We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Aqua Logistics Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance sheet as at 31st March 2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
2. Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The management is responsible for 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 Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956. This responsibility includes 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.
3. Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Companys 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 financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for qualified opinion
4. We draw attention to Point (r) forming part of Note 1 to the financial statements regarding the accounting policy followed for treatment of advertisement expenditure as Deferred Revenue Expenditure, which is not in accordance with AS-26 on Intangible Assets issued by the ICAI. Consequently, the profit for the year has been understated by Rs 99.93 lakhs.
5. Parties Account Balances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation and the consequential effects of the same on the profits, assets and liabilities of the company are not determinable.
6. Provision for interest on loan accounts with banks and financial institutions where there has been a default has been made based on contracted rates of interest without providing for penal interest, liquidated damages and other charges (if any) and the same has not been quantified.
7. We draw attention to Note 23 of notes to financial statements on the non completion of transfer formalities for change in ownership to the company for the mines acquired outside India.
