Auditor's Report (Design Auto Systems) Year End : Mar '07
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of DESIGN AUTO SYSTEMS
 LIMITED as at 31st March 2007 Profit & Loss Account and also the Cash
 Flow Statement for the period from 01.07.2006 to 31.03.2007 annexed
 there to. 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..
 
 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 misstatements.  An audit includes
 examining on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
 disclosures in financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
 the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements
 presentation. We believe that our Audit provides a reasonable basis for
 our opinion.
 
 1.  As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) (Amendment) Order,
 2004, issued by the Company Law Board in terms of Section 227(4A) of
 the Companies Act, 1956, we annex hereto 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:
 
 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
 audit;
 
 b) In our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have
 been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of
 these books;
 
 c) The Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement
 dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of accounts;
 
 d) In our opinion the said Profit & Loss Account, the Balance Sheet and
 Cash Flow Statement comply with the accounting standards referred to in
 Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 except in case of
 Accounting Standard-15 regarding accounting of retirement benefits;
 (Refer note 1(vi) of Sch.18) & Accounting Standard-13 regarding
 accounting of investments; (Refer note 1(iv) of Sch.18), the decline in
 value of investments, other than temporary, if any, could not be
 ascertained in respect of quoted non-trade and unquoted non trade
 equity shares for want of quotations/ desired information.
 
 e) On the basis of written representations received from the Directors
 of the Company as at 31 st March 2007 & taken on record by the Board of
 Directors, we report that no Director is disqualified from being
 appointed as Director of the Company under clause (g) of sub-section
 (1) of Section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956; and
 
 f) The balances of Sundry Debtors, Sundry Creditors and Loans and
 Advances are subject to confirmation from the respective parties (refer
 note No. 12 of schedule 18 of Notes on Accounts). In our opinion
 sundry Debtors amounting to Rs. 9257748 and Advances of Rs. 2042171 are
 doubtful of recovery. Hence loss for the year is understated by Rs
 11299919 and the Sundry Debtors are overstated by Rs. 9257748 and
 Advances are overstated by Rs.2042171.
 
 g) The company is continuing its corporate guarantee of Rs. 150 Lacs to
 Bank of Baroda against loans to Design Auto Distributions Ltd., without
 obtaining prior permission from Central Government as per the
 provisions of section 295 of Companies Act, 1956.
 
 The Company is continuing advances to Sterling Auto Pvt. Ltd.
 outstanding at the year end of Rs. 1957038/-, in which Mr.
 
 Sarvesh Garg is a Director, without obtaining prior approval from
 Central Government as per the provisions of section 295 of Companies
 Act, 1956.  h) As per terms and conditions of CDR Package the company
 is liable for payment of interest sacrifice amount, the payment of
 which will due at the end of CDR period (Refer Note No 6 of Notes on
 Accounts in Schedule 18). In our opinion the liability is
 crystallised on year to year basis within the CDR period.
 
 The company has not made provision for interest sacrifice amount for
 the period of Rs. 144.00 Lacs in the accounts and total amount remains
 unprovided Rs. 804.74 Lacs.
 
 Therefore the Loss for the year is understated by Rs 144.00 Lacs and
 Secured Loans are understated by Rs. 804.74
 
 Lacs i) As per the modified CDR package, the provision for differential
 interest of IDBI portion of FITL II loan was required to be
 made but not made by the company. (Refer note no. 7 of notes on
 accounts of schedule 18). The company has estimated
 the amount of provision at Rs. 3548311/-, therefore the loss for the
 year & secured loans are understated by Rs. 3548311/-
 
 j) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
 the explanations given to us, the said accounts read with the notes
 thereon in Schedule No. 18 give the information required by the
 Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and subject to the
 remarks in para (f) to (i) give a true and fair view: i) In the case of
 Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March
 2007, and; ii) In the case of Profit & Loss Account, of the Loss for
 the period ended on that date, iii) In the case of Cash Flow Statement,
 of the cash flows for the period ended on that date.
