showing full particulars, including quantitative
details and situation of fixed assets.

fixed assets has been physically verified by the
Management during the year and no material
discrepancies have been noticed on such
verification.

verification of inventory followed by the
Management are reasonable and adequate in

of inventory as compared to book records
were not material.

secured or unsecured, to companies, firms or

opinion that, prima facie, the prescribed accounts
and records have been made and maintained. We
have not, however, made a detailed examination of
the records with a view to determine whether they
