risks, progress of ERM implementation across locations and any exceptions as flagged to it, on periodic basis.

with focus on action and monitoring risks arising out of unintended consequences of decisions or actions
and related to performance, operations, compliance, incidents, processes, systems and transactions are
managed appropriately. The Company believes that the overall risk exposure of present and future risks

Mr. Vijay Atre (DIN: 00416853) and Mr. Prafulchandra Shah (DIN: 00417022) have already attained the age of seventy five years. Thus, in order to comply with the above amendment, Special Resolutions are proposed in the ensuing AGM for Mr. Vijay Atre (DIN: 00416853) and Mr. Prafulchandra Shah (DIN: 00417022) to continue to hold the office of a Non-Executive Director and an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company, respectively, on existing terms and conditions.

16. Audit Report:

a) Statutory Audit Report:

The Company has received a modified opinion in the Auditors'' Report for the financial year 2017-18 which read as under:

The Provision for gratuity as required as per Ind AS 19 - “Employee Benefits” has not been made in current year. The impact of same cannot be ascertained in absence of audit evidence (Actuarial Report) which constitutes a departure from the Ind AS 19 - “Employee Benefits”. Consequently, the employee cost and short term & long term provisions are understated, profit for the year and other equity are overstated.

The Management''s reply to the above audit observation is as follows:

The Management of the Company is in the process of obtaining actuarial valuation report to adopt Ind AS 19. The Management is of the opinion that the provisions related to employee benefits made in the financial statement are adequate. Thus, the impact of understatement of employee cost and short term & long term provisions and the consequential overstatement of profit for the year and other equity would be minimal.

Comments given in Annexure to the Auditors'' Report are self-explanatory.

b) Secretarial Audit Report:

The Board of Directors had appointed M/s. Hemanshu Kapadia & Associates, Company Secretaries (FCS: 3477 and C.P. No.: 2285), to conduct Secretarial Audit for the financial year 2017-18.
