Auditor's Report (Asian Electronics) Year End : Mar '11
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Asian Electronics Limited
 (''the Company'') as at March 31, 2011 and also the Profit and Loss
 Account and the Cash Flow Statement 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.  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 of material misstatement. 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 management, as well as
 evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 1.  As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (as
 amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
 sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
 in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4
 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 2.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in Paragraph 1
 above 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 purposes of our audit.
 
 b.  In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
 been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of
 those books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit
 have been received from the branches / divisions not visited by us,
 except for the financial statements of PA L Technology Division which
 have not been audited by branch auditors.
 
 c.  The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement
 dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account.
 
 d.  In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash
 Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting
 Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the
 Companies Act, 1956, except AS – 2 Valuation of Inventories and AS –
 13 Accounting for Investments
 
 e.  On the basis of the written representations received from the
 Directors, as on March 31, 2011, and taken on record by the Board of
 Directors, we report that none of the Directors is disqualified as on
 March 31, 2011 from being appointed as a Director in terms of clause

 f .  Attention is invited to the following:
 
 i. Note No. 2 of Schedule 21(III) regarding transfer of related loans
 and debentures of ESCO and Project Division aggregating to Rs.
 13,871.24 Lacs to two wholly owned subsidiaries. The Lenders have
 refused to give their approval and have informed the company not to
 proceed with hiving off of the Assets and not to transfer the Loans /
 Debentures to the two subsidiaries. Although the Loans / Debentures
 aggregating to Rs.13,871.24 Lacs granted by Banks/ Financial
 Institutions to the Company are not reflected in the Books of Account,
 the Company continues to be liable to the lenders for the Loans /
 Debentures transferred to the subsidiary companies. Also, the Company
 has not provided interest on the above Loans / Debentures for the year
 under review. On the basis of information available to us, we are
 unable to form an opinion in this matter and unable to opine on the
 fall in the value of Investments in the subsidiary companies amounting
 to Rs. 6303.49 Lacs shown under Investment Suspense in Schedule 6.
 
 ii. Note Nos. 4 to 7 of Schedule 21(III) regarding Stock Options
 granted to Directors and Employees. Since the Company has not
 ascertained the fair value of the Options granted, impact of the same
 on the Proforma Loss, Proforma basic earnings per share and Proforma
 diluted earnings per share is not ascertainable.
 
 iii. Note No.9 of Schedule 21(III),wherein as explained, LIC Mutual
 Fund has filed a petition in The Bombay High Court for winding up of
 the company for non-payment of its dues. The matter is sub judice and
 outcome of the same cannot be currently ascertained. Also Bank of India
 has served upon the Company a Notice under Section 13(2) of the
 Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement
 of Security Act, 2002 for repayment of dues and other Banks have also
 asked the Company for repayment of their dues.
 
 iv. Note No. 11 of Schedule 21(III), wherein consequent to review made
 by the management the following are the observations:
 
 1.  Diminution in the value of Investments in certain companies of Rs.
 4367.97 Lacs not reflected in the Financial Statements (AS-13)
 
 2.  Old/Unusable Stocks mainly for discontinued product lines amounting
 to Rs. 3000 Lacs included in Inventories which may no longer be
 realizable (AS-2)
 
 3.  Sundry Debtors considered good includes Rs. 4,216.23 Lacs of old
 Outstanding''s which may not be recoverable.
 
 4.  Old Debit Balances of Rs. 2926.51 Lacs included in Loans and
 Advances and Rs.192.67 Lacs on account of Unreconciled Bank Balances
 which may not be recoverable / realizable. Consequently, although the
 above have been shown as Considered Good, no provision has been made
 for the same.  In view of the above, we are unable to express an
 opinion on the recoverability / realisablility of the above mentioned
 items, the impact of the same on the Loss for the year as well as the
 future viability of the Company as a ''going concern''.
 
 g. Subject to our remarks mentioned in Paragraph (f) above and our
 comments in the Annexure referred to in Paragraph 1, in our opinion and
 to the best of our information and according to the explanations given
 to us, the said accounts read together with the notes thereon give the
