I have audited the accompanying financial statements of NIDHI GRANITES
LIMITED ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March
31, 2014, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement
for the year ended on that date, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and
financial performance of the Company in accordance with the Accounting
Standard referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the
Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") (which continues to be applicable in
respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of general
Circular 15/2013 dated September 13, 2013), and in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility
include 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
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with
the Standards of Auditing issued by the Institutes of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that I 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 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. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company has not provided for liabilities on account of compensated
absence and gratuity liability on acturial basis and no provision is
made for the defered tax Liability/Assets in the books of account,
which is a departure from the accounting standards referred to in
sub-section 3(C) of section 211 of the Act The impact whereof on the
Profit & Loss Account and net worth is indeterminate.
Qualified Opinion
In my opinion and to the best of my information and according to the
explanations given to me, except for the effect of the matter described
in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements

give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
