Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 of material misstatement. An audit
includes examination 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 presentation of
the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) order, 2003 issued

passed on 31.12.2010. A demand of Rs. 34.83 crores has been raised
against the company by the Assessing Officer of Income Tax Department.
The company has filed an appeal before the CIT (A) and the same has not
been yet scheduled for hearing. The Management considers that the
appeal matter would be pronounced in the favour of the company and
hence the claim has been disclosed under ÃContingent Liabilities'.
b) Note 18 of schedule ÃPÃ forming part of the financial statement
relating to appeal filed by ACIT, CC- 20 before the Hon'ble High Court
u/s. 260A on 26.04.2010 for the AY 2005-06 in relation to deduction
allowed under section 80IB, the outcome of which is still pending. The
Hon'ble Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Ahemdabad pronounced the order
for the above said case in the Company's favour. So the Management
considers the Hon'ble High Court would pronounce the matter in the
favour of the company and hence the claim has been disclosed under
ÃContingent Liabilities'.

we report that:
a) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our
