Electric President Systems Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, 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 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 financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash fows
of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under
section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014. This responsibility 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 the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial control 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.
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 conducted our
audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 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 controls
system over financial reporting and the 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 standalone financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, 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, 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 Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements
which indicates that the Company incurred loss after tax of Rs.
37,182,769 for the year ended March 31, 2015. Further, the Company
incurred loss after tax amounting to Rs. 48,192,526 and Rs. 33,295,488 for
the year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These conditions,
along with other matters as set forth in note 2 to the accompanying

that may cast substantial doubts regarding the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
