with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered

ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

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 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
purposes 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 have relied upon the management's representation relating to the
disclosures in the financial statements regarding (a) segment reporting
(Note 25); (b) related party disclosures (Note 26) and (c) dues to
