We have audited the accompanying financial statements of M/S SHENTRACON
CHEMICALS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprises the Balance Sheet as
at 31st March 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act'') with respect to
the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position , financial performance and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles, generally
accepted in India including the Accounting Standards specified under
section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules,2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provision 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 judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial control, 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provision of the Act, the accounting and
auditing standards, and matters which are required to be included in
the audit report under the provision 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 misstatements.
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 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and operating effectiveness of
such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by 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 financial
statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the
information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a
true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at 31st March 2015, and its Loss and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw the attention to the following matters in the notes to the
financial statements:
a) Note 19(i) in the financial statements which indicates that there is
no production in the chemical plant since 18.09.1996 and the work
suspension has been notified and declared since 10.10.1999. The
management has resolved to close the chemical plant in the F.Y 2010-11.
The company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been eroded by
more than fifty percent of its net worth. The company has incurred net
loss in current financial year. These conditions indicate the existence
of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
company's ability to continue on a going concern. However the
financial statements of the company have been prepared on a going
concern basis for the reason stated in the said Note No 19(i).
b) Note 19(iii) to the financial statements as regards to contingent
liability which might have impact on company's net worth.
c) Note 19(v) to the financial statements as regards possible erosion
in value of assets held for disposal under current assets due to the
plant being shut since many years and it is not possible to assess the
possible erosion in value.
d) Note 19(vi) to the financial statements as regards possible
reduction in inventory value not ascertained in the absence of physical
verification and valuation thereof.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
