requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial results under the provisions of the

evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide basis for our opinion.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial results, 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.

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 Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial
results 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 auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial results, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial results represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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.

relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our

4. Management's Responsibilities for the Financial Results
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by
the Board of Directors, has been prepared on the basis of the related financial statements of
the Company. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and
presentation of the Financial Results that give a true and fair view of the net profit/ (loss) and
other comprehensive Income and other financial Information in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles laid down In Indian Accounting Standards
prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued there under and
other accounting principles generally accepted In India and in compliance with Regulation
33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting record in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and the 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 Results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial results, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the
Company's 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting
process.
5. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial results as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's 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 financial results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial results, 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.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' 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 Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial
results 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 auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial results, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial results represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compiled 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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular Issued by the SEBI under
Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable
