We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of H P
COTTON TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss
and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation and presentation of these standalone 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 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 judgements 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.
Auditor's 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 there under.
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, 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 the operating
effectiveness of such controls.. 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
financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone 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 profit and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
