Kumars Nationwide Limited (''the Company'') which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2013 and the Statement of Profit and Loss and also the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and a summary of Significant Accounting Policies and other explanatory information.

Management Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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 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 conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Those Standards require that we comply with the 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 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 auditors consider 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. 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

1. The outstanding balances of trade receivables, trade payables, loans & advances and capital advances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. The consequential adjustments, if any, arising out of these are not quantifiable.

2. Inventories lying with third parties and fixed assets have not been physically verified completely and up to date position of records of fixed assets have not been compiled. The consequential impairment/write down, if any, is not quantifiable {Refer Note 33 (b)}.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the 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:

(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 Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter:

We draw attention to –

2. Note 31 of the Financial Statements with regard to invocation of Shares in Reid & Taylor (India) Limited (unlisted Indian subsidiary of the Company) pledged by the Company with IL&FS and thereby adjusting its dues amounting to Rs. 11,691.51 Lacs.
