Pursuant to section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules framed thereunder
Rishi Sekhri and Co., Chartered Accountants, Mumbai were appointed as statutory auditors

The observation and qualifications made in the Auditor's Report (in italics) are
followed by appropriate Board's reply and explanation (In Bold) as under:
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
A. In respect of trade receivables, which form a significant amount of the Company's
assets, amounting to Rs. 76,30,861 the auditors have not received any confirmation of
balances. The management has obtained confirmation of balances from the respective
parties. The amounts have been outstanding for a considerable period of time taking into
account the prevailing trade practice in respect of the Company's business. During the
year the company has written off an amount of Rs. 3,92,61,338 receivable from Bombay
Diamonds Company Private Limited as the company has conveyed its inability to pay any
further amount. In view of the above we are unable to comment on the realisability of the
debts, and any provision to be made for unrealisability in the carrying amounts of these
balances and on the consequential impact on the financial statements.
The defaulting companies have assured of payments during the coming financial year as
the situation improves. As far as the other company is concerned they have categorically
replied that they are not in a position to make any further payments against their
outstandings. Hence the management felt it prudent not to carry these balances in the
books of account.
B The company has made long term investments in Forever Diamonds Pvt Ltd. and J R
Diamonds Pvt Ltd amounting to Rs.321,800. The said investments continue to be valued at
cost. In the absence of audited financial statements of the above mentioned companies we
are unable to comment on the carrying costs of such investments and the provision for
diminution in their value. We are unable to comment on the impact of provision for
diminution in value of the investments on the financial statements The company made
investments and valued them at costs since these are not very old investments. It is too
premature to write off these investments.
C In view of what is stated above regarding recoverability of trade receivables and
resultant write offs which form a significant amount of the Company's assets and the
impact it could have on the Company's financials, we are unable to conclude on the ability
of the company to carry on as a going concern.
As the customers indicated their willingness to make payments of the outstanding at the
earliest as and their situation improves.
Disclaimer of Opinion

Opinion paragraph specifically relating to readability of Trade Receivables, we have not
been able to obtain audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the financial statement.
