Basis for Qualified opinion
The Company has Capital Work in Progress for Rs75,00,000/- in previous financial yearand they write off the whole Capital Work in Progress of Rs.75,00,000/- during currentfinancial year.

The Companys record indicates that, had management stated the inventories at thelower of cost and net releasable value, however their net releasable value is doubtfulin auditors conviction & it would have been required to write the inventories downto their net releasable value. Accordingly, cost of sales would have been increasedby write down value, and income tax, net income and shareholders fund would havebeen reduced accordingly.

Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin 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 theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.

Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditors report However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Those standards and the guidance note require that we complywith ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financialreporting were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectivelyin all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about theadequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and theiroperating effectiveness.
