comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2025, the
statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive

changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to the
Standalone Ind AS financial statements including a summary
of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as the " Standalone Ind

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
Standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013 as amended (the "Act")
in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS")
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025,
its profit (including other comprehensive income), changes
in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act ("SA"s). Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the ''Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Standalone Ind AS 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 ("ICAI") together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
Standalone Ind AS financial statements under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year
ended March 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
For each matter below, our description of how our audit
addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including
in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included
the performance of procedures designed to respond to
our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
Standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our
audit procedures, including the procedures performed to
address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit
opinion on the accompanying Standalone Ind AS financial
statements.

Key Audit Matters |
|
|
1. Revenue Recognition |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Revenue is an important measure |
Our audit procedures in respect to Revenue Recognition included the following; ⢠Inspecting underlying documentation for any book entries which were considered to be material on a sample basis. ⢠Inspecting the key terms and conditions of agreements with major customers on a sample basis to assess if there were any terms and conditions that may |
|
Consequently We Considered Revenue Audit Matter. |
⢠The accuracy and completeness of revenue was verified through Cut-Off testing and Analytical Reviews. ⢠Review that the revenue has been recognized in accordance with the revenue |
1. We draw attention to Note No. 3, where the Company
has not carried out a fair valuation of the property and
assets located at its Kharbao, Mumbai unit and continues
to carry them at historical cost. The production activities
at this location could not be commenced due to certain
unavoidable circumstances in the past. Consequently,
no depreciation has been charged on these assets ever
since. Company believes that the carrying amounts of
these financial assets and financial liabilities approximate
their fair values and that the impact of change, if any, on
account of fair valuation of these financial assets and
financial liabilities, will be insignificant. Our opinion is not
modified in respect of this matter.
2. We draw attention to Note No. 7, where an amount
of ? 2,35,16,348 is receivable from M/s Keynote
Capital Limited ("Keynote") in respect of certain share
transactions alleged to have been misappropriated by
Keynote. As stated in the note, the matter is currently
sub judice and pending for final adjudication before the
Hon''ble Bombay High Court. Our opinion is not modified
in respect of this matter.
3. We draw attention to Note No. 2.(e) significant
accounting policies under Notes forming part of
standalone financial statements, which describes the
Company''s accounting policy regarding depreciation
on property, plant and equipment. The Company has
not considered the residual (salvage) value of fixed
assets while computing depreciation, which is not in
accordance with the requirements of Indian Accounting
Standard (Ind AS) 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment.
As stated in the note, the management is of the view
that the useful life estimated for the assets is lower than
their actual economic life, and therefore, any residual
value at the end of the useful life would be insignificant
and not material to the standalone financial statements.
Accordingly, depreciation has been charged without
considering residual value. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
4. We draw attention to Tax Expenses to the standalone
financial statements, which states that the Company has
made an additional income tax payment of ? 1,21,64,460
in current Financial Year i.e. FY 24-25 in the month of
September 2024, pertaining to the previous financial
year ended March 31, 2024. The said amount has been
recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and
Loss under Tax Expense for earlier Financial Year. Our
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion
and Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexures to
Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance Report and Shareholder''s Information, but does
not include the Standalone Ind AS financial statements and
our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements, or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our 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.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. 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 Standalone Ind AS
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements,
management 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 management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company''s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind
AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 financial 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 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 the 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone
Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
⢠Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company
to express an opinion on the same.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or
in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions
of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Ind
AS 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) to evaluate the effect of any
identified misstatements in the Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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.

a) We have sought and obtained all the information and
explanations which to the best of our knowledge and

from the directors as on March 31, 2025 taken
on record by the Board of Directors, none of the
directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2025 from

164(2) of the Act.
f) With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting of the Company and
the operating effectiveness of such controls, refer
to our separate Report in "Annexure A". Our report
expresses an unmodified opinion on the adequacy
and operating effectiveness of the Company''s
internal financial controls over financial reporting.

understanding, whether recorded in writing or

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance 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.

Emphasis of Matter Para
1. Note no. 7 to the standalone financial statements, Non Current Asset Deposits
The company has not done any fair valuation of its Property at Kharbao, Mumbai as it believes that the carrying amounts of these financlal assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values and that the impact of change, if any, on account of fair valuation of these financial assets and financial liabilities, will be insignificant.
2. Note no. 7 to the standalone financial statements, Capital advances.
The Holding company has a pending legal dispute with M/s KUD Realtors Pvt. Ltd relating to the transfer of assets purchased in favour of the holding company.

As at the date of this report, the final outcome of the legal proceedings is pending but the company is of the view that it will not be able to recover the same and hence debited to profit and loss account.
3. Note no. 3 & 14 to the financial
statements, unsecured
borrowings from DSIR
The Company was granted funds
of Rs 900 lacs by DSIR, for a project of "E-Waste Recycling and Precious Metal Recovery" and as per the original terms of the disbursal, the loan by DSIR, was to be repaid on the successful commercialisation of the project.

4. Note No.7 to the financial statements, Receivables from Keynote Capital Limited
An amount of Rs 2,35,16,348 is receivable from M/s Keynote Capital Limited (Keynote), by the company, on account of share transactions misappropriated by the Keynote Capital Limited. As on the date of this report, the matter is pending for its final outcome before the Bombay High Court.

