policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate

Auditors' 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
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 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of the 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 audit opinion on the standalone
