject to
confirmation/reconciliation and consequential adjustment, the impact of
which is not quantifiable by us.
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
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the 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:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss of the profit for
the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matters
1) We draw attention to Note 8.1 to Financial Statements which states
that interest on delayed payments to parties, registered as MSME under
the MSMED Act, 2006, is not provided for, as in the absence of any
claim from the said parties, they are reckoned as ''not due'' by the
company.
2) We draw attention to Note 15.2 to Financial Statements in respect of
repudiation, by the Insurers, of a claim made by the company, in
respect of which the company proposes to initiate legal action for
recovery, the outcome of which is uncertain at this stage.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matters.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

the rate at which the cess is to be paid under section 441A of the

account, and also the cash flow statement for the period ended on that
date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order (CARO) 2003,
issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 227 (4A) of the
Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as we considered

remuneration: Based on the approval of the members in the AGM held on
