Auditor's Report (Cambridge Solutions) Year End : Dec '10
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Cambridge Solutions
 Limited (the Company) as at December 31, 2010 and the related Profit
 and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that
 date annexed thereto, which we have signed under reference to this
 report. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Companys Management. 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 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.
 
 3.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 3.12 on
 Schedule 18 regarding year end investments of Rs.676,789,412 and loans,
 advances and receivables (net of payables) of Rs.1,989,850,651 due from
 Scadent Group, Inc., USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
 whose net worth has been completely eroded. Based on an evaluation in
 the earlier years, the Company is carrying a provision of
 Rs.766,420,288 against the loans, advances and receivables.  However,
 no further provisions have been made in these financial statements for
 reasons stated therein, which, however, are susceptible to inherent
 uncertainties around the performance of the subsidiary in the
 environment in which it operates.  If the subsidiary does not achieve
 its projected financial results or if the Company is unable to
 implement the proposed strategic restructuring plan, the carrying value
 of investments, loans, advances and receivables at the year-end could
 be significantly impacted.
 
 4.  As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, as
 amended by the Companies (Auditors Report)(Amendment) Order, 2004
 (together the ‘Order), issued by the Central Government of India in
 terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of The Companies Act, 1956 of

 records of the Company as we considered appropriate and according to
 the information and explanations given to us, we give in the Annexure a
 statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
 Order.
