First we need to check about applicability of cost records then it’s exemption and then we need to check about cost audit then it’s exemption.
If previous year turnover is not 35 crores or more then cost records are not applicable, irrespective of whether or not I’m sez and then no question of cost audit 
If previous turnover 35 crores or more then cost records applicable and if I’m sez , exemption from cost audit only
