to provide a basis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial
Statements.
Key Audit Matters
4. A Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements of the current year. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate in our report.
Other Information
5. The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Companyâs annual report but
does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our
auditorsâ report thereon. The Other Information is expected to
be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
6. Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
7. In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the Standalone 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.
8. When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance and
take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws
and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with
Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
9. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to
the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements
that give a true and fair view of the State of Affairs, profit
and Other Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and
Cash Flows of the Company 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 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 of the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other
irregularities; selection of the appropriate accounting software
for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations
including those related to retention of audit logs; 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
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
10. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Board of
Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
11. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements
12. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditorâs 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 Financial Statements.
13. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
13.1. 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 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.
13.2. 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) the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial
Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.
13.3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Management.
13.4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managementâs
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 Companyâs ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the
Standalone 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 auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
13.5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
10. The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
11. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 Financial Statements.
12. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
12.1. 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 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.
12.2. 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) the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
12.3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management.
12.4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the Standalone 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 auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
12.5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

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] reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with gen'' 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 in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) pro'' reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as neck 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 independent per 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 atomically 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 incompliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited ("the Company"), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and
Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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 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, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safe guarding 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.
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
thereunder.
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 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 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 qualified audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1) The Company has debited Rs. 34.74 Lakhs under advertisement and
travelling expenses being reimbursement to a group company for which no
evidence/supporting is provided. This has resulted in overstatement of
loss for the year and understatement of amount receivable from the
group company by Rs. 34.74 Lakhs.
2) The Company during the year commenced the business of trading in
electrical goods (Refer Note No. 38) where in sales are only to LightO
Technologies Private Limited (a related party). Further, the Company
also gave Inter Corporate Deposit to the said related party which was
in excess of the amount approved by the audit committee by Rs.185
Lakhs. As at March 31, 2015, the Company has to receive Rs. 256.31
Lakhs against sale of goods and Rs. 688.84 Lakhs (including interest)
against Inter Corporate Deposit. We were not provided with sufficient
and appropriate audit evidence about the recoverability of the above
amounts. Consequently, we are unable to determine whether any
adjustments to these amounts are necessary.
3) We draw attention to Note No. 36 forming part of the standalone
financial statements, which refers to the fact that the shareholders of
the Company at their meeting (convened on the directions of the Hon'ble
High Court of Madras) held on April 15, 2015 have approved the Scheme
of Arrangement between the Company and TAAL Enterprises Limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company w.e.f. October 1, 2014 subject
to receipt of regulatory approvals. Further, the above mentioned note
also refers to the proposed Reduction in Share Capital of the Company
as a consequence of the said Scheme, the terms of which were approved
by the shareholders of the Company by way of special resolution passed
at their Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 15, 2015. Though
the said Scheme was sanctioned by the Hon'ble High Court of Judicature
at Madras on June 22, 2015 (the copy of which was received on July 23,
2015) i.e. before the adoption of accounts by the Board of Director's
on August 14, 2015, the effect of the said Scheme is not given in the
accounts. We are unable to determine its impact, if any, on the
standalone financial statements.
4) The Company needs to strengthen its policies, procedures and overall
controls in order to provide proper evidences regarding recoverability
of debtors, valuation of work in progress and accounting for direct and
indirect taxes including statutory compliances.We are unable to
determine its impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements.
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
matters 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 March 31, 2015, and
its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
The Company has outstanding MAT Credit Entitlement of Rs. 134.69 Lakhs
as on March 31, 2015, which in the opinion of the management, based on
the projected future taxable profits, will be utilized within the
stipulated time period prescribed as per the provisions of Income Tax
Act, 1961. Considering the uncertainties around the assumptions used
for projections of future taxable profits and its consequential effect
on utilization of MAT Credit Entitlement, we are unable to comment on
the recoverability of MAT Credit Entitlement outstanding as at March
31, 2015 and its consequential impact on the Statement of Profit and
Loss for the year ended March 31, 2015 and on the Reserves of the
Company as on that date (Refer Note No. 18). Our opinion is not
qualified in respect of this matter.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2015 ("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 a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order.
2. As required by Section 143 (3) of the Act, we report that:

the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, all the information and
explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were
necessary for the purposes of our audit.

Flow Statement dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the
books of account.

aforesaid standalone financial statements comply with the Accounting
Standards, except AS-2 "Valuation of Inventories", specified under

Rules, 2014.
(e) The matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph
above, in our opinion, may have an adverse effect on the functioning of
the Company.
(f) On the basis of the written representations received from the

Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2015,
from being appointed as a director in terms of section 164 (2) of the
Act.
(g) The qualification relating to the maintenance of accounts and other

Opinion paragraph above.
(h) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor's
Report in accordance with Rule 11 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors)
Rules, 2014, in our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us:
i. The Company has disclosed the impact of pending litigations on its
financial position in its financial statements as referred to in Note
No. 27 to the financial statements.

derivative contracts for which there were any material foreseeable
losses.
iii. There were no amounts which were required to be transferred to the
Investor Education and Protection Fund by the Company.
(i) a. The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets.
b. Part of the fixed assets have been physically verified by the
management during the year in line with regular programme of
verification which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the
size of the Company and the nature of its assets. According to the
information and explanations given to us, no material discrepancies
were noticed on such verification as compared to the book records.
(ii) a. As explained to us, inventories have been physically verified
during the year by the management. In our opinion, the frequency of
such verification is reasonable.
b. The procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by
the management are generally reasonable and adequate in relation to the
size of the Company and the nature of its business.
c. The Company has maintained proper records of inventory except in
the case of Work in Progress. No material discrepancies were noticed on
verification between the physical stocks and the book records. In our
opinion, the present operative modules of ERP are insufficient to
ascertain the cost and arrive at proper valuation of Work in Progress
as per the Accounting Policies and Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014.
(iii) During the year under audit, the Company has granted fresh
unsecured loans by way of Inter Corporate Deposit to five companies
covered in the register maintained under section 189 of the Companies
Act, 2013. The aggregate maximum amount outstanding during the year was
Rs. 2022.25 Lakhs and the aggregate year-end balance of such loans
amounted to Rs. 1978.64 Lakhs.
a. There are no stipulations for the repayment of principal and the
interest thereon. Therefore, we are unable to comment on the regularity
of receipt of the principal amount and interest thereon.
b. No principal or interest can be termed as overdue in the absence of
time of repayment and thus we are unable to comment on the steps taken
for recovery of principal and interest thereon.
(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
given to us, internal control system is inadequate considering the size
of the Company and the nature of its business with regard to purchase
of inventories and for the sale of goods and services. Further, there
is a continuing failure to correct major weakness in internal control
systems in the areas of debtors, valuation of work in progress and
accounting for direct and indirect taxes including statutory
compliances (Refer paragraph 4 of Basis for Qualified Opinion above).
(v) As per the explanations given to us, the Company has not accepted
any deposits from the public in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 73 to 76 of the Act and the rules framed thereunder.
Accordingly, the provisions stated in paragraph 3 (v) of the Order is
not applicable to the Company.
(vi) The cost accounts and records were not made available to us.
Hence, we are unable to comment on the maintenance of cost records as
specified by the Central Government under Section 148(1) of the
Companies Act, 2013.

on the basis of our examination of the records of the Company, the

the amounts and the 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 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 the 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 audit opinion.
OPINION

explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information
