 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.

 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;
 
 c.  The Financial Statements dealt with by this report are in agreement
 with the books of account;
 
 d.  On the basis of written representations received from the
 directors, as on March 31, 2008 and taken on record by the Board of
 Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
 March 31, 2008 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause

 e.  In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
 the explanations given to us, the Financial Statements dealt with by
 this report comply with the accounting standards referred to in
 sub-Section (3C) of Section 211 of the Act and the Rules framed there
 under and give the information required by the Act, in the manner so

 March 31, 2008;
