I am trying to find NOT unqualified opinion. Some reports do not say "unqaulified." Does it mean that they are NOT UNQUALIFIED? Here is a report. If it is not unqualified, please explain me why it is not unqualified. In other words, it is qualified or adverse.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Duonas Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Duonas Corp. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholdersâ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companyâs management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also include assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Duonas Corp. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholdersâ equity and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and earnings since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2, which includes achieving profitable operations and raising additional funds. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2â31. Simulation
Casa Royale, Inc., a nonpublic company, retained Ying and Company CPA to perform an
audit of the fi nancial statements for the current year. Howard Smythe, the partner in charge of
the audit, drafted the following unmodifi ed report:

To the Management of Casa Royale, Inc.:
We have examined the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Casa Royale, Inc., and
its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 20X1, and the related consolidated statements of income,
retained earnings, and cash fl ows for the years then ended.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
fi nancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated fi nancial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated fi nancial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated
fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or illegal acts. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entityâs preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entityâs internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated fi nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is adequate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the fi nancial position of Casa Royale, Inc., and its subsidiaries as of December 31,
20X1, and the results of their operations and their cash fl ows for the years then ended in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

âreasonable assurance,â not an opinion (fi rst paragraph under âauditorâsâ

errors or fraud; the term âillegal actsâ is incorrect (second paragraph