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance concluslon thereon.
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 Standalone Ind AS 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, comprehensive income, changes in equity 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.
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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficlent 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.
2. 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 explaining our opinion on whether the Group has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Condude 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 Group''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 consolidated 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 entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in amanner 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.
For matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were 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 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.

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.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs 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 the standalone Ind AS 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 companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the stand alone Ind AS 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 deducted. Also projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to 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

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 have 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 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 the 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 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.
Basis of Qualified Opinion :
(i) We draw attention to Note No. 33 of the "Notes forming part of Standalone Financials Statements " regarding method of accounting of ''Miscellaneous expenditure (to the extent not written off)'', which in our opinion is not in accordance with the Accounting Standard 26 "Intangible Assets" aggregating to Rs.8,60,076/-
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 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 31st March 2017, its Loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter:
We draw attention of the management to the following observations without qualifying our opinion:
1) Note 31 of the Notes forming part of Financial Statements regarding holding of equity shares which are currently not being reflected in the Company''s De-mat account due to a dispute with "Keynote Capital Limited" and hence Company has not accounted the loss of Rs. 235.16 Lakhs which is considered as fully recoverable by the Management. The Company has assessed the recoverability of these claims based on legal advice. Considering the Contractual tenability and legal advice from Company''s counsel in the matter, the management is confident of recovery of the same. In view of Significant uncertainty, the amount of loss for eventual non-recovery of claim made by the company, if any is presently not ascertainable. In the interim company has booked the loss on sale of these shares in the current Financial Year.
2) We draw attention to Note 34 of the Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements regarding uncertainties in relation to assets purchased from KUD Realtors Pvt. Ltd. due to certain legal disputes.
3) Note 15 of the Notes forming part of the standalone Financial Statements regarding valuation of closing stock, The Company has certain inventory items which are non-moving and obsolete. This indicates material uncertainty, that may cast doubts on the recoverability of these Inventories. However, in view of the management, no provision is required to be made as they are confident of its recoveries.
4) Note 11 (B) of the Notes forming part of the standalone Financial Statements regarding Branding Expenses, The Company has capitalized Branding expenses incurred amount to Rs. 652.77 Lakhs as Intangible Assets under Development. However, the same as not in consonance into the principles laid down under As-26 "Intangible Assets". The management is of the view that branding will have a long term benefit.
5) Note 11 (C) of the Notes forming part of the standalone Financial Statements regarding Capital work in Progress, Due to prolonged suspension of construction activities of ''E- Waste recycling and Precious metal recovery'''' project, expenses incurred and capitalized so far on those assets, the physical condition of these assets under construction require technical evaluation to determine impairments or write off, if any. However, in the view of the management, the suspension of construction activities of these assets is temporary in nature and assets under construction are not obsolete, and the company will be able to resume construction activities in the near future and hence no provision is required to be made.
6) Note 12 of the Notes forming part of the standalone Financial Statements regarding Non-Current Investment, The market value of the quoted investment as at 31st march, 2017 is Rs. 186.28 lakhs as against the carrying value of Rs. 304.81 lakhs. However, no provision for the same is made as in view of the management, diminution is temporary in nature. Further in respect of investments in unquoted equity shares amounting to Rs. 141.01 lakhs as at 31st march, 2017, out of which for the investment of Rs. 55 lakhs, audited financial statements are not available of the investee companies. No impairment has been provided for the same in the books of accounts as in view of the management the Quoted & Unquoted investments are long term and strategic in nature and there is no diminution other than temporary in nature. We are unable to ascertain or quantify whether any provision is required to be made for the impairment of these investments.
7) Note 13 of the Notes forming part of the standalone Financial Statements regarding Advances recoverable in cash or kind, includes dues outstanding from Shree Ganesh Forgins Ltd. of Rs. 22.50 Lakhs and Chandramouli Silk Mills of Rs. 25 Lakhs. These are outstanding for a long period of time. Absence of recoveries from those parties since several years indicates the existence of material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the recoverability of the advances. However, in view of the management no provision is required as they are proceeding with legal action.
8) Note 35 of the Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements regarding Balances of some of the trade receivables, trade payables and creditor of expenses, loans and advances (given and taken) and loans are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. The consequential adjustments if any, arising out of these are not quantifiable.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Eco Recycling Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2016 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 Company''s 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 (ICAI). 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 Companyâs 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 auditor''s 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 audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company 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 companyâs 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, 2016, 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.

financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in under section (3c) of section
211 of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General
Circular 152013/ dated September 13, 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 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 misstatements.
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 judgement, 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 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 of Qualified Opinion:
We draw attention to Note 37 of the Notes forming part of financial
statements regarding method of accounting of miscellaneous expenditure
which are in our opinion is not in accordance with the Accounting
Standard 26 "Intangible Assets" aggregating to Rs. 64,98,617/-.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except in the basis for Qualified - opinion
paragraph, 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:

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 Matter:
We draw attention to Note 33 of the Notes forming part of financial
statements regarding holding of equity shares which are currently not
being reflected in the company''s de-mat account due to a dispute with
"Keynote Capital Limited", and hence company has not accounted the loss
of Rs. 213.39/- lacs which is considered as fully recoverable by the
management. The Company has assessed the recoverability of these claims
based on legal advice. Considering the contractual tenability and legal
advice from Company''s counsel in the matter, the management is
confident of recovery of the same. In view of significant uncertainty,
the amount of loss for eventual non-recovery of claim made by the
company, if any is presently not ascertainable.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
