Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st
March, 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 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 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
these 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 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 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial 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 accounting estimates made by the Company's Boards of 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.
