The Company''s Directors and the RP are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s annual report but does not include Financial Statements and our Auditors'' Report
thereon. Our opinion on the 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 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.
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2024 have been taken on record by the RP while discharging the power of the Board of Directors of the Company which were conferred on him in terms of the provision of section 17 of the Code. For the said purpose as explained in note no. 1.1 of the financial statements, the RP has relied upon the certification, representations, statements and other relevant information provided by the Directors and other Officers of the Company in relation to these financial statements.
The Company''s Directors and the RP 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 financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. 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.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors and RP are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors and RP either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Directors and RP are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
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 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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)® of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has an 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 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 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 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 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.

Independent Auditor''s Report
To the Members of
Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Limited Report on the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information in which are incorporated the Reports for the year ended on that date audited by the branch auditors of the company''s branches at Puducherry, Nashik and Rishikesh (herein after referred to as Standalone Ind AS financial statements).
Management''s Responsibility for the Ind AS Standalone 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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under.
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 standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS 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 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
a) As stated in Note no. 2.38.1 of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, due to inadequacy of profit, managerial remuneration to the extent of Rs, 1,818 Lakhs has exceeded the limits laid down in the Companies Act, 2013. In absence of Central Government''s approval for the same, we are unable to ascertain the impact and comment upon the same.
b) As stated in Note No. 2.43 of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, no provision for entry tax amounting to '' 2,059 Lakhs and interest thereon has been made by the company pending determination of the final leviable amount.
c) As stated in Note No. 2.40 of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, the lenders had restructured the Term Loans with certain stipulations. The company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest thereon for quarter ended 31st March 2018 and part of quarter ended 31st December 2017. During the current quarter, lenders have also suggested additional reorganizing/restructuring measures to be taken by the company which are being considered by the company. At present, CompanyRs,s Net Worth has completely eroded and with present position of cash flows, the company may not be able to meet its repayment obligations to its lenders in foreseeable future. Company''s profitability and consequent repayment of loan are now dependent upon mutual settlement with the lenders and outcome of reorganizing/restructuring measures. In view of the aforesaid we are unable to comment whether the company is a going concern.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the aforesaid standalone Ind AS 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 2018, its Loss, Total Comprehensive Income, the changes in Equity and its Cash Flows for the year ended on that date.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements/ information of Puducherry, Rishikesh and Nashik included in the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company whose financial statement/ financial information reflect total assets of Rs, 1,14,853.85 Lakhs as at 31st March 2018 and total revenues of Rs, 74719.54 Lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the standalone financial statements. The financial statements/ information of these branches have been audited by the branch auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these branches is based solely on the Report of such branch auditors.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
As required by, the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2016 ("the Order") issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the Act, we give in the "Annexure B", a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindustan National Glass & Industries Limited ("the Company") as at 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 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 Act.
Auditor''s 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 Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. 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''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 standalone Ind AS 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 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 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 controls 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.

"Annexure B" referred to in our report of even date
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Limited ("the Company'') as at 31st March 2017 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 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 Act.
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 Act, 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 ICAI. 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 judgement, 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''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 standalone Ind AS 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 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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 31st March 2017, 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.

Date : 15th May 2017 Membership No: 055104
Mar 31, 2015
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Limited ("the Company"), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit
and Loss, Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information in
which are incorporated the Returns for the year ended on that date
audited by the branch auditors of the company's branches at Pondicherry,
Nasik and Risikesh .
Management's responsibility for the standalone 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 and
cash fows 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 Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014. Tis 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
there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Tose 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 auditors' 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 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 qualified audit opinion.
Basis for qualified opinion
As stated in Note no. 2.34.1 of the financial statements, due to
inadequacy of profit managerial remuneration to the extent of Rs. 944.63
Lakhs (including Rs. 302.72 Lakhs pertaining to previous year) has become
in excess of the limits laid down in the Companies Act, 2013 and
Companies Act, 1956 respectively awaiting Central Government approval.
Pending such approvals, impact thereof on the Financial Statements is
not ascertainable.
qualified opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, 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 March 31, 2015, its Loss and its
Cash Flows for the year ended on that date.
emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
Financial Statements:
1. Attention is invited to Note No 2.13.1 regarding carry forward of
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit Entitlement of Rs. 2,587.57 Lakhs
based on future taxable income projected by the company.
2. Attention is invited to Note No 2.29 regarding long term Gas Supply
Agreement (GSA) with GAIL(India)Limited; there are under drawn
quantities of Liquefed Natural Gas(LNG) for the calendar year 2014.
Against these the company has received demand notice from seller
aggregating to Rs. 1758 Lakhs only representing an aggregate under drawn
quantity of 450774 MMBTU. If this demand is paid, the same will be
treated as advance in accounts as the company will be eligible to take
under drawn quantities of LNG for the calendar year 2014 in subsequent
contract years subject to seller's operational flexibility and price
adjustments. The company has also represented to seller for reducing
the said amount demanded which is pending resolution. Management is
confident about utilization of under drawn LNG as above in subsequent
contracted years. Accordingly pending resolution and in view of
proposed use of LNG in future as stated above, no effect of the same
has been given in these accounts. The said amount has been considered as
contingent liability.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements/ information of Puducherry,
Rishikesh and Nashik included in the standalone financial statements of
the Company whose financial statement/ financial information reflect total
assets of Rs. 1,25,758 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2015 and total revenues of
Rs. 69,561 Lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the
standalone financial statements. The financial statements / information's
of these branches have been audited by the branch auditors whose

relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these
branches, is based solely on the Report of such branch auditors.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hindusthan
National Glass & Industries Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014 and 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
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 sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General Circular
15/2013 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 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 auditors'' 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 entity''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 for Qualified Opinion
As stated in Note no. 2.35.1 of the Financial Statements due to
inadequacy of profit managerial remuneration to the extent of Rs.
1,121.70 Lakhs (including Rs. 579.43 Lakhs pertaining to previous year)
has become in excess of the limits laid down in the Companies Act, 1956
awaiting Central Government approval. Pending such approvals, impact
thereof on the Financial Statements is not ascertainable.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for possible effect of the matter
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial
statements read with notes thereon 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, 2014;
(b) In the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss 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.
