 Limited (''the Company'') as at June 30, 2011 and also the Profit and Loss
 account and the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date

 the Company''s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion

 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 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.

 amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of

 investments aggregating to Rs. 621,997,000/- (June 30, 2010: Rs.
 621,997,000/-) in Centrum Broking Private Limited, an associate
 Company. As more fully described in note 18 of Schedule16, the
 Management is of the view that there is no permanent diminution to the
 carrying value of the investments of Rs. 621,997,000/- in the associate

 accompanying financial statements.
 
 (b) Note 12(b) of Schedule 16 to the financial statements, wherein the
 Company has incurred managerial remuneration of Rs. 7,717,801/- during
