 Basis for OpinionWe conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordancewith the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards
 are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the
 Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
 independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of
 Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
 audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act
 and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
 ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
 and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we
 have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
 for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
 Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionalJudgment, were of most significance in our audit of these
 financial statements of the current period. These matters were
 addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements
 as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
 not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have
 determined the matters described below to be the key audit
 matters to be communicated in our report.
 
| Sr. No. | Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter |  
| 1 | Evaluation of uncertain legal position of leaseholdland.
 (Refer note no. 20A to the financial statements) The lease period of land held by the Company hasexpired. The Company has filed necessary writ petition
 with High Court of Gujarat in April, 2013 which is still
 pending for adjudication. The Company has also
 made necessary application to State Government for
 Conversion of land from Leasehold to Freehold or
 Extension of Lease, which is in process. This matter
 being sub-Judice, essentially involves significant
 judgement to determine the possible outcome and
 therefore, we have considered it as a key audit matter.
 | We performed the following substantive procedures: •    Obtained details of application made to StateGovernment.
 •    Obtained details of writ petition filed to the High Courtof Gujarat and order copy passed by the High Court
 of Gujarat restraining the State Government from
 disturbing the actual possession over the property.
 •    Obtained details of progress in the matter. •    Read the minutes of the board meetings. Based on the procedures described, management'sevaluation of the same is acceptable.
 |  Information Other than the Financial Statements andAuditors' Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thepreparation of the other information. The other information
 comprises the information included in the Board's Report
 including Annexures to Board's Report, Management
 Discussion and Analysis, Corporate Governance Report and
 Shareholder's Information but does not include the financial
 statements and our auditors' report thereon. The above-
 referred information is expected to be made available to us
 after the date of this audit report.
 Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
 In connection with our audit of the financial statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information identified above
 when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether
 the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
 statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
 appears to be materially misstated.
 When we read the information, which we will obtained after thedate of auditors' report and if we conclude that there is a material
 misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the
 matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate
 actions necessitated by the circumstances and the applicable
 laws and regulations. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged withGovernance for the Financial Statements
 The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
 preparation of these financial statements that give a true and
 fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total
 comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of
 the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
 generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
 Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act.
 This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
 for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing
 and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
 and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
 Judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
 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
 statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
 material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or
 to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
 The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
 Company's financial reporting process.
 Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements
 Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free from
 material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
 issue an auditors' 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 statements.
 As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
 throughout the audit. We also:
 •    Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thefinancial statements, 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 tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that are
 appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
 opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal
 financial controls with reference to financial statements in
 place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
 •    Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
 related disclosures made by management.
 •    Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe 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 auditors'
 report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
 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 auditors' report. However,
 future events or conditions may cause the Company to
 cease to continue as a going concern.
 •    Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
 whether the financial statements represent the underlying
 transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
 presentation.
 We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, 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 statementthat we have complied 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.
 From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of most
 significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current
 period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
 these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation
 precludes public disclosure about the matters or when, in
 extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
 should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
 consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
 outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
