2013 (''Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of
the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act, of the Companies (Accounts) Rules.

financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements. Management and Board of Directors are responsible for
assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, 3S applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the board of Directors either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

reporting process.
10. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone
financial statements
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs. we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The nsk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
b. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3X0 of the Companies Act. 2013. we are also

controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such
controls
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
d. Condude on the appropriateness of Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern
b3sts of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in
the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors'' report However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
11. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters We describe these matters in our auditors'' report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We have audited the Internal financial controls over financial reporting of CIAN Agro Industries & Infrastructures Limited as of March 31, 2018in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting. However, properly documented processes/ policies for recording of purchase, Sales, Manufacturing activity, inventory, payroll statutory compliances etc., were not available for our verification.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Emphasis of Matter
Attention is drawn to non-availability of properly documented processes/ policies for recording of purchase, Sales, Manufacturing activity, inventory, payroll statutory compliances etc. Tracking of processes to confirm controls was not possible in absence of such documentation. Attention is also drawn in respect of accounting software where no controls are in place and everyone is allowed to pass and rectify the entries in the asystem. Log regarding the changes made in the system not maintained.However, our opinion in not qualified on the above matters.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
