 Report
 
 The Notes to Accounts, forming part of Balance Sheet as at the 31st
 March, 2012 and Profit & Loss Account for the year ended on that date,
 referred to in the Auditors'' Report, are self explanatory. However, in
 terms of sub section {3} of Section 217 of the Companies Act, 1956 {the
 Act}, the Auditors'' Report on the Accounts for the year ended on the
 31st March,2012, wherein the Statutory Auditors have made certain
 observations/ qualifications, the Management''s responses are reportedly
 as under:
 
 i).  During the period under review the Company has not claimed any
 exemption under section 80 IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Exemption
 amounting to Rs. 3,448 lacs has been claimed upto the period ended
 March 31,2011 under section 80 lA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 being tax
 profits arising out of sale of Industrial Park units, pending the
 notification of the same by Central Board of Direct Taxes. Also the
 company has taken opinion from a senior counsel that its application
 satisfies all the conditions specified in the said Scheme of Industrial
 Park. Further the Company has submitted all the documents as desired by
 the referred authority during the period and the matter is pending with
 CBDT
 
 ii). During the period under review, the Company has transferred Trunk
 Infrastructure Assets in one of the Integrated Hi-Tech Township
 projects in Uttar Pradesh, to a wholly owned Infra Subsidiary Company
 on the basis of fair valuation by a certified valuer. The obligation of
 further development of Trunk Infrastructure, maintenance and charging
 for the same now lies with the subsidiary company. Resultant surplus of
 Rs. 70.06 crores on transfer of such Infrastructure Assets, being the
 difference between the book value and transfer value has been
 recognised during the year. Further, pursuant to AS-21 which deals with
 Consolidated Financial Statements, such surplus has been eliminated in
 the consolidated financial results on account of this intra-group
 transaction.
 
 iii).  The Auditors of the Company have drawn attention to the fact that
 the Company is carrying project inventory of Rs. 16833 lacs for Group
 Housing Project in Greater Noida. Due to downward trend in the market,
 the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) announced a
 Scheme whereby the developers have an option to accept project on a
 smaller piece of land equivalent to the amount paid and surrender
 balance project land subject to certain conditions. The management had
 applied to the Authority conveying its intention to develop the project
 under this Scheme and has got its approval. The matter is under
 consideration and appropriate adjustment will be made when the final
 decision has been taken by GNIDA.
 
 iv). With respect to comments of the Auditors on advances aggregating
 to Rs. 13707 lacs given to land owning companies/collaborators/others
 for purchase of land and comments on its recoverability/adjustment, the
 management is of the view that such advances are given in respect of
 ongoing transactions and are regarded as being in the normal course of
 business.
 
 v).  The Auditors of the company have drawn attention that the company
 has not considered borrowing costs to be incurred in future in general
 for determining the project revenues, project inventory and debtors.
 The management is of the view that the amount of this item cannot be
 determined at this stage.
 
 vi). The Company has, during the year ended March 31, 2010, changed its
 accounting policy in respect of accounting for certain costs in the
 nature of administration and selling costs by charging them off to
 Profit & Loss against the earlier policy of treating them as part of
 project cost for determining project inventory, revenue and debtors.
 The management is of the view that expenditure of such nature incurred
 in earlier years and considered as part of project inventories under
 Projects/ Contract work in progress upto 31st March, 2009 has been
 carried forward as such.
 
 vii).  With regard to the comments of the Auditors relating to Ansal
 Hi-tech Townships Ltd. (AHTL) which is a subsidiary, that the Company
 has given advances to group companies amounting to Rs. 5873 lacs, for
 purchase of land parcels for which agreements with and confirmations of
 these companies are available with the Company but in the absence of
 details of land purchased and financial position of concerned
 companies, they are unable to comment on these advances. These
 advances, in management view, are good and adequately covered in the
 normal course of business.
 
 viii). In the matter of a Petition filed by the erstwhile joint venture
 partner before the Hon''ble Company Law Board {CLB} u/s 397 and other
 applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, further two
 Applications have been filed by them before the CLB on the 20th April,
 2012 praying, inter alia, for providing all the reports on valuation of
 assets of Ansal Colours Engineering SEZ Limited {Ansal Colours}, the
 subsidiary company, available with, among others, the Company, and, not
 to transfer shares of Ansal Colours, which are subject matter of the
 Petition, to the third parties during its pendency. These Applications
 and the Petition have been re-notified for arguments.
