1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
ASIS Logistics Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31 March 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash
Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the
significant accounting policies.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
2. 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 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 (as amended). This
responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act; safeguarding the assets
of the Company; 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit.
4. 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.
5. 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 standalone financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
6. 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 controls 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.
7. 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.
8. 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

flows for the year ended on that date.
