1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of KDL BIOTECH LIMITED
as at 31st March, 2012 and also the Statement of Profit and Loss and
the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date,
annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 issued
by the Central Government of India under sub-section (4A) of Section
227 of the Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as we
considered appropriate and according to the information and
explanations given to us we enclose in the annexure hereto a statement
on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order
4. (i) As mentioned in Note No. 32 of the financial statements, the
Company has prepared the accounts on the basis of going concern inspite
of loss of Rs. 17,21,23,537 incurred during the current year and
accumulated losses amounting to Rs. 1,83,99,27,558 as at 31st March
2012, resulting into erosion of its entire net worth. The Company also
has working capital deficiency. The Company is a sick company within
the meaning of Section 3(1 )(O) of the Sick industrial Companies
(Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and its reference to the Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) has been registered by
BIFR. These factors raise doubts about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern which is dependent upon infusion of long
terms funds for its future operations. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments, relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or the
amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
(ii) As mentioned in Note No. 33 of the financial statements,
outstanding balances of certain debtors, creditors, secured loans
including interest payable thereon and loans and advances are subject
to confirmation.

Company has created a charge by way of mortgage on 12"1 August, 2010 on
the land acquired in the financial year 2008- 09, in favour of Unimark
Remedies Limted, to secure further borrowing of funds from the said
company, for which permission / approval of lender banks is yet to be
obtained.
(iv) The Company has not provided for the liquidated damages, penal
interest and additional interest on defaults in payment of installments
and interest on credit facilities from banks, the amount of which is
unascertained.
