Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information, and we do not

In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company''s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in
Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Financial Statements that

give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/loss (Inducting other comprehensive
income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards [ind AS)
specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also Includes maintenance of

the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting freucs 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

In preparing the Financial Statements, management and Board of Directors are 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
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.

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
art auditor''s report that Includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but it 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 basts for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from

fraud is higher than for the 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Financial
Statements 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 auditors'' 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 auditors''
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.
