INDUSTRIES LIMITED ("the company), which comprise the Balance Sheet as

Statements for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :
The Company's 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 Section 211
(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 read with the General Circular 15/2013
dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in
respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 misstatements, 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 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 aiso includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the 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.
