We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SINTEX INDUSTRIES LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on "the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by 52 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 company''s 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, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed 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 Auditors'' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 Company''s 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.
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 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 audited the accompanying financial statements of SINTEX
INDUSTRIES LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the 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 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 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.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards 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
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company''s preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company''s Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial
statements.
Opinion
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 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 31March 2015, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 29.3 to these financial statements, regarding
the Scheme of Arrangement (the "Scheme") approved by the Honorable High
Court of Gujarat on 25th March,2009. As per the Scheme, the Company
earmarked Rs.200 crore from Securities Premium Account to International
Business Development Reserve Account (the "IBDR") and adjusted against
IBDR the expenses of the nature specified under the scheme amounting to
Rs.200.00 crore up to 31st March, 2015 (Rs.198.11 Crore up to 31st
March,2014). The said accounting treatment has been followed as
prescribed under the Scheme. The relevant accounting principles
generally accepted in India, in absence of such Scheme, does not permit
the adjustment of such expenses against the Securities Premium Account
/ IBDR. Had the Company accounted for these expenses as per Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the balance of Securities
Premium Account / IBDR would have been higher by Rs.200.00 crore as at
31st March, 2015(''198.11 Crore as at 31st March,2014) and profit after
tax would have been lower by Rs.1.89 crore for the year ended on 31st
March, 2015 (Rs.0.80 Crore for the year ended on 31st March,2014) and the
surplus in Statement of profit and loss would have been lower by Rs.200.00
Crores.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

2014 were audited by another auditor whose report dated 8th May, 2014

The Company''s 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") (which continue to be applicable in respect of
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular
15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate
Affairs) and in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We 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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk

reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and

information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a

Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 29.3 to the financial statements, regarding
the Scheme of Arrangement ("the Scheme") approved by the Honourable
High Court of Gujarat on 25th March, 2009. As per the Scheme, the
Company earmarked Rs.200 crore from Securities Premium Account to
International Business Development Reserve Account ("IBDR") in the year
2008-09 and adjusted against IBDR the expenses of the nature specified
under the Scheme amounting to Rs.198.11 crore up to 31st March, 2014

has been followed as prescribed under the Scheme. The relevant
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, in absence of such

crore as at 31st March, 2014 (Rs.197.31 crore as at 31st March, 2013) and
Profit after tax would have been lower by Rs.0.80 crore for the year

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SINTEX
INDUSTRIES LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at 31st March , 2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash
Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company''s 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 referred to in Section 211(3C)
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") and in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility
includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We 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 the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal 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 Company''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the 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 audit opinion.
Opinion
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 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, 2013;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit of
the Company for the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 29.4 to these financial statements, regarding
the Scheme of Arrangement (the "Scheme") approved by the Honourable
High Court of Gujarat, as per which Scheme, in the year 2008-09 the
Company earmarked Rs.200 crore from Securities Premium Account to
International Business Development Reserve Account (the "IBDR") and
adjusted against the earmarked balance of IBDR, 197.31 crore upto March
31, 2013 (192.15 crore upto March 31, 2012) being expenses of the
nature as specified under the Scheme. The said accounting treatment has
been followed as prescribed under the Scheme. The relevant Indian
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in absence of such Scheme,
would not permit the adjustment of such expenses against the Securities
Premium Account / IBDR. Had the Company accounted for these expenses as
per Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, instead of
accounting for as per the Scheme, the balance of Securities Premium
Account would have been higher by 197.31 crore as at March 31, 2013
(192.15 crore as at March 31, 2012) and profit after tax would have
been lower by Rs.5.16 crore for the year ended on March 31, 2013
(Rs.4.42 crore for the previous year ended on March 31, 2012) and the
surplus in Statement of Profit and Loss would have been lower by 197.31
crores.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of SINTEX INDUSTRIES
LIMITED ("the Company") as at 31st March, 2010, the Profit and Loss
Account and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended
on that date, both annexed thereto. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys 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 of material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and the disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and the 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. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 4 of
Schedule 20 to these financial statements, regarding the Scheme of
Arrangement (the "Scheme") approved by the Honourable High Court of
Gujarat, as per which Scheme, in the year 2008-09 the Company earmarked
Rs, 200 crore from Securities Premium Reserve to International Business
Development Reserve Account (the "IBDR") and has adjusted against the
earmarked balance of IBDR, Rs, 141.46 crore upto 31st March, 2010
(including Rs, 10.53 crores during the year) being expenses of the
nature as specified under the Scheme. The said accounting treatment
has been followed as prescribed under the Scheme. The relevant Indian
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in absence of such Scheme,
would not permit the adjustment of expenses against the Securities
Premium Reserve / IBDR. Had the Company accounted for these expenses as
per Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, instead of
accounting for as per the Scheme, the balance of Securities Premium
Reserve / IBDR would have been higher by Rs, 141.46 crore as at 31st
March, 2010 and Profit after tax would have been lower by Rs, 10.53
crore for the year ended on 31st March, 2010.
4. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (CARO)
